40K: Moar Space Cactus!

 Four cactus patches now completed!

Definitely not painting more!

40K: Space Cactus!

 Normally I hate painting terrain but ive forced myself to get on with some retro space cactus patches for games of 2nd 40k:

These are some quality stls from Nedius on cults3d... ive another two patches to finish off... the red spikes takes an age!

40K: Squat Thunderers 2

Next unit completed for the army with this 2nd unit of Thunderers:

Ive got a bike squad, a Warrior Squad and a landraider to paint but as my next game is against Eldar I think a Living Ancestor is required too!

40K: Squat Thunderers

Time for some heavy firepower for the army in the form of some Thunderers with Heavy Plasma Guns and Autocannons:

Hopefully those guns work a bit better now they are painted!

40K: Squat Thudd Guns

 Some more Artillery in the form of a a pait of thudd guns:

With the originals being pretty expensive I was on the scout for a proxy and came across these hehe.

40K: Squat Mole Mortars

 Work was cancelled so I had a bit of unexpected painting time around the family's plans this evening and got a pair of Mole Mortars painted up:

Some light Artillery for my forces with some very random results on impact haha!

Warmachine: Farrow Razorbacks

 Finishing off June's releases with this pair of Razorback Artillery:

Bringing some much needed heavy firepower to the alliance with brutal damage on those rockets haha.

Warmachine: Bride of Arkadius, Wastelander and Maximus

 With June's releases for the pigs coming out it was time to bust out the printer and also the minicrate Arkadius that I picked up at Lock n Load:

Next up will be a pair of Razorbacks hehe!

40K: Moar Squat Warriors

 The second unit of Ontos Games squat/roknaut warriors is done:

Again some superb sculpts! Played my first game of 2nd ed last night since 1998 maybe, proper silly good fun!

40K: Squat Warriors

 Next up for 2nd ed is a squat of Squat Warriors from Ontos Games!

The original squad from the range, and the models that drew me to the idea of some retro 40k gaming!

40K: Squat Warlord and Hearthguard

 Over the last week or so ive been building and printing my Squat army... and now finally I have the first unit done:

I really liked the Ontos Games scheme so decided to use that as my base! Now on to some warriors!

40K: Rogue Trader Chaos Dreadnought

 Continuing with the theme of Dreadnoughts, here is a modern reimaging of the classic Chaos Dreadnought:

Going for an Emperor's Children look to my chaos army but in the old skool style rather than like my existing Flawless Host.

Warmachine: Captain Eira Mackay

 She's been on the paint desk for a few weeks, worked on in dribs n drabs!

Thats the last of what I have printed, I'll get round to some of the flying troops and 40mm base stuff in due course.

40K: Rogue Trader Dreadnoughts

 Myself and a few of the club chaps have decided to go down the nostalgia route and put together some armies for 40k 2nd edition hehe.

Ive picked up some awesome squats that i will be posting soon but decided to start by printing some very retro dreadnoughts from Rogue Trader as I never owned the originals as a kid!

A Blood Angels and Badmoon Ork Dreadnought ready to fight it out on glorious green boards!

Warmachine: Commandos

 My second unit of Commandos is now finished:

Thats me all complete and ready for Lock n Load next weekend in Sheffield, pigz ftw 🐖

Warmachine: Moar Chainbelchers!

My second unit of these bad boys are now completed:

Largely the same scheme as before but with different coloured jack parts; this time ive put in menoth, cryx and 5th border legion khador 🤘

Warmachine: Farrow Chainbelchers

 First unit of our awesome new cavalry unit painted up:

Absolutely superb models and will hopefully be rocking the tabletops at the club in the near future!

Warmachine: Farrow Commandos

 Closing in on Lock n Load so its time to pick an army and get it sorted! With that in mind I think I have enough time to get April and Mays Thornfall releases done:

Ive a 2nd unit of these Commandos on the go and two units of the fantastic new Chainbelcher cavalry.

I had sold up before the plastic brigand/commando kit came out so never owned any back in the day... Nice to give them a run out at last.

Warmachine: Vulcan

 This has been on and off the paint station for most of April but its finally done!

Looking forward to giving the big lad a run out soon hehe, glad the Crucible Guard are done for now as im a bit behind on printing piggies!

Warmachine: Efaarit Scouts

 Back to the Thornfall with a couple of Efarrit Scouts today:

Its 75pts in our journeyman league so i desperately needed some more solos for flag camping... solos with long ranged guns most importantly!

Warmachine: Prospero and Retaliator

 Forgot to post Prospero during the week and printed a Retaliator whilst still working on the Vulcan:

Warmachine: Gorman di Wolfe and Mechaniks

 Some post Salute painting before the wife gets home hehe:

Prospero and the Vulcan remain on the shelf to be painted!

Warmachine: Railless Interceptor

 Choo choo! 

Finished off my Railless Interceptor that ive been working on for most of the week:

Its been a slog but im glad its done and im happy with how its come out!

Warmachine: Alyce Marc

 As the holiday draws to a close I had time for one last addition to the army after some much needed gardening, with Alyce Marc and her alter ego Big Alyce:

Alyce is the warcaster attachment in the faction and also a surprisingly good beatstick when she transforms!

Warmachine: Crucible Guard Infantry

On a bit of a roll at the mo, here's my unit of Crucible Guard Infantry completed:

The basic guys in the army, they bring some long range guns that I can add fire or corrosion to to activate abilities on other units hehe.

Warmachine: Combat Alchemists

 Some support units for the army now with these Combat Alchemists:

They can hand out magic, fire and poison to friendly units and have a reasonable ranged attack too... backfield objective campers!

Warmachine: Dragon's Breath Rocket Batteries

 Some heavy weapons and debuff tools with this pair of Dragon's Breath Rockets:

Some long range attacks and the perfect solos to camp on the flags in scenario play hehe.

Warmachine: Ascendant Mentalist

 Another quick addition to the guard with this Ascendant Mentalist:

A fine support solo, she will be parked behind my Vulcan bumping its armour up haha.

Warmachine: The Triumverate

 Another addition to the Crucible Guard with their Character Unit, The Triumverate:

More to follow soon!

Warmachine: Bonegrinders

 After some sterling work by my existing  units at a tournament last week ive printed and painted two more to go to max FA:

Next months goodies have been reviewed so will be getting Commandos and Effarit Scouts ready as soon as they are available!

Warmachine: Syvestro and Lukas Di Morray

Two of my warcasters today with Aurum Syvestro and Aurum Lukas Di Morray:

Both superb models to paint up! Next on the paint station will be the new character unit, The Triumverate, I need to get all the Crucible Guard finished off before I can get on to the Grymkin/Infernals/Convergence from the Frontier campaign!

I think i will be pretty much painting just warmachine for the entire year haha.

Warmachine: Vindicator and Suppressor

 Two more Jack's for the Crucible Guard today with a Vindicator and Suppressor:

Im not sure how much use i will get out of these two as they are a bit niche in their utility but they are cool models!

Warmachine: Apollo

After finishing March's pigz it was time to get back to the Crucible Guard so I decided to get Apollo painted up:

The new character jack from the command starter, rather awkward to photo tho haha! It will be a boon to just about all the casters with the various buffs and debuffs it can apply.

Warmachine: Thornfall Alliance Light Beasts

More piggies today with these four Light Beasts:

A Battle Boar, a Splatter Boar and two Gunboars to bring me back up to fully painted for the faction.

Warmachine: Dr Arkadius!

The good Dr is in the house!

My third Dr Arkadius haha, I quite like how hes turned out, no red on him to keep him slightly distinct from the actual Farrow members of the Thornfall Alliance!

The feat is a lot easier to manage now, not as much of a threat extension but still decent.

Warmachine: Athanor Locke

 Another Crucible Guard model today and I wanted to try the scheme out on a Warcaster so here is Aurum Athanor Locke:

It came out quite well I think so will be able to crack on with other infantry models as time allows.

Sythopian Wars: Asylumist Butchers

Some heavy infantry support guys for the Asylumists with these Butchers:

Hopefully there isn't too long a wait till the Confederation and Host get their big hitters with The Arsenal and The Mutalysk!

Sythopian Wars: Host N-Force

Ive picked up the latest releases for Sythopian Wars / Voidsiege and here are the first of them painted:

The N-Force's are the the 5 Threat starter forces for the game and The Host are the third faction released.... previews have been shown before of other units such as flying troops and a massive support beast.
