Limited Edition Marneus Calgar

Marneus is complete. He has come out really well and sits nicely alongside Marius Gage (my TH/Shield Eternal Chapter Master). The combined limited edition Space Marine Captains have come together brilliantly with some help from the pipe roller.

The glowing powerfirsts I think work well, but I still think some more needs done to my non-metallic metal work (iron halo on back pack). The pipes going into the bolters under the gauntlets work superbly. I think as a kit bash/conversion of a really iconic character goes, this has the required credibility and looks the part. What do people think?

My Armies on Parade board is coming together. The levels are complete and the sand/black lava is applied. Time to base coat! Terminators up next. Their bases and faces are all done just need to get the main bodies all finished. Currently I would say I am on track…for now. HTB.

Space Marine Redemptor Dreadnought Points Analysis

I have promised Rob ( Spikey Bits ) at least twice now I would return to blogging but have failed miserably until now! I am on holiday and getting my ideas together to partake in my own White Dwarf "Tale of Four (one!) Gamers" style hobby challenge to get a Primaris force table top ASAP. There seems to be a gap in the market (soon to be filled by the hobby blogs and Podcasts, not least the Long War and Forge the Narrative ) so having done my own research to shape my army list, I thought I would share build ideas and the points rationale behind it. Here goes... Initial thoughts It is good - not broken, not excellent but good. Toughness 7 is a slight issue given everyone trying to focus on being able to deal with this value. Maybe 8 would have been nice. A 2+ would be too much, but T8...hmm.... we will see. I think it is good anyway. One concern (demonstrated in the Table Top Tactics video) is the degrading effect and impact on shooting once it goes to half health. He ...

House Cadmus Imperial Knights

This post has been sat in my archive for far too long. I am not going to pretend it is new work - it has been up on my Instagram for some time but I thought I would show you some WIP photos and talk through some tips on making what is a very large project manageable. Hopefully of use to someone out there! Three Kinghts is a decent amount of work - but to be fair, you pretty much have an army once you are done. To keep me motivated and to make the project achievable I broke it down into stages: 1. The Metal Skeletons 2. Panel Work 3. Bases 4. Weaponry. This approach will save you time and will help you get 3 Knights above table top quality quickly and efficiently. It won't feel like it as you go - but trust me when you reflect, you will have saved yourself some serious time. There is also a uniformity you can't replicate from doing 1 then adding 2 later on... Take the pain and work in multiples....read on... 1. The Metal Skeletons: Army Painter Silver Rattle C...

Ultramarines Forge World Glaive Super Heavy Tank

After 2 weeks of 4-6hrs a day working on it the job is done. I am really pleased with the results despite initial frictions with the model and paint application. It has come out lighter and more worn than my other tanks, fitting in with it being an older, rarer war machine. I am very keen what people think about the finished model and where I can look to improve on upcoming projects, namely more infantry elite units, a Storm Raven and a Fire Raptor.
