    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

    Jagieŀŀo inspects their prizes

    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 journey to Birmingham - a Kroot story

First RTT try out

Its all very well playing individual practice games but I don't really learn where my head is at with the game until I play something properly competitive. So I signed up for the spring tournament at my FLGS   This is 2:40 minute rounds at 1500 points so its maybe slightly less time pressure than I will be facing in Birmingham. Adjusted list for the reduced points will be posted at the bottom. Even so I decided to play fixed missions every game to see how well that stands up under pres

The Lost & The Damned

The Damned are ready for their first battle

The past four months have been intense, but my Lost & The Damned force is finally ready just in time for its first event. On May 2nd and 3rd, I’ll be taking part in a Boarding Action event—the very reason this army project was started in the first place. I’ll be bringing this “Underdeck Uprising” force under the Chaos Space Marines banner, fielding a solid 56 miniatures in a 500-point format.   Once the event is over, the plan is to shift back toward an Astra Militarum army and exp

Howling Griffons 1st Co. & 10th Co Update

Well trying to power through the stress of life and issues that come with work and family life, which have kept me away from the hobby for a most of this week. I took time to get some hobbling in…   First off finished my Ancient in Terminator Armor.            and then finished my Scout Sgt by attaching him to his base            I did decal my Reiver Sgt too but did not  take pics and I still

Skull Brethren Part 8: It's not hard, its just brain surgery

Hello guys! just a small update on my World Eaters... I bought it, it arrived monday but I haven't gotten my hands on proper until today. I'm not sure if this is my largest kit I have bought. I think my Tyrannofex is bigger, but this has been one of the harder builds I have done at least in recent memory. The lower torso, the place where are the legs attach was difficult for me. If anyone asks, I'm going to say the World Eaters build this one, and they are not known for the engineerin

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,

"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

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.

"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

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.

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

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
