Yo! Apologies for the last false start. I am well and truly ready to get back to it now! I was going to start off with a cheeky Cron army (easy to paint, few models, up to date blah blah) but I got a speeding ticket and I decided to return to my original project that I started last year before the move and baby shinanaighans. bah. Im off down to the club to have a refresher game with Skaltar

Hi Sorry for no updates etc, but I have taken a long break from the hobby. I think its just what I needed, I will however be coming back with my daemons (40K) as I miss the tourny scene and want to do a ToS @ Warhammer World. The only difference this time is I wont be committing as much man hours to the hobby and I will be buying next to nothing model wise. BUT I need help, I have decided to

Yo Their was something bugging me about my Cryx army which is why I havent painted anymore until I could put my finger on what. After watching Pirates of the Caribbean, I realised what. I was making a pirate themed army on snow bases! The theme just wasent working so I decided to make this test base with a theme of jungle. I searched the web and noticed people have been using aquarium plants.

Hi Well, no not really, but look what mr Postman brought! This is my 50pt Terminus list, with a couple of options. Im going to get another Warcaster and a few other units as alot of tourmies seem to require you to take more than one list. I will see how this Tier 4 pirate list fairs before I fully commit to another list. But Im really looking forward to getting this lot painted up. This is

This is now matt varnished and based.... Im not to keen on the base and am waiting for Shane to point it out! I just think its a bit bland. Anyway Im pleased with how it's come out and cant wait to have a fully painted Cryx army. Hope you like. Oh and got these cool skull beads to use as focus markers, very fitting for pirates!

Yo Really pleased with this, straight forward to paint. And I learnt something - I HATE BATCH PAINTING Painting my Orks was a really horrible battle of time management whereas this was a nice experience where I could pull the most of what I could do. I have found areas of improvement also which now serves as an incentive as opposed to the excuse of I have loads to paint - that's why its a bit

I decided to use my new expensive airbrush with these... big mistake! The thing keeps clogging and thats with pure AB cleaner before I put any paint through it. So I went back to my old one and adjusted the air pressure really low and layered the grey to white. I used the Vallejjo air paints... so easy not having to mix and using the dropper bottle to use exactly how much you need. This

Well what can i say, my first bit of hobbying for nearly 4 months! As you may have seen from my other posts I have been getting into Warmachine. Im really starting to get into this now and I think Im going to with a Terminus Tier list.... basically a controlled themed list to the non PP people. The theme - Undead Pirates... yup awesome! Anyway this kit Terminus... I warn anyone this model is not

Yo! I had my first taster game of Warmachine last night and having only ever played 40k and some spec games before was a massive move for me. I found the game in depth. You have a lot to remember with your own army. So I really want to know my first army like the back of my hand! I have used the online army list maker (here)  to make this list, with only a very basic knowledge of rules and

Im not one for these kind of things, as I think if you dont like a product or whatever just dont buy etc, etc. But whats interesting is that what he is saying fits with what I am doing without me giving it to much thought. I have bought into WM, but really I have stopped buying much wargaming stuff generally because I dont like whats happening at GW. Mainly because I really only have time to play

Yo! I have ordered the remaining Bloodcrushers I need to complete about 2K Khorne Daemons. I have decided that this is eventually going to be my tourny army Im going to use for some years to come. Hulls Angels (my local club) are running a "Tale of the X Gamers" combined with a campaign. The idea you start off with 500pts and build up to 1750 in 250 installments. Great idea imo, I really want

Just to let you know Im still here and I will be picking up the hobby again soon with my daemons. The club Hulls Angels is running a campaign based on the tale of X gamers where you build paint and play starting at 500pts building up to 1750. The first 500pts need to be ready by the 21st of July... Im really excited about it and should be a great way to get my stuff done. Im esp looking forward

A three month saga of decorating, putting the house on the market, the house selling on the first viewing not even being a day on the market, surveyor reports and finally the icing on the cake... my boiler breaking down a week before the move costing me a cool £1300 to get a new one installed! Plenty of alcohol and sleepless nights and Im finally here...     I am yet to fully unpack my hobby

This is non Warhammer related! Basically my work is branching out into the app world and has made a really cool game. The only problem is we are stuck on the name. We have narrowed it down to three and would really appreciate it if you could vote by following this link.... http://www.jmp-partnership.co.uk/jmp_game/

Just to let everyone know I will be not doing much hobbying over the next few months as we are hopefully moving. I wont be at the club much either, but the campaign is very easy for me to keep running, so that will still be going on and I should still find time to throw in exciting missions, senarios and bonus's. On a side note my good friend Vorro/Nathan has just set up a blog and its well

Well what can I say, this is one of if not the best tournaments I have attended. Why? You ask. Was it because my list performed badly all weekend? - No. Was it the fact I finished 111th? Nope, it was the company, atmosphere and the well executed organisation. The venue itself at Maelstrom is enough to compete with Warhammer World. It may not have as much bling, but it has a really authentic feel

Prices and full pics to come early next week. thanks for looking.  Im moving this year and I am having a clear out. I have one more tourny with the Orks this weekend and then I will be selling them.

Wooo as the title, we have been busy prepping the house to put on the market so my hobby time has really been suffering! I have decided I am sick of my Orks, Im taking a half arsed list to UK GT thats a real do or die'er. Im sick of looking at the half baked paint job I gave them and have decided although I have a huge army painted which is great, Im never going to that again. I putting

OK, been a bit slow this week, we are decorating the house! :( But I managed to get this Defiler built (I still have another and debating a massive conversion mixed with the new spider model - but also debating how that will work and fit into my army). I repositioned the leg ends to get a more dynamic pose than the standard issue one. Damn this is a nice model, and only a few more points that a

Well, I really appreciated the crit and I think the streaming banners are really effective as they are adding movement to the model... Not sure, I think I might add a couple to the Jugga...???

Hi Right I have made my list. Its not out and out competitive and Im sure there are more competitive builds. But I think it will hold its own if I use it correctly. Its more to fit with my army fluff... which I will go into at a later date, but for now all you need to know is its a fleet based Khorne army that is made up piratical traitors who want to be blessed into the the main central beacon

OK, your all probably sick of looking at this, but its the centre piece to the army and I want it perfect, or at least as perfect as I can get it. I love the over sized banner, but if the overall census is that its stupid, I'll change it. I do want this model to be over the top, but not at the expense of it looking good or not. Oh and Dont worry my blogging be lessened this week while I glue the

Well, I have got myself some new paints and inks. As much as I love GW washes, they don't do everything I want them to do all the time. I wanted some old school proper inks and after fishing round the net I found some minaiture painters using Andrea inks. Couldn't seem to find anywhere that reviewed them, but I thought what the hey I'll give them a go. As I was googling I noticed they do sets

Okay I have given up with scenery completely now, I'll come back to it later in the year. I'm totally mojo'ed after the weekends frollicks at Warhammer World and I'm giving it my best shot to get nominated at the next tourny. This is VERY WIP, Kit bashed a Jugga, parts from the CSM, Chaos Lord and FW zerker. Im going to try and GS a cloak of some kind after Tim bent my arm. Unfortunately that

These are not my models, they are the winning armies I took pictures of at doubles I attended on Friday/Saturday/Sunday.  I thought the standard was really high and saw my bro and friends army get nominated (i didnt take any pics as I have seen that army so many times, but you can find loads of pics here and here ).

Well Im back and I had a great time, the event was fantastic and really well organised. Gaming wise we suffered from some silly mistakes that could have maybe won us a couple of games, we ended up only winning one game, but tbh I was glad because it was my first experience of "that guy". They were running a Valk and Mech IG list. He was arguing with his team mate and missus because they lost

As you know Im trying really hard with these guys. Im still in the building process, its taking me a while because Im spending time getting the poses right. I like the CSM models as a whole, but its very easy to put them in non dynamic poses...

Im a bit bored of scenery now so i will come back to my board later in the year. I have a big appoc game in the summer with my orks so I have a few bits to finish off with them as well. But for now, its new army time, I am going to be quiet for a bit while I glue/convert this army Khornes Talons. Here is a start, I didnt realise how good the plastic CSM models were and they a re pretty old now.

Well some progress, I have built the landing pad and Fortress of Redemption. Really want to get cracking now as I need to still snow up the scenery. I am getting some masking frisk from Hobbycraft so I can airbrush some stencils designs on the bastions. Also I want to do some salt weathering. Also  I had an idea of making a new cheeky 1.5K Crimson Fist army for tounies... but lack funds...

I have finished the board sections and although I have given the scenery a light blast of Skull White, I still need to go back and snow flock it all. Im going to use the bicarb snow for some of it. I have another bastion to build, 4 more sets of Aegis Defence line a Fortress of Redemption and other stuff... Im really please with how its turning out!

Ok, I have been tinkering and tinkering trying to get an effect to work on my board which has been causing staining issues (due to the real soil and mixed herbs I originally used). After two coats of PVA, I got a nice ice effect. So I then spayed Skull white. I must admit it started to look great. Then I had the idea if I splodge some PVA over some patches I'll get an awesome melting snow/frost

Hi After a long break I decided to head back to the my old internet hang out Minus1modifier! I have been condensing down all the boards and installed some new anti-spam software. Its more of a chatty forum and you wont find mods telling you off for double posts and such. you can find it here: Modeling wise I have been having disaster after disaster with my board I think I have turned a

I have a Planetary Empires kicking about with the hive city tile etc. But it occurred to me, it would be a lot easier to run in a digital format. I have made this map and Im going to give it a go at my local club (Hulls Angels). Need to work on the back story and whatnot, but I thought keep it simple for now and set it on a mining world. Has anyone run one of these things? If so do you have any

Here are the pics I should have posted before... I coated the board with PVA This looks pretty good... but its just PVA - not my snow effect! This is why - The PVA should totally seal the board and stop this nasty mess! There are a few failed snow attempts on there!!

Ok, the Bicarb works... kind of. I'm now having issues with my board colouring the stuff and I think its reacting as well because its not drying! It was orgianlly made with topsoil and PVA. It also has dried herbs and things on it.... So what I have decided to do is seal my boards with a big pot of PVA.... I hope this works!! Im hoping to get all the boards done and scenery done this week.

...Its true, I have started testing my snow for my biggest board and scenery project for a couple of years! First off I have been using this awesome tut, which is how I am basically making my snow with a couple of adjustments. Ultrawerke - Snow tut My materials below... (the floor polish is same as Klear/future - UK peeps can get it from Lakeland plastics) Its hard to get the consitancy

It has arrived! I'm going to have some fun with this. I have adjustable nozzles, dual action and should compliment my other airbrush. I can fully recommend these guys - fast delivery and very helpful... everythingairbrush My plan is to work on scenery next. Im turning my board into a winter wonderland of snow.

Finally got the motivation to finish this guy, I'm really sick of painting Orks now - but I had to get him finished for gaming/tourny purposes. If Im honest the conversion was a bit rushed and I dont love it. I'm pleased with the glow effect and I have used my new Vallejo florescent colours. I also used my matt medium to make washes which was great. So the paint job although not 100% on my part -

Ok spent the best part of yesterday putting together this set. This is just the kind of thing I would have loved when I was younger. I think these sets are awesome - great smell and loads of plastic! The only niggle I have is they havent supplied movement trays. Now I'm a WFB newb, but I still know that trying to move those models in units - esp the Skaven would but a pain. GW you tight wods put

Ok, sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been busy with stuff and since ToS I havent been able to muster up the will power to paint or do anything hobby related really. But that is about to change, I have got some cool stuff for chrimbo with lots of variety so should keep me interested for a while: First up though is going to be IoB as my bro is coming round tomorrow and we are going to

After my ToS shinanaigans I have got to work on an extra Big Mek so I can run two Kustom Force Fields to try and give me a better chance if I draw DoW. I used an AoBR nob I got free from White Dwarf and stuff from my bitz box that I dont know what some parts are even from!

Tim Davies (Link) was more organised than me and took more pics!! So Im just going to add the few more he took of mine, check out his other shots here . Well worth a look there were some awesome armies! And this was one of the tanks from the best army - truly well deserved win it was amazing!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was busy finishing my army for ToS which was this weekend. I'll start by saying I had a great time and I faced some cool opponents. But there were a couple of things I wasent happy about which I will explain after the pics! Gaming wise I was a fail, but not all is lost as Im going to tweak the list and get rid of the shokk attack and add another Bigmek FFS. I

Pretty pleased with this guy - ties in nicely with my other stuff. Quite a few hard to reach places which was annoying, but pretty straight forward paintjob.

I am normally someone who cant stick whinging forums about people moaning about prices and how GW should run there company. I say if you cant afford something tough, buy what you can and enjoy that. Having said that I was looking over the website the other evening as I had aspiring ideas to extend my Ork army into different clans. I don't know at what point I hadn't noticed where things have got

lol Well despite the result .. I had a cracking game against Drax (Mark). We decided to go for my worst senario DoW and Seize ground with 5 objectives. We just decided to do it as I had a KP game and Pitched Battle last time which favoured me. I need hard practice for ToS and requested to do this. The game was pretty even.

Wasent quite happy with the setup I had before, the rocket launchers were expensive and not reliable enough.... so I had a jiggle round and added some Lootas - 12 to be exact and I have now burdened myself more to paint! :( Please feel free to crit my list, Im open to all suggestions.

I feel as though I have been painting these forever, and I can now finally unveil them as done! I pleased with them - i think they look pretty for me, ok they aint a best winner - but hopefully they will raise a smile.... Really dull dark day today and the pics are not great so apologies... may take some more tomorrow. I have also changed my list. I have got rid of the Rocket launchers

I am on holiday next week and I really want to get through as much as pos before I go away. I decided to put the Kans down and just build everything I need so I can prime and just paint when it suits. Unfortunately I was up till 1am and whilst building my dred I had to make some impromptu conversions. 1. I dropped the last exhaust whilst gluing it. I heard it hit the box below me - so cheerfully

I saw a blog/forum tut a while back about using this Windsor and Newton Matt Medium to make your own washes out your GW paints. I decided I'm going to give it a blast, cant find the original article but from early testing you need to thin your GW paint with a bit of water and then double that with the medium, worked pretty well. The key is finding the right mixes as this stuff makes your paint

Not going as fast as I'd like, but I have done some more on the Kans. These are still PiP - need to base - add pigments - seal and add blood! Im pretty pleased, Im going to plod on with them tonight. Also I made my ToS cover, which I will reveal nearer the time.... anyway pics....

But in my defense I did make make my first week a tough one with 9 Kans! I also added some shoulder pads last minute that held me up... but I will keep log of my lost weeks and try and make them up. My other planned stuff is not quite as intense so I should easily keep up. Anyway progress... Im estimating a two week loss on these and they are at base coat stage with about 70% more work to do on

Ok I have been lax in updating with pics! I'll get on that this weekend! The truth is I haven't painted much and I would like to make a fresh start with a check list. I have had enough of army painting and I have listed my next 6 months and am going to update the blog with. I don't want to sell my 40k Chaos stuff off so I really am stuck with getting it painted.

Just about there with this, need to add weathering powders. Not quite finished and satisfied with it yet, but I have learned a lot. I can be a bit less subtle with airbrush because by the time i have varished - washed - blah blah it dulls down quite nicely. I spounged paint chips with grey - needs to be a darker grey. So I have tweaks, but definite progress! Finished pics soon Going to start

Built a Rhino ready for my painting tomorrow. I should think I will only get the interior done, but I'll make some CSM in between waiting for stuff to dry.I really wanted to make it look Khorny, but I hate the railings on the spikey bits sprue. I got a wave of inspiration and realised I could use those stupid choas gun barrel ends as gargoyles, I think they look rather fetching, and I will paint

OKI have finished with building the blog and now its time to start updating it.As I have said the army I'm working on is a WE Splinter force. Basically they work a bit like the Red Cosairs and are like pirates scavenging for ships, equipment, weapons etc etc. Also not all the CSM are World Eaters as they pick up recruits and strays as it were. It is a one god army as I just think it gives a more
