Finished my first 1,000 points of Squat army. I got these fantastic chaps from my wife for my 50th birthday and 6 months later they are all finished. I tried to make each unit easily identifiable on the battlefield as I want to use them in Warhammer 2nd edition battles. This Warrior Squad I have […]
This was great fun to paint and a break from my regular Bad Moon colour scheme. Surprised this came with 3 Gretchins as it is listed in both Rogue Trader and 2nd edition Ork books as being crewed by 2. Furthermore it cam with a Runtherd with right arm being part of the mini and […]
This was fun to paint. I have never seen one for real not even back in the days. It was fun to paint and I look forward to trying it out on the battlefield too as it has some fun rules. The Smasha Gun and the Squig Catapult I bought these two together fully sealed, […]
This Gretchin mob was super fun to paint. Back in the days it was rare to see these guys as they rarely found their way into shops and when 2nd edition came out, the box came with the plastic Gretchin. This lot has Gretchin from different eras from Rogue Trader to 3rd edition (I think […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
