    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

    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

    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

Greymanes

Abrecan Inwyt, Chief Librarian of the Greymanes

Chief Librarian Abrecan Inwyt. At first a veteran Greyshield slated for joining his primogenitor in the Vlka Fenryka, he appealed to Lord-Regent Guilliman for reassignment to one of their burgeoning Ultima Foundjng Successors, the Greymanes. This was out of a sense that he, a quiet, withdrawn (perhaps sensitive) soul, never could find solace in the storm-calling Casters of Runes. In the long time since, he has endured beyond the eye of the Imperium’s populace. Though occluded from their knowledg

Heresy, world building

One of my group got his Heresy army stolen so I have been busy helping him rebuild it sorry for the lack of entries on here. but....   I am working on concept and background for the main world our group is fighting over.    Praxia (Khymare, post heresy) Reconstructed during the great crusade by a expeditionary fleet of the 4th and 19th legion, The old world was a mining hub during the dark age of technology.

Imperial Reivers colour scheme update.

Chapter Scheme update!  Updated the paint scheme of my first born marines with a side by side comparison of the old (right) and new (left), to match my Priamaris marine colour schme. It was also a good test scheme in which to practice how I'm going to proceed with the scheme so I can actually get past the base coat stage of them.

Retainers of Russ: Dreadnoughts of the Greymanes Chapter

The proper name for the Dreadnoughts of the Greymanes is the Y-Gwasu o Blaidd-Tywysog (a phrase derived from the language families of the southerly Deep Valley). This phrase is rarely used around outsiders, for fear of its mythological and legendary references being inexplicable. The closest Low Gothic translation, however, denotes the high esteem the Greymanes hold their Dreadnoughts in. Indeed, it roughly means 'the retainers of the Wolf Prince', which speaks to the belief of the deified Russ

The Last Gesith Terminator (For Now) (WIP)

Lotta different stuff on this guy. For one, the fur is drybrushed, and the yellow on the chainfist casing is traditionally 'layered'. Additionally, I tried a version of a gold recipe suggested to me by @Bustaholic — VGC Copper with a TTC Sepia wash. Results look pretty good; I'm happy with it. There definitely was a huge 'ugly phase' to hack for the model as a whole, however. Especially the grey (no Greymanes without grey!) gave me challenges. Contrary to what I believed, Warpaints Fanatic De

Kill Team: Hivestrom pt 5

Well it is Sunday morning and I almost made it.....Hobby last week was rough and only had time on Friday and limited time Saturday.    I was able to knock out a huge chunk of base colors on Friday afternoon/ night:     I stopped as I was tired and was at the decal stage. Saturday morning I was able to decal them and Saturday night I was able to hit them with the Agrax Earthshade     Just some highlights, weathering, and basing,   Betwee

"A Walk In The Light Green" — Sgt. 'Bazza' Bruce (WIP)

Basecoating this fella. Banged the majority of him out in 1-2 hours, though there are still parts I need to do, such as his backpack and weapons.  Flesh recipe is Guilliman Flesh Contrast paint as the initial basecoat, with highlights of Two Thin Coats Dwarven Skin and Citadel Flayed One Flesh. Webbing and puttees are Zamesi Desert. I intend to wash these with Agrax or a Sepia wash I have coming in. The actual uniform is done to look more 'Chindit' than what Victoria's painters did, wit

Skullz Bolt Pistol repainted

A quick update as I've not been able to hobby as much as I would like recently (and when I have it's not 40k related). I've been painting up a model for Darren Latham's glow up challenge, so I've repainted a Black Reach marine (I'll post an update after the 6th). While setting that up, I found this bolt pistol keyring from the Skullz promotion from back in the year 2000, and though that would be a good one to do as well.  Stripped what paint was left on it (I had painted it and used it as a

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 - 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
