    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

Call to Arms 2024 - 1st vow and progress report

Hi Folks,   CtA 2024 has been launch and it is time to set a first progress report.   For the moment, I decided to focus on my AdMech.

Session Three (Writing/Prose only)

SESSION THREE:   I'll start altering the titles of the Blog entries to advertise a little better what's on the menu, since the entry names are kind of sterile and hide the content from those who might be looking for something else. Hope that helps everyone.   +++++   ECHIDNA'S CHILDREN   ++ THE KHYMARAN DRIFT ++     + BADAB SECTOR = LOYALIST CONTENDED +   'Twixt the barrows of Khymara, The dust of rock and bone, Ther

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 3

Hi folks,   After last post presentation of the HW squads, we left the story to a point where I was left with the Truck and 11 bodies to be kitbashed.   The Truck, as a proxy Taurox, does not require much work: weapon system is dual autocannon, as the genuine model, and removing the cult emblems and adding some Imperium symbols was not a big deal. The same with swapping the machine gun for a sanctionned stormbolter (after all these kit bashed are supposed to be SW auxillaries

12 Months of Hobby

Necromunda market completed

Hi folks,   After 5 months and a half, I finally completed my Plodding along vow. Last part was the Necromunda market. This set was initially selected in order to represent a sumptown or refugee tents installed among the ruins of the Sector Fronteris that is the core of this table.    I did not enjoy painting this set. Too much small stuff that are not really useful or necesary for a gaming table (Mugs, Mung vases...) except for marking objectives, but hey, Objectives markers

Kit bashing and gap filling

Had a few peaks and valleys in the Khromeboys project since the last post. Started in on modding the rest of da boyz. 5 models for the compendium team are in their vanilla configurations with no kit-bashing, but the rest are all proppa kustom. I wanted my Felgores proxies to be easily identified WYSIWYG comparisons to their beastmen counterparts, fortunately since the majority of them are some version of "melee weapon and pistol" its an achievable goal. I didn't take great photos during the whol

Land Raider Progress

I have managed to get some painting done and the Land Raider for my Cataphractii terminators is done (at least for the moment while I move on to more pressing pieces of the pile of shame):

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 2

Hi folks,   Last post of the series introduced the reasons behind buying a GSC Patrol box (the old one) in order to get the base for kit bashing IG infantery squads. The fact that I have a sweet remember of these guies is probably not completely disconected to the selection of Neophyte Hybrids models instead of Orlocks gangers as a starting base. Even if after a carful look,        As for using Sktarii heads on other bodies, I had already tried it, more or less succ

53rd Army Group

53rd Army Group

I have bits of background for my Imperial Guard project scattered throughout my WIP thread in the barracks so I figured I should put it all in one place; so here goes:    Army group numerical designation: 53 Officer Commanding: Lord General Matthias Fischer Commissariat supervision: Lord Commissars Bane and Helgen. Operational Strength: Less than 1%   Composite Units: Cadian 1st Infantry Regiment "The Sentinels" Cadian 223rd Artillery Regiment
Swords of Fire

Primaris Champion

I finally got around to assembling the Primaris Champion I picked up when it went MTO:      This was a very easy assembly as the model is push fit, I only needed plastic glue for where the two right arm parts meet. I'm not really playing 40k at the moment so this is more just a painting project and collection piece. 
Militia

Another Sentinel

I have begun work on a second sentinel for the militia, this one will also have a converted multimelta:      In terms of aesthetics I actually prefer the look of this one for heresy than the old sentinel, I'm not really sure why it just feels more appropriate for militia.

53rd Army Group

Senior Officer

I have completed building the mini for Lord General Matthias Fischer, the commander of the 53rd Army Group:   Parts wise he is mostly the standard Castellan with the sheathed power sword from the Cadian Command Squad and the addition of a patrician cloak from Anvil Industry's regiments range. I just need to decide on a paint scheme and build a command squad to accompany him (possibly based on the rogue trader voidsmen).

Which Company for my Bladeguard - help me choose!

Call to Arms has started, and I'm going to paint a squad of Aggressors for it  But at the same time, I'm painting three Bladeguard Veterans; I'll chip away at these in the background, aiming to have them done by the end of the year.      In the meantime, I'm mulling over which Company these Veterans are going to be from  They're intended to go with the Boarding Patrol I've already completed, which is from the 4th Company. I had originally intended that these would be from th

Session Two

SESSION TWO:   Well, I've been busy again. I've thrown myself into weird and wonderful projects because I can, and I have the time. It has also served me to look at something other than a bloody computer scream (no, not a typo), and has allowed me to just get lost in a project, no matter how much hair it still causes to fall out. It has been a bit of trial and error, but I got where I wanted in the end. Looking at the RT WH40K Compendium is absolutely lethal.   Now it just so

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep

Tanksgiving part 4 - Heavy Tank Inbound

Well it has been a week, not so much work related but I finally found time to hobby. I had to decide between painting Sisters of Silence (now that I have all 50 infantry models), the Custodes, or start building the last 2 armor vehicles I have.  Well the Kratos won out. This is were it ended last night.      Just turret and accessories to do.  I am hoping to get it done and get the Cerebus done too  before Saturday so I can focus on painting the rest of the Call to Arms vow

Session One

SESSION ONE:   Just a quick one since I had some time today, and so I went delving in the boxes, the miniatures shuddering from fear and fright in the back of my attic, and I found the hull of a Land Raider Redeemer/Crusader with a goodly few bits.   This fired up a few neurons, and I pored through the pages of Imperial Armour IX and found a very intriguing bit of artwork, namely the Howling Griffons Land Raider Prometheus. Well, you know, the FW kit has been out of productio

Scope Creep

I'm headed to Nova in a couple of months, and wanted something new to bring to the tournament. I'm exclusively a kill-team player these days (if you haven't checked it out, do yourself a favor), and Nova is holding a compendium-only tournament which sounds like a blast. Compendium teams are the original, essentially underpowered/beginner teams that launched with KT2.0/KT21, and are almost all teams made up of models you likely already have if you play 40k. I decided this was a perfect opportunit

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 1

Hi folks,   Before entering into the details, it may be worth setting up a kind of background. Let´s go back in time in a not so far past (relativity matters) when previous 40k Edtion allowed Allied Detachments in its Force Organization Charts   The scene is set.   I enjoyed this era that has been a perfect time to increase my SW force versatility adding small detachments of other stuff in order to get some tactical diversification. It is when I added Blood Ang

Session Zero

SESSION ZERO:   Welcome to the Blog!    This is basically intended as a collection of projects - which likely won't ever get finished, but I don't want to clog up the WIP/HOH with my inane and meandering nonsense. You can see my very small pile of shame here, which consists of half an Infiltrators kit (Technically a Phobos Kill Team with the upgrades - I can't even remember the name), a Bladeguard kit, and two Intercessors. They've been sitting around for a while, doing not mu

Baneblade Completion

I have finally managed to finish off the Baneblade for the militia.   In the end there weren't as many gaps as anticipated and it was overall pretty painless after the side scaffolding was done.
