Hi Folks, Last Xmas I did something I never thought I would: I have ordered some MTO stuff, with the Tectonic drill and some Machinery (crane and so on). FOMO drived me. Now that this is comited as a purchase, it is time to plan doing something from that materiel. I have bet the delivery will not be so soon, so it leaves time for planning. And the plan that came to my mind was to increase seriously my terrain collection with some elements to define a mining camp/excavation site. I plan doing a mine entrance on a rocky hill side, some custom power generator using left over bitz, ruins, more rocky concretions and a fuel dump or crates. For ruins I have seized on ebay 1,3 box of Ryza pattern ruins, plus some power fences. I also ahve some Armoured containers from the Hachette collection somewhere. It will help for the fuel dump and more shanty town stuff. For the hill, concretions and mine entry, I have started doing some experiments on the mater last week, with left over styfoam. It is just starting and once dry, some sculpting will start. I have made my first plastering tests on flat hills for the WOrld that WAs and it went OK. So, what could go bad? I have also recoverd my blue stuff to mold pillars and reinforcements for the mine entrance. Still drying though: The next challenge will be the power gen, as it should be largely made out of plasticard. But the real challenge is to keep the project under control: I was already thinking about adding a Necromunda Stronghold or a Necromunda STC habhub... The idea is not to spend much more. So, I have to keep head cool. See you.

Hi Folks, It has been time since I resumed painting of my Epic era Space Marines. Let's say that I am resuming my resumé. This time I set the gear shift up and when beyond just colour testing. I have gone for 2 Companies, one Battle and one Veteran, plus a supporting inquisitor and some DEvastators plus Speeders. This is a good first bunch for 2026 12 MoH. The battle company has been set with the red paultrons. I have tried to stick to the Adeptus Astartes codex marking. The Assault marine received black legs, as a reminder of the colour scheme that can be found in HH books for IF. But it is a mild success. What's fun with this scale is that UM 40k decals fits the hatch of the rhinos almost perfectly. So the units type marking can be reused. It gives some caché, isn't it? The veteran company goes full Power armour. Temrinators were painted in 2024... Same as for all the bases, you see the coloured paultron and maybe the red helmet for sergeants. Being a big fat boss in the alimentary chain of the Chapter, first Captain received a personnalized livery on its tiny Rhino. Then the supporting cards come with 2 Devastator detachments requisitionned from the blue company, plus Speeders from the Orange company. They are accompanied by an Inquisitor. Next step is to keep on with the rest of the small plastic lads: I have Motos, more Speeders and enough slottas for a Tactical reserve company, some Characters and maybe a Scout company. And a (dwarfed) Warlord Titan direct from the 90's! See you later with more small stuff.
