    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

    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

    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

"There are none above redemption at the end of a chainsword."

- Redeemer Cosler   Between working on all my 40k armies, Kill Teams, and other games plus family life, my Necromunda Redemptionist have taken a back seat. While most of the gang is done I still have some details to do plus some models to finish. I have some conversions planned once my gaming group, Metal Head Armory starts our Khymara Prime Hive campaign again. I am going to update my photos of my Current Gang.    "By Faith and Fire"   Honored Priest Israfil (Prie

Warhammer video games.

I was scrolling through my steam library and saw that I have a few warhammer games. But I refuse to believe that I have enough warhammer games. As it is known throughout the whole world. You can never, ever, ever, have enough warhammer, right?

Building and painting

Did some painting.

Well, I finished painting my emperors champion and 3x eliminators, I think the shade of blue I managed to mix came out ok-ish. I'll upload some better pictures at some point but as for now this is what I have completed:    As I said a little while I ago I picked up another crusader squad and I am quite excited to get building them.

Knives in the Shadows.... done!

Another hobby progress, this time featuring my Knives in the Shadows kill team, but first I had a few other pieces on my desk to clear before starting on the kill team.     The final piece of my Hivestorm terrain, finished at last.          These are a couple of kitbashed pieces  using the models from my Combat Patrol subscription, the subscriber special Tigurius altered to be used as a chief librarian for my own chapter and the biker chaplain, changed to d

Crusade - Game 5 - Down With The Sickness

CRUSADE GAME 5 - TAU VS DEATH GUARD A frank exchange of views.   The third game day in our Crusade began with a more interesting set-up, at least! Outflank against @Agnostic Doggo's Death Guard, with me on the defence. Seems fine, right? Tau gunline, plenty of cover, but this was a rough, but enjoyable one. Lost, in the end, but a fine scuffle.    Fully surrounded? Not with so many Scout/Infiltrate units!   Bit cramped, innit?   Sh

Necromunda: The Rampage of Hive Primus

The Forgeking has been killed. The underhive is in chaos. What little order that was has now been replaced with gangs warring to obtain a piece of his smoke Blackened empire...     Hi all, I'd been thinking about getting into Necromunda for a long time, playing one game in ~2021 or so and getting mashed on a 2x2 board by some corpse grinders, when someone at my local club proposed a new campaign. About 6 of us were interested, and it took off from there.    The star

Defence of Dakota Minor

Defence of Dakota Minor (884M41) II

+++ 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.

Necro-fun-Da: Rad Reavers Rise

I think I might have shared these already, however since October I've been involed in a Necromunda Campaign at my local club, which has been very fun and rewarding, and captured my imagination, attention and obsession like a GW game hasn't since maybe, mordheim? Early heresy 2.0 is up there also as I collected a brand new Alpha Legion Army.    My blog has so far been primarily battle reports, however none for necromunda so far, so I'll be having a go at typing up reports of my games so

Analysis

All about the base!

Intro   With the Knives in the Darkness Kill Team event looming, I have been assembling my chosen team of Inquisitorial agents with a squad of sisters of silence. The inquisitorial agents I have already built on standard plastic Sector Imperialis bases, but sisters of silence I have left unattached to the bases, as i find with big cloaks such as theirs they are easier to paint when you can get to them from below. Anyway, I decided I would have a go at 3d modelling my own 32mm bases for

Battle Report: Eldar v Orks

I had a fight with some orks last night - my first game of 40k in some weeks, and maybe only my third since 2023. Needless to say, I'm a bit rusty, but keen to get the Eldar on the table again.    Eldar Warhost 1.5k Warhost (1490 points)   Aeldari Strike Force (2000 points) Warhost     CHARACTERS   Autarch (90 points)   • 1x Dragon fusion gun     1x Star glaive   • Enhancement: Timeless Strategist   Farseer (85

Into the Forest

Theoretical While building an army, one might find themselves having crossed a line, where the project begins materializing beyond the Kill-Team or individual squad level. Like models in their squads, the units begin to coalesce into a recognizable force. It's not something I can really visualize with grey plastic - the painting lends itself to the phenomenon. The small slips and errors made on specific models goes away, and the trees become the forest.   Practical With my Ta

Crusade - Game 4 - Rematch in the Ruins

CRUSADE GAME 4 - TAU VS IMPERIAL GUARD Spending a lot of time in close combat in this Crusade...   My next game was a rematch, of sorts. Not for the armies so much as for the two most intimidating hulls currently in the Crusade! Yes, Andrew's Rogal Dorn - now a commander - against my Hammerhead, Shi'ur Monat. Oh, and some other things happened, I guess, but the two big tanks having another shooting match was the main thing.   At this range it was practical

CRUSADE GAME 3 - TAU VS GROTS Fearful symmetry.   After a wait, we've now had our second game day for our new Crusade. After a strong start, this was a rough one for the Recon Cadre, but hey, it happens. Regressing to the mean of my gaming by losing horrendously.    Game 3 was against Kieran's Waaaagh!

A Great Unclean One almost took me down.......

Wow this cold/ Flu is freaking brutal.....chills, sinus pressure, cough, congestion, phlegm, exhaustion, fevers, all of it. Hit my house like a ton of bricks. All the kids got it along with the wife and me.  And as I was recovering, Wife and I went to Disneyland with my Bestfriend and his wife, for a mini moon without kids and of course it was cold and rainy (misty rain) so Nurgle's blessing did not go away.  And now that I am back home and back to work we are dealing with a high 80's this past

30 Years of Hobby - Packing time

Hi Folks,   It is time to move, or rather prepare the moving. There are 7 days lefy before starting loading the truck. And I packed all the stuff I jealously want to keep for myself and, if possible in good shape.   But 30 years of Hobby is a big volume of stuff. And some models requuire very specific care if one want them to arrive at destination in a single piece. Past weeks have therefore be spent reinforcing boxes and tray, cutting foam spacers, revarnishing some mod

This One is Compulsory

Theoretical It's largely unnecessary (and generously self-indulgent) to explain the concept of Compulsory Unit Selections to the B&C crowd. With his previous experiences in 3rd Edition Age of Sigmar (playing the big orks whose name escapes me - 'Ardboyz? Irongutz?), my opponent grasped the concept pretty quickly. Personally, I first learned Compulsories during my initial forays in Warhammer, playing Horus Heresy from 2015 until the first rendition's untimely demise (there's another conv

Knives in the Grass

Been steady picking away at my Ratlings team for the last week, and been making slow but steady progress. I swear, ratlings are basically guardsmen on hard-mode. "Oh you want to paint bare faces? What if they were even smaller and always squinting?". I do really love this kit, but if you don't like painting faces its certainly one to avoid. Or don't. They're small enough most people wont see them anyway - live your life.  I have two young children (4 and 6), a spouse that ha
