Weekly update

My pseudo weekly updates are back! I've managed to got some good bits of hobbying done over the last week but now feel a little burnt out, to the extent I played a computer game last night, not something I have done in a while. Updates might be a little more sporadic for the next couple of weeks due to being away and not being the mood to paint at the moment. But without further a do let's get some pictures up of what I've been up too.

Weekly Update

It's that time of the week again. I've managed to get some bits and pieces done since last week. Although a lot of that is building and basing rather than any painting. But I've managed to do a little. I also managed to attend an event on Sunday, which I will briefly go over but will do a sperate post at some point for that as well.

My army from the 30k Frontier event on Sunday

The forge marches to war!

Today is an army showcase of my mechanicum. Like a servitor I have been slaving away over the last couple of months to get these guys done, firstly for events at warhammer world both earlier in the year (January) and one at the end of June, and secondly finishing all my owned mechanicum models (well nearly, see the bottom of the post). So read on to see the glory of the mechanicum ready to wage war, possibly for the emperor.....

All the mechanicum unit that I own

Talons of the Emperor Showcase

So today I thought I'd show off some of my Talons of the emperor, including those that you didn't see in the post from throne of skulls. I'll take a look what I have, what I think of it in game and where I'd like to take this army going forward a little. But first off what do I own...

Throne of Skulls, August 2017

So over the weekend of the 19th and 20th I went up to Warhammer world with my Talons of the Emperor force to take part in the Heresy throne of skulls. Here is a quick post on the games that I took part in and the army that I took with me.

All 3.3k of Talons of the Emperor that I own painted, fully painted is for closers and all that jazz

Word of the Sigilite Campaign Weekend

So last weekend myself and three others decended as team Excellent to Warhammer World to play in the word of the sigilite campaign weekend, a horus heresy narrative event where the loyalists and traitors battled over the back water world of Ageis to find something the Sigilite was very keen on getting back, so this is a little run down of my weekend and the games that I played.

My largest force of the weekend, three thousand points on mechanicum

Dan's Space Wolves Showcase

So as you guys know every now and again I like to try and get other armies showcased on here so that we can all spread the hobby love just a little more. And today is one of those days, and you are lucky enough to have Dan's space wolves to feast your eyes upon, so without further ado I will pass you over to Dan

 

New Army - Custodes

So I thought I'd do a little writing about my newest army the Talons of the Emperor, or more specifically the Custodes part of that list. I have just shy of 1500pts at the time of writing (although I have some upgrade packs coming in the post which'll bring it to 1750pts). So Below are my thoughts on how they work and why I'll run them they way I'm planning on running them.

Regaining the Hobby Mojo

So first post in a long while. To be honest although I have been hobbying I haven't really felt the desire to interact with the community or post photos of my work as I haven't really felt inspired in any real way, plus I've had life things to sort out. But now the life things have been sorted and Inferno has now dropped plus a couple of other bits and pieces I thought it would be worth writing some more bits and pieces. So without further a do lets get on with it!

Army I took to the Warhammer World Heresy Doubles event

Sylvaneth Army showcase

So this week I haven't managed to get a huge amount of personal hobby time in this week (I finished the armour on 5 space marines) but I have managed to get a whole bunch of inspiration as well as painting a whole sylvaneth army for the shop (for those of you who don't know I know work in the Southampton GW so come say hello) so I thought I'd showcase them here seeing as I painted them.

Amy Snuggs Seraphon Army Showcase

So today I am happy to present a showcase of Amy Snuggs Award winning Seraphon. As most of you have hopefully seen her work I won't spend to long elaborating on the work itself but more about how it has inspired me with my painting and a bit about the hobby twitter scene.

New Army Showcase

So some exciting news, we have a new army showcase (or maybe two). Now if you've been living under a rock then you won't know this painter but for the rest of you should have seen most of this work before but hopefully I'll be able to put a new twist on this. Without further ado I am happy to announce that the wonderful Amy Snuggs has allowed me the showcase her models on this blog. So come back tomorrow (yes I know I'm mean) for her Seraphon and then later next week for her Fyreslayers and possibly Ogors

This Weeks update

So there has been a lot of bits and pieces I've been working on/starting over the weekend (it's amazing how much hobbying you can get done when you are procrastinating). Below is just a little showcase of that and hopefully I'll have some other bits and pieces for you in the near future.

David's Space Wolves

So another army showcase (haven't done one of these in a while) and I saw a wonderful space wolves army at Throne of Skulls back in the middle of January (the only other wolves player present) so I thought it only right to take some photos of them and show them here. Thanks very much to David for letting me share these photos and setting up his army specifically so that I could take photos of them.

Throne of Skulls roundup

So this past weekend was the 30k Throne of Skulls event at Warhammer World in Nottingham. Two days with 5 games of warhammer between 2k to 3k points. I'm going to do a round up the games that I had over the weekend. Overall it was a very enjoyable weekend against a great bunch of guys. Really looking forward to doing it again.

My 2500 point list that I used for most of the weekend

Army Showcase Salamanders

Today we have another army in the infrequent army showcase section of this blog. Today we have some Salamanders courtesy of my younger brother. I hope you enjoy them. 

Armies on Parade

Sorry for the long gap between posts at the moment. There is a lot of uni work to do so I have little time for mu hobby. So yesturday was the armies on parade event at Games Workshops across the country. Here are the photos of my entry of the day as well as those from my local store and a couple of others that popped up on my twitter throughout the day

The Ordo Reductor are here

So I got some bits and pieces in the post over the last couple of days so I thought I would do an update. Find below my thoughts on what is going on with my next army.

Space Wolves Showcase

Finally the Sons of Russ get their own showcase! I have got enough squads finished now that I can field a legal army with no proxies, so I thought it was time to showcase them to all of you. There really won't be very much talking in this blog as it's mainly a showcase.

Emperors Children Showcase

By Russ's beard! These other legions are just taking over! This week we have a beautiful Emperors Children force painted by Søren Westborg. I found these posted on the Horus Heresy facebook page (go and join if you haven't already) and decided that these must be showcased. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did
