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
Blood Bowl: One Turn Touchdowns with Move 7 teams
I recently attempted a turn 16 one turn score in a game and was only able to work out how to push my Ghoul 3 spaces. After the game I …more
March: Inquisitor Khronos & Retinue
This month my task was to complete 10 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and 6 Frateris Militia. Both are part of the retinue of Inquisitor Hybris Kronos, a character I created for a …more
February: Elucidian Starstriders
This month I first rolled up a task to complete the characters from Blackstone Fortress, but after some thought decided to swap for the Elucidian Starstriders – a similar number …more
January: Forge World Avatar
For January I picked up a D12 with some trepidation and rolled… a 4! Hmm… the Avatar you say? That’s… that’s actually doable! I’ve had this Avatar since approximately 2008. …more
Hobby & Computer Shelving
During the many months of the build I picked up a couple of old wooden pallets that were lying around in car parks and streets and so on. Much like …more
Modelling a Verdigris Covered Statue
Note: this all happened before Games Workshop released a technical paint to achieve an effect like this. Nowadays you could just use a pot of Nihilakh Oxide and get a …more
Warpstone Troll – Part 1
The team’s troll is based on a river troll. With some tinkering I could see that a classic “lineout” Blood Bowl pose would be possible. I glued the legs to …more
Turn & Reroll Markers
Reroll markers are slightly frivolous addition to a team but many Skaven characters come with pretty cool back banners that seem a shame to waste (given they would not be …more
Linerats & Goblins
I was lucky enough to receive the Skaven Shadespire warband “Spiteclaws Swarm” for my birthday this year which I planned to use to build the rest of my Skaven players …more
First Steps: Thrower & Blitzer
Over the last two years or so I’ve collected cool looking Skaven character models knowing I would eventually make an Underworld or Skaven team. This is another benefit of a …more
Building a Miniatures Display Cabinet
I wanted a miniature display cabinet in the man cave, but couldn’t find anything that was the right size and of a reasonable cost so built one instead. I used …more
Storage & Work Area Fit Out
With two main halves of the man cave to fit out, the plan was the left wall would be mainly for storage and the right for modelling. For storage I …more
Walls, Floor & Finishing
Once the electrics were installed I could see the end in sight and started to work on the man cave more regularly. After the odyssey of insulating the cave, putting …more
Insulation & Electrics
Having made a complete building I can now say with some certainty that there is nothing more dull than installing insulation board. It was so boring that completely insulating the …more
Door, Window & Finishing the Front Wall
The next day it was finally time to get this thing weather proof. The reason I’d delayed putting the OSB and cladding on the front for so long was because …more
