    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

    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

    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

Call To Arms progress 2

I had to take a break from the Knights and get stuck into the Reaver. It's been a very slow progression as life keeps throwing curve balls my way but I'm slowly getting there.  Now I've got to say I've never really been a fan of the pre-moulded Princepts/Banners...etc that GW produces, not all but most. And starting out with the other armour piece that I did prior to the Call of Arms starting, having to switch to the Princepts armour piece didn't thrill me HOWEVER after I was fairly close to don

How I changed my mind about Balance Dataslate

Disclaimer: This is a personal and obviously biased point of view. I am addicted to GW products and Lore. But I am convinced that there are game design issues, a recurring pattern of “failing by design” approach in 40k rules, almost independently from the editions concerned. When did it start? For my when 7th Ed hit the ground… Feel free to comment, to add arguments in order to make me change my mind (you will see that this is a starting point of this Blog entry – how I (partially) changed my mi

Grand Army part 4

Hello Frateris,   Today I am discussing the 4th Installment of my Grand Army Idea.  Part 1 covered my Inquistorial Forces, Part 2 were the Scions, Part 3 Sisters of Silence. While this is covering my Grand Army idea, right now the internal debate is do I add Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas army and My Raptor Space Marines to the Grand Army or leave them as separate forces that are planet side (Adepta Sororitas) and reconnaissance force (Raptors).

Tournament AAR: Gamer's Guild RTT 8/12

Record: 1-2 (LWL) Placing: #13 (out of 21)   Summary My opponents were two Orks and an Imperial Knight, in that order. I split with the Orks and dropped the IK game. The major takeaways for me are that I need to work on "Player-Placed Terrain" and deployment. Ignoring my win, I think I did not place my terrain well enough to protect my most important units and/or allow me to get out onto objectives early. Against the first Ork player, I fell behind on primary early, which was

Call to Arms: Week 6

Week 6 of Call to Arms has come and gone, and if my maths is correct, this is the half way point!   This week I technically didn't get that much painting done, but I finished stuff, like these Von Ryan's Leapers: I tried to have a transition going on with the top most scything talons, and it sort of worked, well, worked enough that I set about trying it again on this fella: Can't see it at this angle but I darkened (with extra layers of Leviathan purple) the point

First 1,000 Pt Games

First game of 10th Edition!!!   Note: This was played before some clarifications were made, so Demo Charges are one time use, the 3” ambush nerf wasn’t in effect yet, and I was playing the Nexos as being able to use the 2 CP strat for free (oops!).   I took a very basic list, mostly the contents of the Boarding Party and Combat Patrol, adding in a Ridgerunner, Nexos, and Biophagus for spice.   Neophytes x20 (Mining Laser, Grenade Launcher, Banner) --Nexus --Prim

Background, lore & 'fluff'

What's in a name..?

While you can find some painting updates in my painting log over in the Works in Progress forum, I'm currently working on a piece that will set out some of the background of the Ashen Sentinels - but before I post that I just wanted to write a little about my process and 'inspiration' for choosing names when I'm doing this.    For the names I've chosen for some of the Chapter's Captains, my starting point has been some local history. My home county is Suffolk, which has a few castles s

Call to Arms: Week 5

A quick update this week!   Last week was spent working on batches of Termagaunts and a couple of Barbagaunts, and this week....I spent working on the last batches of Termagaunts and Barbagaunts!   The 3rd batch begins:   By now, everything is running like clockwork on these, so within a day, I had them at this point: and then the 4th batch from here: to here:   By the end, It took me two sessions (roughly 1 hour a session

Legion land raider proteus

Hey all so I have an update, just finished priming my very first land raider proteus and I had a lot of fun building it and getting it ready for when my paints and brushes show up.  Here’s a quick picture of it and in the wings I’m working on a spartan, but I have set myself the goal of building it then waiting to get it started until I’m happy with the land raider.

The start of a journey

Hello all, well just a quick back story, a year ago I exclaimed to my loving wife that I was done with the hobby of warhammer I wasn’t enjoying myself and I had become fed up with it all, so I sold my entire collection of models paints brushes and pallets, and for a year I was very content ignoring the hobby, but slowly ever so slowly I got that itch to look at models and think man those are cool and what not, so after a trip to the UK I went into a games-workshop on a whim in the city of Glasgo

First 1,000 Pt Lists

Now that I have a solid base of models assembled and painted, it’s time to enter the dojo!   I’ll be starting out at 1,000 pts, understanding that lower point levels do tend to warp the balance of the game. Not to mention I am fairly restricted by model collection, so no waves of 6 units of 20 Neophytes, sorry. Also, given the way that Cult Ambush works, I suspect that this ability could be abused to really warp balance in favor of GSC at lower points, as at 1000 pts most armies just h

Week 4 has come and gone, so what did I do? Paint gaunts.   It took one session to complete the 1st batch (of 5 Termagaunts and 1 Barbagaunt) from where I left them last week: So with reckless abandon, I started the next batch straight away   There was nothing new that happened with the 2nd batch other than deciding to do two Barbagaunts now instead of later. I spent a lot of time going around and fixing mistakes where I found them, trying to eradicate white g

MIlitia Lineup

I brought the full militia collection out last weekend.    With the 2.0 changes the force needs a bit of an overhaul and it was easy to figure out once it was all laid out in front of me.    I've removed the plasma guns from my grenadiers and swapped them for volkite culverins.    I need to fill out the command cadre now that they can't all have heavy stubbers.    I have five of the old metal stormtroopers which I might use as either part of a lasrifle com

Picking an Initial Color Scheme

Before starting any new army or project, I highly recommend that you approach it with a paint scheme already in mind. I feel that this goes double for GSC, where you have a large amount of highly detailed models that you need to speed paint your way through, lest you get bogged down by the hobby gremlins. This goes double for non-hobbyists like myself who paint at a glacial rate. Seriously, it's embarrassing.    As you all can probably tell from the blog title, I decided to base my Gen

Since my first venture into 40k, my long time friend/ opponent has been @Entropomancer. Through out the years we had some epic battles with our various armies, some great team ups on the rare occasions, and most of all a good time having fun with friends. Win or lose it has always been fun as we share the idea of Fluffy army over WAAC.    One of our goals was to have a Grand army, a  large main army with smaller playable support elements, like IG/ Astra Militarum armies of our own desi
