    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

    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

"We are the Hammer!"

Rites of Armoring

"I am the Hammer!"   The armoring serfs are putting on body glove. The Fiber muscles will enhance my strength. The body glove will allow me to interface with my armor. It will protect me and help me remain stable, and interface with my weapons.    "I am the sword in His hand."   Next is my Aegis Terminator armor. The Powered Exoskeleton, has been worn by my Brothers before me. Their names are etched inside the chest armor to remind me that I am not Immortal.

Not GSC - Rogue Trader Entourage Part 1

Hi folks,   For a while now I have pledged to myself a kind of oath of honor: I will not buy any model that is (too) obviously deemed to be shelved out a short/medium range. It looks like I have failed with the pledge and betrayed that oath. Indeed, I have just acquired a box of Navy Breachers. And a set a characters from various GW settings in order to gather my very own custom made Rogue Trader Entourage. But I am not playing GSC, even if, as you will see, some or even most of t

"We are the Hammer!"

Canticle of Absolution

"Praise the Emperor for His sacrifice, as He endures so shall we. We who are hunters of Daemons shall strive in His name eternally. We, the Order of the Hammer, shall delve into dark shadows, We shall seek out the tainted, we shall pursue the vilest evil. It is we who stand guard, our eternal watch shall not fail, For we are the Ordo Malleus!" I am surrounded by Grey Knight Chapter Serfs and Servo Skulls. We are in my arming chambers aboard the Sword of Titan, Strike Cruiser.

"We are the warriors of the Grey Knights, armoured in faith, shielded by devotion..."

"...and armed with purity of purpose."   Well Tortuga bodies, basing, weathering, crackling paste, tufts, and capes are here.  I am short 5 power armor bodies.  but I do not have all the Terminator bodies I need so I'll to do a third order.                            I do have a league Crusade coming up and I am leaning toward playing my Grey Knights.

"Primarch-Progenitor, to your glory ..."

"I long for death, not because I seek peace, but because I seek the war eternal."

Well I kept going back and forth on building Imperial Fists or Exorcists for my Crux Terminatus box.  And my Tortuga, basing, and cloaks all arrived for my Grey Knight Project.  Still waiting on my Army Painter order to arrive, but Spray Gunner order arrived so I'll be setting up quick disconnects on my airbrushes. I really need to change my Spray booth filter, this week too.    It was a cold and wet few days here and glad I had water traps on my airbrushes and compressor. Even paintin

Siege of Mezoa campaign launch

My local group tends to run 1-2 loosely themed campaigns a year. The first one of 3.0 is themed around the Siege of Mezoa. The campaign centers around control of 3 rings of loyalist fortifications (Mezoa Primus, Outlying Defenses, Orbital Defense Grid). Each fortification gives a different bonus to the loyalists. The traitor's objective is to gain control of all three. The loyalists can end the siege if they are able to maintain control of all three defensive rings and complete a special apex mi

Sydonian Skratos

Hi folks,   Yesterday's and today's were the first snows of this (not yet started) winter's season. Drop in temperature and bad weather kept me stuck at home, with time to commit a small paint job on this pure steampunk model: the Sydonian Skratos.   It was missing to my rooster sheet and I went for one fit with the Jezzail (as Transuranic Arquebuses are already largely present with my Battleline Skitarii units). I dunno if I will ever field this titltman, but I needed o

Ordo Maledictum: 164th Detachment "Ash Vultures"

ELUSIVE SALVATION: THE 164TH

The Valkyrie bucked hard in the crosswinds, warning runes screaming across the cockpit bulkhead. MASON heard the pilots arguing over the vox—too much flak, too much turbulence, too much everything.   “Ghost Lead, negative drop. Repeat, negative drop,” the pilot barked. “You jump now, you die before the chute arms.”   MASON keyed his helm mic. “Open the ramp.”   “Absolutely not—”   He didn’t wait. Manual override hissed beneath his hand. The ramp locks clan

U.F.O. 2 - Look who's coming for dinner

Hi folks, Remember this Unidentified Flying Object?:       Well, after years waiting to receive some care and attention, it has been sentenced to paint. Kudo to Jokaero Painting Challenge… I went for a black and yellow scheme, at least for the Rokkits and the oversized chaincleaver. Because at this size it ain’t choppa nor chainsword anymore, is it? And the banner for this article fits the scheme too, did you notice? Such a sense of detail… Because it is better get
The flying circus

No choice

His thoughts and feelings were in disarray. Who knew all turned this way? No answer in the silence of the empty strategium. He did what he shall. Didn't he? Headed to the place he was at ease. He locked the door and engaged the emergency override. No one can open it from without. He was sitting in a chair when something blew outside. He rose his head in ignorance, his glance was void. Then cracking sounds outside, again and again. “Thermal deformation”, - suggested his mind.  Some

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Veyr Durmla - Einhyr Champion

Veyr Durmla, champion of the Einhyr Hearthbands. Not originally a member of the Gnostari Dominion, Veyr was first a Hearthkin warrior of the Greater Thurian League. During a pioneering expedition, the Thurians rescued a broken Arvus shuttle that had been taken by Orkish pirates. Inside the shuttle was the Gnostari miner Trokk, later to become High Kahl Trokk the Denier. Veyr was impressed by Trokk's determination and future plans, so joined the nascent High Kahl's side as a personal guard.

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Trokk the Denier - High Kahl

High Kahl Trokk. Ork-Slayer, Man-Hunter, Reaper of the Damned. None of these appellations compare to the one that has come to define this deadly and enigmatic warrior.   The Denier.   The Ironkin who became more in order to protect his family.      A miner like many others, Trokk was nearly destroyed when the plague ravaged the Shattered Star Kindred. The only Ironkin left alive on an asteroid camp after an Ork raid destroyed what remained of the Kindre

More Sicarians

Hi Folks,   A small update for the AdMech of mine with 5 Sicarians comings as a reinforcment of my existing unit:     And here is the whole mob with former and new lads banding together. Main difference, while subtle, is the baseing colour: I ran out of Vallejo Tanned Earth and had to change for AK. There is a small difference as AK is a tad darker in tone. It has however a far better covering power.     Next steps for my AdmEchs will be one of

Unoffical Fan Made Data Cards- Part 1

So as my group begins to ramp up for our Campaign/ Crusade, I am looking at ways to make it more unique and add Characters.    1st up is my take on a Lieutenant in Terminator Armor       Model would be 80 points.    In the WarComm article Nick adds New Ultramarines to his vast collection we see he has 2 Lieutenants and an Apothecary Biologis.

12 MoH - Nov'25 progress report

Hi Folks,   Long time no news, real life matters keeping me busy. And Winter's coming led to my hobby space being explused from the glass house. I am therefore back in the main room that I have to share with the living room TV in the background, dinner's table, which is also homework's table some times,... I therefore organized, or rather improvized, a hobby tray. Thank you shoe boxes:     This has some impact on my productivity, mainly because light is poor and da
