    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

    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

Eradicators done!

These images shall be the grand opening of my blog.  I finally managed to finish the Eradicators from Indomitus box. I'm trying to get more marines painted as we come closer to 10th edition and the release of another (pretty massive) box set.

Judiciar Conversion

So over the bank holiday weekend, I found myself with a bit of unexpected hobby time and as it was too hot in the conservatory where my painting desk is I decided to do some kit bashing instead of painting.   One unit that I won't to add to this project was a Judiciar as I like the idea of a chaplain in training, however I'm not a massive fan of the GW model so I decided to dive into the bits box and see about making my own version.   I wanted the conversion to be easily iden
Red Corsairs

Red Corsairs and Stompy Robots

Well some time has elapsed and miniature hobby time is at a minimum due to other interests. Spring time has trout season opener where you walk hundreds of miles of river banks or hike through bush reaching that back lake that hasn't seen a person in 6 months ( and very few people ever see it period) or you try on that ninja suit and hope that a Turkey has terrible eyesight and gets close enough for you to tag out. Spring is also a good time to go out rock hounding and Ramp and Morel (ramps are w

Anvilbreakers - Salamanders Tactical Squad

Introduction The Anvilbreakers are the 2nd Tactical Squad of the Salamanders 2nd Company, standing at seven members as of 884M41. They are experienced in fighting xeno warbands in close quarters, and would become instrumental in breaking the Ork and Steel Reaver sieges on Dakota Minor.    Anvilbreakers (2nd Tactical Squad and Apothecary) The squad takes their name from a lesser known Nocturnean fable that describes a compulsive and overachieving blacksmith. The story
Solar Auxilia

Did someone say new army?

Well, it didn't take that long for me to add another project    Here's the first mini for a burgeoning Solar Auxilia force.     This is a plasma gunner for a companion section in the command tercio, the antenna behind his head is from the vox interlock.   Parts list (all Anvil): Gothic void torso (plain back) Field radio Gothic void helmet Void suit arms (rifle stock) Ion rifle Void suit legs   Edit: Spelling.

Anvil additions

I've started working my way through the pile of resin from Anvil   First up is a discipline master      This is the Iron Corps officer model, which comes with a choice of head; the one shown above or a pickelhaube with mustache. I really like this sculpt as he stands out from the regular infantry but with the armoured and cloth textures he'll fit in with the rest of the force (particularly when painted).    Next up is an ogryn boss:      This

Warhammer Fest 2023

Warhammer Fest Horus Heresy Event - Terrain Discussion

Not gonna lie, my heart fell when I got to WHFest and I seen the tables that the HH event would be played on. There were some ok tables, but others had a clear lack of terrain, and large, wide pen fire lanes. Playing a FA heavy Alpha Legion Leviathal, I braced myself for the worst and to get shot off the table by pretty much everything!    Thankfully (luckily?) the armies I played against were Emperor's Children and Custodes, which had less shooting than me so I blatted them off the bo

Hellblasters Update

Hey everyone. I've been able to make quite a bit of progress on the second Brazen Claws squad. The hellblasters are all painted and bases are done. I ended up taking a fairly simple route with the plasma coils, as my intention was just to get a nice contrasting color (Striking Scorpion Green) vs a more complex effort. Again, I only did one marine without a helmet as I am still working on upgrading my facial/eye painting skills.   I'll be doing the chapter icons and maybe additional det

4th Company Structure

So the two aims I have with this project is to:   1. get a 2000 point army to play some games with.   2. to build out the whole 4th company.   The first aim is pretty easy to achieve and once the 10th ed codex  is out I will settle on a list but for the time being I have been trying to see how I can go about aim 2 as there doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about the current company structures in regards to Firstborn/Primaris units. Although I don't

The Swords of Calth

The Swords of Calth

After deciding to go with the 4th Company for my next project, I picked up the latest Uriel Ventris Novel to catch up on what the latest lore was.   One thing I want to replicate from the novel is the swords of Calth so I can run them in my army with Uriel, so I have set about planning out some conversions to represent the members of the command squad.   First up we have Apothecary Selenus      A nice and easy quick kit bash to start us off using parts fro

Storm Angels rise

So whilst i dislike the fluff change the new primaris stuff(i stopped around 5th edition) the models still look great and iv picked up some bits through imperium.  haveing a growing  pile of shame and  with the leviathan box set coming iv been practicing my reds more... as seen in the 2 hour painting challenge thread.              so ive been cracking on with a few more intercessors and the lieutenant model. even poking at some of the personal heraldry bits tha

Refocusing on the things i want to run :D

So ive not been motivated to update this in a while, mostly because my Sons of Horus project wildly lost momentum and the accountability posts got absolutely no engagement i recall, and i sometimes crave validation :P  Anyhow, our group has stirred some motivation to do a Heresy campaign event in September and ive got a lot of faith in the folks running it (No pressure Pete :P )  so essentially im letting peer pressure carry me along ha :D  Campaign events are of course the traditional mot

New Photos, Old Models

Playing around with ideas to improve pics of models.    Speaking of, I have painted models not posted yet and I'll get around to that. Not sure how replacing backgrounds on infantry will work, but at least there will be pics of dark reapers, more corsairs, and banshees incoming on my moribund blog.

Squad Two - Hellblasters

Last weekend I finished the bases and some of the detailing on the intercessors squad, so when the hellblasters package arrived I dove right in. My philosophy with the Brazen Claws is to build an infantry-centric army. According to the lore over 60% of the chapter was lost between the destruction of their homeworld and their subsequent crusade into the warp. What would follow (I assume) would be a rebuilding phase with a severe lack of vehicles and heavy armor. I'll be leaning in on infantry wit

Pile of shame or pile of potential

Pile of shame or pile of potential

So as per the last blog one of the reasons that I decided to go with space marines where the sheer amount of bits and kits I had laying around.   I have always tried to keep the to do pile under control however after replacing my hobby desk I realised that the pile of shame has gotten a little out of hand and needs to be slimmed down so I have decided to sell of some of the kits that I am never going to get around to building and focusing purely on this Ultramarine force.   O

Squad One Update...

It was a busy week and weekend with mother's day here in the United States, so my painting progress slowed a bit. I was able to get bases painted and done for the intercessors squad. I've still got to fix two of the faces (LOL) and then do some additional shading but the first squad is mostly done. I'm pretty pleased with the results and have learned a lot.   The first thing was finding a flow to my painting. At times I would assemble, prime and then paint through one marine at a time.

Coming back to the 4th

I first got into 40k back in 5th when a work colleague how knew I was into Sci Fi lent me a copy of the first Ultramarines omnibus and that was it I was hooked,  so I started a 4th company army that I played up until late 7th when I dropped out the hobby.   So when the rumours of 10th started circulating earlier in the year, I decided that I wanted to get back into the actually playing some games of 40k after the past couple of years of building my Iron Snakes as a purely modelling pro

Kill Team Rapier - Introduction

Introduction: Kill Team Rapier was a Deathwatch strike team formed in 920M41, originally stationed in the Jericho Reach. The team was led by Watch Sergeant Alyxander, with Veterans Auranis, Gorlin, Validus, Lucena and Rarai'an under his command. As of 925M41, Kill Team Rapier had a short yet eventful operational history that has taken them from the Jericho Reach to the Agripinaa Sector, striking down heretics and Xenos that threaten the Imperium's holdings.

Space Marine Officer

Two entries in one day (don't get used to this pace please).  I picked up the Space Marine Masters of the Chapter when they went on MtO at the end of last year so here's the first one I have done up (mostly). I need a fancier backpack than what he came with. The head is the plastic MK2 one from the new heresy tank commander.      I'll probably use him as a captain but I have no idea which company he'll be assigned to.  My space marine chapter is a homebrew one called the S
