    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

Jetbike Command Squad

I finally finished my jetbike command squad for my Iron Hands using the now OOP Iron Hands Mark III Torsos, Shoulder Pads, and Heads:    Their weapons and shields come from a variety of sources:  1. The power maul on the left model as you look at the photo is from the new 30k melee weapons upgrade set.  2. The power fists are from the Mark IV kit.  3. The banner is from the old Cadian Command Squad with the detailing filed off and a brass rod as the banner pole.

Land Raider Proteus

I have also assembled and started painting a Land Raider Proteus fto carry around my Gorgon Terminators (this is the only shot I have of it right now). The Cataphractii Terminators will be in the Phobos so I won't forget which unit is in which transport on the tabletop.    I have to say this is a much nicer kit to put together than the Phobos Land Raider, the parts just fit together much better. I have started painting and will post a photo of the progress soon.

Militia Discipline Master

I have kitbashed up a discipline master for the militia, this guy is made up of 3d printed legs (I do not know the STL I got them from a friend), the laspistol arm from the now OOP Krieg HQ command squad, a closed greatcoat torso, veteran beret head and power axe (all from Anvil), and the Scion coat.      I have had to greenstuff the waist joint a bit as the 3d printed legs were slightly larger than Anvil or old GW Cadian legs but it is not noticeable now that the model has

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter I part 2

Marshal Mat Dylon of the Adeptus Arbites 8th Precinct on Khymara Prime sat in the transport area of the wheeled Chimera. Vigilant Squad 83 sat with him. Vigilant Proctor Yin Pliskec was sitting across from Marshal Mat Dylon, his winged helmet on his lap. His black armor, while normally shiny, was showing some damage from a recent encounter against a gang ambush, as was the entire squad. Dented and scarred armour, green fatigues torn.  Vigilant Proctor Pliskec shaved head had beads of sweat rolli

Blue Stuff testing - an alternative for repairs and missing parts

Hi folks,   As CtA25 is coming, I started refraining my painting activity for anything related to 30/40k or associated universe. Target is to get enough material to gather them in a single faction and try to get them painting while competing for enough points. And, maybe, get a badge. Yet getting painting on standby does not mean getting all other tasks associated with hobby on standby. After all I still have some models to build or kitbash. Plus some plasticard job awaiting. And

Warhammer World- Nottingham

OMG.......Store #2 of the Honeymoon. WARHAMMER WORLD, such an unreal experience. The exhibit hall, the gaming area, the store, and even with Bugman's being remodeled it was still cool thing.      The Rhino, the Space Marine statue, and LT. Titus such a site to see in person. Yes I am wearing a Grey Knight shirt.    I was shocked to see the Tyranid invasion of Fenris was in the main lobby   one of my favorite pieces in the lobby was this mode

Warhammer- Belfast

So while on a Tour of Northern Ireland, the tour stopped in Belfast for about 2 hours self guided tour and lunch. After Lunch at Hellcat Maggie's, the wife and I were about start walking around Belfast and I made a joke that there should be Warhammer store near by. She laughed said better not be. turned the corner and there it was. Store #6      Store was about the size of my local stores and pretty busy.

The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Prelude

The planet of Khymara Prime was quiet. While the Hive cities may had some light activity to them, the main city, Khymara Prime Proper, was quiet. Khymara Prime Proper consisted of Imperial Adminstratum buildings, Ecclesiarch buildings and an Adeptus Arbites Precient and the older ruined Imperial buildings. Nothing visible stirred in the buildings, ruined or not. The Convent of the Valorous Heart with it's high walled fence had limited torches lit. The Governess's Palace was dark along with the v

Warhammer- Dublin

At this point on the Honeymoon it has became a hunt for me to find Warhammer stores near our hotel. Originally our plan was to stay at the Zanzibar Locke Hotel in Dublin (99 meters away) but changed it to Trinity City Hotel (850 meters away). This store was about twice the size of my home state stores. But had some really nice models on display. I thought I got a pic of the amazing Iron Snakes that the staff member did.    Store #5

Warhammer- Edinburgh

On 04/30 the Wife and I were in Edinburgh, Scotland.....Warhammer store 0.1 mile for hotel, wife was slightly annoyed which I was very humorous to me. Awesome Kill Team display board.  Store had a limited amount of Forgeworld and was about the same size as my local stores. I did get to hang out with the employees for a bit. Plus look at that view of Edinburgh Castle! Store #4 visited!

Warhammer - York

Saving Warhammer World for the last....     So on 04/29 My wife and I were walking to our hotel in York, I laughed as we were 280 feet from Warhammer York. This would be Warhammer store #3. It was a little bigger than the Warhammer Stores here. And I loved their store display.            I did purchase my Astra Militarum Codex here.

Warhammer Store- London

While I was trying to keep a blog while on my 19 day Honeymoon in UK/ Ireland and I really disliked typing it out on my phone and trying to keep it forum related.  My Wife and I planned on going to Nottingham for a day (04/28) and going to Warhammer World while there. We arrived in London on 4/22 and crashed out. The morning 04/23 We were about to begin our tour of London, I was curious where the closest Warhammer Store was. Turns out it was just under a mile away from hotel.

Gaming and Campaigns

The Forge of Silence opens - the Campaign finale!

Yesterday at my local gaming group, Framhammer we played a big team game, the finale to 'The Forge of Silence' Narrative Crusade campaign I've been running. This game saw three teams - Imperial, Votann and Necrons - face-off across two game areas; the first a pretty big 132"x60" table (3 standard 40k tables joined together ), the second a 'sort of' Boarding Actions type of affair.      The first area was on the surface of Rostokhar III, where the campaign was fought; narrati

Incursor Druht

With this unit, I bought the Phobos Strike Team KT box rather than the Infiltrators/Incursors dual kit. I very much recommend the former. Its bits give the otherwise bland models a proper SM feeling, particularly as seen with the Druht leader. I've never really been a big fan of Phobos since I reached hobby 'maturity'. I don't mind how they executed the tacticool look, but the basic troops are lacking on ornamentation without the upgrade sprue.    With the Haywire Mine guy, I brought out

Crusade - Game 7 - Practical Archaeology

CRUSADE GAME 7 - TAU VS ELDAR It always starts so well.   We've settled into a two-match Crusade day per month right now, which isn't a lot, but it's better than nothing. We're (almost) all 30-somethings with full time jobs, so it's tricky to get a free weekend. Still, it's more 40K than I've played before we started doing Crusades, so I'll not complain.    Game 7 was against James' Eldar, and it was a damn close one! We absolutely mauled each other over the co

Patrol day 2

Grand Master De Sonnec and Inquisitor Rork, meet with Sgt Magdalene of the Langham 13th. Sgt Magdalene was grizzled old Sgt with white hair, and no nonsense attitude.    The first stop on the patrol was speaking with an Imperial Fist Captain Eaton at the “Tower”. The “Tower” was more of heavily armed and armored Fortress in True Sons of Dorn fashion. The “Tower” was able to defend the entire city if needed. And was also right against the River crossing the city    Next was a vis

After donning his suit of Terminator armor, Grand Master Wilhelmina De Sonnec of the 2nd Brotherhood of Grey Knights met with Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha Rork for a morning meal.   ”We have a long day ahead of us, so please have some nourishment, Grand Master,” requested Inquisitor Rork.   ”yes , ma’am,” replied Grand Master De Sonnec.   Inquisitor Rork briefed Grand Master De Sonnec on the plans of the day.

The Grey Knight Thunderhawk touched down safely after launching from the Inquisitorial Black Ship Phoenix. Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sasha and Grand Master De Sonnec exited the ramp and were met by Inquisitorial Agent Satri. Taking them to the waiting Inquisitorial Chimera, Agent Satri transported them to Inquisition hold Langham for the next few days. The Langham 13 Black Guard greeted the Inquisitor and Grand Master.

Defence of Dakota Minor

Defence of Dakota Minor (884M41) III

+++ INTRODUCTION +++   The Defence of Dakota Minor was a series of conflicts in 884M41, that saw the Imperium defending the Matteus Subsector’s primary food provider against invaders. With only a token battlefleet and planetary defence force to protect it, Dakota Minor was expected to fall to the invaders in less than three months. Fortunately, intervention by local Astra Militarum regiments and the Adeptus Astartes saw the invasion quelled and the planet secured for the Imperium.

Terrain Pegasus Hobbies Ruined Gothic Building

I bought this Pegasus Hobbies piece years ago. I painted it in basic gray colors and used it in a few dozen games. Last year, I and a comrade decided to level it up. I hope you like it. The original building had an open top. This was covered in plasticard. A building from Age of Sigmar was added. Then texture paste and some random bits were added to the rooftop.   The model got a new coat of paint followed by a heavy wash. I can't remember if it was Nuln or Agrax Earthshade. A spong
