Showed my wife how to play Warhammer 40.000 using 2nd edition rules. She’s a seasoned D&D and boardgame player so she picked it up fast. She took the Space Wolves while I brought my “trusty” Bad Moons. Good back and forth until the wolves charged and while the big teef Orks held out for a […]
Leaving Sunflower Grange behind, the reality of the war with undead became apparent in the surrounding landscape again. And soon enough, the now familiar sounds of hunting undead behind them could be heard again, but the edge of Elderthorn Forest was in front of our heroes. Forest Wall But as the Hell Benders approached the […]
When I turned 50, my wife gave me a bunch of Squats for my birthday! What a gift! I’ve always wanted to field an army of these little chaps, but back in the days somebody else already had an army of them and to be honest, the Orks drew my attention more. But these Squats, […]
To be fair I always thought the banners on wh40k minis was absurd. So I didn’t make any for my Orks, but my Space Wolves came with banner poles so I decided to make some banners. The Grey Hunter Sergeant and Corporal have matching banners each sporting half of the head of the Fenris Wolf […]
These will probably be the last unit I will paint for my retro Space Wolves. I decided to paint them like I painted my Grey Hunters and Long Fangs, but with red hands and weapons to honour their Blood Claw name and I like how it makes them slightly distinct. They also have different decals […]
I got this Wolf Guard Champion with my Ragnar Blackmane mini and since these guys can appear on their own leading more junior units, I thought I’d paint him up and use him to add a few extra points boosting a combat unit, My “Winter Wolves” as they are at the time of writing this.
What a treat to paint! When I first started painting him as the Grey Hunters, the Speed Paint technique didn’t work at all. Not knowing what to do, I just left him while I painted the rest of the Space Wolves. I finally took the plunge and tried to paint him to match and it […]
Having finished a few units and a few characters for my Space Wolves, I now have enough to field them against my Goffs. So I made two 820 points armies with no psychics and minimum wargear cards to keep it simple. Set up I’m playing the Space Wolves and my friends Carlo, who I normally […]
I bought this fantastic Centaur miniature from Atlantis Miniatures back in 2019. I liked it so much I grabbed a couple more with the intent to convert and paint them. But never got around to it as we then unexpectedly had to move from London (due to Brexit). but as we are now heading into […]
I bought this miniature a while back, but as we are now heading into Fey teritory in our current D&D campaign, I thought it would be a good time to paint him alonside two Centaurs I bought bacn in 2019. I speed painted all three by priming them black, drybrush grey, then white zenital highlights […]
Confused, but safe, the Hellbenders went to bed safely in the guest room at the Stonemaker family. The next morning, they were awaken by Krautious, the old man servant. After he told them breakfast was served, he lingered and in the end quickly whispered: “You should not be here. Leave!” and scurried down the stairs […]
Another retro Space Wolves character I painted alongside my Ragnar Blackmane. As much as I enjoyed painting Ragnar, I also enjoyed painting Njal. I always liked how magic wielders in the Warhammer 40.000 universe was as strong and powerful as their combat counterparts. None of that fragile weak body thrope of D&D. Njal and Ragnar […]
