About this blog

Yes, the name is boring (I'm bad at naming things:sweat:). 

 

This is my attempt to keep myself on task with the hobby and showcase projects without having to create a new WIP thread for each one. 

 

For those of you familiar with my projects in the barracks and forge I intend to keep both of those updated as I post here as well. 

 

My intention is that by having everything all in one place I can help combat the absolutely glacial pace of my updates to the B&C. 

 

Armies to expect: 

  • Imperial Guard
  • Imperial Militia
  • Inquisition
  • Space Marines (40K)
  • Iron Hands (30K)
  • Alpha Legion (30K)
  • Necrons (maybe)
  • Whatever other madness or project I dream up between writing this and when you see it on the blog 

 

So without further ado.....

Swords of Fire

Space Marine Honour Guard

Something a little different this time.    I decided I would kitbash some Honour Guard for the Swords of Fire (my homebrew IH successors). I have 10 Honour Guard based off the old Sanguinary Guard kit so I decided to do something different this time around and use the 30K MVI Command Squad with an assortment of veteran parts from my bits box.  Here's the initial progress picture with more to come:     The sheathed sword on the Chapter Ancient is from the old Ster

Krieg Commissars

I managed to pick up the Krieg Commissar kit from GW (I wanted to get it before new plastics come along). These are probably the cleanest FW sculpts I've ever gotten:      I'm thinking I'll put the tank commander in a Demolisher with a dozer blade, melta sponsons, a lascannon, and a heavy stubber (for good measure) as a linebreaker to hold the advancing infantry together. 
Solar Auxilia

Solar Auxilia Lord Marshal

I have managed to get a little bit more painting done for the Lord Marshal of my Burgeoning Solar Auxilia force:      The body is Anvil's gothic void suit commander while the head is from the command upgrade sprue for gothic void suits.    The hammer is from the old Coteaz kit.  
Varantis

Jetbike Standard Bearer

I have gotten a bit more progress done on the jetbike command squad:      The torso is the MK 3 IH one from FW, the combat shield is from the (now OOP) assault squad for 40K and the banner is from the old Cadian Command Squad (with the decals shaved off and a brass road as a banner pole) the hand for the banner is from the 40K marine tank gunner arms with a hole drilled through, and it is attached to the arm from the jetbike squad. 
Varantis

Iron Hands Predator

I gave started work on a predator for my Iron Hands:      When I bought this it was the only plastic Predator available but I also like the more square aesthetic (particularly with the IG dozer blade). 
Varantis

Iron Hands Jetbikes

A bit more progress on the jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands:      Two bikes are already fully assembled with their riders (one with power maul, the other with power fist).  These three (and the one I have finished since taking the photo) will be the praetor, the standard bearer and 2 chosen. 
53rd Army Group

Autocannon Completion

I have finished off the fire support squad for the 479th:      With these guys done I have the following complete (bar basing):  1 Fire Support Heavy Weapons Squad 1 Infantry Squad  1 Leman Russ Battle Tank    I have 10 combat engineers/hardened veterans and 4 officers (including a quartermaster) all from anvil which are in the process of being painted.    Still to be primed are:  1 Command HQ (FW)  1 Platoon HQ and Master of Ordna
Solar Auxilia

Solar Auxilia Leman Russ Vanquisher

I have completed the Leman Russ Vanquisher for my burgeoning Solar Auxilia force:      This is a really nice kit, it goes together very smoothly and the rivets and other details (like the vertical movement on the hull gun) really make it stand out as a 30k era vehicle. I have magnetised the hull lascannon so I can swap it for an autocannon if I feel like it, and the gunner's head is a "gothic void helmet" from Anvil Industry. I prefer the look of the Anvil helmets to the GW

Krieg Autocannons

A bit more progress on the Krieg, I have managed to get some paint onto this autocannon squad from Anvil:      These are a really nice kit, sharp details but not too busy (which helps for guard infantry) and the customisation options from Anvil are really great. 
Solar Auxilia

Solar Auxilia Leman Russ

I couldn't resist picking up the new Solar Auxilia Leman Russ when it came out in plastic (plus I will be able to see how compatible the Anvil Gothic Void heads are with SA plastic bodies):      It is a bit further along than this but I don't have any photos.    I really like the build experience so far, everything slots together so neatly which is nice. I will be making this one a Vanquisher but will also magnetise the hull weapons for a bit of flexibility. 
Varantis

Iron Hands Tanks

I have finished off painting the Land raider phobos for my Cataphractii Terminators:    I have also made a start on the Sicaran Battle Tank:    Once these are done, I will move onto the Predator and the remaining Rhino before tackling the infantry (some of whom are fully painted). 
Varantis

Land Raider Progress

I have managed to get some painting done and the Land Raider for my Cataphractii terminators is done (at least for the moment while I move on to more pressing pieces of the pile of shame):   
53rd Army Group

53rd Army Group

I have bits of background for my Imperial Guard project scattered throughout my WIP thread in the barracks so I figured I should put it all in one place; so here goes:    Army group numerical designation: 53 Officer Commanding: Lord General Matthias Fischer Commissariat supervision: Lord Commissars Bane and Helgen. Operational Strength: Less than 1%   Composite Units: Cadian 1st Infantry Regiment "The Sentinels" Cadian 223rd Artillery Regiment
Swords of Fire

Primaris Champion

I finally got around to assembling the Primaris Champion I picked up when it went MTO:      This was a very easy assembly as the model is push fit, I only needed plastic glue for where the two right arm parts meet. I'm not really playing 40k at the moment so this is more just a painting project and collection piece. 
Militia

Another Sentinel

I have begun work on a second sentinel for the militia, this one will also have a converted multimelta:      In terms of aesthetics I actually prefer the look of this one for heresy than the old sentinel, I'm not really sure why it just feels more appropriate for militia. 
53rd Army Group

Senior Officer

I have completed building the mini for Lord General Matthias Fischer, the commander of the 53rd Army Group:   Parts wise he is mostly the standard Castellan with the sheathed power sword from the Cadian Command Squad and the addition of a patrician cloak from Anvil Industry's regiments range. I just need to decide on a paint scheme and build a command squad to accompany him (possibly based on the rogue trader voidsmen). 
Militia

Baneblade Completion

I have finally managed to finish off the Baneblade for the militia.   In the end there weren't as many gaps as anticipated and it was overall pretty painless after the side scaffolding was done.   
Militia

Militia Baneblade

I am slowly working my way through a baneblade for the militia:      There are plenty of gaps to be filled on this but nothing a little greenstuff won't handle. The downside of this being an older kit is that the parts don't fit as snugly as they would on newer kit. 
53rd Army Group

Clean Up

A very brief update (The Old World has been taking most of my attention).    I got some psykers and servitors stripped of their old paintjobs and ready for cleaning.      The psykers will be used as primaris psykers or astropaths as needed, I've not got enough to field the psyker battle squad.    The gun servitors will be added to inquisitorial retinues while the tech servitors will accompany the enginseer. 
Swords of Fire

Terminator magnetisation

I have been working on a squad of the new multipart terminators (absolutely fantastic sculpts) and have gotten all the magnetising complete:      In total I have magnetised the cyclone missile launcher, the stormbolter, assault cannon, and heavy flamer for the gunner, and the power sword and power fist for the sergeant. 
Varantis

Iron Hands Land Raider

I have managed to get a bit of painting done on a Land Raider Phobos to cart around my cataphractii terminators:      I like the aesthetic of this tank and it goes really well with the Mars pattern rhino chassis vehicles I have for my Iron Hands, but it is an old kit and it shows during assembly. With the Proteus now in plastic I might get one of those for the Gorgons.
