So, as the title states, this will be my third return to the hobby. Original time was back in the early 2000's, I had a Space Wolves army that I had painted a pale green, don't ask 12-year old me why. I quickly moved on to a Black Legion Army that included some Rhino Rush Berserkers, the then-new Defiler, and a metal Daemon Prince (you know the one). This must have been 3e-4.5. This phase culminated with a trip to the Atlanta Games Day where I submitted my old metal Typhus model. At this time, I was pretty into the Space Wolf books and also Storm of Iron. As for models, I was pretty into Codex: Eye of Terror, and especially the Grey Slayer models, but this was when I think high school started to really pick up for me. None of the models from this era survived. Fast forward to about 10 years ago, got back into it and picked up some models again and got back to work, converting some vaguely renegade Marines using the Chaos Warrior gloved arms and axes. Not sure what my plan was, and I fell off the wagon again. I think I first got into the HH books here. Second return- Still got a few of those models, and went back through them when I moved. Got some more, this would have been right around the time of the plastic HH boxes coming out. I started working on some fluff and got a ton of bits and did some assembly, but I was mostly working background via the Iron Gauntlet challenge in the Liber forums. You can find some of that fluff here and here. But with Primaris coming out, I felt pretty overwhelmed and kind of worn out, and for whatever reason, I fell out of it again. Finally, this time, I’m ready to finish the Violent Gods, including an update to the fluff that fixes some typos and situates them firmly in the space of the Dark Imperium now that Guilliman is back. My plan is still to run them as Space Wolves, albeit without some of the Wolfier choices in the Codex. Anyway, here’s some models. Counts as GH. Leadbelcher, Nuln Oil, then Agrax. They all need a highlight, and I think the Marine on the right needs some Nuln Oil. The one in the middle was mostly finished as a test, but I’ve since redone his armor to match the one on his left, built when you could load out GH squads with bg, bp, AND chainswords. Oh well. More GH. Same armor layers applied. GH Plasma Specialists. Champion/WG/Lieutenant on the left (needs more bits!), GH on the right. WGPL, WGPL- possibly for Long Fangs, GHPL. Counts as Long Fangs, including a possible RG defector, perhaps you can guess which one (!). I think two more lascannons ought to fill this squad out. I’ve got some Blood Claws, a few characters, and some Rhino’s hopefully up next. Thoughts about the dirty metal armor? I think it needs a highlight, but not sure which color to use. I was hoping that jumping right to Runefang or Stormhost Silver won’t be too stark. Thanks for looking! Edit: thought my old thread was archived, but it is not, and it is in my signature.

Whether as a forward outpost, as part of a defense network or of a larger fortification, this Bastion gives your boots on the ground much needed overview of the area and provides massive protection even for large units when bullets and shells start flying. One or two of this Bastions will be a great center of your narrative campaign and i believe these will fit perfectly to Asymmetric War Missions from the upcoming Chapter Approved Mission Deck. Be sure to check out all availabe and fully compatible terrain pieces starting here. This PDF will give you a Bastion Tower and four Barrels. The Bastion Tower fits all 28mm tabletop games with a Modern or Future-Fantasy setting. Make sure to check out the fitting models of the fortification series available and coming soon.

As an advanced defensive position or as encampment security perimeter, this very quick to build basic terrain set will find lots of uses on your tabletop. Add security to your Communication Tower, Landing Platform or Tower Control. Or use them as forward defensife perimeter for your Fortification Wall or Silo Formation. There are lots of uses for this set and i think, like the Containers, it is basic accessory that should be available to choose from when creating an immersive battlefield. This PDF will give you a range of moduls for a Defense Line that can be set up very flexible. The Defense Line fits all 28mm tabletop games with a Modern or Future-Fantasy setting. Make sure to check out the fitting models of the fortification series available and coming soon.

I bought this Pegasus Hobbies piece years ago. I painted it in basic gray colors and used it in a few dozen games. Last year, I and a comrade decided to level it up. I hope you like it. The original building had an open top. This was covered in plasticard. A building from Age of Sigmar was added. Then texture paste and some random bits were added to the rooftop. The model got a new coat of paint followed by a heavy wash. I can't remember if it was Nuln or Agrax Earthshade. A sponge was used to apply more texture. Rust effects were added. Finished work Game pictures BTW, some folks really went to town with this kit building a large table centerpiece. I have no idea how many kits they used. Thanks for looking.

Hello Warlords of the Chaos wastes! I have been playing 40k since 5th edition, and with the release of 10th, I wanted to try and make an incredibly challenging and immersive large game for my player group. The inclusion of boarding action rules making the jump from 9th to 10th helped inspire me to do this, as well as a general love of siege warfare picked up from playing the Iron Warriors. To summarise, in this mission, the attacker must break past my Iron Warrior blockade and into Warsmith Du'Rak's fortress. They are to locate and rescue a powerful navigator the Iron Warriors captured on a previous raid, to prevent them from learning of secret warp routes. The fortress is shielded from teleportation, so the attacker cannot initially deep-strike a terminator squad to clear the place out. Instead, they must storm the walls and break in themselves. While an incredibly difficult mission for the attacker (by my estimate) I am hoping the overall challenge, complexity, and immersion (I plan to have a system in place where the Navigator's master will be relaying information to the attacker as the game goes forward) of the mission will attract players from my group to try it, in particular, a good friend of mine who plays Imperial Fists (while mortal enemies on the tabletop, I ensure you that IF and IW players are the best of friends from a shared love of walls and trenches) who I'm certain will love to give this mission a go. I went and got the boarding actions terrain kit from my LGS and have only just finished cutting it out of the sprue. I've noticed that while doing some test assembly that the double wall pieces don't slot in very easily, so I'll need to file that down sometime in the future. For now, here is the set up for my interior stronghold. Those who have Arks of Omen Abaddon will recognise the setup from one of the scenarios, and this is because that mission breaks the board into five chambers, which is what I wanted to do for my castle. This is going to go behind a large wall, and the attacker will need to enter at one of the three objective markers, either by storming the main gate (entry 2) or by getting models atop the outer wall and "embarking" into one of two towers (entries 1 and 3) What I want to do to amp up the difficulty even more is cover each chamber with a bit of cardboard in the shape of the room so that the attacker will effectively be going into each room blind. Each chamber will also have a lot of scatter terrain in it to convey a rooms purpose, stuff like an armoury, command centre, that sort of thing. The hostage the attacker will need to collect will be in the medical facility (here marked with a hated Imperial Fist Chibi). I did see Mantic games has a sci-fi terrain set which I will get to act as terrain. For the moment however I'd like to make a start on the main walls. I've elected to paint my walls in this style, as found in Duncan Rhodes' Painting Academy tutorial on youtube. As a general rule, I like to write up the steps found in these style tutorials, which makes it easier for me to reference whenever I'm actually painting. That's all I have for my first post. I have one set of walls set up to be painted (funnily enough the type found in Duncan's tutorial, purely because they slotted in easiest without need of further intervention) which I hope I can show in my next update. I will also hope to expand further into the mission rules. See you then, Spiros14
