    AdMech Patrol #2 - Progress report

    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

Armiger Talon Intermission

Lil big knights!  368698878_10161052381015797_2401397191367279107_n  As a bit of an intermission, our group is doing a throwback to our classic apocalypse games with a 30k, 30k game and after a weekend with a horde adjacent Anathema army i really wanted to run something Elite, and aint nothing more elite than Knights with Custodes allies! Both forces having barely seen table time all together, essentially being allies and addons to myriad other forces over the years (Especially the Red King!)

A strange observation...

I am deep into painting the next three squads - and Lieutenant - for this Boarding Patrol; I've now finished highlighting the armour, so now I'm painting the undersuits.    Rather than talk about that (not massively exciting ), I thought I'd share an observation about how washes seem to work differently on miniatures with a different pose. When I had base-coated the Hellblasters and Lieutenant, after I gave them a wash of my, uhh, custom wash  I felt that - for whatever reason - the ar

Like a painter in the wind

Since all the plans for this week end have been affected by the Ciaran storm, what can I do nbut stay at home and wait for the wind to fall? Which leaves some time for painting some stuff.   The prep for the Kataphron ended with the track units assemblied and wainting for their first dry brushing (boltgun metal on tracks). But the bases are done. The sad aspect of these bases is that I clipped some skulls from CSM bitz in order to use them as scenic alements, but I completly forgot usi

Leviathan Librarian into...

So, I know I said my next blog post would be looking at my plans for my Canis Rex counts-as…   …but, I was looking at the sprue for the Terminator Librarian and trying to think how I was going to modify it to make it my own (I just don't like leaving stuff without any kind of conversion!) Anyway, sudden inspiration struck! This model:     …is an old favourite of mine. It's a bit dated in terms of scale and proportions, but the character of it is just so cool. So, I

Painting my AdMech Combat Patrol - Planning stage and first moves

Now that my Patrol box has been delivered, it is time to plan for the painting.   There are 4 units to be scheduled and designed, and I will start by the one that will be painted last: Skitarii. Why would I keep it for the last may you ask? Well, mainly because I wish I could have an eye on the AdMech Codex before closing my choices. I do not necesary expect changes but it might be that the Battle line units undergo some adjustments vs. the Index. Afterall, I did not expect any ch

Saracen's Tau vs Tyriks' Necrons (1000 pts)

I got in another game this weekend with Tyriks and remembered to take pictures this time. We decided to play 1000 points again because we're still getting back into 40k since a long pause during 9th and a shorter break between the start of 10th and now due to life being chaotic. The lists are in the comments below this Batrep Post to keep the clutter down.   Tyriks graciously set up the table for us after drawing a random deployment card, which was Crucible Of Battle or diagonal deploy

! Breaking news ! - Delivery completed (at least, it took a while)

Since the day I passed my order on the website of a FLGS, a lot of water has flown from the mountains to the sea. Let´s do the maths yourself: Order passed on July 24th and AdMech Patrol Box received on September 26th (last Tuesday). What went wrong would you ask?   First we might need a small step back in time, just to reset the context: I did not want this Patrol box. Not really. Not as much as I wanted the Extermination Maniple left on shelves of the e-FLGS. But the discount on

The Swarmlord

I haven't had much time for hobby lately, and I spent most of that time building. But I did get some time to work on my Swarmlord (which I may be using as a Hive Tyrant on foot, but the Swarmlord looks cooler so I went for that). Side note - the new Hormagaunts are SO MUCH BETTER than the old ones. I remember spending more time cleaning mold lines than everything else combined when I built them back in 4th/5th.  I also have (I think) a handle on how I want to go about the background for my fleet

A little more fun with numbers - Vulkan He'stan

I've been looking again at the Firestorm list in the previous entry, and I can't quite decide whether to stick with my Captain, or use the same 100 points and count him as Vulkan? (The mini is armed with a sword, shield and holstered pistol, but I can easily say he's also hiding a Pyreblaster under his cloak to count as the Gauntlet!)   Captain 80pts Heavy Bolt Pistol, MC Power Sword, Relic Shield +Enhancement: Adamantine Mantle 20pts -Or- Vulkan He'stan 100pts   Join

40k Pile of Shame Updated - Where has everything gone???

My journey through my 40k Pile of Shame has been a years long travel, and it looks like it reaches to an end. Well, in reality it is likely to be a endless trip as some new projects still can join the frey and postpone this day of celebration AND mourning where I will be left without anything to Paint/Assemble/convert and/or slash... (I am btw still waiting for my AdMech Patrol since July 24th...)   If we step back a little bit a few years ago, everything was resumed with the Lock-down

Battle Report: Crusade - Jabberwocky v Daemons

Long time no post! I've been organising a crusade campaign at my local club, and members have gotten really into it, with plenty of games occurring each week, and using the Leviathan campaign rules and supplement.    This month, after an imperial win in month 1, the nids are on the back foot as the imperials take the fight to the swarm. The Chaos raiders are doing some looting and pillaging, and the imperial archive worlds are under assault from both material and immaterial enemies.

Kataphrons completed

After a few days away I finally completed the final steps of assembly of my 2 Kataphons´ Units from my Extermination Maniple - one Destroyer and one Breacher.   The Breachers scheme is finally not as convincing as I initially thought. Getting armour plates reds and tracks grey makes that the visual impact of the armour is a little bit too present I feel. On the other hand they are quite in synthony with the rest of the army, especially the Priests and Robots, but I do feel lak there is

Beginnings - Into the Maelstrom

Much as I love the new Primaris models, there's just something about the classic pre-8th Space Marines and the kitbashing of said models that really hits a nostalgia nerve for me. So I wanted a project that didn't feel redundant in the modern game of 40K, but also steers clear of being Heresy. The answer is obviously to step back to 5th/6th Edition and the coolest internecine conflict the Imperium has ever seen, the Badab War!   The aim is to use a bit of modern third-party product in

Fun with numbers! (List building)

I'm really happy with how my Celebrants army is progressing. I'm not that bothered about list building in general and don't play very often anyway, but I do quite like having something to work towards? Therefore, I've worked out a new list (using the updated Munitorum Field Manual points as per what was revealed in the latest Goonhammer article):     So, 4 Characters, 5 Vehicles, 5 squads. It's not intended to be mega-competitive, just a fun list that should hopefully do ok?

Hive Fleet TBD

Screamer Killer

So, after several months and a handful of terrible looking models on my desk, I think I have settled on a scheme for Hive Fleet TBD. That's about the only thing I have settled on, though. No name, no fluff, no idea how to base. I am not in much of a hurry, though. I want to take my time and just paint for the sake of painting more than trying to finish a list. That always leads me to make stupid mistakes.

Going back to my New Year / New Army Project (sort of)

While summer was passing by, I spent most of my time painting for the Call to Arm 2023 Challenge, tooking the opportunity of it to repaint oldies, paint Aeldarii left in a box for almost 20 years and an even older Squat trike.   Spent the summer painting, AND waiting for delivery of some ordered goods for my Admech Army. First an ooP Extermination Maniple, left forgotten in a remote FLGS. This box was supposed to be completed by a Combat Patrol; but it never showed off. It is still lis

So the Blood Angel 1st company "Archangels" train is moving forward.  Some parts ordered and just need to pick up 2 boxes of the Blood Angels Assault terminators for bits and weapons. Eventually I will get some new Terminators, Chaplain Terminator and Brutulis Dreadnought.   Did grab a Leviathan Terminator Sgt to make into a Terminator Ancient and Sanguinary Guard weapons.     Single Axe blade will be going to Librarian, and the Fancy handguard sword is for Termina

Call to Arms 2023 - Closing pictures

As the Call to Arms 2023 Challenge is getting close to its end, I will share here some family portraits of my contributions.   In the Xenos Stronghold - running for Aeldari Forum - A Saim Hann War Host.         Except the Wraithlord (Edit) and the red WS that have been painted prior to the Challenge but that I cannot leave away from their amtes, all the models have been painted in 2 distinct vows.

I am quite satisfied having been able to close my third vow in the Imperium Stronghold before the bbell toll of Sept. 30th.   Here bellow are my last 2 pieces of enlisted units and scenery: - a barricade made of sand bags - an outpost made from proxy Munitorum container (Rescued from a old (broken) toy found in the attic of Grandpa and Grandma)     With some views of the outpost:     I still have some of these plastic sandbags, but I w
