    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

aaaahhhhh

First off....Getting old sucks.   I had plans to paint models this weekend and well while watching the kids Saturday as wife was having a much needed pamper day, we started playing sports in the backyard. Later that day my right shoulder is killing me, not just the back shoulder but the front, top, and down the arm. Good ole shoulder tendonitis flare up. but this time it was is bad. Balms, OTC meds, and rest all not helping. I had to order a brace of Amazon to help with pain Saturday n

March for Mars

Hi folks.   French speaking people will catch the play on words. Others might too as it is not that subtle: March/Marz/Marzo/Mars… all stand for the current month. And as these are linked to the roman god of war that left its name for the third month of the year, it would be a miss for an AdMech fan not to catch the opportunity (There is no valid reason for Greenskins getting Orktober and other faction not seizing options to do the same if possible, is there?).   So March for
The Gellar Field has Failed!

12 MoH: A look back at February, and a look forward...

Although it came down to the wire...I managed to finish my February 12 Months of Hobby vow way close to the deadline. But done is done!   In hindsight, I wish I had taken more care on the highlights and left deeper shadows and done a brighter high tone as the final step.  After a few nights thought this isn't a big enough deal that I expect to go back and touch them up.  Rather, I'll carry forward the lessons learned for the small number of Khorne daemons I have left in the backlog.  I

Skull Brethren Part 3: The Price of Failure

Chaos is basically gambling with your soul. Bet big and you might become a Daemon Prince. Lose on that bet and some real bad things can happen to you. You are also betting against your battle brothers. Each of you are trying  to survive but also trying to  gain favor of Chaos Gods. World Eaters with the butcher's nails, are always compelled towards violence.  Some say that Chaos is a ladder, so lets look a the bottom rung.    Helbrute lore is fun.  It's a punishment, you failed and you

12 Month of Hobby Update- March Vow #2 update #1

Not much done, but I should have time this weekend to get stuff done....maybe   Fist up the other day I built my Seraphim     But forgot to drill the bolt pistol on one the seraphim...   Last night, I drilled the 2 bolt pistols I missed the other day and glued the bases to the toppers and added the broken columns. I added some basing (fine gravel and tile grout) to gap fill, and add that broken column feeling.        In NON 12
The Gnostari Dominion - The Ironkin March

Phase 1 - Game 1 : The beginning!

Skeldr hefted his weapons with a whining of servos. He was not quite nervous, as the Ironkin rarely experienced an extreme emotion such as that, but he was slightly apprehensive. This was his first solo command after all. The High Kahl, Trokk the Denier, had accepted the Steeljack Elder's proposal for an expedition. Trokk would fund the expedition and even lend his sword in battle, but Skeldr would lead it and take all responsibility for the success or failure on his own.   The tall St

The building uprising of Prawa V

So, I have joined a writing group

So, I have joined a local writing group. They meet in the library about four minutes' walk from my house, which is rather convenient. It is a little intimidating having all these pros around me while I whitter on about my stuff. However, I got some good, constructive criticism. I think half the problem with the feedback is that, due to my time in radio and language skills, I can inflect better than most when I read. I think I should get someone else to read my stuff next month, rather than have

Evil Eye's Butterfly Brain Induced Hobby Nonsense

Oh yes, I have a blog! (Also more Blender nonsense)

Somehow I completely forgot about the blog system here. For three years. Clearly I am a very clever boy.   Anyway, a LONG while ago I started work on trying to make a 3D printable Rhino based on the Mk. 1. However, this ground to a halt as A: I realized there are quite a few Mk. 1 Rhino STLs, both more detailed renditions and faithful reproductions of the original kit (including one that is so accurate it can be used as a source of spare parts for actual Mk. 1 plastic kits!), B: it was

Chapter Master Glenn Mi'Kell is Finished!

I'm on a roll! That's 4 models finished this year, and it's only March!    Armour is now finished, and based to match the rest of my army (I may add some grassy bits, but that's not as important). Armour paint was a gloss black base coat, with Green Stuff World Cobalt Blue Chameleon paint (the same I used over the white on the Celestian Insidiant, but that had different results as it reacts differently over different base coats).

Weekly Update #5

So now working on both the Ork and Chaos patrols at the same time cause the lining on these marines are causing me headaches.    I did get the Dark apostle, warboss (mostly), a boy and the Turox done.      I;m going to start placing magnets in the bases of these like I did with my nids so they will be easy to carry in the maglock system I have been swapping to.  Also planning to set up a sort of display later as I'm going to start working on my den

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
