Chaos Rumors: Do You Hear the Voices Too?

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.

Necrons: Rakzan’s Redemption

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.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP #3

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.

Command Center: v2.0.0 in Progress

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.

April Assault 40K Tournament – Kamui’s Review

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.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP (Update)

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.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP

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.

Warp Discovery: Dark Angels Battle Movies

Dark Angels Chapter BadgeContinuing on with this new series where I showcase 40K things I stumble across, this week we have two animated movies featuring Dark Angels from the same creator. These are a few years old at this point and honestly not the best animation you’ll see, but it’s worth checking out.

Lamentations of an Ork Player

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.

Rok Da Vote: Painting

PaintingI’ve done a fair amount of painting lately, for me at least, and I got curious how often everyone else paints. So, that’s the big topic for the poll, how often do you paint?

Kamui’s Workbench: A Tale of Two Speeders continued

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.

Obliterators Complete

ChaosI began working on these Obliterators last month. In no time I had 90% of it complete but that last 10% would be 90% of the work. I had put up WIP shots of them where I was working, for the first time really, with OSL (object source lighting). Ron over at From the Warp, gave me a lot of great feedback. The problem was it meant I had to redo some things, and I agreed, yet I had to set them aside for another project, one that was time sensitive. When that was completed, the time sensitive project, I came back to these Obliterators renewed and completed them.

Warp Discovery: Space Hulk Suicide Mission Movie

Space HulkThis is the first in what I hope to be a relatively frequent ongoing series. There’s a bunch of 40K stuff that I stumble on in my nerdy pursuit of all things 40K and I thought I’d share those discoveries here.
