    Square Pants Bob

    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

    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

Chapter Master and start on Sternguard

Updates to my Chapter Master, and blocking in the colours for the Sternguard.  First off, CM: After a base of Vallejo glossy black all over (this is base for the chameleon paint), the gold/bronze trim has been picked out, along with the gubbins. I'll get these all painted up before doing the main armour colour, because correcting with black will be easier and less obvious than touching up chameleon paint! The cape is only stuck on with blu-tak. I've learned that lesson with other mo

Loxodon Guard Part 2: Concepts and Characters

Coming up with army lists and character concepts is one of the most enjoyable parts of this hobby for me. When I was working on my little kill team I went through a few ideas. First, I wanted to incorporate white into the colour scheme. Since my 3 other armies didn't have any white. So armies like Raven Guard and White Scars came to mind.   I ultimately chose a homebrew chapter because like most people who do homebrews, I didn't want to be tied down to a set of rules or fluff. Then I s

New Fiction: What Man Did Not Make

The vox-bead clicked once as the channel closed.   Chaplain Urraca remained motionless, helm inclined, as though awaiting a response that doctrine insisted would not come. The report had been delivered precisely: identification, coordinates, mission status. All brothers deceased. Objective secured. Requesting retrieval.   There was no benediction. No acknowledgment rune. Only silence.   He lowered his hand.   The void station was cooling. Heat bled from fr

Weekly Update #2

So I wasn't able to finish the Eldar CP as I had hoped. Got too distracted. I did get the guardians mostly done. I just need to add some details and for that I need a new brush cause my fine detail grew a mohawk. Also need one to redo the cracks on the jetbikes. I’m picking one up tonight.   Here are some picts though of the eldar in their ice scheme.      You can see more of my eldar in this old thread.

Making the Dirgebound and Mortals

So I go the last of the Strikeborn in, my terminators and all of the mortal fools. These were super easy builds because none really required any additional modeling- the Contekar termies are full of all the ridiculous NL details you want, and the Nomads have loads of character without needing anything other than a decent paintjob.   Dirgebound (Counts as a regular CSM termie squad, with 4 accursed weapons, 4 combi-weapons, 1 powerfist, and 1 heavy flamer)   Traitor

The Blackpelts - A Wolf Scouts Kill Team

With the dust settling on the holidays I finally had time to complete a project I've been working on for the last couple of months, and with that completion comes my first blog post in...a long time. Space Wolves have always been one of my favorite chapters, and when the wolf-scouts came out I was excited to paint up more sons of Russ. I wanted the "lore" behind this pack to be that they were Primaris marines that had drunk from the Cup of Wulfen and had begun to exhibit signs of the curse. T

Chapter Master, and a Kill Team

I have done a bit of minor kit bashing on Calgar to make my Chapter Master Glenn Mi'Kell (Kudos to anybody that gets that Scottish childhood reference!)   I don't like doing bare heads much, but as he's the Chapter Master, he needs an impressive beard!       Because he's a bit special I'll be using the Green Stuff World chameleon Cobalt Blue paint on his armour. Should hopefully look good!    Also, because I'm starting Kill Team at my games clu

Termagants

Finished termagants brood and first ripper swarm. Like models, even though they're push fit. But due to how they sculpted it's fine even if you make a full brood of same sculpts they looks great.   Painting this guys is a truly rest after Militarum infantry. May be it's a different scheme or models. I don't know. But I'm sure this year I'll going with alternate painting. IG and Nids.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Obviously it has been far too long since I first started this blog, and even longer since I first had this idea. I think I have finally decided on the forces for the chess set.   While modern chess sets often feature white versus black, fancier chess sets often feature sides of different colors, including browns and reds. This typically depended upon the materials being used for the pieces. For my part, I've long planned on a red versus black arrangement. My two dilemmas revolved aroun

12 MoH 2026 - a plodding along project

Hi Folks,   Last Xmas I did something I never thought I would: I have ordered some MTO stuff, with the Tectonic drill and some Machinery (crane and so on). FOMO drived me.    Now that this is comited as a purchase, it is time to plan doing something from that materiel. I have bet the delivery will not be so soon, so it leaves time for planning. And the plan that came to my mind was to increase seriously my terrain collection with some elements to define a mining camp/excavati

Tiny Marines make a come back

Hi Folks,   It has been time since I resumed painting of my Epic era Space Marines. Let's say that I am resuming my resumé. This time I set the gear shift up and when beyond just colour testing. I have gone for 2 Companies, one Battle and one Veteran, plus a supporting inquisitor and some DEvastators plus Speeders. This is a good first bunch for 2026 12 MoH.   The battle company has been set with the red paultrons. I have tried to stick to the Adeptus Astartes codex mark

Almost done

I've almost finished the first edit and pass across the first story, Comes the Sandstorm. I am very eager to either paste the whole thing here or pop a link in for your opinions.   This passage is from the next story, One More Mile. It's just a teaser. I'm probably going to be giving away a little too much with this, but it's, to my mind, a powerful scene, when you understand the context (which I am not going to tell you, right now!). Czajka is probably my favourite supporting characte

Loxodon Guard Part 1: In the Beginning...

Have you ever pick up a project based whim? or maybe you were given some models from a loved one and continued on with it?    My Space Marine project started when I won a raffle at my FLGS. my prize was a plastic bag that had a few random sprues in it. I remember there was some Mk3 Horus Hersey Marines, a Beastmen Shaman, a Imperial Guard Commissar (the older one with the plasma pistol & sabre) and 5 Intercessors. I didn't think much of my prize at the time. Until the pandemic hit

Skulking horrors

Now I started my little, though very hungry Tyranid forces. I decided to continue my theme of lizard/zaurus theme I used for my reveners kill team. Reworked a bit skin tone by altering midtone. And make unified for whole force color scheme. Ivory/pinkish belly, new ivory-orange-brownish red scythes/talons/barbs.

Ready.

Astra Militarum models unassembled: 0 Astra Militarum models unpainted: 0   That's all folks! For now I have all my IG minis completed. That's such a great project, I can't remember I was so satisfied earlier in hobby, may be because I'd mostly playing and painting was a tax to pay.       Next batch of Elrins XIV should arrive mid-end of May.

Weekly Update #1

Wanted to keep this a little active so will try and keep up with weekly updates.   Work continues on painting the FateBreakers, I have some details to do on the guardians and also found out I only have 1 unit of bikes actually done. I did find the other squad i had started and added that to the painting table. Also once the weather warms up again I’m going to finish priming the Chaos units to get the Dark Zealots started.   I also confirmed I have the bodies to complete the S

New Fiction: The Return of the Green Knight

THE RETURN OF THE GREEN KNIGHT     The strike cruiser Verdant Oath did not sound a welcoming chime.   The Thunderhawk settled into its cradle amid drifting vapor and cooling metal. From its hold emerged a lone figure clad in black ceramite.   Brother Martin bore the sigil of the Deathwatch upon his pauldron. The Inquisitorial mark still clung to his armor, dull and intrusive, like a scar that refused to fade.   No honor guard awaited him.  

Your unusual ogryns are finished... Or not?

Last bullgryn is done, I don't make a story for him, so just the bonehead. I have a great plan for him but failed due to lacklustre of my painting skills. So I make some bloody mess around. And tried new approach for power weapon with blood. It should looks like field burns blood from maul.   Technically squad is done. But I wanna more ogryns and bullgryns. It's like infantry, you just can't have enough. So I'll add more, and each gonna be somehow unique folk.

Any suggestions on how to Paint The Green Templar?

I've picked out a color scheme I like, thought out most of the various markings for ranks.   Black kneepad for basic troopers, gold for Sergeant/Veterans/Lieutenant/Captain   Blue for Librarian   Red for Tech-Priests   White for Apothecarion   The rest of the Armour will match the rest of the army. I never liked the specialists looking radically different from the rest of the force.   These guys keep it simple. They already have gold pa

"Even in Death, I Still Serve!"

Well no hobby time between errands most of the weekend and I did purchase something off Etsy.    Mk IV Upgrade kit for a Redemptor....     And of Course Lascannon arm.    True Scaled Dreadnought coming sooner....   Big Question is how much of this project is salvageable.
