My Dark Eldar warriors took first place in The Fang last weekend! I also placed third with a Skaven Warlord in the fantasy singles category.

Ultramarines Special from White Dwarf 97, January 1988. They don’t like to talk about this sort of thing any more.

Lesser known fact - this article was originally submitted to the GW Studio (finger-spaced and in wax crayon) in 1987 by an infant Matt Ward.

This sort of blew my mind. So. Weird.

Check it out, it’s Power Metal about 40k! And it doesn’t suck!

Tad Morose’s ex-singer, Urban Breed, is an old gaming buddy of mine. We’re talking way back. My gaming group (age 14-ish at that time) introduced his gaming group (10 years our seniors) to 40k, and they introduced us to legendary stuff like Axis & Allies, Supremacy and Advanced Civilization. That, in turn, led to him writing songs about Space Hulk and Warhammer dwarfs. Check the embedded playlist.

Urban was also my first contact with competitive gaming. He’s a powergamer who takes delight in the intellectual challenge of gaming; boardgames, wargames and cardgames alike. In short, what I’ve become now. Cheers mate, it only took me 20 years to catch up!

EDIT: I messed up the video embed. Should work now, and here’s a playlist with more Tad Morose as well as a track from Urb’s next project, Trail of Murder.

Just glued the pieces for Battles of Westeros. First time I’ve had to assemble pawns for a board game! It better be worth it, because this was tedious.

English: When I decided to paint a full 2000 point orange Space Marine army, one of the things I was really keen to try was more realistic approach to painting tanks and vehicles.

The idea that my Chapter – or any one for that matter, that spends its time crusading to keep the universe safe – would have shiny, newly painted tanks, it just seemed wrong. So I included as many tanks as possible in my army list to give me plenty of practice!

I studied what other painters were doing and figured that, with an airbrush and using some of the same techniques that I would use on regular infantry minis, I should be able to pull of a decent looking tank relatively quickly!

I’ve now painted a couple of vehicles and I’m well pleased with the results. There’s much room for improvements and I can always get better, of course. But as an example, I painted a Drop pod in this manner in a single day. Not to mention these two Razorbacks and most of a Land Raider in less than a week. I’ll have pictures of the Drop pod and Land Raider in a few days.

I didn’t quite meet my goal of finishing the entire 2000 point army in four months, but I’m almost there. And I’m pleased to see that with a few simple means, I can produce 40k vehicles to a pretty high standard in no time at all!

Everything Roger paints makes me want to ragequit the hobby. There’s no way to keep up with what he’s doing.

The other day Max helped me airbrush a serious chunk of my Dark Angels army. A Dread, a Company Master, a couple of Vets and a Razorback.

We used Caliban Green as base, of course. Then, to get a nice gradient, we made a few zenith highlights using Waagh! Flesh followed by Warpstone Glow. And by “we”, I mostly mean Max.

This is going to be awesome.

dark-gear:

Grotesque #3 from yesterday’s post didn’t quite have the “presence” I was looking for so last night, I put him under the knife and come up with a model that has a bit more character.

The large chains slung over his back and the smaller chains hooked into his flesh are from the Raider kit, whereas the smaller chain hanging from his fist in the front are from the Venom kit.

The right arm was tricky as the hand is from another Rat Ogre and the wrist plate is from the other arm. All had to be cut and filed to fit nicely and minimise the amount of GS required down the road.

Similar to my own, but taken a bit further! Wonderful use of the chains in the right hand.

El nuevo juego de Command & Conquer, titulado Tiberium Alliance tiene unas unidades sospechosamente parecidas a las de Warhammer 40k.

How true is this? Did someone really rip off old Epic sculpts for Tiberium Alliances?

I’m really pleased with how this guy turned out, especially the distribution of yellow and red as contrasts to the armour. I’ll sort out better pictures of him in a day or two, along with the rest of my painted Wolves.

My Dreadnought is very nearly finished. Here’s the base and feet, done.
Then again, maybe I should just put two pillars of cotton smoke on this and use it as a casualty marker?

Aint this a beauty?

World Eaters, from Slaves to Darkness. I love this illustration, it says so much about what the Chaos powers are. Look at the officer in the foreground. The only difference between him and a loyalist marine is the marking on his shoulder. He is no blood-mad fiend. He has just looked into the abyss that looks back, and been shown the truth about mankind’s insignificance.

That, my friends, is Chaos. Not spikes and and distended flesh. That’s just the surface that hides the psychological core.

I love what Max is doing with his Death Guard. More rust and entropy than slime.
