A little more… February 6, 2011 at 11:28 am

A little more arm work on the Sternguard this morning.

Finishing off a hand… still needs a thumb:

Getting A-Head February 5, 2011 at 8:57 am

Put the finishing touches on the Sternguards’ head this morning:

I’m sending these off to have enough for the squad cast up in resin, to save a bit of work on trying to get a squad of them all looking the same. Updates as I get them :)

Looking Stern… January 11, 2011 at 6:55 am

It’s been far too long between updates on these guys…

The end is nigh.

Papa comes a visitin’ September 2, 2010 at 4:04 pm

The third in my series of old 3rd edition battle reports is now online.

This time around, it’s a 1000-point battle between Imperial Guard and Nurgle’s … er, finest?

Imperial Guard vs Nurgle Space Marines

You can find it in the Battle Reports section here.

More soon…

Heavies, forward! August 30, 2010 at 3:03 pm

I’ve been intending to update the Marines for a week now, but wound up working longer hours than usual at both of my other jobs, so only just got caught up…

I performed an arm swap on the first Heavy Bolter marine, to bring the weapon up into more of a ‘bringing to bear’ pose, and swapped his arms onto the second heavy marine, who is in more of an advancing pose…

Also finished basic assembly on the remaining two marines:

Ancient Battles August 28, 2010 at 8:47 am

Back in the dim and murky mists of time, I had started posting Warhammer 40K battle reports on my old Infernus website. These were abandoned as the apathy of 4th edition set in, but with 5th edition rekindling my love of 40K, I thought it would be fun to dust them off and put them back up online, and hopefully add some new ones when I find the time.

So I have kicked things off with the first two of the original reports, Biglug’s Day Out, a 1500 point Ork vs Imperial Guard battle, and Enter The Dragons, a 1000 point battle between Space Marines and Imperial Guard.

You can find these, and hopefully fairly soon the others, in the new Battle Reports section.

Proxy is, as proxy does… August 18, 2010 at 3:48 pm

It helps sometimes to have a large and assorted collection of miniatures…

I’ve been introducing a couple of teenage relatives to the joys of Warhammer 40K, setting them up with basic armies to get them started and running through some games of varying sizes with different army lists to get used to the rules.

We ran a slightly larger game than we’ve previously played on the weekend, which, due to the limitations of my current armies, required some ‘creative’ stand-ins.

For the Necrons, behold the might of the fearsome Monolith-E, shown here deep striking onto the table (and unfortunately scattering into Difficult Terrain and getting stuck…)

Marching on with the Sternguard August 4, 2010 at 3:11 pm

I did a little more work on the Sternguard’s Heavy Bolter, folding up the bipod and adding a carry handle. Still a little more detail work to go.

From the cabinet: Huron Blackheart July 24, 2010 at 8:41 am

I started my Red Corsairs way back in the grim darkness of 2nd edition. Since there was no model for Huron Blackheart at the time, I (rather badly) converted one up based on the Blood Angels’ Commander Dante, but was never entirely happy with it and eventually ripped it apart for bitz.

When I updated all of my armies in 2004, I dusted off the Corsairs and rebuilt them using the 13th Company rules from the Eye of Terror codex. Since my original Huron was in various bitz boxes by that point, I built a new one based on Marneus Calgar.
