    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

    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

    By Bouargh

    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

Major Karl Mannerkheim

Major and second in command in regiment Karl Mannerkheim, master of siege and defense. Beloved strategy - static defence. He spent most of his time learning new tactics and strategy from Tactical Imperialis.

There is can't be enough infantry

Finished all battleline units. There is last blob of twenty and army shoot without vechicles and ogryns who's wip right now.  I wish I finish last two bullgryns and castellan tomorrow. There is very few touches for them. And technically basecoated sentinels who need to be repainted in new( or upgraded colour scheme). That's looks good on the shelf and after I got all remained infantry, which is twice current body count I've got a company.

Your unusual ogryn

This is Broggy. Once he joined the ranks he was real troublemaker. Commissar Gaffes though find the key to his soul. Instead of punish unruly Ogryn he said him:  "When your armour and uniform and clear and shiny The God-Emperor smiles on his Throne" After this no more problem from him, except may be overuse of polishing paste.

We almost there...

Command squad is ready. Nice models and I'm almost happy how they looks. I build them without banner cause cadians banner aren't fit my guys. All infantry almost done. Well, 1/3 of LINE infantry is done. This year good bunch of HWS and artillery join the party. Also more command squads and kasrkins. I don't know, and to be honest I won't know why I build army this way. At the end of year I gonna have full company + some support. I wanna 3 line company.  Do GW return apocalypse or not I wanna hav

Requesting Assistance

I'm having some issue with the 3d printed heads I ordered, and I was hoping I could get some feedback on what to use.   I really dislike the Tempestus Aquilons/Scions heads and will avoid those at all costs if possible.   Here's a sample of my 3d printed options. Do either of these look alright?

A Pivot...

Well... A slight pivot as the 3d printed Harakoni Warhawks helmets are a little too big in the head and tiny in the neck.   Looks like I might be using Kasrkin and Aquilon heads after all...    But the test fits are going well.

And So It Begins...

"It was the year of fire, the year of destruction, the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth, the year of great sadness, the year of pain, and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2026; the place: Bolter & Chainsword"     Today, I start construction of the 164th.

ELUSIVE SALVATION: THE 164TH (PART 2)

The storm owned the city.   Rain fell sideways, thick with ash, turning lumen-globes into sickly halos that barely touched the ground.   MASON split the squad without words. Hand signals. Eye contact. Black-Net stayed quiet except where silence would kill them.   They moved through the slums like a rumor of violence.   Doors opened before hands reached for locks. Shapes folded before mouths could open. No one screamed long enough to matter. Bodies hit ferr

Not GSC - Rogue Trader Entourage Part 3

Hi folks,   As my paint job is progressing on my RT Entourage, I can already share some progress for 2 figures serving the warrant bearer: The Death Cult Assassin proxy and the Rejuvenat Adept proxy.   For the former, its paint scheme has been largely influenced by the standard paint schem proposed by GW for the Biophagus. It stays very close of the genuine model, save the loss of its GSC familiar and a head swap. For the later, the colors were selected to match with the

Your unusual ogryns

This bullgryn, named Bop, seen a space marine once. From the Space wolfs. Somehow, he was got the cloak with fur. Commissar, trying keep poker face after Bop explained what he want, make a purity seal for him. And Techpriest with last drops of sense of humor make a shoulderpads.    Behold! space wolfgryn Bop.    Bop is happy now.

Not GSC - Rogue Trader Entourage Part 1

Hi folks,   For a while now I have pledged to myself a kind of oath of honor: I will not buy any model that is (too) obviously deemed to be shelved out a short/medium range. It looks like I have failed with the pledge and betrayed that oath. Indeed, I have just acquired a box of Navy Breachers. And a set a characters from various GW settings in order to gather my very own custom made Rogue Trader Entourage. But I am not playing GSC, even if, as you will see, some or even most of t

ELUSIVE SALVATION: THE 164TH

The Valkyrie bucked hard in the crosswinds, warning runes screaming across the cockpit bulkhead. MASON heard the pilots arguing over the vox—too much flak, too much turbulence, too much everything.   “Ghost Lead, negative drop. Repeat, negative drop,” the pilot barked. “You jump now, you die before the chute arms.”   MASON keyed his helm mic. “Open the ramp.”   “Absolutely not—”   He didn’t wait. Manual override hissed beneath his hand. The ramp locks clan

No choice

His thoughts and feelings were in disarray. Who knew all turned this way? No answer in the silence of the empty strategium. He did what he shall. Didn't he? Headed to the place he was at ease. He locked the door and engaged the emergency override. No one can open it from without. He was sitting in a chair when something blew outside. He rose his head in ignorance, his glance was void. Then cracking sounds outside, again and again. “Thermal deformation”, - suggested his mind.  Some

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 5

Hi folks,   As a fith act in this series, here is today's addition: a Goliath truck to be used qs q Tqurox proxy. Becquse remember thqt I am not starting a GSC army... But is there someone that really believing this?   In CtA23, year ago so, I painted some kit bashed Scions from old plastic scouts. These lads deserves a vehicle to go at heart of the fight. and if it comes with some fire power, better. A Taurox fits the role but... I had this Goliath Truck from the Patrol box,

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 4

Hi folks,   As a fourth act in this series that I left aside for a while, here are some progresses to be shared: the kit bashed HW teams have been painted.   As previously ibntroduced in the second part of this serie ( or was it the first one?), using a single kit of ooP Cadian HW plus GSC cultists and extra crew members from the GOliath kit allows reaching 18 footsloggers and puting in service 3 types of HW. In my case; ML; Autocannon and mortars. I like the vibe of the last

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 3

Hi folks,   After last post presentation of the HW squads, we left the story to a point where I was left with the Truck and 11 bodies to be kitbashed.   The Truck, as a proxy Taurox, does not require much work: weapon system is dual autocannon, as the genuine model, and removing the cult emblems and adding some Imperium symbols was not a big deal. The same with swapping the machine gun for a sanctionned stormbolter (after all these kit bashed are supposed to be SW auxillaries

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 2

Hi folks,   Last post of the series introduced the reasons behind buying a GSC Patrol box (the old one) in order to get the base for kit bashing IG infantery squads. The fact that I have a sweet remember of these guies is probably not completely disconected to the selection of Neophyte Hybrids models instead of Orlocks gangers as a starting base. Even if after a carful look,        As for using Sktarii heads on other bodies, I had already tried it, more or less succ

How to pretend not to start a GSC army - Part 1

Hi folks,   Before entering into the details, it may be worth setting up a kind of background. Let´s go back in time in a not so far past (relativity matters) when previous 40k Edtion allowed Allied Detachments in its Force Organization Charts   The scene is set.   I enjoyed this era that has been a perfect time to increase my SW force versatility adding small detachments of other stuff in order to get some tactical diversification. It is when I added Blood Ang

While waiting for the Delivery...

I feel like a little bit purposeless as my next bunch of fresh material for 40k will be delivered in afew days. I still have some stuff left in a box, some more ooP Rhino chassis tanks, but It would be repainting them. I could off course shift to WFB which is clearly my next big challenge as my Pile of shame is huge here. Or anticipate on Epic reboot and paint my old (very old) 6 mm scale armies.   But I do not want to embark on something too different like 6 mm and I am a little bit f
