A Tale of Five Warlords – Introductions

Warhammer 40,000 has entered a new age – the age of the Dark Imperium. In this deadly era, five warlords answer the call to create new armies for the new edition. Every two weeks I will bring you updates from the front as Ben, Duffin, Brian, Adam and Dexter progress from concept to fully painted… Read More A Tale of Five Warlords – Introductions

Road to Dallas: Judgement Day

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

Road to Dallas: Crunch Time

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

Road to Dallas: In the bog, but not bogged down

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

Road to Dallas: Learned Sons

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

Road to Dallas: Seeing red after feeling green

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

Road to Dallas: Converting models with the good word of Nurgle

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

Adepticon, the clock is ticking

With exactly one week until Adepticon 2017 begins I have been in a hobby frenzy. Being on such an extreme time crunch I won’t be going into as much detail as normal for my update. Right now I am working on: Display board for the Warhammer 40,000 team tournament – The display will have two levels;… Read More Adepticon, the clock is ticking
