Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been playing TENTH! #New40k again, this is a while ago, so I'm not sure how much I remember but it was a chance for a few of us to get together. This was Scott's Aeldari versus Otty's Tyranids. Scott and Liam had quite the array, with a Wraithknight, Avatar, Wave Serpent and some Wraithguard.  Otty had some Carnifex, Tyrannofex, Zoanthropes, Hive Guard, Termagants and Genestealers/Broodlord I think we got first turn and, as always, got as far up the board as possible.  I'm pretty sure the Tfex got a really good s ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been playing MESBG again. I'll admit I wasn't 100% looking forward to this. Partly because of the last game, partly because we've played some other games inbetween and also, because we're going to a MESBG tournament at Warhammer World - this is competitive now. There's a responsibility to get it right, know the rules, use your Might and special rules at the right time. Normally I don't care and I've someone else to do the heavy lifting on tactics but now it matters. Which has removed the fun aspect somewhat. Anyway, here's my warband  Du ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been playing MESBG again. This isn't really a battle report as I only have a couple of in game pics and it was a month or so ago, so I've no real recollection of what happened. But the bottom line is we're going to a one day MESBG tournament at Warhammer World and I needed some practice. I wanted to take my Moria Goblins, so we set about making a Warband that looks something like this: Durbûrz 2 Goblin Captains 4 Goblin Prowlers 17 Goblins [of various loadouts] 3 Cave Trolls [2 with hammers, 1 with spear] So everything is my own, except for ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer I know it's only four figures but I'm really chuffed with these. The thing is that despite not technically being on my TO DO LIST they actually represent 'decide on how I will paint my Primaris...' This has been an internal debate I've been having with myself for years now and this has helped make the decision. I'll come back to that in a bit, but for now I just want to talk photography again. Rather than power up the old phone and go Ektacam these are a mix of my phone's native app  and Camera360 with the ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer Underworlds Ironsoul's Condemnors... Yes, I know it seems leftfield and completely off-list but I assure you it's not. I've had two [or three] sets of these from one of the AoS Hachette partworks for a good while. And I decided to try and paint them in the same colours as the Dark Angel's successor chapter - the Guardians of the Covenenat, But before we get to them these are the bases and I started to play around with a blue base, shaded with purple wash - for something a little more fantastical. Various highl ..read more

Bless me #WarHamFam for I have sinned, it's been nearly 6 months since my last confession! There's a variety of reasons for this but predominantly it's time. I'm struggling to fit everything in and once again if it's a choice between painting and blogging then painting will win every time. The problem is that I'm also finding it difficult to fit in taking pictures. With a lot of projects painted in sub-assemblies it can be tedious arranging a dozen tiny weapons, just to show they're primed, or have silver basecoats. On the plus side I continue to be relatively productive. Completi ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer And here we have the pics on white background for the connoisseurs. And I had a bit of fun making a 360° video, challenging myself to 'remove' the lazy Susan. Or at least obscure it. I'll try doing some more but they're slightly time-consuming. If I can find a quicker process I'll commit to it, but for now it's just playing around. I've always preferred the bigger knights, but these little guys are beginning to sway me Absolutely the right choice to switch to red bonding studs on the Headhunter. Also ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers. It's amazing how quick these come round sometimes. But once again I run the gamut of how to showcase my Red Planet pics. As Ektacam doesn't work on my phone anymore and Camera360 is potato-camming my Velvia pics I took the retrograde step of installing Ektacam on my old phone! So, it's a weird hybrid photography session. But they're done. While I flip-flopped during construction and WiPs between which Armiger was my favourite, I can't choose now  - which is as it should be. The ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers. The Headhunter scheme was not sitting right with me.  Without the yellow and black it was almost like House Taranis, and they don't need anymore self-promotion. But even adding the chevrons in I wasn't happy. The white studs seemed like an additional element that was confusing things. But the decals were a lot of fun to add on the back shoulder panel - a full on cog-mesh I love the numbers, naturally it should be on the other shoulder but the studs prevented it, but it just ..read more

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Imperial Knight Armigers and it's time for the BLESSED VERDIGRIS ? Despite the polarised feelings of progress and stagnation getting the patina on has made a huge difference. But not just that I did highlights in places too. Some of the weapons were a bit behind on the metallics but this surge in development was helping keep the project going.  Not without some trials though, I had applied washes to the Gamboge and in some places it seeped under the paint, puckered it like fingers left in the bath too lo ..read more
