    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

    By Bouargh

    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

    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

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.

Some Notes on Greymanes Tactics and Organization

General Tactics Though each Fyrd has its own preferred ways of war, the Greymanes hew generally to two tactical philosophies. The first is deemed the Fragarach (literally 'Unswerving Sword'), wherein Greymanes forces will attempt to rout the enemy force through simultaneous, violent attacks on command and control elements, or failing that, the largest concentration of troops. On the defensive, however, they dig their heels in, seeking to attrite their foes through the inborn toughness of

Corsair Unit

Just finished up this unit using nothing smaller than a ) brush. It's tabletop ready and replaces a similar unit.   Maybe one day I'll clean up some things I didn't notice until after the photos.   The guy above is definitely going to get some attention.

As inevitable as the (Green) Tide

A small update to help remind myself that progress has indeed been made.  Life has continued to be life, and while I've made some time for da boyz, they are many and batch-painting means that progress feels slow. Since the last post I've moved from cloth to what will be the non-khrome metalic portions, put in time on the scales/hides/furs, gotten a first pass on all bones/nails/teeth and continued pick up belts/pouches/bands that I missed on the last go-round. Initially I used the same base c

A look in the Rear Mirror - A comparison between releases from last 2 KT seasons

Hi folks,   As we are at dawn of a new season for KT, it is eventually interesting taken a rear-view mirror into the past 2 seasons. Indeed, they have been quite commented due to their differences, at least in some circles where I evolve. General comments, hot and lives, tended to underline a degradation of the delivered content once comparing the Bheta-Decima Season with the Gallow Dark one. Let´s see if it fits.   KT as it looked in Gallow Dark   First r

Call to arms- I month gone

I month down  and 2 more to go. Still managed to get a fair bit done in the last 2 weeks:     I finished both tidewall components, a Cadre Fireblade and a squad of breachers, as well as their drone turret and a recon drone for the upcoming Pathfinders, which is when I realised that I hadn't allowed for drones in my original pledge! Not sure if the drone port drones should count for seperate points, but at least iwth these other two that takes my target total up to 120pts. Th

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

Intermission 2 (WIPs)

Nothing very fancy from me today, just a potato cam images of some WIPS.   Two Khymaran Veterans. I might even finish them at some point. These are deliberately rough as a badger's chuff, and I'm a little fed up with myself, since despite practice, I just couldn't get the battenberg shoulder scheme down. In the end I settled for a mixed veg melange of red and yellow as their pauldrons would be if they were in normal livery.   The pic robs the guy on the right of his MK VII-es

Greymanes

Infernus Druht

Elements of a Infernus Druht, unknown Fyrd, Greymanes chapter.   The totemic maul on the leftmost line-brother's shoulderpad represents service at the Defense of Rymr. Though contrary to the expectations of the Hearthspake, the Greymanes arrived unlooked-for to assist the Votann of that world in battle against Chaos marauders. A fierce battle, but ultimately a victorious one for the Fyrds gathered there.

Da Clothy Bits

Been a couple of weeks since my last post. Progress has felt slow, but in gathering up the pictures for this post I've realized how much I've actually accomplished Whenever I'm painting orks, I always like to keep in mind that unlike most other factions, Orks don't have a "uniform". To that point, whenever I'm painting up a group of them I always want to make sure that their pants/belts/bags/bands/etc don't match across the group. There can be overlap obviously, but there isn't a manufac

Hobby Update

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

Ky'Vash Recon Cadre - Piranha Skimmer

KY'VASH RECON CADRE PIRANHA SKIMMER TX4 'Piranha' Skimmer.   Despite being an older design, the TX4 Piranha has remained in constant service within the T'au military since the time of the Second Sphere Expansion. A light, but combat-capable grav-speeder, it serves as an all-terrain scout and harasser, often in support of Stealthsuit and Pathfinder teams. Ky'Vash forces most often field the Piranha with a hull-mounted fusion blaster for tank-hunting, though it is unsuitab

KY'VASH RECON CADRE CADRE FIREBLADE Cadre Fireblade Shas'el Yr'anto.   Not all warriors of the Fire Caste seek to don the 'Mantle of the Hero' - a T'au Battlesuit - once their time amongst the infantry has come to an end. Those with the aptitude and inclination may instead remain on foot, leading the bulk of T'au military forces in up-armoured, quasi-powered armour based on the standard Firewarrior raiment. Such warriors are - usually, though not always - limited to the

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
