Hi all! So with 8th edition of 40k right around the corner I recently dusted off my boxes of Imperial Guard (sorry, Astra Militarum) and Black Templars, pulling out both masses of unbuilt sprues/boxes as well as all the assembled stuff in its foam. I took a few days to decide which I would be… Read More Project: Black Templars
I haven’t done a whole lot of hobbying recently. But the other week I got my shipment in from Mad Bob Miniatures in the UK, consisting of a few vehicles I am probably going to use for Operation Sting in November. As I’ve mentioned previously in my 2017 hobby goals post, I plan on revisiting the… Read More WIP – Armor, armor everywhere
This article was written in two parts. The first part was written before I knew whether or not I had won my local store’s Ritual of Judgement, the second was written after I knew what I place I finished and I evaluated the first part of this article and see if my predictions were accurate. Let’s get to… Read More Road to Dallas: Judgement Day
With Adepticon done and gone, and a bit of a break taken from hobbying, I’m ready to get rolling again, and the best way to start that is by planning out the year. As we’ve mentioned before, our hobby yearly schedule tends to revolve around Adepticon, with other tournaments (Such as Operation Sting for Bolt… Read More 2017 Hobby Plans – Ben
Even though it is less than two weeks until the Inner Circle’s Ritual of Judgement, I’m not worried. This week saw a whole slew of components finished up. The best progress by far is my entire Field Artillery pit. I’ve decided due to the uniqueness of each piece, I’ll be entering them as their own unit.… Read More Road to Dallas: Crunch Time
Taking a break last week for Easter Sunday, I return with sizable progress. Infantry continues to be done piece by piece and I project to be finished with time to spare at what is currently the three week marker. One of my biggest achievements has been a custom Great Unlcean One. It’s a behemoth of a… Read More Road to Dallas: In the bog, but not bogged down
With Adepticon 2017 done and dusted it’s on to the next set of projects. Now, unlike what I do for Bolt Action, whereI am constantly moving from one army to the next in a never-ending production line, for the next three months, my goal is complete one army for three games. Once the armies are done,… Read More Arena Rex, Blood & Plunder then SAGA
Moving away from rank and file Renegades, this week I focused on my Word Bearers champions, also known as the “Learned Sons”. A vast majority of how I chose to paint these models was inspired by Warhammer TV’s How to paint Word Bearers (Horus Heresy), How to paint Putrid Blightkings and How to paint a Maggoth… Read More Road to Dallas: Learned Sons
After dealing with the flu last week (a price I should’ve expected to pay when seeking the patronage of Father Nurgle…), I’m back to the grind. The pressure is mounting, as my timeline gives me 40 days left (the goal is to have my entry ready to be judged on May 10). It’s time to… Read More Road to Dallas: Seeing red after feeling green
As mass infantry batch painting marches onward, I began looking over my score sheet for Inner Circle. While I have a high model count, It is only 8 of the 18 unit maximum. All eight were not purchased in a Games Workshop store, meaning they were worth two fewer points on my sheet than if… Read More Road to Dallas: Converting models with the good word of Nurgle
