    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

    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

    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

    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

Space Hulk

The Patriarch Ascendant - Ghost Ship

Introduction:     The world of Beta Dalas had once been a loyal hive world of the Imperium, its towering manufactorums feeding the endless wars of mankind. Beneath its cathedrals and refinery stacks, however, corruption had taken root. Inquisitor Broman uncovered a vast Genestealer Cult hidden deep within the underhive, worshipping the so-called Four-Armed God. Before the cult could rise openly, Broman transmitted an emergency astropathic plea to the Imperial Fists. The First Company’s

Genestealer colors comming together.

Locked in on the Genestealer color. I think they are starting to look good. Still need to paint the claws and other details on many. Highlighting needs to get done, but they have the right color scheme. They were varnished for this picture. 1/3 gloss, 2/3 matte. I like how they look. Finish them up, then on to bases.   So need to clean them up, get them highlighted.  Then base a lot of them and do the bases.  But moving along.  Considering they have been l

Blood Greys Part 3: Bring it Down!

Hey guys!, back with some more traitor guard minis. This time with some heavy weapon teams  Back in the day, (like 9th edition i think) you were able to field heavy weapon team inside of infantry squads. So I got 4 teams to put in my infantry squads. You can see the older gun on the right, with its power pack on the ground.   With 10 edition, they removed the heavy weapons from infantry squads, they also removed the generic infantry squad for the more famed regiments.

R-Space Hulk-Genestealers

Genestealers WIP

So I based them black, and then did the highlighting in white from above. Zenanthal?  The airbrush is incredible for this.  Did the basing, the highlight and the initial purple for all the models in a night.     I was then using the Leviathan contrast to do the majority of the model, as the newer genestealers have a lot of Carapace and not the slots in the back. That is when I noticed I had 3 bottles of Leviathan Purple, not blue. So they were very purple. I am going for Table

WIP progress shots of Violent Violet and her Violators

So a while ago I bought a few escher kits with the idea to make up a couple Astra Militarum squads, and a command squad to lead them, one of the local forces that often gets summoned up into the Armata Strigoi willingly or not when a large miltary forced needs to be mustered, whether it's to crusade yet another semi-independent border world into full imperial compliance, or to defend against an intrusion. Violent Violet is a frequent recurring character for many games I've played, whether that's

Airbrushing! Learning something new.

So I usually get bored painting miniatures on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th coats.  The priming is easy, but it is the base coloring and such that drives me crazy.   Way back when I was a kid and doing model cars and such, it was a pain then.  But a friend of mine had an airbrush and never had the same problems.  So why did I.   So I always thought about getting an airbrush, and one time I did.  The kind that took a can of compressed air to work.  Just cumbersome and a pain to use. So in 20

Space Hulk

Keeping focus in 2026. A history of excess from the Lord Commander 80s to 2020.

Part of the blog was me "focusing" on doing one thing and finishing it.  Space Hulk.  And I figured I would explain my previous armies/projects. This is my "brain dump" on justification of the blog, and kind of a summary of 30+ years of my time in the hobby.  Just a virtual reminisce for me.  A way for me to capture my thoughts and review them so I can plan the next steps.   More for me to clean my brain out!  And I do think in bullet points, not prose.     I tend to get an idea f
R-Space Hulk-Genestealers

My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are.

So next up, I have to decide on the Genestealer color scheme. I already have 3 other color schemes:     Hive Fleet Gorgon? Last year’s Cthulhu stealers. 11 Stealers with the Ygmirl heads.  I love the Cthulhu heads!  They go with the Delaque models I have been working on.  You know how the Delaque worship the Silent Ones!  Every time I see this, I really lean towards it.  Just not sure I have enough of the heads!     Another choice is the stealers from
R-Space Hulk-Imperial Fists

All your bases belong to us.

Bases are on.  Put magnets on the bases.  I had bought some 40mm magnets, but they actually took up the whole bottom of the base.  So luckily I had also bought some 32mm magnets too, so I decided to use them.  For the GW bases with the magnet holes, I attached them to the bottom.  For the other ones, I put a blob of green stuff on top of the magnet so it would attach to the base and the ground. Used their toothpick handles and drilled a hole through the base (and the magnet in some cases. A
R-Space Hulk-Terrain

Basing the terminators

So I am not that talented for making terrain, and my 3d Printer still isn't working so I wanted to make some bases.   Years ago I made the bases (for the 25mm version of the game), so I figured I would do it again.   You can see the bases here under the Genestealers I was doing for Kill Team.  I would cut out the base to make a void under the grating. And use sprues as beams.     Basically, a plastic card with a circular cutter, marked up the decks some ra

Terminator apothecary

W.A.Rorie gave me a lot of great ideas for the Apothecary and Tech Marine, so huge shout out to them! So the only Apothecary in Terminator armor I could find was an old Dark Angels one!   Looks pretty good, has an Apothicary symbol on their shoulder so I was sold.  I also order some Dark Angels apothecary on bike bits to add more to the model!  I said I wouldn't over do it, so was keeping the model clean.     Now the Dark Angels Apothicary is the old scale

The Imperial Fists - Troops Assembly

So the Imperial Fists: I purchased what I thought I needed (and a bit more) \     So I started assembling the army in a more traditional (to me) way. Priming on the sprue, the assembly was difficult. Having to strip the paint where the model was joined. So I pivotted, as I mentioned, I bought the airbrush and figured I would follow the YouTube videos.  It was a lot easier.  For the Apothecary I used blue tack to block areas.   Nor for the Imperial Fists yo

Greymanes

Assault Druhtii

The Greymanes do not have Blood Claws, as they cannot afford to waste even a middling prospective Astartes. Instead, more experienced brothers, whose proficiencies lie in close quarters combat, take up the roles that Blood Claws would in other Chapters of the Russ lineage. These duguthi are odd sorts — impetuous, but measured.
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

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.

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.
