    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

    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

    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

Kabalites for my Ynnari - Unless they ride on their own

Hi folks,   It has been a long time since posting anything there. End of yeqr has been complicated and full of work overload. And 2025 is going to start this a similar tumultous pattern, but this will be discused another time.   After a hiatus of 4 weeks, for flu and then for spending time painting dwarves for the World that Was, I finally resumed the painting of my Kabalite reinforcement for Ynnari. I did the bodies and I had left apart the heads and weapons + the final

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

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

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

Mystery bases

Hi folks.   A very short contribution this time with some Work-in-Progress shared here. Let's see if you can guess what these bases are for:     There are some serious clues that can be found in the colour schemes (if you compare with some previous works of mine in this Blog or in my Galleries). Some clues may be not that recent for sure... But sometimes lack of update for past projects is a clue in itself...   Some recent posts in the forum may also set t

The Emperor protects...

Hi folks,   As a tribute for this Orktober 2024, my contribution is of a single grot. But such a Grot! An imperial Grot, with all the glory associated to His status.     OK, not this one, yet the colour scheme is a great source of inspiration, even if green skin does not match with green jacket. But the Napoleon Grot of mine, gift from an Ebay bitz store (I probably spent too much that time. Again), deserved being close of the historical figure.   Cr

On the workbench - Some models for October pledge

Hi folks,   Here are some of the stuff that has been slowly but surely been accumulated on my workbench.   I am usually with 2 or 3 projects at the time, in order to get enough variety in order to avoid being bored. changing model, colour pallet and universe helps me keeping the momentum, whle too much batch painting leads to need for disconnection. Whwn I was painting only SW during lock-down, I spent months with The Fang as main colour. When this happens you need a break so

CTA2024 - First and second vows in the Xeno Forum

Hi Folks,   After painting most of what I though I could in the Imperium forum, I added 2 almost "last minute" vows in the Xeno Forum: - 5 Incubis and their objective marker - for 5 or maybe 6 pts - the Yncarne   No surprise, these are a way to increase my Asuryanis though Ynnari faction play. See previous entry and probably some future ones too.   In both cases I aligned my scheme on the ones promoted on GW boxes. I am chronically lacking of creativity (t

Call to Arms 2024 - 2nd vow progress report

Hi Folks,   A very rapid update of my progress on my second vow. The Attaché and the plasma containers were completed earlier this month; the same with de Sydonian dragoons. All of these were all done in a quite a decent amount of time. But I am struggling a little bit more with the Serberys units. Yet, after a rainy WE, I've got some time to progress. Mounts are now all done for the Raider and the Sulphurhound units.     The cyberhorses were done exactly qs th

A personal insight on Slap Chop applied to scenery

Hi folks,   I tried in the past to use the Slap Chop technique on Aeldari guardians. It has not been that convincing. Lack of practice? Misunderstanding of the basics of the techniques? Lack of talent? (I personaly vote for the 3 of these).  I am anyway a little bit stubborn, so I decided to go back traying to apply it. This time on big models: the KT Plasma Generatorium.   Looked like being a fun idea at principle. This is what I´ve learned.   1. You need a pr

August hobby projects - a progress update for CTA & 12 Months of Hobby

Hi Folks,   As we reach mid of August soon: it is time to get an update on my pledges for both challenges. Shared pledges in fact, at least partially.   I indeed vowed for 12MoH 2 Ironstriders and 2 Plasma Generatorium while enlisting in CTA24 5as a second vow) the very same items plus - Serberys and 1 Attaché.   So how does it goes so far? I, of course, started by the stuff pledged for August in 12MoH. I am currently making some paint tests on the Generatorums but

Call to Arms 2024 - 1st vow complete

I Folks,   After a small break to recover my sanity after almost completed Pteraxii decided to take q shades bath (leading to a full stripping and repaint for 2 of these bat-cyborg-men) I finally completed my vow. It took me quite much time than usual in fact. But these Serberys and Pteraxii are really really requiring calm and concentration for... everything - from painting to assembly to detailling... The final result is OK, the models are gorgeous but it is definitively not a C

Call to Arms 2024 - 5th progress report

Hi folks,   I will not make it. My target of completing the last unots of my CTA24 first vow before end of week will not be achievable. Current temp rise and high humidity make any painting or modelling attempt catastrophical. paint dries on the brush and in the pot once opened, gets thick, crackle while drying...    Anyway, I have been able to complete the painting of the separated items of the Skitarii just before this hot summer time really appeared, so I have been le

Call to Arms 2024 - 4th progress report

Hi Folks,    It has been a busy week. I managed to progress quite a lot on my pledge, although it is not yet 100% completed.   At the moment I can had to the rooster the 3 Serberys and the Manipulus. The latter was supposed to be the last miniature to be painted but in the end it took over the Pteraxii.   The Raiders were configured in the standard tooling for a unit of 3: sticking to the manual. I have some others on their way and when I will expand the gang, the 3

Call to Arms 2024 - 3rd progress report

Hi Folks,    After 5 weeks of challenge, and a welcomed holiday break, I am back to the brushes since last week. these past 10 days I managed to have some progress, although less lighting fast than it isued to be last year at the same period in the previous challenge. But, hay, it is an endurance run afterall, and I may eventually boost up my productivity latter.   I started with the Serberys mounts. I have been excesively enthusiatic and I did not consider prepainting a

Joint Progress Report - CTA24 and 12 Months of Hobby

Hi Folks,   I had a dream, a dream where I could enlist different stuff for CTA24 and the 12 Months challenge. It will remain a dream. Time being what it is, a rare and limited ressource, I had no choice than enlist a comon entry for the 2 challenges in July. This common entry is the Negavolt Cultist unit (x 10), to be used as a proxy for Electropriests. I will call them Corpuscarii Zealots. They are designed as something inbetween the electrofists and the power staff, so, up

Call to Arms 2024 - 1st vow and progress report

Hi Folks,   CtA 2024 has been launch and it is time to set a first progress report.   For the moment, I decided to focus on my AdMech.

The pledged models are:   1 Admech Patrol box inc. 1 Manipulus (5pts), 3 Serberis (6 points), 10 Skitarii (10 points) and 5 Pteraxii (5 points) -

Necromunda market completed

Hi folks,   After 5 months and a half, I finally completed my Plodding along vow. Last part was the Necromunda market. This set was initially selected in order to represent a sumptown or refugee tents installed among the ruins of the Sector Fronteris that is the core of this table.    I did not enjoy painting this set. Too much small stuff that are not really useful or necesary for a gaming table (Mugs, Mung vases...) except for marking objectives, but hey, Objectives markers

KitBash Time! EngineSeer at work

After grabbing "accidentally" a GSC patrol box, on purpose to use the body to kitbash some IG regiment, I am potentially left with some bits inc. mining tools.  I then remembered this pic, unless I decided that GSC bodies would do better base for IG than Orlock gangers BECAUSE of this pic:     I am already the happy owner of enough Engineseers to fill all the slots in my AdMech army. And I have been left with one extra (remaining from a Patrol box), in desperate need for

The cost of 10th - One year later, where am I heading?

... Or almost one year later, what is the status of my "legalizing" effort to adapt my armies to 10th?   This used to be one of my first entries in this blog and I feel like it is worth setting a kind of progress report.   Remember, last year, after launch of 10th, the state of my armies was more or less: - AdMech (New Year / New Army 2023) - to be redesigned. - Eldars - requiring a big refresh.  - Death Watch, - claiming for love for the Veterans

The real Doom of the Eldar - selecting a paint scheme

Hi folks,   I am not going to epilogate on this element of Lore that saw a Craftworld assaulted by space Bugs. I will instead focus on a kind of challenge I adressed to myself: try to find some alternative variations for Guardians outfits that will keep on remindind the Saim-Hann scheme while giving a little bit of variations. It is a kind of malediction or Doom as in the end the process I experienced is still unconclusive. Such a disgrace for the one on the Way...   Generall
