"I am His sword as He is my armour." Part 3

Welcome to Part 3 of my Nemesis Dreadknight paint log. I have 3 more to paint (1 Grand Master Nemesis Dreadknight and 2 Nemesis Dreadknights) and I will apply lessons learned to those ones. Most importantly finish build the bases before starting painting. I need to pick up more 3d printed basing bits as it did speed up my basing process vs me making them. I really like the Army Painter Fanatic Effects Plasma Coil and Data Slate Glows. I may have to repaint all my Nemesis force weapons glow eff

"I am His sword as He is my armour."

Trying to get back in the swing of painting has been tough. I have been dealing with the stress of being a new (step) dad, wedding planning, normal life, and work. While it is not depression or it may be a slight depression, it kept me from getting motivated in the hobby. It also could be the pile of Grey plastic sprues, base coated models and boxes of unbuilt models. So with Imperial Agents coming out I knew I would be going to the LGS to pick up my preorder, I figure why not get a game or t

"Armoured in faith, shielded by devotion and armed with purity of purpose."

My previous blog post I talked about getting third of my 6 kids the start to their Armies (Blood Angels, Genestealer Cult, and Death Guard). The remaining 3 are a little too young still. Well Saturday was preorder day as we all know. I had a huge list of what I wanted and only missed out on 2 things.... both the Daemonbreaker and Oath of Damnation novels. I will get the soft cover or audible versions eventually. While that was what

The Daemon has many forms. You must know them all.

I should be working on my CTA 2024 Vow and I just don't have the motivation for some reason. I have been sitting around trying to paint my Ravenguard, Grey Knights, or working on my Adepta Sororitas and nada. I was looking for a Grey Knight parts and found a bag of stuff I have been waiting to build and well it they are built now Inquistor Hector Rex and his retinue, Astropath, Black Ship Captain (count as Rogue Trader)

Grand Army Idea

"And lo: by their devices and desires shall Chaos make itself known to thee."- Silas Hand

With Codex: Imperial Agents on the horizon, in a previous Blog post, I talked about my Grand Army idea...... that was almost a year ago.... so I guess it is time for an update. According to the WarComm article : "Should you instead wish to field an entire army of Imperial Agents, the Codex offers four new Detachments which add their own Detachment rules, Stratagems, and Enhancements to the mix, allowing you to support a full Inquisitorial force with no limitations on the number of u

"One Unbreakable Shield Against The Coming Darkness"

So last night I sat down to organize my Grey Knight Terminators to see how many more I needed to make my Brotherhood Terminators 10 man......cause why not. There are 2 squads that have 8 men, 2 squads have 7 and the last 2 have 6 men. I have 2 unopened boxes of terminators so another 2 more would allow me to max out the 6 squads with Apothecaries and Ancients I could then add ancients to my Paladin squads. Below is my Terminator Armor 2nd Brotherhood. (Not Shown is Variant Grandmast

"We fight for the Imperium, not our souls!"

As the threat of Combat Patrol against my kids looms ever so closer, the more I feel the pull towards my Grey Knights. I have lots of little side projects for them including more banner bearers and increasing squad size. Plus all the vehicles I have for them Plus getting some of the servants from Skaventide to add to my Inquisition. I think I may have to revisit my Kill Team and I am hoping for a codex soon....

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

Adepta Sororitas

"A Heretic may see the truth and seek redemption."

So after going through my Models the other day I have 3 built Penitent Engines, 1 built Mortifier, an unopened Penitent Engine/ Mortifier box, 6 Arco Flagellants, 17 Repentia, 2 Repentia Superiors, and both Blackstone Fortress Priests, plus a custom one. So enough for a Penitent Host Detachment. I need to get a few more models to round it out (I would like more Arco Flagellants) and want to convert multi piece Canoness into a "Repentia Canoness/ Palatine"

Adepta Sororitas

The absence of faith is the mark of the weak.

As much as I love Horus Heresy and Necromunda, 40k is what got me into the hobby, along with my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight convincing me to play, was the cool armor of the Space Marines. As I began the journey of 40k, I found Sisters of Battle and I was hooked.....1997 seems so long ago...it was too. Fast forward to now. Like many of us, I not happy with 10th Ed of 40k, for various reasons. With the drop of the Space Marines and losing all my battleline, since I played all Phobos

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- 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
