I recently shared some pics of my 120 point Koritanii force, as used in the ‘Enter, The Pact’ battle report. You can check them out now on the Maelstrom’s Edge website here!

Terrain Spotlight: Drone Substation Quick-paint.
I was rummaging through some storage boxes the other day and came across a building that I had assembled a very long time ago and never got around to finishing. And since it has once again been a little while since I played with terrain, that seemed like as good a reason as any to take some time to get some paint on it!

2nd Ed Style Necron Monolith
Found some time on the weekend to get some more work done on my 2nd edition Necron revamp. Along with making some progress on the codex and tinkering with datafax design, I started sculpting up a 2nd ed style monolith, because why not? Still WIP, but I think it’s coming along nicely.
Terrain Spotlight: Tissue Box Building
The big joy of the Maelstrom’s Edge terrain sprue, for me, is that wandering around the house turns up an endless wealth of items just waiting to be turned into wargaming scenery by slapping some bits on it and painting it up. This week, I turned my attention to the recycling bin, where a humble tissue box was just calling out to be saved from the weekly rubbish collection. With a little cutting and gluing, and a lick of paint, I had Atmospheric Modification Plant #14 ready for the table!

Modeling Spotlight: Rodent Ball Spaceship!
The Kaiser Industries OR-8 ‘Gaterunner’ was originally designed as a small freighter. Sales were initially poor due to its limited cargo space compared to other ships in its class, combined with a lack of artificial gravity and other ‘non-essential’ crew-comfort systems in the interests of keeping the ship’s mass as low as possible. Despite its ungainly appearance, the OR-8’s speed and manoeuverability were excellent, however, resulting in the ship becoming popular with short-ranged couriers who used them primarily for 1- or 2-gate hops between systems. With the coming of the Maelstrom, many of these couriers were pressed into service as evacuation craft, with their non-pressurised cargo holds retrofitted to accomodate sleeper capsules.
This was a project spawned by a rodent ball habitat dome idea shared by Patrick Keith a while back on the COUNTERBLAST Facebook group. I had originally intended to do something similar, but when I received my ball it turned out to be a little smaller than I had pictured. While I was figuring out whether or not I needed another small hab dome alongside my salad bowl domes, I decided that the markings on the ball made for nice detailing for a cool ship design. And so the OR-8 was born!
