100th Blog Post!

100 Blog Posts..... On January 20th, 2023, I started this blog discussing my armies....well for my 100th posts I want to update my armies and discuss them.     Grey Knights  are by far the closest to being completed army I own.  I still some stuff to build, more to paint, and need to update the weapon glows. Grey Knights is an army I enjoy painting and playing even when I lose.  Grey Knights are my 2nd favorite army.     My Original Raptors/ Raven Guard wa

"Think of your Inquisition's pet Adeptus Astartes mongrels -- the Exorcists."

The Exorcists Chapter     One of my favorite Loyalist Space Marine Chapters is Exorcists. I am torn with them being Sons of Dorns or are they Successors to Grey Knights. Currently I am reading the Kindle short stories "Within These Walls" ebook and then I'll read the "The Empty Place" from the Successor Novel before reading "Oath of Damnation. "    This is one army I have thought about starting and never have.  But I am thinking possible a Kill Team of Scouts and a

I have an idea.....

So as the build of my 54th Psian Jackals Militarum Tempestus Army continues I keep looking at what will be added in the future. Scions and Aquilons for sure. Maybe another Commissar, Primaris Psyker, Regimental Priests (doubtful since this will be updated with new codex). I have 2 of the 3 Taurox Primes and 2 Valkyries. I want to keep the army leaning towards rapid insertion, fast units and non standard Astra Militarum units. While looking I found this:     While it is legen

54th Psian Jackals Part 2

Well that was a good hobby weekend.....well 4 day weekend. My Fiancé had PRK (Photorefractive keratectomy is a laser eye surgery similar to LASIK), since she already had LASIK, done a few years ago so she was down most the weekend so I got to do hobby time while watching the kids, with exception of Monday due to wedding planning meetings and Friday was her surgery so once we were home it was hobby time.    Friday while waiting for her procedure to finish I purchased some items to make

54th Psian Jackals, Tempestus Scions

So as build more Scions, the more I realize that I originally planned them as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, I have been moving more and more away from that idea.  With only 5 models painted, it would be the perfect time to repaint them.   I love the helmets I am using and the skull war paint on the face plates      So the 54th Psian Jackals make the most sense          Good old Duncan had a super easy paint technique for the Psian Jacka

"Fighting soldiers from the sky! Fearless men and women, who jump and die!"

Was planning on painting Purifiers or my Paladins, but found myself working on my Militarum Tempestus, 909th Battalion Charlie Company "Hell Rain".      I have been putting this off as my Tempestor was illegal and I would have to change out his Powerfist for a knife . I built another squad of 5 guys, and have 10 more to build and ordered another 10 more guys.        So as it stands I have planned a 5 man squad (plasma/ volley) attaching to Command (pl

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.

"Dextra Belli Imperatoris"

The Inquisitorial Black Ship "Dextra Belli Imperatoris" is currently under the Command of the Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord Hector Ares currently stationed at Broadsword Station, Titan.     with the Imperial Navy being part of the Imperial Agents codex, and with my 3 Breacher Squads, Valkyrie, and Voidsman at arms.

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

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

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

Work in Progress!

So the new furniture arrived from Ikea yesterday.  Between work and taking care of the kids, the Fiancé and me have the task of building all the furniture and rearraigning the office.  Which may included painting and changing out the lights.        Last night we moved the items bins full of hobby stuff, books, etc. out of the office. Then we moved the old furniture we were getting rid of out on to the downstairs patio. After dinner and cleaning up after dinner, we moved a cab

Upcoming Work in Progress!

So last night my Fiancé and I were discussing the lack of work space in our shared Office/ Hobby Room.  I have a decent amount of workspace but lack display space. She has decent storage space but not enough counter space to work. We have been redoing all the rooms lately so we are no stranger to Ikea visits and deliveries. So after a few minutes of discussion and measurements, and looking at different cabinets,  we purchased new Furniture and agreed to repaint the room in to a lighter color.  M

The War for Khyama Sub-Sector- A Metal Head Armory Campaign PT 1

As one of the founding members of Metal Head Armory here in Arizona, we have always wanted to have our battles in the same system. For the longest time it was a no name system. Until 2015, when I picked a 40k Planet at random, so we fought for control for Khymara.  As the group has advanced into other games, Necromunda and 30k, we never really left that system.  And it is time to update the Metal Head Armory fluff.    Pre-Heresy       41st Millennium

My last blog was vague.......

So in my last blog I was vague. I found some 3d printed parts I thought would perfect for the 20 Leviathan Terminators I have but it turns out they are not for the easy build. Good thing I looked again and did not order them. But I am going to do another project instead, more on that later.    With me cancelling my terminator plan and my house is in the final days of being sold, I'm looking at adding more stuff to my hobby area: Vortex Paint mixer, Neatfi Light/ Magnifier, airbrush spr

Work in Progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While celebrating my birthday this weekend with my amazing Fiancée, we went to Ikea to look at things to remodel our bedroom and walk out closet. I was pricing out my new desk build out. Well the I found a larger desk and chair for cheaper.      So now I am looking at upgrading my paint racks since I have a larger surface area compared to before by 8 inches depth.     And I will be getting new glass cases eventually.    and as a nice surprise m

By the Blood of Sanguinius!

So the Blood Angel 1st company "Archangels" train is moving forward.  Some parts ordered and just need to pick up 2 boxes of the Blood Angels Assault terminators for bits and weapons. Eventually I will get some new Terminators, Chaplain Terminator and Brutulis Dreadnought.   Did grab a Leviathan Terminator Sgt to make into a Terminator Ancient and Sanguinary Guard weapons.     Single Axe blade will be going to Librarian, and the Fancy handguard sword is for Termina

"Sergio's bolter is jammed!"

So @Entropomancer and I have been playing 40k and many other GW games together since 1997 when we were just getting out of HS. I remember playing Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels on the PlayStation at his house back in the day. I many fond memories laughing at the "please wait" loading screens to find out you died a minute or longer later, when we realized you could block a Genestealer attack, or Sergio's bolter jamming*….even the one time he had the Heavy Flamer, it still jammed.

"Prep the Thunderhawks and Shadowhawks! We are leaving."

Well I finally started packing my stuff up at my house, to make it less personal  for the upcoming for sale photos. I filled my Battlefoam Case, GW Case 2 small Cookie sheets, and 1 large cookie sheet.         I still need to pack my Raptors and all the armor.      Opened box is bits and large box sets. Closed box is plastic pile of shame boxed kits and I still have to do plastic pile of shame not boxed, paints, books, etc.    Once I get everythin

Grand Army part 4

Hello Frateris,   Today I am discussing the 4th Installment of my Grand Army Idea.  Part 1 covered my Inquistorial Forces, Part 2 were the Scions, Part 3 Sisters of Silence. While this is covering my Grand Army idea, right now the internal debate is do I add Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas army and My Raptor Space Marines to the Grand Army or leave them as separate forces that are planet side (Adepta Sororitas) and reconnaissance force (Raptors). One of my many upcoming pr

So in my previous post I began talking about my Grand army idea starting with my Inquisitorial Forces (Agents of the Imperium- 1390 + points)   So this post is going to focus on the Astra Miliatarum, Inquisitorial Stormtrooper 909th "Hell Rain" Charlie Company.         The Inquisitorial Stormtrooper 909th, "Hell Rain" Charlie Company is currently assigned to Ordo Malleus.  Hell Rain is know for their skull war paint on their helmets, their grim demeanor, and ru
