    Jagieŀŀo inspects their prizes

    By GSCUprising

    The Resistance have finally captured the war machines they believe they require to make their stand.   Brutus, the Malcador, reliable, dependable the spine of their battleline. She will not fail them. She will hold the line, her battlecannon roaring, her sponsons blazing as she paves the way for the Resistance's advance. The Iron Duke, his twin Earthshaker cannons blasting holes in the enemy's fortifications. He guards those retreating and the wounded behind his massive blast shield

    XIVth Legion build

    By W.A.Rorie

    So am I back from Indiana. I have to head back to move In-Laws into a Retirement Center, in a few weeks. And of course everything goes sideways at work moment I get back. So hobby time has been non existence. Silver Lining is LGS not get Saturnine until Monday, so I can get everything I need to do first i.e. my XIXth Legion and Exorcists  Call to Arms Vows, that I have not started. And won't have time this weekend.   I did start on building one of My XIVth Legion Commanders, not sure w

    Wrapping Wreckas

    By zulu.tango

    Hit the throttle on the Wreckas last week. I've been painting pretty slowly this year all things considered, decided to change that with this project. Finished up free-hand on a few items, got the squigs painted up, did the bases and oil washes last week resulting in a final project I'm pretty happy with!    I dug out some of the leftover terrain bits I had from the sector imperialis/Chalnath terrain. I put a fine terrain paste around those bits and then put in some sand to act as larg

    Hi Folks,   Today’s blog entry is a little bit specific as it deals with something different from my usual inputs: instead of reporting hobbying progress, I will talk about a trail I did for a new technique (à la TITH – i.e. something that is not new in general but new for me).     The technique is often reported on purpose of adding details and create battle damages or war-torn marks on miniatures. But beyond painting damages, the sponge might be used on purpose of

54th Psian Jackals Part 3

It has been a few weeks since I have touched my 54th Psian Jackals and have been focused on my Exorcists Chapter of Adeptus Astartes. Well that is gonna have to change this weekend.      Tempestus Aquilions will be acquired this weekend.  Unfortunately I won't get much time to work on them due to working extra shifts at work.    Yesterday the rules for the Aquilions were released for 40k       and of course Datasheets

Long time no Blog...

Oof, not done one of these for a while have I?   Well, life goes on but I'm still here and still hobbying.    My last blog post was in April 2023, just prior to Warhammer Fest in Manchester, and the main topic of that post was the possibility of Epic making a return, and if it did return, how it would work and what the setting would be etc. Lo and behold they did announce it at WH fest, or tease it to be more accurate. Fast forward to today and Legion Imperialis is here and s

Chat Gpts initial thoughts

Chat Gpts initial thoughts.

Out of interest I asked chat gpt what a conference would look like. A lot of what it said is very similar to what I was thinking. Either ny thoughts are generic or perhaps it scraped it from my post.    Some of the stuff I definitely wasn't thinking. Merchandise for example is not something I was thinking about. If I do approach the people who run the site they might consider it, but it's not something I'm going to touch    I'd love to know what people think. I'm not too expe

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

Ashen Sentinels - campaigning on Rostokhar III

Next month sees the culmination of about a year's worth of planning and preparation, as well as a few more months working on the Ashen Sentinels: at my local gaming group, we're starting a narrative-driven 40k Campaign - 'The Forge of Silence'!      Along with friends, I've been putting together the source book that details the background story and how the campaign will work. I previously shared some of the photography a member of our group did - I was able to include quite

Initial thoughts

I've seen mention of an online Academic conference. It might be nice to have a Bolter and Chainsword conference. We could have participants from the various different boards give a live discussion, possibly followed by a question and answer afterwards. It would be nice to see people here and talk to them, rather than go off text posts.  Obviously at this stage I should point out that this is my idea. I havent run it by anyone in charge of the site. It does not bear the Bolter and Chainsword impr

Belligerents of Badab

Belligerents of Badab - Howling Griffon

BELLIGERENTS of BADAB HOWLING GRIFFONS One wound of many.   So, I'm not painting a lot of Space Marines these days, between my Tau Crusade Army and fun I've been having over in BFG. That didn't seem right. Now, I can't commit to a major project, but I can certainly muck around with single models, right? So begins BELLIGERENTS of BADAAAAAAAAAAB!!   The crowd goes wild.   Wanted to start out with something fiddly, so I've knocked out a Howling Griffon.

Kill Team: Hivestorm pt 2

So all the new KT boxes comes with tokens....     I wonder who will have good acrylic ones?   So 12 days to go and here is last nights progress     Scouts primed and one model I was able to get the Silver Rub and Buff on the Armor. Only 11 more to go. Also when I was at the LGS one of the paints I need was Bugman's Glow.....and did not get it.

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.

Brothers of the Mark - The Fleet & Scheme Adjustment

BROTHERS OF THE MARK THE FLEET The brutal, hungry core of a fleet fallen to the ruinous powers.   So, I last worked on my little fleet back in June, when I painted up a test cruiser. I had planned to churn through the remaining over-a-dozen ships, before being entirely swallowed up by the 2024 Call to Arms! Glad I was, too. That was delightful, and gave me some distance to rework the fleet when I came back to it... Like a week and a half ago. I, uh... May have painted a

Standard Battle Mission pack 30k

Good evening   I've been working on a mission pack for a little while now that can be used for standalone play. It has a few quirks and is a set of quite simple but thematic missions for casual play. This is just the first of many packs I'll be making. The bones are 3ed missions with some tweaking to take advantage of 2,0 special rules   Direct Link https://archive.org/details/standard-missions-v-1_202409   Embed in the post ( Hopefully!)   Please let

Greymanes

Greymanes Hellblaster

This one is so-so, in my opinion. The face came out better than expected, despite my struggles with the ancient Blood Claw sculpt I affixed to the model many moons ago. I couldn't quite tell where the face ended and the hair began. However, the plasma glow and the patchy metallics leave something to be desired. That said, I haven't painted a Space Marine in a few weeks, so it's to be expected.

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

Orks in the Age of Darkness

Where to go with 40k?

(Wherein the author discovers that the Horus Heresy ruleset is more to his liking, even if Orks aren't officially supported)   So, earlier this year, around January, I came to the realization that I was burnt out on keeping up with the Space Marine releases. The more that came out, the less I wanted to have anything to do with them; I was just buying them to have. I also admitted to myself that I didn't really like the lore changes that GW's team were applying to the game - this isn't
Necromunda Co-op Game

The first episode of our Necromunda co-op/roleplay

So, I've been working on a set of rules for co-operative play for some time now (and have actually played a succesful mini-campaign some time ago, where a group of Imperial Guard veterans where sent to investigate a mysteriously quiet space station, but that's another story...). The core rules seem to work pretty well, so now I've moved on to the next step: creating "campaign packs" that allow for story-based campaigns based around randomly generated scenarios. Last weekend, we got out first g

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

30k Mechanicus expanded units

Hello   I've finally dusted off a project I started working on in7th ed 40k which was porting various 40k mechanicus units into 30k.   This if the first batch and working wip for the cult mechanicus side of things, I will be doing the Skitarii units as well. Currently the idea is these units simply add to the existing Mechanicum list but I've also drafted a separate detachment that will solely focus on the 40k units representing the more militaristic and regular mechanicum fi

Ride Eternal - Shiny and Chrome

August sure did fly by.  I'd intended about being more diligent about maintaining this blog alongside the progress of this project. However between work and family life being chaos as summer drew to a close I barely had enough time to finish this project, let alone effectively document its progress. As such this is going to be a behemoth of a post, though I'm going to keep the text down and try and let the pictures do most of the talking.  From cloth to chrome - the hardest part of this pai

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
