e is only war though in the present there are only toy soliders the fortunes of war or the hobby adventures of raichase in the far future there is only war though in the present there are only toy soliders operation phoenix kind of week three august 31 2021 leave a comment daemonette champion icon bearer and instrument for my metal daemonette unit i mean this whole theme of the blog was predicated based on building my table up into something great and new and instead i ve just been working on a backlog of toy soldiers instead which isn t a bad thing mind it s just not what i expected still i got an e mail today saying that my air dry clay should be shipping out today or tomorrow which is excellent news given i need it to work on literally any of my terrain pieces continue reading

operation phoenix part two week two begins august 22 2021 leave a comment well i m through the first week of leave so how did i do to be honest i didn t get as much done as i thought i would but i m giving myself a pass this time i was definitely finding out missing things i needed as i went things like a hot glue gun air drying clay and a few other things so that delayed projects as i couldn t just sit down and say i m going to move this to the priming stage today i also had some small setbacks when working on my test terrain piece when my painting method didn t work out the way i planned so it s gone back into the pile to be resprayed continue reading operation phoenix part two week two begins posted in wargames table scenery warhammer 40k tags hobby project lockdown 21 modelling

background or a list of excuses this project has been a long time coming years in fact it s been one of those things you say you re going to do and you just never get around to it there s always something more important interesting or easier to do sometimes doing nothing at all instead with the covid 19 pandemic sweeping across sydney in late 2021 and my annual leave landing smack bang in the middle of it all it seemed there was no way of putting it off any longer continue reading operation phoenix part one a new old table rises posted in wargames table scenery warhammer 40k tags hobby project lockdown 21 modelling painting scenery table warhammer 40k whoa june 28 2015 leave a comment whoa i just realised that i started these word bearers in 2013 that s gotta be a new slow record for getting 500pts onto the table i hope the next 500 will be slightly faster as you were citizens posted in uncategorized after action report the chatswood 500 june 28 2015 leave a comment sorry it s been a while between drinks that s partially because i ve not done much from a hobby sense that s no good so when franz at the chatswood gw store announced a 500pt tournament on the 28 th of june i jumped at the chance to get in three solid games of 40k in a day with the added motivation of getting the last few bits of my 500pt army ready for action continue reading after action report the

2013 leave a comment so anyway i belted out a test model i liked it too so i decided i should pull my finger out and paint the rest of the squad because that seems like something a reasonable person would do i mean seriously who games with one painted model besides unpainted models die horribly because they don t deserve armour saves that being said painstakingly converted and painted models that people want to look at also seem to die really painfully like we re talking limbs torn off by meltagun fire only to have the wounds cauterised by the heat from the weapon leaving a limbless space marine writing in the mud being kicked to death by grots that s why i don t play against people who use grots or meltaguns or daemonettes but that s a whole nother ball game technically not a ball game as i don t play blood bowl but i digress painted models yes continue reading operation big brush posted in warhammer 40k word bearers reboot april 3 2013 leave a comment i started this blog with the best of intentions however it was begun at a time that my interest in the hobby was waning it is only now that through repeated exposure to the horus heresy series of novels i have rediscovered my interest like warhammer 40 000 was rebooted last year with new rules and the beginnings of a new wave of codices it is time for me to reboot this blog to follow the progress of my new project a word bearers chaos space marine army continue reading reboot posted in warhammer 40k word bearers intro models in a tournament army bah september 23 2008 2 comments i know this is an idea that many supposed experienced tournament gamers will scoff at with derision but i am planning to include a lot of intro models in my upcoming ork army eighteen of the ork boyz from the black reach boxed set plus the five nobz the three deathkopters perhaps more and even the warboss model for those of you who have not seen the models they are simple three piece models as standard for the introductory boxed sets of the past like the tyranids in the previous incarnation of the game they are simple clip together models all in similar poses the first of my evil sunz orks await the chance to charge into battle right after they get based and have their eyes painted in anyway click on the photo for the full sized version however if one actually sits down to paint the models one realises just how damned fine these models are they are all just as if not more so detailed as their mutli part plastic and metal cousins with heads arms and weapons not found in the multi part kits on the shelf mixing at matching these models with the regular poseable models should ensure that people find it very hard to pick the intro models out from the normal models if all painted using the same standards the best bit they are in poses that you can t assemble out of the box from any of the multi part plastic kits at least not without the cutting of arms both your own and the models repositioning and green stuffing a couple of hand weapon swaps and you could even get away with two black reach boxes worth of orks in any given army given the price of the black reach set 95 this is a very cheap and fast way to assemble an army of greenskins pad the army out with some plastic fantastic warbikes trukks and maybe a metal character or dreadnought and you re done finally it s now possible to have an all plastic ork army without sacrificing any must have units or characters any ork warboss is perfectly happy with a solid core of boys supplemented with lootas burnas trukks bikers buggies trakks deathcopters and nobz all lined up behind a plasic warboss the quality of this model is enough to rival the two metal warboss models out there as a friend of mine has found out you can even swap the plastic warboss head with one of the plastic nobz heads further ensuring that your warboss despite being a plastic clip together model stands out from the crowd posted in orks warhammer 40k tags black reach intro models modelling orks painting warhammer 40k lessons september 18 2008 leave a comment a couple of lessons learned today 1 devlan mud is a fantastic wash easily the finest ink wash ever produced by citadel in the decade or so i have been painting citadel miniatures my new motto is if it can t be fixed with devlan mud it can t be fixed seriously the stuff is awesome if you ve not yet slapped it all over one of your models stop reading this and go do so but while waiting for it to dry please come back 2 it is far easier to apply devlan mud wash to an entire model as opposed to at the end of every section of the model painted as i m painting the first five orks it s been a case of paint skin highlight skin wash paint red highlight red wash and so on for the next hundred and five or so wild estimates orks it will be far easier and more effective to simply paint the entire model and then slap the wash all over before going back and doing final highlights to the metal areas as well as adding obligatory battle damage 3 orks are fun to paint 4 except when you remember that you need camo green as part of the skin colour scheme and that camo green happens to be the only paint that you don t have at least three pots of in fact you have none for some reason you have two pots of warlock purple though why the hell would anyone need more than one 5 when taking five orks from somewhere other than your own hobby table to paint be sure to bring all of the orks i managed to bring five fully assembled and undercoated orks to gw chatswood to paint today while painting said orks five undercoated mounted on paperclip stands for easier handling ork heads were sitting unloved on my painting table with only the two pots of warlock purple for company 6 don t forget to tell your good friend dj that you were actually going to gw chatswood to do some hobby as when he reads your article on your website he will most likely come after you with a blunt object or excessivly vocal fellow hobbyists whatever is nearer to hand to demand explanations 7 devlan mud is awesome if i already mentioned that i don t care who are you to tell me how to run my own website go back to watching your wash dry if you don t like it i thought so that s all from my corner well not so much a corner as a dingy musty little room off the basement of my house but that takes too long to type photos on the way when i take some keep an eye out for a future article here screaming praise for devlan mud posted in orks warhammer 40k tags citadel wash devlan mud modelling orks painting test model warhammer 40k fifth edition july 12 2008 leave a comment devourers i ve decided i want devourers lots of devourers but not too many enough one unit of ten gaunts should do the trick without number naturally as many of my readers would know by now there are at least two important changes well two that i have found so far before putting the book aside to hurriedly assemble the first four gaunts for the army the original army list called for two units of twelve gaunts all armed with fleshborers in light of the new edition i ve instead opted for two units of ten gaunts one unit armed with fleshborers the other with devourers both units now have now gained without number authors note for those who have not read the new rulebook only units of troops can claim objectives in the new mission as without number allows units of gaunts to return to the table after being destroyed at the very least this will enable me to contest any objectives near my starting board edge and deny the enemy their use what possible use any other race would have for a tyranid spawned objective i don t know so why devourers well one of the other changes in fifth edition is how wounds are allocated it s far more realistic in that a trooper with a special or heavy weapon is just as likely to be torn limb from limb by all manner of grisly living ammunition tyranid weapons can spew forth the argument that if a trooper with a heavy weapon dies another member of his unit can pick it up and use it has finally been removed and replaced with a far more realistic and amusing for an army with no special or heavy weapons in a unit aside from a few exceptions rule that states that a trooper is likely going to be the only chap in the unit trained to use the weapon devourers the very name strikes fear into the heart of guardsmen everywhere although to be fair so does everything involved in a tyranid army from a humble gaunt to the massive carnifex despite being at 1 strength it fires at double the rate of most other weapons tyranid weapons are usually assault x and or strength x where x relates to the relevant characteristic on the tyranids profile in the case of a gaunt this means the weapon is firing at strength 2 at assault 2 now compared to a fleshborer which fires at strength 4 assault 1 the devourer might not seem that attractive the main advantage it has is the rate of fire when combined with the re rolls to wound granted by the living ammunition special rule can result in an unusually high amount of wounds of course it would be mad to put all my spore mines in one biovore so one unit is retained with fleshborers strength 4 with re rolls to wound means that even space marines will be forced to take a number of armour saves authors note any weapon with the living ammunition special rule can re roll failed rolls to wound both the fleshborer and the devourer have this special rule in addition to the two units of gaunts a unit of fourteen hormagaunts have been added to get to grips with the enemy as fast as possible to hit hard in an assault nine genestealers with scything talons 1a and rending claws have been added despite rending being taken down a notch in the new ruleset rending is now on the roll to wound not the roll to hit this means that they will be perceived as less of a threat of course this means less incoming firepower so more stealers will reach the enemy alive granted even with rending being less effective a strength 4 model with 3 attacks 4 on the charge is still very dangerous especially when on the roll of a 6 to wound it negates armour saves to lead the army i ve taken five warriors all armed with rending claws and devourers four shots each at strength four to back up my lesser troops i ve added two zoanthropes with warp blast mostly to scare space marines and tanks and thrown in the obligatory carnifex with two sets scything talons posted in tyranids warhammer 40k tags army list devourers fleshborers tyranids warhammer 40k previous
