About this blog

2026

When Space Hulk was first released, I had just gotten out of being full-time in the Army.  And I had just started college.  I loved this game and played it over and over with the college gaming group.

Since 1989, I have had various editions, but never put the models together and played.

Back in 2016 or so, I got another copy of Space Hulk and played it with my boys, who were 16 and 13 at the time.  Using miniatures I had back then, not the boxed set.  Since then, the boys have brought it up multiple times, and I have always wanted to bring it back out.

2026 is the year that I will accomplish this, and this blog, as well as https://emperorschildren.net/ will be where I document the process and progress.

The Patriarch Ascendant - Ghost Ship

Introduction:     The world of Beta Dalas had once been a loyal hive world of the Imperium, its towering manufactorums feeding the endless wars of mankind. Beneath its cathedrals and refinery stacks, however, corruption had taken root. Inquisitor Broman uncovered a vast Genestealer Cult hidden deep within the underhive, worshipping the so-called Four-Armed God. Before the cult could rise openly, Broman transmitted an emergency astropathic plea to the Imperial Fists. The First Company’s

Airbrushing! Learning something new.

So I usually get bored painting miniatures on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th coats.  The priming is easy, but it is the base coloring and such that drives me crazy.   Way back when I was a kid and doing model cars and such, it was a pain then.  But a friend of mine had an airbrush and never had the same problems.  So why did I.   So I always thought about getting an airbrush, and one time I did.  The kind that took a can of compressed air to work.  Just cumbersome and a pain to use. So in 20

Keeping focus in 2026. A history of excess from the Lord Commander 80s to 2020.

Part of the blog was me "focusing" on doing one thing and finishing it.  Space Hulk.  And I figured I would explain my previous armies/projects. This is my "brain dump" on justification of the blog, and kind of a summary of 30+ years of my time in the hobby.  Just a virtual reminisce for me.  A way for me to capture my thoughts and review them so I can plan the next steps.   More for me to clean my brain out!  And I do think in bullet points, not prose.     I tend to get an idea f

Terminator apothecary

W.A.Rorie gave me a lot of great ideas for the Apothecary and Tech Marine, so huge shout out to them! So the only Apothecary in Terminator armor I could find was an old Dark Angels one!   Looks pretty good, has an Apothicary symbol on their shoulder so I was sold.  I also order some Dark Angels apothecary on bike bits to add more to the model!  I said I wouldn't over do it, so was keeping the model clean.     Now the Dark Angels Apothicary is the old scale

The Imperial Fists - Troops Assembly

So the Imperial Fists: I purchased what I thought I needed (and a bit more) \     So I started assembling the army in a more traditional (to me) way. Priming on the sprue, the assembly was difficult. Having to strip the paint where the model was joined. So I pivotted, as I mentioned, I bought the airbrush and figured I would follow the YouTube videos.  It was a lot easier.  For the Apothecary I used blue tack to block areas.   Nor for the Imperial Fists yo

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.

I have started this project multiple times in the past.  Collecting Genestealers, putting together terminators and more.  But usually I would complicate the idea so much that it would get to be to much for me, and time or attention span would not be up to the task. This time I decided on a couple of quick rules.     Keep the list as simple as possible I would get lost in magnatizing the marines, or hand carving/building the Space Hulk terrain, and it would just take too lo
