    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

    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

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Skeldr Járnvardr - Steeljack Elder

Unlike most Steeljack Elders, who earn their mantle after centuries of service, Skeldr Járnvardr rose to the rank with unprecedented speed. Forged in the crucible of constant conflict after the fall of the Shattered Star Kindred, Skeldr is a product of war’s immediacy rather than its long memory. His frame is newer, sleeker, and tuned for rapid engagement- a Steeljack built not to endure ages, but to dominate the present.   Where older Elders move with ponderous inevitability, Skeldr s

Echo-Delvr Karvyr - Arkanist Evaluator

Among the Solbond Gardhird, few figures inspire the same mixture of awe and unease as the Arkanist Evaluator Karvyr. He is old — truly old — an Ironkin whose core‑logic predates even the earliest records of the Shattered Star Kindred. Karvyr wandered the void long before Trokk the Denier forged his oath, charting forgotten systems, mapping derelict vault‑holds, and delving into data‑ruins so ancient their origins blur into myth. His title, Echo‑Delvr, comes from his uncanny ability to extract me

Skull Brethren Part 4: Blessed and Possessed

So when the World Eaters codex landed I was a little mixed about the eightbound. Maybe it was because we were hoping for Red Butcher Terminators, maybe it was because there's was too many teeth on the exalted eightbound's armour. They have grown on me since then.  They kinda fit in a strange role as the world eater possessed as the specialist assault unit. With regular eightbound being heavy infantry killers and the exalted kin being monster and tank hunters. I typically run 2x3

Weekly Update #6

Work has been busy these past few weeks, so didn’t have time to write up much. Also no pictures this entry cause I need to take them.   Over the weekend I pivoted on the projects, switching from CSM/Orks to marines. Just felt like painting up my Hellblasters for my UM 5th that I have in the background. This did remind me I had 5 hellblasters in the colour of the Mantis Warriors. So wanting to do something different and have a wargear correct Gravis captain I built a spare I had with th

Pointy and Spiky

The walking deads

Hi folks,   As part of the last step before considering my Aeldarii army complete, I had last year identified a few of units I’d targeted including: Wraithguards, Dark Reapers and Ynnari Reaver jetbikes. If the last two are still projects, the Wraithguards are now a reality. The models were built with axes and shields. I feel that the look is better than the double katana swords which do not really fit with the idea I’ve made myself on how a wraith construct should move itsel

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Phase 1 - Game 2

Skeldr let out an electronic burst of frustration. If he had been biological, sweat and fatigue would have been dripping off of his frame. As it was, his bio-mechanical muscles trembled and the processors in his head were frazzled. The Imperium's Blood Angels had been a hard fight, but upon reaching a mining location his expedition had been hit by the chaos-infused sorcerers of the Thousand Sons legion. If only he had bargained for a Grimnyr or two from the High Kahl....   The Votann h

"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me."

So it starts with a Howl....

So I started working on my "test" models for the Khymara Night Camo Howling Griffons with a scout squad.  The Scout squad was going to be part of my 1st Co & 10th Co Imperial Fist army which I decided against.  The build was based off this art work and used Black Templar bits.     The actual build           I drilled out the bolters, cleaned up the model line and did some minor repairs from them sitting on the desk.

Inquisitorial supervisor

Hi Folks.   After my recent addition of Imperial agents units (Rogue trader retinue, Breachers and Inquisitorial retinues) I have decided to close the loop and add an inquisitor model to this group so that I might eventually field a cohesive and coherent force, either as a stand alone army with some (old) DW units, or as allied in Imperial forces. Among the various options that were opened for selection I had identified some ooP models on ebay, all in the same range of prices (mor

Metal Head Armory Upcoming Campaign- War over the Khymara Sub Sector

Well my Gaming Group is getting ready for the our upcoming campaign game. And once again the battles will be in the Khymara Sub Sector. My main army will be my Adepta Sororitas from the Order of the Parthenon and the other forces of Ecclesiarchy. This will be supported by an Inquisitorial Conclave to include Grey Knights, Exorcists Chapter, and the Militarum Tempestus of the Psian Jakals assigned to an Ordo Xenos Inquistor.  As I look toward the future, I keep thinking about adding a Marines, no

In Service of the Imperium- W.A.Rorie's Blog

aaaahhhhh

First off....Getting old sucks.   I had plans to paint models this weekend and well while watching the kids Saturday as wife was having a much needed pamper day, we started playing sports in the backyard. Later that day my right shoulder is killing me, not just the back shoulder but the front, top, and down the arm. Good ole shoulder tendonitis flare up. but this time it was is bad. Balms, OTC meds, and rest all not helping. I had to order a brace of Amazon to help with pain Saturday n

March for Mars

Hi folks.   French speaking people will catch the play on words. Others might too as it is not that subtle: March/Marz/Marzo/Mars… all stand for the current month. And as these are linked to the roman god of war that left its name for the third month of the year, it would be a miss for an AdMech fan not to catch the opportunity (There is no valid reason for Greenskins getting Orktober and other faction not seizing options to do the same if possible, is there?).   So March for

The Gellar Field has Failed!

12 MoH: A look back at February, and a look forward...

Although it came down to the wire...I managed to finish my February 12 Months of Hobby vow way close to the deadline. But done is done!   In hindsight, I wish I had taken more care on the highlights and left deeper shadows and done a brighter high tone as the final step.  After a few nights thought this isn't a big enough deal that I expect to go back and touch them up.  Rather, I'll carry forward the lessons learned for the small number of Khorne daemons I have left in the backlog.  I

Skull Brethren Part 3: The Price of Failure

Chaos is basically gambling with your soul. Bet big and you might become a Daemon Prince. Lose on that bet and some real bad things can happen to you. You are also betting against your battle brothers. Each of you are trying  to survive but also trying to  gain favor of Chaos Gods. World Eaters with the butcher's nails, are always compelled towards violence.  Some say that Chaos is a ladder, so lets look a the bottom rung.    Helbrute lore is fun.  It's a punishment, you failed and you

12 Month of Hobby Update- March Vow #2 update #1

Not much done, but I should have time this weekend to get stuff done....maybe   Fist up the other day I built my Seraphim     But forgot to drill the bolt pistol on one the seraphim...   Last night, I drilled the 2 bolt pistols I missed the other day and glued the bases to the toppers and added the broken columns. I added some basing (fine gravel and tile grout) to gap fill, and add that broken column feeling.        In NON 12
The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Phase 1 - Game 1 : The beginning!

Skeldr hefted his weapons with a whining of servos. He was not quite nervous, as the Ironkin rarely experienced an extreme emotion such as that, but he was slightly apprehensive. This was his first solo command after all. The High Kahl, Trokk the Denier, had accepted the Steeljack Elder's proposal for an expedition. Trokk would fund the expedition and even lend his sword in battle, but Skeldr would lead it and take all responsibility for the success or failure on his own.   The tall St

The building uprising of Prawa V

So, I have joined a writing group

So, I have joined a local writing group. They meet in the library about four minutes' walk from my house, which is rather convenient. It is a little intimidating having all these pros around me while I whitter on about my stuff. However, I got some good, constructive criticism. I think half the problem with the feedback is that, due to my time in radio and language skills, I can inflect better than most when I read. I think I should get someone else to read my stuff next month, rather than have

Evil Eye's Butterfly Brain Induced Hobby Nonsense

Oh yes, I have a blog! (Also more Blender nonsense)

Somehow I completely forgot about the blog system here. For three years. Clearly I am a very clever boy.   Anyway, a LONG while ago I started work on trying to make a 3D printable Rhino based on the Mk. 1. However, this ground to a halt as A: I realized there are quite a few Mk. 1 Rhino STLs, both more detailed renditions and faithful reproductions of the original kit (including one that is so accurate it can be used as a source of spare parts for actual Mk. 1 plastic kits!), B: it was

Chapter Master Glenn Mi'Kell is Finished!

I'm on a roll! That's 4 models finished this year, and it's only March!    Armour is now finished, and based to match the rest of my army (I may add some grassy bits, but that's not as important). Armour paint was a gloss black base coat, with Green Stuff World Cobalt Blue Chameleon paint (the same I used over the white on the Celestian Insidiant, but that had different results as it reacts differently over different base coats).

Weekly Update #5

So now working on both the Ork and Chaos patrols at the same time cause the lining on these marines are causing me headaches.    I did get the Dark apostle, warboss (mostly), a boy and the Turox done.      I;m going to start placing magnets in the bases of these like I did with my nids so they will be easy to carry in the maglock system I have been swapping to.  Also planning to set up a sort of display later as I'm going to start working on my den
