The starting point for this trike was the bike that comes on the Implements of Carnage (1st gen) frame from North Star. It’s a fine sculpt and cast but has …more
War Bastard (Heavy Truck)
This truck started as a thought experiment: You see, in Gaslands, weapons can be front, rear, side or turret mounted, with the side mounted weapon being able to shoot to …more
Kitbashed/Scratch Eldar Autarch
This Autarch dates from April 2013, so I think it will probably take the trophy for the longest time between being started and finished at a hefty 8 years (oddly, …more
Gaslands Monster Truck
After the Porsche 911 from Deathrace this is my next well documented Gaslands build, though the 5th vehicle I’ve actually completed. I actually started this monster truck slightly before the …more
Start as you mean to go on…
This year I’m re-joining Yaktribe’s “Finish Your Stuff Challenge”. It started this month, presumably giving all the contestants a breather from the end of 2020’s challenge, which I didn’t take …more
Part 7: Painting
I’ve continued my March painting spree (hey, it’s a spree by my standards) by finally finishing the Squat Miner in Exo Armour. This is another laughably delayed finish, having first …more
Painted Coach
This month I’ve basically finished a monumental reorganisation and tidy up of the man cave. As part of this, I’ve rediscovered quite the haul of old models and projects, and …more
Death Race Gates – Part 1
I started my gates at the beginning of 2020 by building the basic structures out of some laser cut MDF girders I had picked up years ago, intended for Necromunda …more
Tutorial: Concrete Jersey Barriers
2020 was probably one of my worst years in terms of hobby productivity. I had a good first three months of the year, but once lockdown hit I lost all …more
Porsche 911 from Death Race
This is a long post with tonnes of photos, documenting my attempt to turn a bog standard Hot Wheels 911 to the most accurate replica of the 911 that 14k …more
Slide to Victory!
I rarely write about tactics, not least because I’m not terribly good at most of the games I play. About the only times I do are when there are some …more
Tutorial: Arena of Death Turrets
Along with “Death Race” and “Saturday Night Live”, I would say that “Arena of Death” is one of the three quintessential original Gaslands scenarios. In it, players engage each other …more
Speed Painted Stormlord
In January I vowed to finish Father Cain & Constance Palamedes. Towards the end of the month I also decided to speed paint a super heavy tank (I’m titling it …more
Crusader & Drill Abbot
Constance Palamedes, Crusader For the longest time I’ve been starting Crusader kit bashes and then abandoning them half built. This one was a breakthrough, using a Stormcast Sequitor as a …more
Painted Boyz
I made a push to finally get the majority of Gorfragg’s Gitflinga’s painted. There’s still the troll, coaching staff and probably a couple of goblins to go, but it’s nice …more
2020 Goals
There was no monthly challenge on Yaktribe for December. Each month the community voted on their favourite entries, and totalling up those votes across the 2nd half of the year …more
Karandras, The Shadow Hunter
In my continuing quest to complete the entire Phoenix Court of Khaine for some imagined (and quite possibly never to happen) future Apocalypse mega battle, I arrived at Karandras. Literallly …more
Finishing Tonnes of Stuff!
This is the final month of the 2019 Finish Your Stuff challenge so I decided to be true to the name and scoured my boxes of (mostly) started but unfinished …more
Tutorial: Sandy Desert or Scrubland Bases
In this tutorial, I’ll write a step by step guide showing you how to make sandy desert bases that look like this: Before we get to the tutorial, …more
Ministorum Preacher & Arco Flagellant
A preacher, Melchior Mathis. He’s made from an old Empire Sigmarite Priest – fantastic little models to work from, if quite a pain to cut, file and sand away some …more
Ruined City… in TWO DAYS?
Yesterday a friend and I kicked off a new Kill Team campaign pitting my Adeptus Ministorum and Ordo Hereticus against a Chaos Cult of Nurgle and their Death Guard masters. …more
September: Adeptus Ministorum
Last month I finally started playing some Kill Team with a club member. We’re playing through the campaign that comes in the Rogue Trader expansion, so I’m using my Elucidian …more
August: Fuegan, Scorpions, Bonesinger & more
August was a bit of a bumper month. I was inspired by July’s return to painting Eldar models so had a dig to see what else I could finish off, …more
Fuegan, the Burning Lance
Next on the chopping block was Fuegan. This model suffers from many of the same issues as Asurmen, notably an overly squat stature with very short legs, and resolutely being …more
July: Asurmen & Wraithblades
Let’s just ignore the huge gap between March and now, shall we? This month, I vowed to finally complete Asurmen (a model I converted in April 2016) and a squad …more
