Hi all, I probably should cut this up in multiple smaller posts and skew the numbers, but hey... It's been a cra-zy week... My mother-in-law was hospitalized for severe headaches which wouldn't recede. Turned out to be some sort of a - undetermined as of yet - viral infection, got sent home with painkillers to keep pain-level bareable. So, in between going back and forth to the hospital, the

Due to an earlier "debacle" with my 1st Army List, I had to do a serious review. Here's my second attempt, in which I even managed to cramp in the friggin' Murder Talon!! In a 1K Army!! Universal Special Rules: Veterans of the Long War (VotLW): +1 Leadership, cannot exceed value 10, and grants "Hatred (Space Marine)" special rule. Hatred (Space Marines): Re-roll failed to-hit rolls when fighting

Hi all! A couple of weeks ago I posted my first army list. It was a Combined Arms Detachment, with which I chose 3 artefacts, 1 on my Chaos Lord and 2 on Aspiring Champions. It looked cool, had some positive remarks, and felt good! Yesterday I updated Lone Wolf Army Builder which no entails the Traitor Legion supplement! Yay! So, I went about filling in said 1K army list inthere, only to find out

Today I started with putting together some palm trees, desert terrain, based on a Youtube video by Striking Scorpion 82, which can go nicely with my yet-to-be-received Desert Mat by Gamemat.eu. I saw this video a few times now, and seemed really feasible for me, being pretty much a noob at painting. I didn't have sand and grass/flock yet, nor stones and sand. Materials However, that's all in the

Yesterday I went to my FLGS in Utrecht, to pick up some ordered plasma and melta guns, to use with my models (there's always too few on the sprues with the kits...), and a Imperial Agents Codex, to make sure I have official documentation with the Assassins I plan to field. Oh, and some of the paints that are used by Michiel to make up my Night Lords. I want to be able to improve my own skills as

Although I haven't painted anything myself (yet?), I do have an interest. I watch tutorials, I watch showcases, etc, etc. A couple of weeks ago I ran into the video by Tabletop Minions that's visbible above this post. It evolves about using your paint for a longer period of time without it drying out (as quick). What is shown is how to make a so-called "wet palette", which keeps the paint humid

I came across this video a couple of months ago, just thought of it again, and decided to share it with you :) The movie is made by Winters SEO, of whom I watch bat reps and reviews as well. It's fun too watch, although after all this time I still haven't gotten used to the fading out and in of the microphone when cutting between scenes. It's not done in every movie, but for some reason it just

Yesterday I met up with one of my commission painters for the first time. Brought him my models, talked Night Lords for a bit (he used to be an Ork player, LOADS AND LOADS of models, but only painting now), and talked about the colorscheme I had picked for my army. I found this picture here and am rather fond of the metallic sheen, which I didn't expect to be honest. Also the blue being so dark

A tiny post on Arch Warhammer having a rant on the newly released storyline on Abaddon trying to making Cadia fall, again. I haven't read the book myself, only some reviews, but his logic sounds.... well... Sound. But, hey ;) Have a good one! Jimmy

Sidenote Use safety measures!!! Latex gloves and glasses (if you don't wear them yourselves, but even then...) are a must! Make sure you're in a ventilated room! The fumes can be pretty bad for you. Clean up after you're done. Your partner will like you for it :) Process Today I removed a couple of Chaos Terminators from their "methyl alcohol" bath (gedenatureerde alcohol in Dutch, 96% pure), in
