    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

    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

Claxons ring out. Boarding alarms. Enemies who have pushed past meters-thick armor to infest the corridors of her ship.   The Navarch moved her teams forward in a rush of hushed motion. Blades were drawn, rifles readied. Maked figures slipped into crevices and box junctions; prepared positions set into the ship's decks to provide cover and concealment for its defenders. Hand signals put heavy weapons into optimal ambush patterns, while coded vox clicks informed the sirdars of the Howlb

Vaelen Mordris

The blood flowed from implantation wounds, drained through channels in the surgical bed to caches below. The smell of blood and offal hung in the air, competing with disinfectant and harsh chemical cleaners. This place was unlike any other aboard the Umbra Vos- bright light beamed overhead, illuminating the proceedings in a manner most different from the rest of the ship.   Here was where Astartes were created, repaired, and harvested from. The light, so shunned by the other Shrikeborn

12 MoH - completed Plodding Along

Hi folks,   Here is the closing point for a 10 months long project: a 12MoH plodding along vow consisting in developing a few (a lot) of additional items of scenery. The purpose was to increase the set from which I could select my scenery for an Ashland desert themed table. Before starting I already had quite a good bunch of scenery associated to this theme yet it was not necessarily fully satisfying. Indeed it was based mainly on small LoS blocking elements or scattered areas. It lack

Greek Blood Angels

Death Company

Succumbing to the Black Rage, it is said those have touched the Lethe/Oblivion River and lost themselves. They bear blue markings symbolizing the Rivers of the Underworld, namely the Lethe they have drank from and the Styx which they walk down, approaching the realm of Hades. They are watched over by the Chaplain Marcus (counts-as Lemartes).

Greek Blood Angels

It's all Greek to me...

I forgot about starting this thing...should go ahead and put it to use for my Blood Angels Successor Chapter. I'm taking the Greek theme/aspects and cranking it up hardcore. Name is a WIP, I can be indecisive. Ethereal or Aethereal Angels is currently high on the list.

Power surge

Hi Folks,   The Power Generator I wanted to add in my 12MoH pladge is not fully painted.   After a plasticard job, I ended with this big square box to be painted. I initially though about copy/pasting a real world colour scheme for Diesel groups such as that one:     I have kept the inspiration of the dark colour for bottom reinforcements and shifted to red (as painting yellow ain't my stuff), but I gave up bicolour stuff on the main panels. Why? Just beca
New Successor Chapter

Initial Plans

So far, what I have decided is primary color will be Maroon, including shoulder trim. The inside of the shoulder will be colored to designate Wing/Company. For other skull/Aquilla details, I am still deciding on Silver, Gold, or White. I will probably use the Dark Angels emblem but a different color, still up in the air but leaning towards either yellow/gold or green. The cloaks/cloth I am debating between dark green or black.   Chapter Name, or at least working name, is The Oathsworn.

2 Color Schemes in 1 Army?

Okay, once again my color scheme ADD has kicked in by watching two historically accurate* films back to back (300 and 300 Rise of an Empire).   I was thinking that I could take my spearmen and paint then up in brass and red like the Spartans.   And paint my Sword and Shield troops and vehicles like the Athenians      Would it be dumb to have 2 different colored cloaks in the army?   What are your thoughts?         *in co

Still not GSC, but not AM looking neither...

Hi Folks,   It looks like my "Not-GSC" motto is more credibility every time I post in this blog. Maybe this time is is the moment where I nail the coffin. After all this lad ain't looking like a COmissar or a AM General Officer.   Let me introduce the Malestrain Alpha as a Stealer Cult Patriarch.     I have made him with the scheme I've used on the few models already painted: a grey skin washed with dilluted Russ grey and recess shaded with Drakenhof

Tiny Eagle Heads and Anger.

Cue the Mission: Impossible theme....   I was putting together another Vexilla for the Custodes when I discovered the eagle at the top of the banner was not a part of it but a separate piece.     A very tiny.... piece.     (Guardsman head for scale)       I dropped the Vexilla and bent it, it's not very robust...     And while I was attaching the eagle head, it slipped its moorings.    I needed E

Adding in the Alpha Legion and some others

An update, an update!    I've decided that I need some more Chaos in my life and that the Ebon Word/Shrikeborn need some friends. I was looking over the Red Corsair rules and rather like them, especially since CSM don't have any other Infiltrating units. While I like the rules and I think the models are ok, they just don't really fit with the aesthetics of the force I have already, being more modern and a force of renegades rather than older legion warriors. So what is a budding warlor

Plasticard time!

Hi folks,   I have been thinking about doing a power generator / "portable plasma reactor" for a long time. Then our beloved GW issued that piece of scenery...     ... and I have been satisfied. For a while. Or it is what I believed. But the idea came back. Insidiously. In fact I am still disappointed by the fact that it is not obvious connecting these big bricks with my plasma pipe networks. I therefore resurrected the idea of a similar function that could be arran

Building a Generic Inquisitor for my Custodes.   I bought one of those Cities of Sigmar blind boxes, and ended up with this guy, I think he's a good starting point.    I'm going to fix his base, give him a new head, and modify his weapon and backpack... I think.      Got any suggestions?     And I have no idea what the heck this is, but it has a spot on the base for it:

MTO Frag Drill

I folks,   I got this Fragdrill model from MTO last december. It stayed in my "pile of potential" that long, until I have decided myself to paint it for good. Enlisting in the the 12MoH 2026 Plodding along vow helped me keeping in line with this pledge.   Anyway. The building was smooth, even if I have lost in the process the small 2 parts cable connection the small and the big drill. I al sure I did not throw it away but I have to explore the considerable amount of bitz
