Kamui’s Workbench: Reaver’s Fluff – Notable characters, and what’s on the bench

Posted on April 30, 2012 10:34 am by Kamui
This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Raemos Sun-Fist

Hello all,

I was a bit burned out on painting and modelling after the April Assault so I decided to take a week off.  It’s a hobby so there’s no point doing it when your heart isnt in it.  As a result I don’t have much to show you this week.  For the April Assault I did a writeup for my list which gave me a chance to flesh out some background for some of the more notable characters in the chapter. I had a copy of this attached to my last post, but I thought I’d expand on it a little bit.  Read more...

Chaos Rumors: Do You Hear the Voices Too?

Posted on April 27, 2012 03:29 pm by Thor

Chaos RumorsThe latest Chaos rumors are flying. Do a quick search and you’ll see them everywhere. My take is simple, I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m not going to take time explaining why I think they’re bogus because that just feeds the beast.  Read more... (320 words, 1 image, estimated 1:17 mins reading time)

Necrons: Rakzan’s Redemption

Posted on April 27, 2012 06:30 am by Lukas

Necrons: C'tanSo, in the new Necron Codex they mention a really badass character, Rakzan. The sole remaining survivor of the Khansu Dynasty. Part of this article is directly from the book (as it establishes his ‘preface’), but this is mostly my own expansion of the Prince’s story.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP #3

Posted on April 25, 2012 07:51 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI’m still plugging away on the Chaos Rhino. I have the free hand done, unless I decide to add more, and everything is base coated and shaded now. I’ve begun some of the highlights, which you’ll see, but I’ll need to go back in and clean some of those up later.  Read more... (149 words, 4 images, estimated 36 secs reading time)

Command Center: v2.0.0 in Progress

Posted on April 24, 2012 02:14 pm by Thor

Command CenterI mentioned at the start of the year that I would eventually get to working on v2.0.0 of Command Center and I can finally say I’ve done just that, begun work. It’s going to be a very long road to reach release. The biggest change, and naturally the most time consuming, is that I’m changing the JavaScript library Command Center uses. This library is responsible for 90% of your interactions with the program. The change is needed for me to move forward with Command Center and continue to add in new features. At some point, without changing libraries, things will just plateau and that’s not what I want.  Read more... (299 words, 1 image, estimated 1:12 mins reading time)

April Assault 40K Tournament – Kamui’s Review

Posted on April 23, 2012 10:36 am by Kamui

April Assault TournamentHello all,

I attended the April Assault at Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine on Saturday.  It was a hobby focused event with heavy emphasis on soft scores.  I figured I’d post my impressions of the day as a review for those of you who are interested and feedback for those who hosted the event.  For those of you who would like to see the details of the event you can download the event packet here.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP (Update)

Posted on April 23, 2012 08:23 am by Thor

Disciples of Twilight EmblemI was hoping to get more accomplished on the Rhino yesterday but progress was slower than expected. I’ve only painted three Rhinos before this and they were far easier being that they were all black as a base color, so base coat and highlight. The extra work in doing a half scheme on this one and the added time for shading was pretty significant.  Read more... (296 words, 3 images, estimated 1:11 mins reading time)

Chaos Rhino WIP 1I have the day to paint so I’m getting started on a Chaos Rhino after finishing up a Plague Champion earlier (shots in a few days).

Lamentations of an Ork Player

Posted on April 19, 2012 08:34 am by Thor

Sad OrkWhere to begin? I suppose it doesn’t matter seeing as this article will have very little structure to it, unless you count pissing and moaning as structure. My FLGS is hosting a 40K tournament this Saturday. It’s a hobby focused event that’s heavy on the army composition. Being the masochist I am, I decided to bring my Orks out of retirement. A decision I’ve regretted since I conceived it.  Read more... (837 words, 1 image, estimated 3:21 mins reading time)

Kamui’s Workbench: A Tale of Two Speeders continued

Posted on April 16, 2012 09:24 am by Kamui

We can buff that out...

Hello all,

A few weeks back I picked up a couple of land speeders to add some mobility to my Reavers (Space Wolves.)  I got them cheap on eBay but they were in need of some repairs.  For those of you who haven’t seen them (and those of you who have a memory like mine and have forgotten,) you can see how they started here and how the repairs went here.

I’ve since finished the builds and have begun painting them.  I want to field them as Typhoons for the April Assault this weekend so I built some Typhoon Missile Launchers for them using styrene sheet.  While I’m posting WIP shots I thought I’d include a mini-tutorial for them.   Read more...
