    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

    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

    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

12 Months of Hobby- February Vow completed

The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Heathkyn Warriors

The Hearthkyn of the Solbond Gardhird are the heart and soul of the oathband. They are the core members, the first disparate groups of lost, sorrowful, angry Ironkin that Trokk the Denier bound together and forged into a weapon. Without the Hearthkyn, the vengeance of the Gnostari Dominion would be impotent and wasted- they are the very bones of burning justice.    Hearthkyn Squad “Seykyr’s Hird” Khal Seykyr’s personal guard, Seykyr’s Hird are a veteran squad of warriors ren

Celestian Insidiant + Chapter Master

I've finished one of my Celestian Insidiants for your viewing pleasure.    I'm happy with the way it's come out in the end. The purple inner lining of the cloth gives a bit of contrast to the brighter colours of the rest of the model. the only thing I'm not sure about is the eyes... The red is blending in with the Fleur de Lys on the helmet, and I'm considering changing the lense colour. Not sure to what though: A quick mock up with green and blue below. (yellow would be swamped

Skull Brethren Part 2: Rogues Gallery

So again, I love me some characters and my World Eaters have had quite a  few over the years. Since 3rd edition my army has gone through many lords, champions and supporting fellows. There's also too many to count and recall. So I have all of my current heroes (or should I say villains) Ah, the true OG. Khârn the Betrayer. I did have the old school 2nd edition Khârn back in the day. That model was the first model I had "commissioned" when a friend of my mine painted it for me as a birt

The Tomb World Awakens

Kill-Zone Tomb World is an updated version of last edition's Gallowdark terrain set. With the addition of scatter terrain, teleporter pads, and breachable walls the "close quarters combat" kill zone is a vast improvement to its predecessor's rule-set. However I love the look of the Gallowdark terrain and was in no great rush to paint another large batch of terrain so it sat unpainted under my desk for the last 5 months. With the completion of my Wolf Scouts I was looking for another project and

Hard Lessons

Got in a few games of Combat Patrol over the weekend. Local CP league seems to have cooled off, but still had a few opponents. The manager managed to rope in a pair of spearhead players (they forgot which sunday was spearhead/CP) into doing games since I had 6 with me that day. They choose Octavius and the Assault Brood. I took on the Tyranid player with Vengeful Brethren. Forward position was the mission of the day. Now my opponent plays Tyranids as well, so they had decent knowledge of the gam

Kill Team updates: Scorpion & Sisters

An update to two of my Kill Teams, my main Blades of Khaine, and starting my Celestian Insidiants.  First off, I've mostly finished my Scorpion Exarch with Claw/Chainsword, which is pretty standard colourwise, and I doubt I'll be doing anything different with the Dire Avengers and Banshees.        Second, I have started blocking in the colours for the Sisters, with teal cloth and white armour. Once the darker colours get blocked in, it'll get a bit more contrast

12 Month of Hobby Update- Retributors Part 2

Well we are down to the final 5 days remaining for this month's challenge. And I wonder if I am going to make it. So with that in mind I took time to work on my Retributors this weekend.   I had issues with my vallejo paints clogging my airbrush so I switched to Army Painter Warpaints Air Triad of Regiment Grey (followed by string tone wash), Uniform Grey, and Cadre Grey.     Then once again back to Warpaints Air, this time Encarmine Red for the Multi-Meltas

Thunderhawk round 2 part 3

Well thats thunderhawk 2 me 0. Managed to get a nice red base coat on through the airbrush. Masked up the wings to do the black details and there was no paint coming out the airbrush. So I disassembled the air brush and the nozzle was so jammed up only about 1/3 of the needle was showing through the nozzle! So after a bit of cleaning I returned to the thawk, sprayed over what i had masked out, removed the tape and.... paint seepage! I left some lovely tape lines aswell. I tried to sand thes

Skull Brethren Part 1: The Ship of Theseus

Hello followers of the Dark Gods! I have been a World Eaters Player since, I want to say 1998., so almost 30 years. Over the years I have bought, sold and traded for models. My warband has gone through many name changes, The Blood Vultures (When my warband used an ungodly amount of raptors) The Crimson Butchers (When my warband was a Chaos Soup army, with daemons and Traitor Guard units) and now we have settle on The Skull Brethren for 9th, 10th and probably 11th edition. The army has ballooned

The 'Informant'

This is a passage from earlier on in the first story, Comes the Sandstorm. It shows Kaśnyk's day-to-day work and why, when the Resistance begins showing up, he switches on to their activities. It also shows a brief slipping of the mask. He is a true believer in the Imperium. Earlier on, he corrects a worker for slipping into the local tongue, "Gothic only. I will not listen to anything else."   This scene is a little mundane, but I feel it sharpens the facelessness of the authorities a

Thinning paint to a milk-like consistency.... my airbrush woes

The other day I primed my Adepta Sororitas Retributors with Army Painter Matt Black primer and a zenithal of Army Painter Matt White Primer.      Next day I went to paint them with Vallejo Model Colour Basalt grey. Got the bodies done and then airbrush stopped working.... Grab next airbrush nope spraying nothing, grab next one and it is doing nothing, and grab final one and it will not do anything either.  Great four airbrushes are down.   Dump paint into bucket. an

Painting Bunker Bingo 2026 - Planning attempt

Hi folks,   After a couple of months since the launch of this challenge in the dedicated Club area, I feel like it is now the time to put some planification inside.       I have started just like this, without much planning than “find-some-unit-to-fill-the-card”. It might be just fine but it is a little bit going by the blind way. So I’ve made an inventory of my backlog which is likely to be included. This year my main plan is to deplete my back log from all the ti

Ikka's Hobby Land

A start....sort of

Hello all. I decided to start another blog, this time to chart out my progress for stuff that isn't currently my Night Lords or Votann. Since I have quite a few other armies/projects, I figure that rather than create new blogs for all of them I'll consolidate them into one. I will still have my various threads for the complete minis (Word Bearers, Necrons, Primaris), but since those threads are all typically about complete models/fluff, this will be where my weird ideas come to bloom.

12 Month of Hobby Update- Retributors

"No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the main enemy forces". Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (1800–1891)     Well with all the rumors of the Iron Warriors coming I am really glad I switched from the Heavy Bolters to the Multi-Meltas for my Retributors.  Some other changes had to be made:   Crucible of Champions Build a Canoness Jump Canoness is now Warlord Jump Canoness is more of Personal Character and Order of Part

12 Months of Hobby - February update #1

A.k.a - Progressing when you only get 60-90 minutes at a time to paint and are bad at estimating how quickly you can go in a session.    Halfway through the month and I'm at least on track to finish my February vow for the 12 Months of Hobby by the end of the month. That's a marked improvement over January! I have gotten distracted by planning out a different project but that has been something I've been able to do when I couldn't paint...so no foul for this month.   I've got

Weekly Update #4

So no battle report this week. The combat patrol league is every other week at the local store.    So I started on the chaos marines. Doing a modified Black Legion scheme. I’m hoping to get these done somewhat fast. I haven’t gotten their scheme full worked out in my head. Even with it mostly being by the book i have to paint a few to get it down and be able to assembly line paint it.     Here are the Death Riders, pictures not that great, sorry, but they are battle
