    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

    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

Summertime Sadness and Edition Updates

Hey B&C people, It's me Brassclaw.    I haven't posted in a while because work has been crazy. I have been working 48 hour per week since May, which means I haven't had much time for hobby stuff. When I have been able to get away from work, other things have been getting in the way. But I have been able to finish a big project that has been on the hobby plate for sometime.  Ahhh, my defiler. I got this model back in April and just now finished him now. I had a difficult
Setting Sons

It’s ALIVE….!

Roshi Malcolm Bisley the 7th company Dreadnought is now done.  I decided to paint him as a marine rather than a vehicle (using dazzle camouflage). He’s a heavy, beefy boy.  I was surprised how fiddly the model was, especially getting the arms the right way around.  I decided to use magnets for the chest guns but was always going to have the arm guns because of cool.  I couldn’t be bothered with magnets for the claws/fists so just went with the fists (the claws are pretty sharp and I reckon

In Service of the Imperium- W.A.Rorie's Blog

The ebbs and flows of the Warp have caused disruptions.

I have been in a funk of late. I have no interest in building, painting, playing, or any part of the hobby. I have so many armies in the build queue: HH Raven Guard, Grey Knights, True Scale Grey Knights, Phobos Exorcists, 1st Company Howling Griffons, Tacticus heavy Red Hunters, 2 Adepta Sororitas armies Order of the Valorous Heart and custom Order of the Parthenon, and Inquisition army. Plus my Necromunda Gangs (Redemptionist/ Cawdor, Spyres, and Delaques, I also have Escher). And the Knights

CtA26 - Armigers Warglaive

Hi Folks,   Here comes the final part of my second CtA26 vow: the two Armigers.   These little lads were coming in the Eye of Terror Detachment box. I was not planning painting them now but time left up to the end of the challenge was enough, so I jumped into the project. I have decided to make them as Warglaives. I indeed do not foresee what Helverins would bring too my nacent force as I have already focussed 2 out of 3 big knights in shooty roles and as I have one Moirax wi

Come on, we're not that old...

Roots.

Bloody roots. Sepultura sung it perfectly. Return to your roots.   I've been seeing a few people returning back to the hobby, and the B&C forums, after long or short hiatuses. I did the same, after all. I also had a discussion with some friends, recently, where I explained how much I disliked the way social consoles, such as facebook, organise their information and threads, and how everything is extremely ephemeral, with the only purpose to try to make you create, and consume, more

CtA25 - Questoris Knight completed

Hi Folks,   My second CtA26 vow is based on IK. With one Questoris and two Armigers (plus a container).   After magnetizing the arm weapons of the Questoris and trying out a checker pattern on the pauldron, the rest of the paint job was finally straight forward. Most of the skeleton is done by dry brushing, which is a go-fast technique. And armor panels are quite easy with my bicolor scheme once the fancy stuff such as checkers have been managed. It is also the third big knig

Apocrypha Vigiliae

First time painting!

I officially have one member of the Malum Vigilia painted.  Other than the horrible freehand chapter logo, I'm very happy.  Also not done, hopefully it will get better.  Sorry for the crappy pictures, I have no light and my phone sucks Ok heres some better pictures after more work was done.     Ok maybe last update for this one guy lol Still the same guy, I decided he was a bit too shiny.

Norris “The death Bringer” Staedtler

“Shukuteki Norris “the death bringer” Staedtler. Norris Staedtler is a figure both revered and loathed within the ranks of the Chapter due to the duty he performs: as the death bringer, he must seek out those battle-brothers showing signs of ego and selfishness, and end their suffering with a blow from his axe. As a result no battle-brother can feel entirely comfortable in his presence, as one day it might be their neck at the receiving end of his blade. Wargear Norris is armed wi

Beserks built

Went ahead and got all my count-as Beserks build, including my Berehk. The Ironhead Squats from Necromunda turned out to be pretty darn good, better than I expected. Berehk was built from the Claim Jumper model, which works perfectly with a slight pickaxe-to-polearm conversion, as I didn't really like the back half of the pickaxe and wanted something more hero-y. The Beserks come in two flavors, concussion mauls made from pickaxes and hammers, and heavy plasma axes made from various axe weapons

CtA26 - Second vow (Questoris Mechanicum Knights)

Hi Folks,   Although I have almost reached the bottom of my pile of shame, I succumbed (again) to the sirens of the Imperium. It is no rocket science predicting it: once you buy a bargain Eye of Terror Knight Detachment to be added to your existing Questoris and 3 Moiraxes, you end up with a small force, small enough for some games but not big enough for more. And what would you do with something half established like that? Expand it to a decent size. And this is how you end up bu

Retro Style Razorback

Modification on a previous work. Changed the Razorback weapons to match the more classic loadout. Was not sure how to do the dual plasma gun. After looking around found the HH Game has two dual plasma gun bitz. The dreadnought plasma gun for inside the power fist, which was only the barrel, and the terminator plasma caster. Went with the plasma caster, chopped off the spare lascannon's connector and attached to the plasma caster. Kind of wish it was a little bigger but it works. Feedback is welc

Anguish (rough)

Just gunna put this here cuz im lazy, this is still a rough draft, and i need to edit some stuff.  If you read it and something looks stupid or like bad writing, it probably is, and i might fix it....... Anguish Chapter 1 Anir stopped in his tracks.  Volesus turned to see why.  Volesus' vision was the bright green of a night vision filter.  No lights remained active in the many kilometers of this estate, after the killings.  Volesus saw Anir lift a hand to his neck, and grasped something.  So

Second attempts at magnetizing - Questoris knight

DISCLAIMER: This time it worked!   Hi folks,   I couldn't stay on the previous failure. I had to try again.     This time I have favoured a different chassis, a Questoris. And has I had spare parts left for the unused plastic bits of my Styrix, I got rid of some of the issues mentionned previously such as the lack of spare parts for weapon mounts...   There was therefore less potential issues than on a Castellan.   As previously I made a se

Terminator Squad Storm Bolters

The rest of the squad. I had learned some from the tactical squad mistakes. They have some highlighting, though I could of done more I find it kind of tedious. Also managed to varnish the models better. The resin should pads with the chapter symbol I had planned to use were for an older model of terminator and did not fit the new ones. I had tried reshaping the resin shoulder pads but they were to small. Tried green stuff but looked awful. So I just did transfers. I found I prefer the look of th

Tactical Squad Troopers

The Boltgun wielders of the squad. I had not realize I built and painted two marines exactly the same until these final photos. Only difference is the base grass. The varnish is a bit off. I had used to much of a satin varnish making them look to shiny. Tried to off set it with a dull varnish which made them look rougher and faded. Also makes the light weird when photographing them. But I was not going to redo the entire squad, at least no time soon.

Tactical Squad Sgt

Had to completely strip and repaint the model after a rather horrible varnishing incident. Gave him the older mk 4 power sword as it had a more RT tech look than the more gothic looking power swords. Also gave him a wrist mounted bolt pistol from a blood angels kit, to make him look more like the cover art on RT book.
