Painting & Hobby: Death Guard Kill Team

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great holiday.

As the last days of the year drew to a close I continued on with painting miniatures in the grey pile that I can use as posable Kill Teams.

I decided to have a go at 3 Death Guard miniatures that came form an Issue of Conquest magazine.

 In 5th up until 7th edition Warhammer 40,000 I used to play Death Guard as my main army but as I have note played 40k in a while I have not painted the new style of Death Guard so Kill Team is a good excuse.

Painting and Hobby: Necron Royal Warden

 As I painted the Space Marine Lieutenant model from the Imperium magazine as a Space Wolves Captain (you can see the post here) in my last Paining & Hobby post I thought as its been made I might as well paint my first Necron. 

Yes thats right I have not painted a Necron before.

Painting and Hobby: Space Wolves Captain Kill Team Edition

 

Continuing on with the Space Wolves theme I decided to convert the Space Marine Primaris Lieutenant from the first Imperium magazine to a Space Wolves Captain to add to my new Kill Team.

Back In The Game: Space Wolf Kill Team

 You may have notice that I have been away for a bit. 

If you have seen my social media posts I explained I was away to work on my metal health which has suffered over the last year. It came to a point were I needed to get some guidance and help. Posting the explanation was a hard thing for me to do as I don’t usually post personal things on line but I am not ashamed to say I needed the time to step away and needed help.

Since taking the brake and seeking guidance the the fog has started too clear. 

Review: Warhammer 40,000 IMPERIUM

 

Games Workshop and Hachette are back with another weekly magazine to get you started in the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Let's take a look at what you get in issue one and what to expect in the future.

Review: Acid House Terrain Portable Sci Fi Wargame Terrain

As gamers we all have the aged old problem of having enough space for our miniatures and storage space for all our terrain. Not only that carrying terrain around to gaming clubs or your friends house can be a hassle.

Well if you are playing Sci Fi games and are short on space I may have a portable solution for all your terrain needs.

Acid House Terrains Portable Sci Fi Wargame Terrain is a card based terrain system that is easy built and packed away and only takes up the space of a board game.

After their successful first print run Acid House Terrain are back on Kickstarter with the second print run.

Acid House Terrain has kindly sent over a box for me to review so lets take a look inside the box.

Painting & Hobby: Industrial Terrain Silo & Bunker

 

This week I did it.

 I finished all of my industrial terrain.

One Bunker and one Silo was all that was needed to be painted to finish this project.

Let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Industrial Terrain Project

 A few years ago I put a cheeky bid on Ebay for a load of industrial terrain which has been used in a fair few Shadow War Armageddon games but has always been that project I have not got round to.

 You can see the Ebay horde here

As there has been talk of Necromunda and as I was in the mood for a project I thought it was time to work through it.

Some Scatter Terrain from Gatehouse Gameing Sci Fi Accessories

As there was no path to glory last week I thought why not make a bit of terrain.

Using the terrain from Gatehouse Gaming Sci Fi Accessories that I got from Januarys Your Model Box I decided to make use of these and make some scatter terrain.

Warhammer Conquest Issue 4...Hang on wheres Issue 3?

So I visted my local newsagents a few weeks ago to pick up issue 3 but was told it did not turn up so I have issue number 4 for now and hope I can pick up issue 3 later.

Lets have a look inside...

Shadow War Armageddon.

I picked these minis up at Salute this year and I  have always wanted to have a small team of Catachan Jungle Fighters.

The team my have some familiar names which have a little homage to some famous characters..

Hobby Holder Review.

So how do you paint your minis. Yes probably with a brush and paint but do you just hold the base of the mini to paint it?

 How about using something that offers more stability when painting and could help you paint better.

Well look no further then The Hobby Holder from Game Envy Creations.

Playmats.EU Resinarium Bridges Review

Playmats.EU for those who don't know are a company from Poland that makes lots of wargaming accessories from play mats in all sizes and materials such as rubber, PVC. Eleather to double sided mats as well as 2D terrain. They even make products for publishers and designers for their own bespoke games you may have seen some of their work in such games as Boss Monster and Call of Cthulhu.
