Constructs Dungeons & Dragons – Iron Golems, maybe? (Kastelan Robots from Games Workshop)
April 7, 2019 scrollmaster

I haven’t played Warhammer 40.000 or Warhammer Fantasy Battle for a long while, but I keep up with what’s happening at Games Workshop and when I saw the Adeptus Mechanicus Kastelan Robots, I really liked them. They remind me of the playstation game Fallout. But I tend to buy only what I need so didn’t get them straight away. However, I got them recently for two reasons: 1 was to use them as Iron Golems in D&D and the other was to try out a painting technique I read about a while back using very thinned white layers to create a…

Rouge Trader Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader – Bad Moon Big Mob brings the Fuzz
September 20, 2017 scrollmaster

It’s interesting how the Big Mob is always the unit people dread to paint. Maybe it is because the sheer numbers, or maybe it’s because Ork players, both then and now, are spoiled with character rich miniatures so the basic troops is a drag to paint. In any case, I have finally gotten around to complete my Big Mob include their mighty clan boss leader. That means I have a Painboy and Runtherd and a visiting unit of Snakebite Cyboar Boys left to paint to complete my 1,000 point Rogue Trader Ork army. The Big Mob in all it’s glory…

Warhammer 40K Warhammer 40.000 – How to speed paint Tyranids
August 30, 2017 scrollmaster

My 8 year-old nephew, soon to be 9 year-old nephew (HEJ DANIEL) recently got some Tyranid Termagants, but ofcourse a bit disappointed they came unpainted. Having never painted Tyranids myself I search “How to speed paint Tyranids” on YouTube and much to my surprise this amazing video called “How to Paint a Tyranid Hormagaunt” showed up and it is one fantastic video of how to speed paint Tyranids… so I decided to give it a go! I should also mention I’ve hacked a small Tyranid band together using the Shadow War: Armageddon rules creating custom rules for my nephew’s Termagants lead by…

Rouge Trader Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader – The Leadership has arrived! Bad Moon Warlord
July 21, 2017 scrollmaster

Not much to say. I wanted the Warlord of my Bad Moon warband to look filthy rich so on top of all his wealth (teef) hanging on display, I painted the rims of his armour in gold! The Warlord and his trusted (sort of trusted) mob of Nobz. The Warlord’s retinue of oddboys. Double the Weirdboyz but still missing the Painboy and the Runtherd (to come). the Warlord and his so far completed waaaagh… main lacking feature is the Big Mob.

Rouge Trader Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader – Shokk Attack Gun (plus ammo!)
June 28, 2017 scrollmaster

At the end of the day I think my two all time favourite Ork models from the Rogue Trader era (or any WH40K era for that matter) are the Super Cyboar and the Shokk Attack Gun. The Shokk Attack Gun not only is a magnificent model with the most outthere gun ever seen, the rules are equally crazy and the impediment of Orkish culture: You open a warp hole, another warp hole opens up roughly where your enemy is, you send through innocent Snotlings and they get insane traveling through warp so by the time they arrive at the exit…

Rouge Trader Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader – Second Bad Moon Weirdboy joins the waaaagh!
June 27, 2017 scrollmaster

When I first played Rogue Trader, I was still living in Denmark and I had to choose armies based on what I could get hold of. This Weirdboy is one I always wanted, but it never materialised in my local hobby shop. Now decades later I finally got a chance to paint him and as with all the orks from this era, the miniature is full of fun little details, like the hand grenade ear ring and the annoyed look on the weirdboy’s face. He clear just want to be left at home safe with his copper staff. Both Weirdboys…

Rouge Trader Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader – Ork Bad Moon Weirdboy
March 26, 2017 scrollmaster

I’ve just conducted a full audit of my miniatures and put a huge pile of them on on eBay for charity. However, looking through all the minis, I found one I’ve forgotten I’ve painted. One of my all time favourite miniatures: The Ork Weirdboy from the Rogue Trader era. So I thought I’d upload some photos of him and his minderz.

Rouge Trader Rogue Trader
January 31, 2012 scrollmaster

Back to the Grim Darkness of a Far, Far Future… Re-discovering Rogue Trader – A trip back in time. The last couple of months I have had this idea about bringing my old Realm of Chaos books to London and make some warbands and see if I could find anybody who would be interested in basically taking a 10 year step back in the Games Workshop time line. So far it has stayed as a though, untill I ran into this thread where this bloke was trying to find if anybody still played the good old Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader rules (first edition of…
