    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

Drill Baby, Drill

DISCLAIMER: If you though I had any political intent, you have been lured into my Blog ( and the title works as intended ). And now that you arrived here, well, feel free reading to the end; after all you have already made the difficult part…   Hi folks,   This is an ode to my (almost new) Dremel 3000.     I have been the happy and satisfied owner of a bargain Chinese rotary tool that served me well for two decades. And one day the reduction gear broke. I

Kill Team - Outreach

Outreach Session After Action Report

So after a delay, the outreach session finally took place today. Despite how much I suck (more on that later), I think it went very well.   So how do I suck?   The overall summary of my suckiness is that I allowed myself to be distracted by other things. Admittedly, some of those were Real Life things and far more important than the game, but a significant chunk of the time I should have been devoting to preparing for the big day was devoted to some site stuff. I'm kind of ex

Servitors energized

Hi folks,   I needed some distraction from the black robes of my (populous and numerous) Night Goblins for the World that Was. Time to resume work on the AdMechs, starting with the Servitor clade and the kitbashed Seer I prepared in Sept. It is a small step into coming back into the fray of cybernetical sociopaths, knowing that I still have some models I initially bought for CtA25 but did not unbox yet.   The Servitors have been painted as per my usual colour scheme. But this

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 19

Well the next 500 points (1000 pts of HH done!) are done minus some chipping, weathering and black base rings.      Next 500 pts (1500 pts) is already started and should be done quickly but I need to double check my 2000 pt list to see what I am planning on taking. This month, October, is super busy between events on multiple weekends and working weekends when I am not "out of town". New Opponents and missions are listed tomorrow, so I need to really finish my round 3 Models

Bits, Prints, and Progress

In my last blog post I talked a bit about the inspiration for this project and the main theme, which is treating the new Mark X armour as just the next stage in power armour development without needing to involve Primaris Marines.   With that in mind, I’ve started raiding the bits box and digging into my stash of 3D-printed parts to come up with a test model for the project. The plan is to use standard Mk X Tacticus armour for the basic squads, and then mix in parts from older armour m

Bouargh´s miniatures´ closet clean-up

Long time no news

Hi folks.   When I’ve started this blog, which turned out into THESE blogS when the topics were split and redistributed within distinct categories, my aim was getting approx. one contribution per week. Sometimes it has been more. But recently it turns out being less. But what happened? Boredom? Real life issue? Stepping out of the hobby? Or something else.   Something else in fact. Or some things else. As it looks like it is a series of factors. But what is the root caus

"Not just a psyker, a mirror psyker, that rarest of rare beasts."- Ravenor on Zael

Horus Heresy has been taking up a lot of my hobby time. And that is not a bad thing. I do really like my Raven Guard with a planned Sisters of Silence allied force. I am also building Solar Auxilia (eventually- have the models) and building all my Mk II/ Mk III and Saturnine stuff into Space Wolves. The Space Wolves will take some time because of the amount of conversions.  My group has started discussing playing 40k again. So with me messing with Space Wolves, I looked into maybe potentially pl

Weekend Horus Heresy Update

I did not get as much done as I wanted but I need to get my Raven Guard done for round 2 of my League game.      need to finish browns, metallics, bases, decal and weather.....in 4 days.    Continued building my Space Wolves Praetor as well.     almost to the point where I need to story doing gap filling and sculpting Wolf pelts.

Wójek, the Guardian

Hi all,   I wrote this small scene as an experiment. It features a man guarding the nursery in Nowa Avestia, the headquarters of the Resistance. Now, I will confess, it is a little self-indulgent as the name Wójek is what my Polish little goddaughter and nieces call me - it means "uncle". My heart melts a little when they call me that.   If I decide to include this in the story of Comes The Sandstorm, he'll only appear in this one scene, otherwise I think it'll become redunda

Horus Heresy Updates

I really have been focused on my HH Raven Guard. With the Saturnine Box I was planning on doing Deathguard with all the Mk II and Mk III's I had. The Saturnine stuff is sitting around as I have been getting Solar Auxila for an Armored Company, which was going to be Therion Velites (Legionnes Auxila for Raven Guard),     But I have decided to go with Tallarn Reborn, not parade ready, lots, of stowage and weathered.      As I go down this trail further, I am

League army update.

A WIP update working through my squads. I felt that the blue on the Bladeguard (previous blog entry) was a bit too "bright" on the blue, so I've changed up the recipe, and now I've gone with Naggaroth Night base, light colour as MacCragge Blue, and blended back with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue (the darkest blue I had). So I'm happy with that, as I don't want the colour shift to be too prominent in that the army looks blue rather than the purple I want. Edge highlights are Teclis blue or Genesteal

Back at it!

It’s been a little while since my last update, but I’m back on track! Sadly, my enthusiasm for the 30k project fizzled out with the release of 3rd Edition Horus Heresy. I might circle back to it eventually, but for now, I’ve been taking a break from the hobby to focus on “real life.” As it turns out, I’m also in the process of moving house, which means I’ve been packing up my hobby stuff and let me tell you, I had no idea how many half-built Space Marine kits I had lying around. If you’ve seen m

"Disrupt the Enemy Lines!" Part 18

League game has been delayed.  My Opponent has to work OT the next few weeks, so we are postponing it to next week. So 11 days to get models done.      Assault Squad is getting closer to being done, bases, metallics on weapons, glow effects, highlights, touch ups, decals and weathering. Centurion is really close. base, decals, highlights, touch ups, decals and weathering.  Destroyer Assault squad needs the browns on their pouches and holsters, bases, metallics
Iron and Spirit

Masters of Fire and Steel

When one considers the genetic lineage of the Marines Adamant, as well as their close bond with the Forges of Gharant, it is no surprise that the Iron Wyrds are the most prevalent and influential of the specialist ranks within the Chapter.   Each Household maintains its own personal Armoury of weapons, equipment and vehicles, as well as fleet assets, and it is therefore not uncommon to find as many as a dozen brethren serving their Clan as Iron Wyrds, with a substantial number of Skald

Black Riders Felarch

Felarch of the Marcachi Dubh, vulgarly known as The Black Riders. These piratical Eldar are unusually disciplined and militaristic for ones of their ilk, holding to a martial code of honor and fighting savagely. Led by the Prince Ra’Tar, they have menaced the Eastern Fringe and the galactic halo for a long span. On occasion, however, they have hired themselves out to unscrupulous Imperials as mercenaries or privateers.

Jackal Company

History of Jackal Company: Part Two

With the planetary defence forces neutralised at the landing zone, the betrayal was complete. Jackal Company did not waste a second in turning the crisis to its advantage. Ignoring the scattered pockets of the starved populace still clinging to the exterior habitats, Warsmith Kord ordered the captured Guardsmen to the firing lines, forcing them to turn their guns on their former comrades who didn't know surrender, while the Iron Warriors consolidated the most vital fuel depots.   Kord

Jackal Company

History of Jackal Company: Part 1

The toxic haze clinging to the landing zone of Vosa V began to fracture, yielding to the roar of a descending void craft. It was the Frigate Pillar of Olympia, a hulking mass of grey ceramite scored with the unmistakable yellow and black chevrons of the IV Legion. The vessel settled with an almost seismic impact. Its exhausted plasma conduits vented violently into the polluted air. For a silent, strained moment, the ship loomed, its bulk an oppressive presence, pressing the small assembly of Pla

The characters of Prawa V

Hi all,   Following a suggestion from @W.A.Rorie, I'm going to summarise the main characters in each of the two stories I have written. This came about because I've been posting passages out of chronological order and a mix of the two stories. I hope this helps clear things up. As my readers will know, I do enjoy my languages and will provide some context for their names. The meaning of the names isn't terribly important, but thought it might make a point of interest. I've lived in bot
