    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    By Bouargh

    Blog entries pass and sometimes look like very similar to some previous ones. It is one of the issues when dealing with army building on base of multiples buy outs of the same Patrol Box...   Yet we might eventually expect some variation if the models are fitted in different fashion, ain´t we?   The Onagre DuneCrawler as already been spoiled in the FOrums, but it has been the major progress of the past week so I will "proudly" republish it there. It is also an unhonorable  wa

    Dakota Minor Defence Corps (PDF)

    By Mike Zulu

    Introduction Like many established Imperium worlds, Dakota Minor has a planetary defence force simply known the Dakota Minor Defence Corps (or DMDC). Most of its number are conscripted from the local population; a small number of citizens willingly join to escape the tedium of farm life that is prevalent on Dakota Minor. The DMDC is organised in a manner similar to Astra Militarum regiments, albeit more limited in their makeup. For the most part, it consists of dozens of infantry battalions

Tournament AAR: Gamer's Guild RTT 8/12

Record: 1-2 (LWL) Placing: #13 (out of 21)   Summary My opponents were two Orks and an Imperial Knight, in that order. I split with the Orks and dropped the IK game. The major takeaways for me are that I need to work on "Player-Placed Terrain" and deployment. Ignoring my win, I think I did not place my terrain well enough to protect my most important units and/or allow me to get out onto objectives early. Against the first Ork player, I fell behind on primary early, which was

Call to Arms: Week 6

Week 6 of Call to Arms has come and gone, and if my maths is correct, this is the half way point!   This week I technically didn't get that much painting done, but I finished stuff, like these Von Ryan's Leapers: I tried to have a transition going on with the top most scything talons, and it sort of worked, well, worked enough that I set about trying it again on this fella: Can't see it at this angle but I darkened (with extra layers of Leviathan purple) the point

First 1,000 Pt Games

First game of 10th Edition!!!   Note: This was played before some clarifications were made, so Demo Charges are one time use, the 3” ambush nerf wasn’t in effect yet, and I was playing the Nexos as being able to use the 2 CP strat for free (oops!).   I took a very basic list, mostly the contents of the Boarding Party and Combat Patrol, adding in a Ridgerunner, Nexos, and Biophagus for spice.   Neophytes x20 (Mining Laser, Grenade Launcher, Banner) --Nexus --Prim

Background, lore & 'fluff'

What's in a name..?

While you can find some painting updates in my painting log over in the Works in Progress forum, I'm currently working on a piece that will set out some of the background of the Ashen Sentinels - but before I post that I just wanted to write a little about my process and 'inspiration' for choosing names when I'm doing this.    For the names I've chosen for some of the Chapter's Captains, my starting point has been some local history. My home county is Suffolk, which has a few castles s

Call to Arms: Week 5

A quick update this week!   Last week was spent working on batches of Termagaunts and a couple of Barbagaunts, and this week....I spent working on the last batches of Termagaunts and Barbagaunts!   The 3rd batch begins:   By now, everything is running like clockwork on these, so within a day, I had them at this point: and then the 4th batch from here: to here:   By the end, It took me two sessions (roughly 1 hour a session

Legion land raider proteus

Hey all so I have an update, just finished priming my very first land raider proteus and I had a lot of fun building it and getting it ready for when my paints and brushes show up.  Here’s a quick picture of it and in the wings I’m working on a spartan, but I have set myself the goal of building it then waiting to get it started until I’m happy with the land raider.

The start of a journey

Hello all, well just a quick back story, a year ago I exclaimed to my loving wife that I was done with the hobby of warhammer I wasn’t enjoying myself and I had become fed up with it all, so I sold my entire collection of models paints brushes and pallets, and for a year I was very content ignoring the hobby, but slowly ever so slowly I got that itch to look at models and think man those are cool and what not, so after a trip to the UK I went into a games-workshop on a whim in the city of Glasgo

First 1,000 Pt Lists

Now that I have a solid base of models assembled and painted, it’s time to enter the dojo!   I’ll be starting out at 1,000 pts, understanding that lower point levels do tend to warp the balance of the game. Not to mention I am fairly restricted by model collection, so no waves of 6 units of 20 Neophytes, sorry. Also, given the way that Cult Ambush works, I suspect that this ability could be abused to really warp balance in favor of GSC at lower points, as at 1000 pts most armies just h

Call to Arms: Week 4

Week 4 has come and gone, so what did I do? Paint gaunts.   It took one session to complete the 1st batch (of 5 Termagaunts and 1 Barbagaunt) from where I left them last week: So with reckless abandon, I started the next batch straight away   There was nothing new that happened with the 2nd batch other than deciding to do two Barbagaunts now instead of later. I spent a lot of time going around and fixing mistakes where I found them, trying to eradicate white g

MIlitia Lineup

I brought the full militia collection out last weekend.    With the 2.0 changes the force needs a bit of an overhaul and it was easy to figure out once it was all laid out in front of me.    I've removed the plasma guns from my grenadiers and swapped them for volkite culverins.    I need to fill out the command cadre now that they can't all have heavy stubbers.    I have five of the old metal stormtroopers which I might use as either part of a lasrifle com

Picking an Initial Color Scheme

Before starting any new army or project, I highly recommend that you approach it with a paint scheme already in mind. I feel that this goes double for GSC, where you have a large amount of highly detailed models that you need to speed paint your way through, lest you get bogged down by the hobby gremlins. This goes double for non-hobbyists like myself who paint at a glacial rate. Seriously, it's embarrassing.    As you all can probably tell from the blog title, I decided to base my Gen

So this entry is a revision of the lore of the consuls slight changes but important.     Created during the 4th founding the chapter was created to reunite and mentor the damaged remnants of the imperial navy thought to be lost following the War of the beast. Reestablishing order and stability among the abandon forces of the fragmented Navis Imperialis, and reconnecting lost worlds with the rest of the imperium of man.    After their homeworld of vigiltus was ravaged by

Call to Arms: Week 3

Another week gone, another week bites the dust! You get the idea...   In some sense, I didn't get too much done, but in another, I got a bit done!   From my last blog post, I started the week by continuing with the Neurogaunts and Ripper Swarms:   At this point, all their base colours were done, which meant time for fun with drybrushing! Here, I pressed ahead with the Ripper swarm and got them finished. The Neurogaunts also had their flesh drybrushe

Call to Arms Progress

Man its been a slow start but hopefully I'll pick up steam now. Was hoping to be done my first pledge by now but life always finds a way.  Anyway I'm fairly new to the world of contrast paints having only used Flesh Tearers red before but decided to try a new recipe for House Mortimer that included a really nice yellow (sorry as a Alpha Legion guy I can not say the name of this paint) and a purple I honestly forgot the name of but it is quite dark and nice.  Also I'm not much of a army painter s
