    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

    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

    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

The Pentarchy of Death

Hi Folks,   It has been a while that I have been thinking about it and the recent announcement of release for Yriel resumed this idea under the form of a small self-standing project: gathering the key Dramatis Personnae from the Ynnari narrative arc as a homogeneous collection of models.   My Ynnari force is led by the Yvraine (IR$ tax) and I field the Yncarne as often as possible. But I’ve stopped myself there for a while. Now that Yriel has been released, I guess I might ga

Adeptus Bricklayer

Hi folks,   A small insight on my plodding along vow for 12 MoH 2026. among the uncontrolled growths of this project it is worth mentionning the addition of a set of second hand Ryza pattern ruins. These I believe were initially released in Moon Base Klaissus (or is it Kassius?) . They have been then sold as a separate boxed set (latter reworled and lossing some parts such as the barricade with briken door and the sas entry) and finally re-released through the Hachette suscription.
Old Misadventures in Sci-Fi

Starting to harbour some doubts

So, the other day I finally got out of a bit of a hobby slump (to be fair to myself, I'd been steadily, but very slowly, painting some Nurgle guys for AoS but mostly/only because I meet up with some friends once every week/fortnight and paint) and felt the urge to do something creative. So I found some styrofoam I had lying around as well as a ship I bought in the local thrift shop a couple of years ago, decided to build a harbour and got to work. I initially just placed the styrofoam sections i

Howling Griffons Chapter Master.....Part 1 - The Mock Up

So who is the Chapter Master of the Howling Griffons? Is it Kenot Friche or Alvaro?   Alvaro (Lexicanum)  Alvaro is the current Chapter Master of the Howling Griffons. During the Third War for Armageddon he led the First Company of the Chapter from the Battle Barge Force of Destiny, where they engaged in the persecution of a company of Night Lords Traitor Legionnaires under the command of the infamous Daemon Prince Periclitor.

Training Day Part 2

So once again I used the new FLGS Learn to Play/Combat Patrol day to teach another vic… player how to play via Combat Patrol. They took Strike Force Octavius so instead of using my newly completed Medusan Redoubt I used the Vanghast Swarm to go classic mode.    Medusan Redoubt (IF edition)     I split the termaguants up, had the barbguants and a termaguant unit hold home while the rest readied to surge forward.

Tales From the Field - Salamanders Battle Khorne's Legion

"Hate your enemy. There is no room for compassion in the prosecution of the enemy's destruction. Strive with every iota of your will and strength to see him destroyed. Slay him and cast down his works without mercy.  Only when every corrupt work is destroyed and the ashes of his body float on the wind, only then can there be compassion.  Hate the enemy who yet lives. Reserve your pity for the dead."   - Chaplain Ur'Venn, attached to the Salamanders 4th Company, Purging of Clovis' World -

Skull Brethren Part 7: State of the Horde

Hey guys,   So this is the currently state of the Skull Brethren or at least the finished painted models. It's about 40 infantry, 6 characters, about 5 armoured assets and a pair of spawn. Probably south of 2000pts but over 1500pts for sure. Now what isn't here:   20 built but not painted Khorne Berzerkers. I haven't built up the painting willpower to tackle them yet. Although they will become a priority soon as 11 edition looms  2 more Chaos Spawn. I do run a list th

Something new...

I'm a member of Yaktribe because I occasionally mess about with Necromunda and for a long time it was the default organizational tool for that game. Now, I mainly hang out in their hobby boards because I can post about my minis that aren't 40k. They have periodic contests of differing topics and this latest one was Hallowed and Haunted: make something that is sacred, uncanny, or cursed. I had some leftover models and decided to wipe something up- in this case an Ash Wastes scavenger and his hire

Adepticon 2026 Part 1: Water and Ocean Effects

Adepticon 2026:    A Word on Competitions.  I did the Long War Doubles tournament Friday (everyone has a bit of grey in their beards these days, we aren't getting any younger). I also did the Team Tournament Saturday and Sunday. THis was a lot of late night and early morning shenanigans. I'm getting too old for this. Now, this year team events were part of an overall best-in-show type of award, now called the adepti-cup. This is new to me as I missed out last year. So, we aren't j

Did WarComm just call me out like that....

Today's WarComm article just straight out called me out...   "After all, if you really like sneaky Space Marines AND heavily armoured elites, why should you have to focus on just one?"     Well damn.....I love Terminators, Scouts, and Phobos marines. So how does this work?     "Depending on the size of your game, you’ll be able to choose a number of Detachments based on their Detachment Point cost, ranging from 1 for those with gentler rules or narrow

12 Month of Hobby April Vow

So past 2 Months my 12 Month of Hobby vow was for my Adepta Sororitas. I did the initial vows and last month I did complete the Kill Team Campaign model as well, but I just am not feeling painting Adepta Sororitas.  I will continue the Kill Team Campaign, since it is only 1 model a month and next month that maybe the only model that gets done as out of town 16 of the 31 days of May. So it would be hard to paint more than that anyways.           So I am going to start vowing my Howl

Skull Brethren Part 6: Mere Mortals

Hey guys, back with the World Eaters again. This time we are looking at the small folk of the Skull Brethren. The Jakhal Cultists. I really liked the look of the Jakhals when they came out. They have a lot of character. Although they are a bit of a pain to build. Connecting those chains with the wrists with my ogre fingers was a bit frustrating.    In my warbands lore, The Skull Brethren uses lots of Jakhals. Draxxigor Bloodhowler is the mortal commander of the Skull Brethren, he's fa

To stand up to a tyrant

Firstly, mods, please deal with this in any way you deem appropriate. The passage below is loaded with my thoughts on the current situation and I wish not to disrespect my fellow Fraters.   I wrote this late night in a moment of frustration, of anger, at things going on the the world at this time. For context, for those who have not followed my stories, the sound of a grenade launcher cocking comes from his Corporal, Łaska. =====   "Who the Hell do you think you are to co

Small Nightbringer update

Got the bits for the Nightbringer, but decided I wanted to up my game a little bit. So instead of just the Purple Sun floating with the puzzle/blackstone bits, I will take one of the Convergence of Dominion steles and use it as a base. Canted at an angle, I think it will sell the whole "C'tan that broke free" that my Necron stuff is going for. Plus, found some old FW scarabs that should make good basing material as well. Both of those are going to be shipped to me in the next couple of weeks and
