    By Bouargh

    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

    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

    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

    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

The Terror and The Truth

Orren Malith

The blade came free with a slick sound, suction trying to hold it tight in the body of the broken... thing. No longer was it a Night Lord, not even a Warp Talon touched by the fickle aether. This was something darker, more bestial and savage. A creature that kept the form of an Astartes but thought alien thoughts and bled black, stinking blood.   The Gloamclaws encircled the dueling pair, flickers of warp energy running up and down their shadowy forms. The winner watched them in turn,

K's Salamanders - Unbound Flame

/!\Termination Protocols Initiated/!\ - Painting Season!

"Unto the anvil brothers! The hairy one is mine."    - Sgt. Amfell, Salamanders 4th company -   Greetings fraters et sorores!    It is finally, finally warm enough to prime some miniatures. For now at least. Among this weekend's batch were five Assault Terminators and the new Vulkan He'stan. My kitbashed Tu'Shan also got a touchup; I'd removed the flames from his hammer which necessitated a bit more spray on the weapon. Just wasn't happy with the sculpt. I'm still new to doin

"Our will shall be our weapons, our faith shall be our armour."

Canticle of Absolution   I'm tired....It has a been a long rough week in the real world. I barely had to time hobby, between tons of work issues and little bit of home life drama. I am drained. I have been pushing myself hard this week at work. I am behind in my 12 MoH vows and have 6 days to complete the models the 4 Scouts, Terminator ancient and start my Adepta Sororitas Celestian Insidiants Kill Team model.  I feel the tension in my shoulders. The stress of not working on models is

"It’s not a bike, it’s a chopper baby”

Hi folks,   After compiling a series of mugshots (or almost) of some of the terrain I own vs. the new teased terrain area templates for 11th, this whole stuff made me dive again into some of the previous iterations of terrain rules in 40k.   I am playing since 1st Ed. Yet I do not own every rule or campaign book and, in the past decade, my gaming rate decreased significantly. What I can share is basically a partial and naturally biased view of my past experiences (or what I

The Terror and The Truth

Veydras Kaith

The squad moved in silence. For beings as large as they were, the lack of sound in their advance was disturbing and unnatural. The darkness of the lower hive hid them, midnight blue armor blending into the natural shadows. Only their pale helms showed, skull-masked visages that floated like ghosts.   The leader, Veydras Kaith, directed them with blink-signs and hand-talk. No vox signal to give away their position, no loud war cries or terror-calls to announce their presence. Those gutt

The building uprising of Prawa V

Back from the desert sands

I've been away for a bit and am so glad to be back in my own home, my own bed, with peace as I drift to sleep at night. Long story short - I have been a bit unwell. Things are sorta on the mend, but it'll be a long and dusty road before I reach that ridge and see the world laid out before me again. In the meantime, I enjoyed reading the boards while I was away but struggled to write. Though, that said, there were some real, uh, 'characters' on the ward I was on. I will write about them later.

BrassClaw's Collection of Projects

New edition, new army...maybe?

So with the dawn of 11th edition Warhammer 40,000 coming this June. I have been pondering about maybe starting a new project. My Tyranids are basically done, I probably won't be adding more unless there's some drastic changes. My Space Marines and World Eaters are in playable states, they might get some additional stuff but I'm in no rush to complete them fully. My traitor guard are kinda in a holding pattern state. I ordered some non GW traitor guard infantry from game found (similar to Kicksta

Howling Griffons- 1st Company Project- pt4

Well back from vacation and I did not accomplish my goal of 20 Terminators and 4 Teleport homers......   I came up short by 1 box of Terminators and a teleport homer.         And I built the Ballistus Dreadnought too. He may have some small arms battle damage started and need to do more to him. I brought plastic cement and Super glue with me. Well I thought the super glue was a new bottle but is was not and was bad so I could not work on the their

Ashen Sentinels - an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter

I’ve been in a hobby slump, and that’s ok.

Greetings Fraters, this is a different sort of update from me - it’s an update of, well, very little or no progress. Basically, I’ve struggled with my motivation to paint over the last month-to-six weeks.    There are a few reasons for this; the biggest is that we had a bereavement in the family a couple of months ago. We lost a very close family member following a long and determined fight against cancer; so it was a loss that was expected, but nonetheless difficult. Honestly, if anyone

Bouargh´s miniatures´ closet clean-up

An update for plogging along

Hi folks,   One quarter of 2026 has been spent already, and it is a good moment for stopping 5 minutes and considering the progress made on my plodding along project. And the way that remains to be walked.   The project has been defined as a starting point as a scenery project, mainly directed toward addition of scenery elements to my home-made set of items for an Ashland themed table. I wanted to add some elevation to a rather flat design. My main idea was to focus on a big

Diorama finished

Finished up the diorama, Unexpected Finds, which was painted in about 3 days over six/seven hours. I now know why the really good painters do things in sections, as getting into some of the areas was not easy and I had to do more clean-up than I wished. Still happy with it, especially since it was basically a "free" diorama that I was able to put together with leftover/unused kits that were sitting around my hobby space.     Up next for painting is finishing my

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part III

Hi Folks,   And what about homemade terrain? I have started talking about it there:   In general anything special and personnal (in terms of scenery) will require being able to adapt oneself, find new solutions by proposing taylor made templates… an example bellow is my elevated road; it requires 3 large rectangle templates. Very specific? May be, unless we will require adapting ourselves to this new rule setting. But does it needs to be depicted as a terrain? Maybe rules wi

The Terror and The Truth

The Pale Wake

He crouched in the alleyway, damp palms pressed against the crumbling walls on either side. There was something here; something that didn't belong in his world of narrow alleys, creaking shanty houses, and bellowing manufactorums. It wasn't the gangs like the Razor Kids, or the Pain-Jacks, wasn't any of the obscura-freaks or ghast-heads.    No, this was something worse. It was here in the dark, the sideways tunnels that were avoided by the drug workers and the Lexmen. It had been here

Hi Folks,   This is the second entry related to the topic. First can be found here:     1.      Vertigus, Bheta-Decima and Charadon – Mechanicus sector like stuff Generally speaking all items from these series will fit the templates. There are however some comments. First about gantries: if they fit the largest line, the amount of these is rather imited atm and as such the over representation of gantries will tend to disappear of be reduced. Unless it is comb

Changing up the blog slightly

So I've decided to move over all of my Chaos stuff to this blog, rather than just focus on just the Shrikeborn. Since I plan on now combining the Shrikeborn and Ebon Word in-game, I will combine them into this blog instead of having a blog for the Shrikeborn and a WIP forum thread for the Ebon Word.    That means that I will slowly be moving over pics and lore from the Ebon Word thread into distinct posts into this blog. Since I do have a couple of fully painting Ebon Word units, they

An inventory for some of existing Terrain kits - Part I

Hi Folks,   While I have had an insight on the potential impact of the teased terrain area templates shared by GW on WarCom (#New40k – Take cover with updated terrain rules) and in line with the rule changes for 11th, I kept on playing with my mobile phone and cardboard templates, just to see how my more “corporate” pieces of terrain fit in this whole perspective. Let’s have a look.   1.      Battle for Maccrage One of my favorite set. The crashed Aquilla lander was one

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

I'll be back......

So tomorrow the Wife and I are leaving for a weekend away from the kids. We have rented a cabin with a private hot tub and are doing an unplugged weekend. She was very specific and said books and hobbies only. Electronics limited, my army building apps are fine but not sure how the cell service will be and it does have Wi-Fi, but not the point of an unplugged weekend. So I packed up basing supplies, bases, models, glues, tools, etc.   But what is with the Terminator References....the "

Votann, DA, Necromunda, and Inquisition weirdos

Just got some bits in and went on a little building spree. Included in the order was a single stele from the Necron Convergence of Dominion- did not really realize how big they were. It will still work for the base of my Nigthbringer count-as, but might just have to make the angle it is resting on a little more extreme, as it being 7 inches tall itself means that it is almost as big as the Nightbringer alone. So, that is on my project log to potentially get done next month.  The rest of the orde

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Phase 2 - Game 3

Madmen. Charging, snarling transhumans turned into raving beasts that spoke of nothing but blood and skulls. Revving chainblades and jagged steel swung from their gene-enhanced forms.   World Eaters. Astartes touched by the Chaos power known as Khorne. No strategy but to charge and hew. Unfortunately it would work this time, as the attack struck the Gardhird before an adequate plan could be implemented. The only thing left was to delay the attack and retreat with as many resources as p
