    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

    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

Greymanes

Greymanes Hellblaster

This one is so-so, in my opinion. The face came out better than expected, despite my struggles with the ancient Blood Claw sculpt I affixed to the model many moons ago. I couldn't quite tell where the face ended and the hair began. However, the plasma glow and the patchy metallics leave something to be desired. That said, I haven't painted a Space Marine in a few weeks, so it's to be expected.

100th Blog Post!

100 Blog Posts..... On January 20th, 2023, I started this blog discussing my armies....well for my 100th posts I want to update my armies and discuss them.     Grey Knights  are by far the closest to being completed army I own.  I still some stuff to build, more to paint, and need to update the weapon glows. Grey Knights is an army I enjoy painting and playing even when I lose.  Grey Knights are my 2nd favorite army.     My Original Raptors/ Raven Guard wa

Orks in the Age of Darkness

Where to go with 40k?

(Wherein the author discovers that the Horus Heresy ruleset is more to his liking, even if Orks aren't officially supported)   So, earlier this year, around January, I came to the realization that I was burnt out on keeping up with the Space Marine releases. The more that came out, the less I wanted to have anything to do with them; I was just buying them to have. I also admitted to myself that I didn't really like the lore changes that GW's team were applying to the game - this isn't
Necromunda Co-op Game

The first episode of our Necromunda co-op/roleplay

So, I've been working on a set of rules for co-operative play for some time now (and have actually played a succesful mini-campaign some time ago, where a group of Imperial Guard veterans where sent to investigate a mysteriously quiet space station, but that's another story...). The core rules seem to work pretty well, so now I've moved on to the next step: creating "campaign packs" that allow for story-based campaigns based around randomly generated scenarios. Last weekend, we got out first g

30k Mechanicus expanded units

Hello   I've finally dusted off a project I started working on in7th ed 40k which was porting various 40k mechanicus units into 30k.   This if the first batch and working wip for the cult mechanicus side of things, I will be doing the Skitarii units as well. Currently the idea is these units simply add to the existing Mechanicum list but I've also drafted a separate detachment that will solely focus on the 40k units representing the more militaristic and regular mechanicum fi

Ride Eternal - Shiny and Chrome

August sure did fly by.  I'd intended about being more diligent about maintaining this blog alongside the progress of this project. However between work and family life being chaos as summer drew to a close I barely had enough time to finish this project, let alone effectively document its progress. As such this is going to be a behemoth of a post, though I'm going to keep the text down and try and let the pictures do most of the talking.  From cloth to chrome - the hardest part of this pai

Expeditions of Kill Team Rapier

Expedition VI - Dakota Minor, 924M41

+++ PREFACE +++   After a frustrating and costly tour of the Cellebos Warbone, Kill Team Rapier (at the time comprised Alyxander, Rarai’an, Auranis and Validus) had a chance meeting with Inquisitor Jemini Malethann. He was concerned with the myriad xenos incursions within the Matteus Subsector, and was headhunting experienced Deathwatch Astartes to investigate these threats.   Kill Team Rapier welcomed the opportunity to adapt their xeno-hunting skills in an arena free of the pol

Hobby tips and creative advice

A Dataslate for a homebrew game and some idle musings on making stuff

I've been toying with making a homebrewed co-op game for use with 40K/Necromunda rules for the past couple of years. The idea originally popped into my head because I was a bit disillusioned with both the (then) current state of Warhammer 40.000, as well as not really "feeling it" when it came to playing army-scale games. Partly due to not having the time and energy for actually painting an army and keeping up on the rules, but also because I simply didn't enjoy the experience the last couple of
Realm of Chaos

Daemons of Tzeentch

I recently painted up a small fraction of my (many, many) Daemons, as a vow for the Call to Arms. I basically just threw together whatever Tzeentch stuff I thought would be fun and pledged them. It had the added benefit that I was able to use them for a game of Old World (as I could just make all the stuff I had pledged into a - pretty ineffective - army), so that was a big help in keeping motivated. I lost the game, of course, but now I have a bunch of my Daemons painted!

GorkaMorka

Some painted Orks and Gretchin for GorkaMorka

So, I recently painted up some Boyz and some Grotz, plus a big Trukk and some scatter terrain. I'm not sure I'll ever actually get to use them, but we've kicked the idea of playing GorkaMorka around from time to time, so now I have them ready if we ever end up needing them. Alternatively, they might find some use as adversaries in a co-op game some day.

So, how did you get into the hobby?

Being a Catholic who joined The Church as an adult I am often asked how it is that I came to find God, and my answer generally holds great interest in the many 'cradle Catholics' who ask. My wife has on more than one occasion suggested that it was my finding of faith that inspired my love for the Sisters of Battle - the faction I've been collecting for the last year - upon seeing their exuberant Cathedral-Cannons on wheels (as she calls The Immolator Battle Tanks), rosaries wrapped around bolt-g

BatRep: AT Tempestus vs Solaria

Quick photo dump of a recent game with my Tempestus playing against my friends Legio, using Solaria Rules to maximise warhounds. This was a first for us as he wanted to play using all AT rules and not just part, so we used stratagems, Legio traits, and I brought out a corrupted titan for a laugh. I might be reading it wrong, but is there a way to get more than 2 strat points other than being the underdog?   My Force was: Corsair maniple Aegis Fidelis - Reaver princeps - volca

Defence of Dakota Minor

Sah’rk-Hunters - 4th Scout Squad

+++INTRODUCTION+++ The Sa’hrk-Hunters were the 4th Scout Squad of the Salamanders 7th Company, and were the only Scout Squad to deploy to Dakota Minor in 884M41. They did not participate in the siege of Dakota Primus, out of concern of losing the remaining future Space Marines. Once the siege was thwarted and the bulk of Imperial forces redeployed to the Adatok Wastelands to finish the Orks, Scout Sergeant Kareldek took his neophytes into the hab-blocks of Dakota Primus to flush out and d

Solar Auxilia Lord Marshal

I have managed to get a little bit more painting done for the Lord Marshal of my Burgeoning Solar Auxilia force:      The body is Anvil's gothic void suit commander while the head is from the command upgrade sprue for gothic void suits.    The hammer is from the old Coteaz kit.

The Devourers

As a World Eaters main and having recently sold my Black Legion army, I have decided to start a new project.    I really enjoyed the AoO narrative, particularly the murder curse created by Angron destroying a planet.   I recently created some WE terminators - 6 of the 12 Devourers and a DP on foot. My project is going to be a Crusade CSM army based on the Devourers starting a murder curse during a boarding action. I plan on converting loyalist factions (that my friends are playi

JULY - Back to work and back to work

So last month was a bit of a dull one. Blog-wise anyway, real life was very much full of activity. We're now coming up on 8 weeks of have two kids under two and let me tell you it is no picnic. Absolutely wonderful in many ways, but also the most exhausting thing I've ever known. Three to four hours sleep a night is doable for a bit but eventually.......well eventually you fall asleep in a presentation at work because the chair is comfy and they've dimmed the lights.   The question is
