About Thor

I began playing 40K in 2006 and have been an avid player and hobbyist since then. Blogging has become my outlet for all those random thoughts regarding the game.

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #3

Posted on May 16, 2012 07:00 am by Thor

Daemon Prince: Work in ProgressA quick update on my Daemon Prince. At this stage I’m working on the skin and I have most of the skin close to completion. I haven’t touched the white/blue skin yet for the wings, that’s next, but I’ve hit the rest of the skin. The final touch on the skin will be some extreme highlights where appropriate.  Read more...

Command Center: v.2.0.0 Progress

Posted on May 9, 2012 09:27 am by Thor

Command CenterAs I recently mentioned, I’m working on rewriting Command Center, a free army list building tool for Warhammer 40K. The entire thing is being rewritten from the ground up. It’s been a hell of a task so far but I’ve made a ton of progress on it. Way more progress than I expected to make so soon after beginning.  Read more...

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #2

Posted on May 8, 2012 10:34 am by Thor

Daemon Prince: Work in ProgressI’ve made a lot of progress since the very early shot last week. At this stage most everything is base coated, still a few details to pick out. I’ve shaded the blue parts of the armor and the metallics. The wings are mostly complete, the webbing part anyway. There’s a few small things to wrap up and then it’s on to the skin, which will take the longest amount of time but subsequently show the greatest results once done.  Read more...

Warp Discovery: Death Korps of Krieg

Posted on May 4, 2012 12:27 pm by Thor

Death Korps of KriegThis week I have a few more short movies, well, one is more of a clip. These are from ShroudFilm and feature a Death Korps of Krieg trooper. The special effects aren’t bad but it’s really the great job on the custom that makes these great.  Read more... (47 words, 1 image, estimated 11 secs reading time)

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)

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)

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)

Posted on April 22, 2012 11:03 am by Thor

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). I’m aiming to get this Rhino mostly complete today since it’s not often I have an entire day for painting.  Read more... (138 words, 1 image, estimated 33 secs reading time)
