Making a scene

My #NewYearNewArmy this time round is what is often referred to as ‘the third army’ i.e. terrain. I was given the Killzone: Munitorum Hub for Christmas by my long suffering wife, which has supplied me with a bit of terrain to build and also a nice cardboard mat which connects (on one side at least) …

Hobby New Year!

Welcome one and all to that most productive of days! The day when promises are made as to the wondrous achievements expected over the next year. Today I’ve been reviewing the progress made over the last year in getting the troops ready for battle, as well as catching up on other’s efforts. This is my …

Harker’s Heavy Bolter Sings…

Okay, so when I said I’d finished the Guard paint queue I was fibbing a little. There was one unit left: my version of Sergeant ‘Stonetooth’ Harker. Made from a Chaos cultist and a Bretonnian head, the heavy stubber was cut down to form a heavy bolter, and a space marine bolt round was added …

More auxilia join the army

Finishing up the Guard paint queue are these five. In the front row are Rein and Raus from Blackstone Fortress, with Espern Locarno the navigator from the same on the rear left. I’ll probably use the navigator as an astropath, rather than the special character. Another commissar has been assigned to ensure that the troops …

Support staff and bodyguard

Managed to get a bit of painting in between bouts of illness. First up, I changed out the power fist on the Scions sergeant for a power sword, and cut down the box operators back pack to add a bedroll(?). I’d originally built these as the Drop Force Imperator set up, but they will now …

Officers’ Mess – 2 HQ and an Elite

I’ve managed another couple of units over the last two days. First we have a company commander. He is a Major with overall command of A company. His command squad has been built and is awaiting priming. Next we have another company commander (on the left) and his command squad. This Captain has command of …

#NewYearNewArmy? – part 11… – Troops

Hmmm, not sure if I can get away with that title at this point, but the post is part of the project I kicked off at the beginning of the year. I haven’t touched anything 40k related since about April for a few reasons- partly other projects that I’ve posted up either here or on …

One year on…

I haven't posted for a couple of months. To be honest, the distraction bugbear hit me well and good, and I've been indulging in a couple of other projects unrelated to the theme of this site, as well as being dragged back onto another social media platform that has done nothing but become a time …

Back in Black (and green)

I don’t usually post work in progress shots, but as there has been very little progress in the last month I’m making an exception. Having been very distracted from 40k with a return to RPG campaign building it’s high time my rogue trader got some more painted troops. I still need to have at least …

March Forwards!

February's output was nowhere near what I wanted to achieve, in fact I haven't painted anything since my last update. I even missed out on painting up Severina Raine for Lead Balloony's Fembruary challenge. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, the other two players in our household Tale of Four Three Gamers have …
