Approximate Reading Time: 4 minutes Welcome to my completed Sentinel Diorama, which uses UV resin, a Legions Imperialis base, a Field Ordnance Battery crew member, and a regular Astra Militarum Sentinel. I would also like to add that I started this project long before that Power Washing DLC appeared. Sentinel Diorama Summary The idea for this diorama came from one thought when I was cleaning the rim of a base of pigment; Could I clean pigment away from a model to make it look cleaned? And thus, the idea of having a dusty, worn-out Sentinel being cleaned was born. Sentinel Diorama Completed Gal ..read more

Approximate Reading Time: 4 minutes Another year of the Cadian Shock Blog is complete! It was an odd year that started with loads of individual characters because of not knowing how Warhammer 40K 10th Edition would shape up. During this time, I decided to go into 30K also; hence the Iron Warriors force taking shape through the second half of the year.

Approximate Reading Time: 7 minutes Another run out with 10th Edition Warhammer 40K. I used a similar list to my last two games in this Astra Militarum vs Dark Angels battle. This game was at Boards and Swords in Derby. Astra Militarum 2,000 Points List This is a slightly amended list from my game vs Iron Hands and then vs GSC. I opted for no Lord Solar again, Scions for scoring, Catachans for Scout 6″, Armoured Sentinels for moving and holding an area and then 6 Leman Russ. Changes I made the following changes to the list; I dropped the Attaches, and thus the Astropath; this […] The post ..read more

Approximate Reading Time: 2 minutes Another Forgeworld classic rolls off the painting production line, the Centaur Light Carrier. Centaur Light Carrier Extras There are several extras on this Centaur which I thought worth covering briefly here: I added some radio/radar style equipment from the Chimera kit. All the infantry is from the Field Ordnance Battery kits. Those have a lot of sitting and kneeling legs which made them perfect for this build. Plus the standing pose is just right for the gunner. The Hunter Killer Missile is a 3D print from here. This was from a post on Reddit, but I cannot ..read more
