Killteam 40k. Skitarii conversion. Militia 30k.

I am continuing my killteam project as well as my militia project. 

Combining more or less three different 40k kits and a bunch of random spear parts.

Initially these models will be used for killteam. But I do plan on having these guys for 30k as well. Of course there numbers have to grow and considering how long they take to build I guess it will take a long time before they form any kind of proper army. 

However I have so much fun building these guys, so I am mostly looking forward to make more. 

Now I have a couple of days to work on these before Adeptus Titanicus arrives to my doorstep. This is also something I have been waiting for, for a long time. So much fun projects on the horizon. It seems too be a great ending on the summer and an awesome start to this fall.

Killteam 40k. Terrain. Part2.

There we go. The killteam terrain is now finished or at least its good enough to put on the table :) .

This week I plan on getting my first game of killteam on the way and inte following week Titanicus should have arrived :D . 

Killteam 40k. Terrain.

So, between wedding planning for my friend and every day life I managed to start painting the killteam terrain.

Aming to finish this quiet quickly.  

Epic Armageddon. Iron Warriors.

So this is were I will pause the army. There is still a lot I would like to do but there is to many projects I want to start working on. 

Everthing is painted to an ok standard and everything have been based.  

 I still want to add more hazard stripes, make all bases more coherent, add highlights and fix details. But the army is far enough to put on the table. 

Time to move on to the next project for a while.

Epic armageddon. Epic Iron warriors.

So next up on my painting table is an epic army!

Back when I first started playing 40k there was this other game that was realest. Epic 40k was the name and as a kid I dreamed of assembling my own epic army and play battles like in all the 40k artwork. 

But back then as a young lad I could never find the money to start a second game system. 

So some 20 years later I find my self in a position to actually start playing this small large scale war game.

A month or so ago one guy started to talk about epic in my local gaming group. He had some epic models and wanted to start playing. Some other guys joined in and now they have been playing a few times.

Added to this there have been talk about adding epic to the venue of some of the Horus Heresy events here in Sweden.  

So with all that going on I could not resist any longer. 

I went out hunting for my very own epic army. 

And now it have arrived at my doorstep.  

I will of course paint them up as iron Warriors (what else is there) but I will run them as normal space marines.  And the fact that one of my friends will be making an imperial guard army with focus on tanks, I am certain well will see a Horus Heresy, Tallarn battle report :D .

Time to start painting!

This will be sooo epic ;) . 

Horus Heresy. World Eaters. Tactical squad.

Finally done with these guys. I felt like I hit the wall there for a moment and it seemed like I would never finish them. But today is the day when they stand ready. I still need to add the chain axes but I feel I can have a small celebration before they are 100% done :) . 

This time I tried “blood by the blood god” from GW to make the blood effect. Simply loading a toothbrush with some paint and “shower” the models in blood. Afterward going over the splatter with a brush and fixing blobs and so on. I quite like the finish. Easy to do and nice end result.

Horus Heresy event. Iron Warriors. AJAX.

So last weekend I attend the new Swedish 30k event, AJAX.

I had a blast comanding my “iron cybernetics”.

I played 5 games in total. I won 1, lost 3 and tied 1.

Sadly the result don’t reflect all the battles.

Two games of the three that I lost was extremely close and was literally determined by the final dice roll. Some really epic moments took place and over all I am extremely pleased with how the army performed.

Some highlights was when my havocs striped 11 hull points from a glaive turn one and finish it turn two. Or when my leviathan singlehanded walked through half of an alpha legion army. Or why not when my castellax held the line when 20 assault marines and a veteran squad stormed my fortifications.

I am very tempted to make some small modifications to the list but keep the core and attend more events, using this theme.

I were so into the games that I over the course of the weekend almost didn’t take any pictures. But I got some highlights and permission from others to post some of there’s.

I meet so many nice people and saw so many great looking armies. I would like to thank the organizers and everyone I meet. I had a great time!

You can see even more pictures at our Facebook page and on our website.

Horus Heresy. Iron Warriors. AJAX event.

Everything is ready for the “AJAX” event this weekend in Alvesta, Sweden. 3500p of “Iron Cybernetica”, lead by Kyr Vhalen. Small but elite force. Wish me luck. Iron within, iron without!

Horus Heresy. World Eaters. Warhounds. Sicaran Arcus.

Here we have daddy’s new toy. Love the look of this tank. Can’t wait to put this beast on the gaming table. 

Horus Heresy. World Eaters. Tactical squad. Part 3.

The first 10 out of 20 is here by done :) . Nice and bloody as is expected. 

 However, I need to get some chain axes in order to fully complete them. Plan is to make an forge world order in the near future. 

Horus Heresy. World Eaters. Tactical squad. Part 2.

Quick and dirty update on my tactical squad. There is vaccination time for me, and that might sound like I would have a lot of spare time on my hands. Quite the opposite is true. But I do manage to get some hobby done between family time and house stuff. 

World Eaters. Horus Heresy. Predators.

So, I am continuing my little world eaters update. This time I have replaced the old plasma conversion with something that is a little more proper.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the old conversion. But still it bothered me that I had converted the plasma executioners from 40k plasma blasters instead of making the gun from actuall plasma executioners.  

A shout out to my friend Björn that provided the guns.  

World Eaters. Army reinforcements.

A very small update. Well, small for the blog but not for the army. 

Once again the butchers nails is singing and reinforcements is added to my eaters of worlds. Beside adding some chain axes and replacing some 3ed party jump packs. I am also adding 20 more tacticals to the force. 

On top of this I have got my hands on something special. But I think that deserves its own update once it is finished. 

I really like where this army is headed. 60 infantrymen charging forward, supported by some big and heavy guns at the back. It might not be the most effective way to, foot slog most of the army up the battle field. But it will look epic :D .

so I am tinkering with a little of everything at the moment. 

Iron Warriors. Horus Heresy. Volkite support squad.

I think it is time to do the last dash to the finish line. 

For almost a year I have been going through my 4th legion and updating both color scheme and basing.  

I only have a couple of units left now, I can see the light in the end of the tunnel, time to complete what I started. 

Once every unit  have been updated I will add new pictures of the whole grand army.

Really looking forward to check this one on my to-do list :) . 

Word Bearers. Horus Heresy. Laser rapier destroyer.

There is a funny thing about my word bearers. I keep on adding units to the army, making plans and write lists, but I never seem to get around to play them.

 I can get so excited about playing them but at the last minute I change my mind, army and setup. It starts to get a little weird :) .  

Anyway, here is yet another unit for my bearers of the word. Need to book a game with them and stick to it :) .

Word Bearers. Horus Heresy. Tartaros terminator squad.

One more word bearers update. I got bitten by the Lorgar bug ;) .

For anyone new to my blog the two different color schemes in my latest blog posts might look strange. In this case we have the darkest and the brightest examples of my army...the same army.

There is a reason for this and it is deliberate. When I was about to start this army I did what most do, I scavenged the internet for inspiration. And in my quest I found a forgotten treasure. Forgotten by me that is. The picture of John Blanche’s word bearers from the 2th edition chaos codex. I remember how I used to look at that picture for hours. 

I never intended to copy his style but instead be inspired to do something similar but with my own twist. The army I am currently building is the result of this. 

Every unit is painted up slightly different from one unit to the next.  

It is a lot of fun and in my humble opinion, it looks cool and different on the table top :) . 

Horus Heresy. Word Bearers. Tactical support squad.

Finally I have something to post here. It might be easy to assume that my hobby progress have been standing still since last update date. But that is not the case. However, doing things like adding a chain axe here, and doing some highlights there, don’t make for such good blog content.

 I have also been trying out some lists and been playing some games.  

World eaters vs night lords. World eaters vs iron hands. And of course my brethren of steel list vs iron hands. Three very fun games. 

So fun in fact that I don’t know what army I will take for AJAX. If you haven’t heard about it, go check it out:

 http://dirtyk.se/events/ajax

 I am leaning forward world eaters or word bearers at the moment. My idea is to try a new word bearers list next week and after that try to decide what list and army to take. 

this lead me to this update. A tactical support squad with melta guns. Ironically this unit will not feature in the list for next week. But I wanted to add something for the army so why not some cool dudes with volcanoes on a stick :) . 

Horus Heresy. World Eaters. Praevian.

Yes, I am slowly starting to understand that I have an obsession. No matter what legion I build I am unable to leave my robots on the sideline.

I more or less, always bring one or more units of castellax. I just can’t help myself I love these murder robots to much to not include them . So, even if world eaters might be more about axe to face, I gave my legion a pinch of high tech robo-love. 

Horus Heresy. Iron Warriors. Defense line. Part 1.

Just a small update this week. Been hit by the “man flue” (hope I survive this). 

There is still some time before Ajax but I want to get ready in time. 

plan is to bring an variation of the Bretheren of Steel list. It is easy to bring, easy to set up and fun to play.  

For that list I will be rocking a defense line. Not much to look at, at the moment but here goes :) . 

Horus Heresy. Event. Sweden.

Between work and family life there have not been much time for hobby this week. But I managed to do something hobby related.

In July my Horus Heresy club will be hosting it’s own event.

If you have the possibility I would strongly suggest you to sign up.

The artwork and logo is made by yours truly.

Hope to see you there!
