Papa comes a visitin’
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? You can find it in the Battle Reports section here. More soon…
Heavies, forward!
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, [...]
Proxy is, as proxy does…
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 [...]
Marching on with the Sternguard
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
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 [...]
Crouching Veteran, Voxxing … er… other Veteran?
I’ve completed basic assembly on the Commtech for the Sternguard squad. The pose is a little rough, as his hand is only tacked on at the moment… I’ll adjust it when I’m ready to glue everything in place and sculpt on the missing detail.
Another one from the cabinet…
Continuing my crusade to get all of my miniatures photographed (and hampered somewhat by a dodgy LCD monitor which leaves me wondering if the colours and contrast of these pics is anywhere approaching what they should look like), here’s the next old miniature dusted off and photographed:
The Great Army Update – Painting Flames
Made a little more progress on my Imperial Dragons squad, adding the flames to their right shoulder pads: It’s been quite a few years since I did any of these, and in that time GW have changed their washes… so I’m not sure if the roughness of these is down to my rusty technique or [...]
Blast from the past…
Over the years, with software changes and camera upgrades, there are a few bits and pieces that have either come and gone from the gallery, or simply never been added in in the first place. I’m hoping over the next few weeks to work my way through the cabinet and add those missing minis back [...]
‘Arm’ing the troops…
Got a little more work done on the True-scale Sternguard… Started with sanding down the torsos to get them nice and smooth and armour-ish.
