    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

    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

War of the False Primarch / #HiddenArmies WIP 1/5

The Black Riders (Marcachi Dubh) are a small, roving fleet of Eldar Anhrathe, under charter to [REDACTED] as of this writing. Their force balance tends to skew towards more strategically mobile, less logistically-bound assets — either swift-moving jetbike-mounted raiders, speeders, or pedites. Their colors are as riotous and non-uniform as expected of Corsairs, yet a distinct preference for darker tones has been noted fleet-wide.    Overall, the temperament of the Marcachi Dubh could be d

Consolidating my Ynnari - A Drukhari test model

Hi folks,   As part of my Asuryani force, Ynnari oriented, I had marked on my list the addition of deepstriking units under the form of a Drukhari combat patrol plus other stuff. I've already painted the Incubus as part of the CtA24. Comes the time of the Kabalites.   I have hesitated quite a long time before choosing a colour. I finally decided myself for an Akhelian green. It is close to a teal colour that can traditionally be associated to the dark kins. Their alliege

Craftworld Ythiril - Windriders

YTHIRIL WILD HUNTER HOST WINDRIDER Riding out in close formation.   I've finished the first squad, and had a delightful time. I really liked this kit, even if I ran into some... Problems with my magnetisation. The weapon hole is an awkward size for the magnets I have left over from basing all my Tau, and even more awkwardly my drill bit doesn't fit my hand drill, so I had to do it manually. As such, the guns aren't quite level, with one of them unfortunately droopy. Oh w

Craftworld Ythiril - Windrider & Lore Thoughts

YTHIRIL WILD HUNTER HOST WINDRIDER Windrider Jetbike with Shuriken Cannon.   The core of the Wild Hunt, warrior-bond teams of Windriders scour the battlefield of the enemies of Ythiril, and its charge to guard the Cold Iron Stars. The Craftworld, militaristic and dedicated, blurs the lines between citizen soldiers and the Holy Aspects, especially amongst the main body of the Host, mounted on Jetbikes that will, in time, be coaxed into becoming steeds for their riders thr

Niall, post-Gharus

+++My graith [wargear/accoutrement?] was taken from me on Gharus. Have had to make do with human materials when wraithbone quantities acquired from the Marcachi Dubh will not suffice. In honor of Sgt. MacNamarra of the Praetorians, I have mated her bayonet to my bladeless haft. May it serve us both well in vengeance.+++

Volkus Scenery - Part 1.2

Hi folks.   Why Part 1.2?  No, you did not miss anything; it is just ythat, as the first building was painted as part of the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, this blog entry is not really Volkus Part 1. But starting at Part 2 directly woulmd have looked odd. And as Part 1.2 is an intringuing title... It might boost the reader counter!   As all the Volkus pieces or terrain this one is no exception to the rule: low to zero custom assembly. It is somehow a very different desig

12 Months of Hobby - November Pledge Completion

Hi Folks,   The week has been a productive one and I finally managed to complete all the pledged items and even a little bit more.   The 2 henchmen could have been enlisted in a éh painting challenge as they were sorted out very fast.     The enlisted Volkus building has also been painted fast. Getting a painrt scheme already well established makes things faster: benefits of being trained upstream I guess. The scheme remains the same as the one I used

"On Gharus XI, we are all brothers" - Niall's models pt. 2 (WIP)

A world beyond the bounds of Mavor, but sickeningly close to it. Gharus XI is, in essence, Chaos’ version of an Imperial Prison World — where millions work menially, suffer, and are held captive until the moment of their deaths, and sometimes beyond. Its vast furnace-pits burn night and day, while screams of the tortured rise with their towering flames to its steel-gray sky. The products of this fell industry go on to feed the war machine of many warbands and cults in the Eastern Fringe, with th

Delai Death-Dancer, Altansar's Prodigal (WIP)

Altansar has sacrificed much. Its good name, as the Mon-Keigh would put it, for one. Blame Ulthwé and their monomania for that.    One other sacrifice is Delai Deathdancer. They were much like me. A former Aspect Warrior, who could never quite get stuck into either of the twin paths for advancement as such. They left Altansar, for to be not a Warrior there is anathema. It is wrong that they died at Tarn's hands. It is wrong that their spirit-stone was crushed. They were young, and h

A Quarter Century in the Warhammer Hobby

I've been in the Warhammer hobby for 25 years, beginning with my first love: the Wood Elves of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. The allure of these forest-dwelling warriors hooked me early on, and I became immersed in the world of dice rolls, paints, and detailed lore. As I ventured into Warhammer 40,000 in 3rd Edition, my collection expanded to include the zeal of the Black Templars, the supernatural intensity of the Daemonhunters, and the tactical allure of the T’au. Each faction brought its ow

Niall Way-Leaver, Eldar Outcast

Once an Autarch of Iyanden, a generation before the rise of Yriel, the sundering of their sisterhood with Biel-Tan in his memory. However, in the actions he led against the mon-keigh Zhemon, he saw the all-consumptive nature of the Warrior Path plainly. Disgusted, he threw aside the Star Glaive that served as his rod of office, renounced the warlike ways of the Autarchy and took to a long exile.   Ranging as far as the Mavor sub-sector, he came to the damned world of Immram.

12 Months of Hobby - November Progress

Hi Folks,   As first progress report for this months entries on mine in 12MoH, here come the Castellax Automatas.   Of course they cannot be fielded as such in 40k setting, but they will be very decent proxies for Phosphor blasters' tooled-up Kastellans. And the model is rather gorgeous, although less bulky than the 40k one...   Building has been rather easy even if long. indeed these chaps are set in numerous bitz. the cut might eventually have been made less

Swords of Fire

Space Marine Honour Guard

Something a little different this time.    I decided I would kitbash some Honour Guard for the Swords of Fire (my homebrew IH successors). I have 10 Honour Guard based off the old Sanguinary Guard kit so I decided to do something different this time around and use the 30K MVI Command Squad with an assortment of veteran parts from my bits box.  Here's the initial progress picture with more to come:     The sheathed sword on the Chapter Ancient is from the old Ster

1 Week White Scars Challenge

Last weekend I went to the Route 66 GT Kill Team tournament in Sepulpa OK, and ahead of that tournament I decided to challenge myself to go from sprue to painted on the 4 additional marines I needed to round out my team.  Angels of Death is the new marine Kill-Team for the new KT24 edition, which combines Strike force Justinian and Intercession squad from KT21. In order to round out my list I needed to add a grenadier, a grenade launcher gunner, an omni-sergeant (intercessor and assault fla

Helmets of Blue

Painted up the helmet and I love it so much! But I'm left wondering what GW was smoking when they named Stegadon Scale Green and Sotek Green. Those are the paints I used here...   I also am working on the tabard. Mostly happy with it, but I overshaded it and need to bring it up a bit.   Cheers!

Enter the Thalassians

Cruel and fierce, the Space Marines of the Thalassians Chapter bring a ruthlessness to the battlefield matched by few others. Sailing the inky darkness of the void as easily as the oceans of their aquatic homeworld, Vathys, they have engaged enemies of the Imperium in several vicious campaigns, leaving devastation in their wake - from raids against the enigmatic Eldar to brutal wars of attrition with the endless swarms of the Tyranid hivemind. While their effectiveness cannot be questioned, the

A never ending story

Hi folks,   I just spent the past week hobbying on something different. It has been a very long time I did not spend time on stuff not 40k or HH related; so I decided to dig up some old dwarves I had untouched since the release of the battle for skull pass. A while indeed. And while I tried to jsutify this change arguing that I had almost cleaned down my 40k Pile of Shame, I did a little mental recap.   Gosh it looks like this is a never ending story, with waiting list recomp

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 5

Hi folks,   As a fith act in this series, here is today's addition: a Goliath truck to be used qs q Tqurox proxy. Becquse remember thqt I am not starting a GSC army... But is there someone that really believing this?   In CtA23, year ago so, I painted some kit bashed Scions from old plastic scouts. These lads deserves a vehicle to go at heart of the fight. and if it comes with some fire power, better. A Taurox fits the role but... I had this Goliath Truck from the Patrol box,

Life

Time for small break from the hobby.

Well I am getting married in just over 3 weeks (24 days and 7 hours), so I have to take a pause from the hobby for the next few weeks. And by hobby, I mean building and painting. I need my hobby space for some wedding projects. I have to paint all the wood flowers for the wedding, work on some of the decorations, and then it is all wedding prep with some exceptions along the way.    So in about a month I will return to this Blog with more Exorcist, Psian Jakals, and Inquistion/ Imperia

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 4

Hi folks,   As a fourth act in this series that I left aside for a while, here are some progresses to be shared: the kit bashed HW teams have been painted.   As previously ibntroduced in the second part of this serie ( or was it the first one?), using a single kit of ooP Cadian HW plus GSC cultists and extra crew members from the GOliath kit allows reaching 18 footsloggers and puting in service 3 types of HW. In my case; ML; Autocannon and mortars. I like the vibe of the last

Lore/Background

Opening thoughts, the concept

Several ideas rumbling around in my brain, just wanted to get them down finally. I have a growing collection of various imperium forces, and wanted them to sort of tie in with each other somewhat. A group of various imperial organizations that work together to defend and expand their small sector of space, located on one of the edges of imperial control, a frontier as it were. Primarily this would consist of my space marines, as well well as the SoB, AM/IG, Necromunda and Kill Team models I have

Hobby tips and creative advice

Some musings on painting big areas of skin (with and without oils)

I recently started experimenting with oils, opting to smear a magenta/purple oil wash on my Great unclean one (on the tentacles, stomach and guts) with rather good results, if I do say so myself: So, yeah, oil washes are good, if you want to use them, but what if you don't? Well, have no fear, I still have some tips for you! There's a little oil wash on the back here, but much of the purple/magenta is actually done only with thinned acrylics and some washes and contrasts. AND, it wa

Death Guard kill team, Chapter four: A dull, mounting headache...

I guess you're wondering how I'll have managed to put off the oil paints for another day, huh? Well, the answer is easy: I told myself I'd better get the texture on the bases ready, as well as doing some more detail work on the trim and weapons, before moving on. Finally, when I couldn't think of anything else, I realised I hadn't primed the heads (I almost never paint the heads separately, as I generally finds it's more hassle than it's worth, but this time I thought it might make sense at
