    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

Next year hobby plans - not what it used to be...

Hi Folks,   Xmas is coming.   OOh OOh OOh   Even if I am not necessarily into this, the typical bundles offered at end of year are usually a good opportunity to source some discounted material for my armies. A good opportunity I never really seized in fact as: to be true,  most of the time I wake up too late (and all is gone and sold) or I do rather grab campaign-oriented bundles (Extermination Maniple, Eye of Terror set…).   This year I was full of

"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me."

"I offer my life to the Emperor!"

I keep looking at My Howling Griffons and then my Red Hunters Captain catches my eye. I need to look at what still needs to build. Small tough army  or larger balance army. Terminators/ Dreadnoughts vs Tacticus/ Tanks . I don't have any games planned so building Red Hunters would be doable.    So my thoughts so far....   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + FACTION KEYWORD: Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Space Marines + DETACHMENT: Assault Brethren, Gauntlet T

Hobby Update – A Change of Direction and New Ideas

So it's been a while since I've posted much on here, and the last few months have been a bit of a wipeout in terms of hobby progress. As suspected, between the school holidays and travelling more for work, my hobby time has been seriously reduced. Armageddon Box Progress I have slowly been carrying on with the Eradicators and have got them all painted up, bar one base. However, I'm not particularly happy with the scheme I've gone for, so I might change it or simply strip th

Painting Progress 2 - Word Bearers done

Finally finished off my Word Bearers by getting all of the characters completed. I'll start going through the various individual blogs to update them with the pics later today, but for now I'll simply post all of the finished stuff right now. I also managed to start on the Night Lords portion of the force by getting the Howlbrood cultists done.    Up next, I'll begin working on three items. First up, I have a couple of projects to do for a FLGS painting competition in December. The fir

"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me."

"We of the Librarium must be aware of Chaos."

"Yet we do not ourselves aim to contend with Chaos, unless compelled to." Franz Grenzstein, Librarian of the Imperial Fists     So finally started working on my Howling Griffons Librarian or should started working on him again.      It's a start.  I want to or need to work on my Red Hunters Librarian too.  But I don't see the updated photo I have of him with the yellow runes....  
New Successor Chapter

Organization

The Oathsworn use a blend of current Markings and mixture of the old with a new style. The Companies are the same as current DA, but roles are split into Wings that span across Companies similar to Pre-Heresy times, and Wing structure and hierarchy outrank any Company's. The first two Companies/Wings are identical to Deathwing and Ravenwing, but named Bladewing and Nightwing. Darkwing incorperates the Battleline and Close Support forces, this is primarily Intercessors. Direwing is Fire Support,

Acastus Knight Porphyrion + Basing

I hope to one day have the time and budget to purchase a 40k-scale Knight Porphyrion. It’s one of my favourite models.   In the meantime, I now have two AT-scale versions.     Look at them! Aren’t they the cutest?   For now the arms and leg panels are staying off. I also tried to get some bases done. Nothing fancy, just some texture and rocks.   Did something similar for the Reaver base:      Added a lot of different textures a

There is less than one Space Marine for each world of the Imperium."

"Nevertheless they are number enough for the task in hand."       I have been away, for various personal reasons: Work, kids, estranged parents, personal mental health, etc. I appreciate all the support I received from  @Bouargh, @Lathe Biosas, @GSCUprising, the other Moderators and Admins. I am in a better mental place now.   Space Marine Codex and Command Cards finally ordered and should be here today. It has been awhile since I sat at my hobby station and it is a mess
Greek Blood Angels

Progress, base coats

This was a project I thought up years ago and had already bought stuff, so the first few squads (Tactical, Stern/Van Vet, and Chaplain Marcus) will all be the illegal First Born models. I'm finishing digging out the bits, I had purchased alternate Helmets, Shoulders, Chests, Shields from a few sites and they were packed away. Some models were already primed, here is Chaplain Marcus, I magnetized his Melta-Pistol to swap with a Bolt Pistol to match Lemartes, and apparently it isn't an option for

Posing a Titan

While the Warhounds required little thought on posing, the especially legs being very straightforward to assemble, the Reaver is another matter altogether.   Even without the armour panels, the legs have a lot of parts, and there’s no pins or slots in the components that mean you can lock the parts together for a dry fit. In the pics below you can see I did some blutac posing to get a feel of the pose in conjunction with the upper body and head. In the same vein I adde

Salamanders at a Grow League - Highlights & Hobby Progress (Part 2)

"Oh Throne! Oh Throne! Oh Throne!"  - Historitor Meric Van Damm, witnessing the heretic assault on Perrin Hive -   Greetings fratres et sorores!   A fine example of the chaos of life, this. It's been a little over a month since I posted part one of the grow league highlights. School has started once more, and studying for those certifications takes time!    Nevertheless! For the sake of completion, lets get on. We've had the "Hobby Progress." Now let's have the

Knight Allies

The Fureans colour scheme is quite striking:   I mean look at that Warhound! Beautiful! However, one of my additional goals for AT was to field some Knight Household forces. Specifically my favourite Knight, the Knight Acastus Porphyrion.   The Knight Household most associated with Fureans is apparently House Perdaxia, but their scheme is just a copy of Fureans:     While nice, I’d like to differentiate between the Knight and Titan elemen

Starting a Force

Note: at first, this is going to be a retrospective blog, so for certain people some of the progress is a bit older. Hopefully I will catch up to my current state of AT hobbying quickly enough.   Having had the opportunity to visit WHW with a small group of fellow hobbyists, Olis (from BnC) and Dragonlover (also from BnC) kindly gave me tutorials on how to play Adeptus Titanicus while we were there. And it was really fun!    I bought an Adeptus Titanicus starter set soon afte

Perhaps that was why they called him the Librar
Combat Patrolling the Galaxy

Status Update

So I’ve been VERY distracted recently between prepping for my annual tournament and just getting sucked into No Man’s Sky.    Figure I should give a status update as since the patrols have changed and may change more in the future.

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
