    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

Calgar and Vitrix Honour Guard Completed!

After finishing Calgar and his Honour Guard before the weekend, I was stuck waiting for my basing supplies to arrive before I took a few completed shots.   All in all, I'm really happy with how things have turned out. Sure, improvements can still be made, which will show on the next models I do, which, incidentally, are my Leviathan Marines for the Combat Patrol.   Group Shot   Honour Guard 1   Honour Guard 2   Calgar

Recipe for colours used to date.

Keeping in mind this blog is designed to showcase the TTCombat paints, and my (limited) painting ability with them, here is the recipe I have been using to date.     The main blue armour is as follows:   Throwing Shade Blue and Thinner Medium mixed in a 3:2 ratio for the base layer. Poster Boy Blue and Thinner Medium mixed in a 2:1 ratio for the mid-tone. Vega Blue Grey and Thinner Medium mixed in a 2:1 ratio for the edge highlights.   The "whit

Medical emergency, delays in shipments.

Greetings,   Unfortunately, my work trip has taken a turn. I am now dealing with a family medical emergency in a foreign country and it looks like my return date may not be the 22nd of June. Obviously my focus is on my family member's health crisis at this time. All inquiries, and indeed all order shipments will be replied to as I am available, until my eventual return to the office and full availability. If you have an outstanding order and would like to cancel at this time,

First Post: Let's Go

To showcase what somebody of average ability can do with the upcoming TTCombat Paints, I present my first Ultramarines in their current WIP state.     Yes, they are all in Subassemblies.  I'm also going to be adding my progress once my Leviathan box arrives. I'm going to update my blog with significant progress, rather than in a set schedule.

A Look lnto the Past....or May 2020, my First Commissions

It's March 2020, and I've just been told my hours were being scaled back from 24hrs p/w to 9hrs p/w, due to a certain global pandemic. I have a mortgage, bills, a family to feed, so I decided to take the plunge and start Commission Painting. I'd been considering it for a while, the biggest draw for me to commission painting is, that I would get to paint models and factions I would never buy for myself. I had recently discovered Fiverr (a website where people post their (mostly digital) skills, a

Manufacturer spotlight: Wargames Atlantic and the damned

Greetings all.   I was thinking about the best ways to introduce my web store and the product lines I carry to all of the hobbyists here on Bolter and chainsword.   So what I've decided to do is a manufacturer spotlight series discussing the various manufacturers that I carry and what they can be used for to add your hobby collections.   Starting with Wargames Atlantic. Opened in 2019, war games Atlantic has proceeded to trail blaze a path in the hard plastic wargam
