Continuing with dipping the toe back into 40k, I was due to have my final competition game on the 3rd but my opponent had to pull out last minute due to the dreaded Nurgles rot. Thankfully I was able to find another opponent at short notice and one i’d not played before (not difficult with… Read More Shadow Sentinels vs Death Guard & 40k list evaluation
This post is very late in production as I actually finished these models towards the start of August (the rules of our 40k competition dictated that our force must be fully painted). So without further preamble, these are the finished Intercessor marines for the Shadow Sentinels. Nothing different about this scheme over the others i’ve… Read More Hobby update – 40k – Shadow Sentinels
Although I have a number of models, I very rarely play 40K. This is down to a few things: lack of time (or perhaps more accurately, taking away play time from bloodbowl and fantasy), being put off by the horribly bloated 7th edition ruleset (which was when I first started) and then in my first… Read More Toe in the water, 40K again
Painting hit a bit of a low recently but with a day off and no kids/wife around, I managed to finish off a few of the things on the painting board, namely the new Chaplain on Bike, an apothecary and 11 sternguard. These will be the last marines I paint for a while as frankly,… Read More Hobby update – Space Marines
Warning – will contain expletives! It’s happened, I’ve finally been forced onto the new editor and my god it’s fucking shite. I cannot comprehend how anyone outside of a developer could think the new editor was intuitive. You press return and it adds a new block rather than a new line. I still haven’t worked… Read More Hobby update (Lizardmen, Marines, Assassin) and mini rant about Gutenburg
Space Marine I thought I’d start with something different today. It’s been an age since I’ve painted any 40K, but having split the indominatus box with a club mate, I actually had the urge to do so! The Judiciar was actually the model I least liked in the box. It didn’t take long for me… Read More Hobby update – Space Marine and Bretonnians

A few Fridays ago I played my first game of 8th ed. 40k (and only 4th game of 40k ever) vs one of the club committee members, Nick. (I’ll put my thoughts on 40k in a separate post). Nick decided to use the game to try out a number of things he hadn’t used in… Read More 40k First game
You can normally tell when I’ve not managed to get any game time in, as there seems to be a direct correlation between no games and my hobby output. This is the case at present, though I do have a game on Friday. Unsurprisingly this is 40k. Why unsurprisingly? Well the second correlation I’ve noted… Read More Hobby Update – Space Marines – Squad: March!
++++++ Report to Inquisitor Marleck on the Shadow Sentinel Librarius ++++++ For hundreds of years it has been assumed that the Chapter lacked the gene required to manifest psychic powers (this time fueling rumours that they were an offshoot of the Black Templars). This opinion was furthered by the number of Culexus assassins that had… Read More Hobby Update – Space Marines
