Curse you, Black Friday, Curse you!

So my FLGS had a huge Black Friday Sale online and in store too. Well I picked up the Martian Civil War HH Campaign book, some Citadel Spray cans from the online sale. Then on Friday I went in store to pick up some more items like Ad Mech Onager Dunecrawler, some glue and accelerant, and some Army Painter paints which is the point of today's blog.      So as I slowly have been working on my Forgeworld Deimos Ad Mech forces, I have been using Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic pa

Time for small break from the hobby.

Well I am getting married in just over 3 weeks (24 days and 7 hours), so I have to take a pause from the hobby for the next few weeks. And by hobby, I mean building and painting. I need my hobby space for some wedding projects. I have to paint all the wood flowers for the wedding, work on some of the decorations, and then it is all wedding prep with some exceptions along the way.    So in about a month I will return to this Blog with more Exorcist, Psian Jakals, and Inquistion/ Imperia

Dice Trays

So one of things l like to do in the hobby is have custom dice trays, dice bags and dice for each of my armies.....weird I know it but something easy for me to grab when I am going out to play.    Well one of the my custom items arrived yesterday and so amazing.  It is from one of my favorite sellers of Etsy, OwlKindofDesign.   I have ordered 3 Dice trays from her and the quality and communication has been great. On average it is about a week from ordering to having product i

Kill Team: Hivestorm pt 4

Weekend Update.....ok I have not touched my hobby stuff since Friday night. But I spent all day Saturday with my Future (step)son who is 8 going on 9 this week, and had my Fantasy hockey Draft and Sunday we were doing family stuff. This is going to be a rough week of Hobby, the youngest (step)son is turning 6 today and Thursday is the other (step)son's birthday, so I am losing a few days of hobby this week so hopefully I can get a lot done Friday night after bed time to make my Saturday deadline

Kill Team: Hivestorm

I was able to order my Kill Team: Hivestorm box via my LGS along with KT: Scout Cards.  I really excited about the Aquilons and I need to resume working my Psian Jackals.          But I also have my Scouts to work on     Looking at having a team ready for drop day. I guess it will be the scouts. So by October 5th, I am hoping to have my 11 Exorcists Scouts ready for Kill Team.

100 Blog Posts.....

Troy’s Blood Angels

And they shall be my Angels of Death

Well the expensive 40K weekend got more expensive….future (step)son Troy, got his trip to my LGS and onions army. His Brother Coop and Mikey both picked their armies already so it was finally his turn*.   So some back story. My fiancé And I have known each other since we were 11 years old, in High School we dated and afterwards we got engaged. As we were way too young, we broke up. A few years later she married someone and I started a long term relationship with someone. She has one biolo

Mikey’s Death Guard

In the embrace of Nurgle….

Another son has decided on his army. After taking him to lgs and running into friends I have not seen in 4 years or so, one of them converted him from Necrons to Death guard. So he picked up the following Models:     Lord of Virulence      Nauseous Rotbone, Plague Surgeon.   He loves Transformers, Robots, and He-man so I figured it would be Tau or Necrons. He really liked the Necrons but when he saw Mortarion and the Great Unclean one he was hook

New miniature case!

So I finally upgraded to another miniature case.   My battlefoam 352 case is still in good condition but I did not want to drop the extra money on sliders magna racks when it was too small already. The Battlefoam case is super nice and the slider is the way to go but the price point is super high.        My Large old GW case is great for pewter models but plastic not so much.        The new case: jucoci

Coop’s Genestealer cult

So it begins….

Well a trip to my FLGS with my soon to be 11 year old (step)son did not end as I had expected.    Originally it was supposed to be a quick trip in for some paint but that did not happen. I let him walk around and check out the store and soon he found some models he liked…much to my surprise. He liked the bike models in eldar and marines, liked the Guard for being the military but ultimately he saw the ridge runner, jackals and the characters of the Genestealer cult.  He decided he wanted
Call to Arms

Call To Arms Update #3

Well I hoped to get more done this weekend then I actually did but between the health issues, kids, errands, work issues, and in the end result I made a mental mistake that resulted in my not being able to prime the models. I washed the models put them in the tub to dry and because of the cats I put the lid on it.....which did not allow them to dry fully.      With the 4th of July this week here in the United States, I have a 4 day weekend so I plan on getting them all primed,

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep

Tanksgiving part 4 - Heavy Tank Inbound

Well it has been a week, not so much work related but I finally found time to hobby. I had to decide between painting Sisters of Silence (now that I have all 50 infantry models), the Custodes, or start building the last 2 armor vehicles I have.  Well the Kratos won out. This is were it ended last night.      Just turret and accessories to do.  I am hoping to get it done and get the Cerebus done too  before Saturday so I can focus on painting the rest of the Call to Arms vow

Kids painting 40k models

Introducing the Kids to 40k- a summer project - Preview

A while back my Fiancée was shopping at Target and asked me if I wanted anything. I told her the The Space Marine Board Game. She did pick it up for me.        Not being a Tyranid Player or an Ultramarine player this was an enh purchase for my armies but as an introduction to 40k for my fiancée's adopted sons and my future (step) sons (11, 10, 9, and 8) it felt it would be perfect.  I can build in paint Capt. Titus, the kids can build and paint the Tyranids and then we can pl
