    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

    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

    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

    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

Space Hulk

A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.

I have started this project multiple times in the past.  Collecting Genestealers, putting together terminators and more.  But usually I would complicate the idea so much that it would get to be to much for me, and time or attention span would not be up to the task. This time I decided on a couple of quick rules.     Keep the list as simple as possible I would get lost in magnatizing the marines, or hand carving/building the Space Hulk terrain, and it would just take too lo

The Dengamar Strife Part 3: The Response

Hey guys!   I have more additions to the Dengamar Strife story/setting I'm building. Continuing on after the Dumir’s coup. We learn the Imperium's response:  I will be posting some character profiles over the coming days to fill in some of the back story of these characters. So expect to be seeing those, until then!

Blood Greys Part 2: Followers of the Blood

Hello Traitors and Villains    So If you have been following the lore of the Bloody Grey (if not click here ), you'll know that the Blood Grey were once known as The Grey Regulars. Their corruption happen at the hands of The Blood Speaker Cult (More lore click here ) the Cliffsnotes version is that The Bloodspeakers are a secret cult that has operated along time on the planet Dengamar Prime. Trying to influence Dengamar’s ruling houses, often through subtle means like dream implantatio

Skull Brethren Part 8: It's not hard, its just brain surgery

Hello guys! just a small update on my World Eaters... I bought it, it arrived monday but I haven't gotten my hands on proper until today. I'm not sure if this is my largest kit I have bought. I think my Tyrannofex is bigger, but this has been one of the harder builds I have done at least in recent memory. The lower torso, the place where are the legs attach was difficult for me. If anyone asks, I'm going to say the World Eaters build this one, and they are not known for the engineerin

Canticle of Absolution   I'm tired....It has a been a long rough week in the real world. I barely had to time hobby, between tons of work issues and little bit of home life drama. I am drained. I have been pushing myself hard this week at work.

"It’s not a bike, it’s a chopper baby”

Hi folks,   After compiling a series of mugshots (or almost) of some of the terrain I own vs. the new teased terrain area templates for 11th, this whole stuff made me dive again into some of the previous iterations of terrain rules in 40k.   I am playing since 1st Ed. Yet I do not own every rule or campaign book and, in the past decade, my gaming rate decreased significantly. What I can share is basically a partial and naturally biased view of my past experiences (or what I

New edition, new army...maybe?

So with the dawn of 11th edition Warhammer 40,000 coming this June. I have been pondering about maybe starting a new project. My Tyranids are basically done, I probably won't be adding more unless there's some drastic changes. My Space Marines and World Eaters are in playable states, they might get some additional stuff but I'm in no rush to complete them fully. My traitor guard are kinda in a holding pattern state. I ordered some non GW traitor guard infantry from game found (similar to Kicksta

I’ve been in a hobby slump, and that’s ok.

Greetings Fraters, this is a different sort of update from me - it’s an update of, well, very little or no progress. Basically, I’ve struggled with my motivation to paint over the last month-to-six weeks.    There are a few reasons for this; the biggest is that we had a bereavement in the family a couple of months ago. We lost a very close family member following a long and determined fight against cancer; so it was a loss that was expected, but nonetheless difficult. Honestly, if anyone

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part III

Hi Folks,   And what about homemade terrain? I have started talking about it there:   In general anything special and personnal (in terms of scenery) will require being able to adapt oneself, find new solutions by proposing taylor made templates… an example bellow is my elevated road; it requires 3 large rectangle templates. Very specific? May be, unless we will require adapting ourselves to this new rule setting. But does it needs to be depicted as a terrain? Maybe rules wi

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part II

Hi Folks,   This is the second entry related to the topic. First can be found here:     1.      Vertigus, Bheta-Decima and Charadon – Mechanicus sector like stuff Generally speaking all items from these series will fit the templates. There are however some comments. First about gantries: if they fit the largest line, the amount of these is rather imited atm and as such the over representation of gantries will tend to disappear of be reduced. Unless it is comb

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part I

Hi Folks,   While I have had an insight on the potential impact of the teased terrain area templates shared by GW on WarCom (#New40k – Take cover with updated terrain rules) and in line with the rule changes for 11th, I kept on playing with my mobile phone and cardboard templates, just to see how my more “corporate” pieces of terrain fit in this whole perspective. Let’s have a look.   1.      Battle for Maccrage One of my favorite set. The crashed Aquilla lander was one

Trajectory control – Scenery project and new rules

Hi Folks,   What happens when your compass indicates that you are slowly drifting from your set course? You adjust your rudder… When it deals with scenery making, drifting is synonym of new rules for terrain features due to new edition.   But is it really a set of new rules? Shall we look at these with attention (on the basis of the extracts of info we got so far) it is not really that of a new thing: terrain area existed prior. It is more that the rules looks like they are

Starting to harbour some doubts

So, the other day I finally got out of a bit of a hobby slump (to be fair to myself, I'd been steadily, but very slowly, painting some Nurgle guys for AoS but mostly/only because I meet up with some friends once every week/fortnight and paint) and felt the urge to do something creative. So I found some styrofoam I had lying around as well as a ship I bought in the local thrift shop a couple of years ago, decided to build a harbour and got to work. I initially just placed the styrofoam sections i

Skull Brethren Part 7: State of the Horde

Hey guys,   So this is the currently state of the Skull Brethren or at least the finished painted models. It's about 40 infantry, 6 characters, about 5 armoured assets and a pair of spawn. Probably south of 2000pts but over 1500pts for sure. Now what isn't here:   20 built but not painted Khorne Berzerkers. I haven't built up the painting willpower to tackle them yet. Although they will become a priority soon as 11 edition looms  2 more Chaos Spawn. I do run a list th

I also did the Team Tournament Saturday and Sunday. THis was a lot of late night and early morning shenanigans. I'm getting too old for this. Now, this year team events were part of an overall best-in-show type of award, now called the adepti-cup. This is new to me as I missed out last year. So, we aren't j

Did WarComm just call me out like that....

Today's WarComm article just straight out called me out...   "After all, if you really like sneaky Space Marines AND heavily armoured elites, why should you have to focus on just one?"     Well damn.....I love Terminators, Scouts, and Phobos marines. So how does this work?     "Depending on the size of your game, you’ll be able to choose a number of Detachments based on their Detachment Point cost, ranging from 1 for those with gentler rules or narrow

Skull Brethren Part 6: Mere Mortals

Hey guys, back with the World Eaters again. This time we are looking at the small folk of the Skull Brethren. The Jakhal Cultists. I really liked the look of the Jakhals when they came out. They have a lot of character. Although they are a bit of a pain to build. Connecting those chains with the wrists with my ogre fingers was a bit frustrating.    In my warbands lore, The Skull Brethren uses lots of Jakhals. Draxxigor Bloodhowler is the mortal commander of the Skull Brethren, he's fa

Control is power

Hi folks,   DISCLAIMER: No link to be found with my recent paint jobs on inquisition and inquisition-like organizations. For them ignorance is power. To be applied to all and any of the other ones except the wise =][= itself.     This is more related to the capacity you (I) have to control yourself (myself). Specifically, as a matter of compulsory purchases.   I have faced this dilemma recently as I have been very tempted to buy the Aeldari Corsair box. A good

Skull Brethren Part 5: The Forgotten

Have you ever wanted a unit to work in your army but never could? Like a unit or character that you love in the lore, but because the game, aren't able to make it work. I have this feeling about World Eaters Terminators. I love terminators, no doubt about it. When my brother bought box of 2nd edition loyalist terminators, they brought fear into my then Dark Eldar force.

Parting with a previous project - farewell to the Legion of Taurus

Before there was the Ashen Sentinels, there was the Legion of Taurus. Veteran Fraters of the B&C may remember my Chaos Space Marine army, which I worked on from 2007 to 2014. Like with these Ashen Sentinels, I developed a detailed background, and played out their story over the course of several campaigns. After a decade languishing in a couple of classic GW miniature cases under the bed, I’ve made the slightly difficult decision to sell this army      This was a real pas

The Dengamar Strife Part 1: Making War

Hello folks, sometimes I want to be creative, but I have nothing to paint or I'm not in the mood for painting. I'm not made of money. So even though I love building models, I can't justify going out and buying whatever I want. What's a creative wargamer to do?  Another hobby of my back in the day was Dungeons and Dragons. I don't play much currently, I still get the itch. When I did play D&D with my friends, I was the Dungeon Master 80% of the time. So I got a knack for building worlds and s
