    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

The Exorcists- Enochian Guard

The Enochian Guard is an elite formation of Orisons* in the Exorcists Chapter. Making up the Veterans of the Chapter's 1st Company, they typically are equipped with Terminator Armour. The Guard is named after Enoch Trismegistus, the Exorcists very first Chapter Master. The Enochian Guard pride themselves on being Daemon slayers, and membership to its numbers carries a requirement of having slain a manifested Daemon in single combat.   So I keep running the idea of running Exorcist

"After a period of recuperation,...."

"....the subjects were instructed in the methods of combating the Daemonic, trained in the use of the 666 verses of the Book of Exorcisms and equipped with the weapons of an Exorcist. The two companies were then put into action on a Daemon-infested world on the northern fringes of the Eye of Terror. With a squad of the Grey Knights held in reserve, the Exorcist Space Marines achieved a kill ratio of 97:1. Impressive under normal circumstances, but against the Daemonic, I'm sure you'll agree that

Introduction and Author's Notes

The Inferno Wardens Chapter

My third foray into DIY chapter creation was the Inferno Wardens chapter. This grew out of a long-simmering concept about creating a chapter based on the Space Wolves rules, and it was impelled by @Greyall's challenge to members to present a character from their DIY chapter, with the winning entry being awarded a drawing (Greyall was/is an artist with a distinctive style). That challenge was posed 13 years ago today and can be seen here.   What follows is a summary of the development p

Shadows in the Void 2025 Kill Team - Quæstors Assemble!

I'll be using the Legionary Kill Team (gasp!) to represent my very loyal Fire Claws Adeptus Astartes kill team. There are three main reasons for this: No Primaris. It's not that I'm against Primaris. It's just that I'm representing a kill team from the Chapter prior to the introduction of Primaris. Librarians. The Fire Claws are known for having a large and influential Librarium and I want to include a battle-psyker in my kill team. Daemon weapons. The Fire Claws collect and,

The Relictors are dead! Long live the Fire Claws!

Since I'm working on a kill team for the Knives in the Shadows 2025 challenge (you can enter the challenge here, and since that challenge requires me to provide some background, I felt it appropriate to discuss the reasoning behind my (poor?) choices.   If you examine my pledge in that challenge, you'll see that I committed myself to a kill team from the Fire Claws Chapter. Most of you will probably recognize that name, and many of you may know that it is the original (?) n

"By my heart I spurn thee..."

Well another weekend has come and gone and well I got more done on my Exorcists.      I really need to get cracking on my 12 Months of Hobby Vow, but work has been disagreeing with my hobby time....along with waiting on bases to arrive (expected this week) so hopefully I can crank out the 6 Death Watch kill team members and do an easy scheme on the Necrons.

By my will I deny thee......

So I finally started working on my Exorcists Angel of Death Kill Team as part of my Knives in the Shadows vow,     Previously on my Exorcists I used Rub and Buff metallic paint/ wax buff.  This time the models are being primed Army Painter Matte Black then sprayed with Plate Mail Metal.  Once dried a mixture of Speedpaint 2.0 Medium and Carmine Dragon 1:2 mixture applying to the armor.      the color seemsto be a shade darker which is fine.

Well Happy New Years all and well the first post of the New Year will be #125.    Well as I proceed down the path of the Long Vigil, I keep thinking of the basing scheme I want to do for my  Deathwatch.  I could continue with my base schemes:   Urbans: Shown on my Grey Knights    On My Skitarii Marshall (WIP)   Exorcists Scout Squad Shu'kar   54th Psian Jakals   My Horus Heresy Ravenguard    Temple

Exorcist Scout Squad Shu'kra

Originally I wanted these guys done for when Kill Team: Hivestorm was released. I got close but didn't finish them. And besides building models with the kids, I really have not painted anything. They were so close too. Just had to do some skin highlights, weathering, and bases.  And with all the new Kill Team Starter coming out, Phobos Strike Team Kill Team ordered, and having 5 of the reprint Space Marine Heroes Series 4 models (I ordered a single eliminator and a Captain to round out the team)

"Think of your Inquisition's pet Adeptus Astartes mongrels -- the Exorcists."

The Exorcists Chapter     One of my favorite Loyalist Space Marine Chapters is Exorcists. I am torn with them being Sons of Dorns or are they Successors to Grey Knights. Currently I am reading the Kindle short stories "Within These Walls" ebook and then I'll read the "The Empty Place" from the Successor Novel before reading "Oath of Damnation. "    This is one army I have thought about starting and never have.  But I am thinking possible a Kill Team of Scouts and a

Call To Arms Update #3

Well I hoped to get more done this weekend then I actually did but between the health issues, kids, errands, work issues, and in the end result I made a mental mistake that resulted in my not being able to prime the models. I washed the models put them in the tub to dry and because of the cats I put the lid on it.....which did not allow them to dry fully.      With the 4th of July this week here in the United States, I have a 4 day weekend so I plan on getting them all primed,

General Update and what next post Call to Arms

It has been 10 days since I have posted....... time for an update   Well I got the main gun built and mounted on my Cerebus and that's all the real hobby stuff I was able to accomplish in that time.  I did get to see and hang out for with my local gaming group 06/22 for a few hours but not long enough to play a game, mainly it was to hang out an pick up my preorders, my part of our group orders, and drop off stuff I traded/ were giving to them.

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep

Well it has been a week, not so much work related but I finally found time to hobby. I had to decide between painting Sisters of Silence (now that I have all 50 infantry models), the Custodes, or start building the last 2 armor vehicles I have.  Well the Kratos won out. This is were it ended last night.      Just turret and accessories to do.  I am hoping to get it done and get the Cerebus done too  before Saturday so I can focus on painting the rest of the Call to Arms vow
