Burned out!
Hello all,
After burning myself out a bit preparing for the April Assault, I decided to take a week off painting. That week turned to two. Then I hurt my shoulder and used that as an excuse to put it off another week. Then I just got lazy. Now it’s been a month and I still haven’t done any painting. So what the hell have I been doing?
1850 Reavers vs. Tyranids battle report
Hello all,
The other day I had a game with a friend of mine, a Tyranid player against whom most of my non-tournament games are played. We played 1850 points to test ideas for the upcoming May tournament at Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine. The mission was Target Priority.
Kamui’s Workbench: Raemos’ (Bjorn’s) new gun and Wolf Guard
Hello all,
I realized that in my rush to get my army ready for the April Assault last month I hadn’t captured many pictures as I finished things up. As I had previously posted many WIP shots of Raemos, my counts-as Bjorn Fellhanded, I thought I should start with him. I also have some pics of my Wolf Guard unit.

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

April Assault 40K Tournament – Kamui’s Review
Hello 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.

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.
Kamui’s Workbench-Slacking on the pictures!
Hello all,
Here’s my second week without pictures to update you on my progress. Things have been hectic, and I’ve been spending most of my weekends out of town the last few weeks. For now I’ll catch you up on my progress and try to post pictures later on.

Kamui’s Workbench: A tale of two speeders
We can buff that out...
Hello all,
Last week I posted pics of two land speeders that I’d just purchased on eBay. You may remember that they were in less than ideal condition. Being a bit of a bargain hunter I found it difficult to resist the price and decided to take the challenge. I wanted to take you along with me on the road to recovery for these two neglected speeders.

DIY Drop Pods Paint in Progress
Hello all,
Last week I showed my WIP DIY drop pods. In a push to get them table top ready for a team tournament this past weekend I managed to get them assembled and primed with a little bit of paint on them.

Kamui’s Workbench: DIY Drop Pods
Hello all,
The Reavers are a Space Wolves lost company based on a space hulk with little to no control of where they wander. This has led them to specialize in ship to ship and ship-board combat. For planet side encounters they make heavy use of drop pods in lieu of more valuable transports.
I have 3 DIY drop pods that have seen heavy use in my hybrid lists. More recently I’ve proxied two additional pods more of a pure pod based list and been happy with the results. This means I need to build two more pods. I decided to use the same templates as used for my older pods but take them a step further.

Kamui’s Workbench: Reavers status update
Hello all,
Some of you may recall that last summer I challenged myself to get a 2000 point Space Wolf army built to represent my DIY chapter, the Reavers, by the end of the summer. Some of you may also remember that I failed to do so. Well, I made some good progress, but I didn’t quite get there. It’s now been 9 months and I thought I’d review my journey so far.

Damn you GW and your cool but late models!
Hello all,
Over the last week I have made some progress on painting one of my Grey Hunter squads and on building my fifth DIY drop pod. I have not actually taken any pictures though, so no hobby update for today. Perhaps I’ll manage a mid-week update to make up for it.
So instead, how about a little rant about GW and their late to the table creations?

Reavers WIP: Wolf Lord Paint in Progress
Hello all,
Another Monday, another update on my Wolf Lord Conversion. I sculpted a chapter marking for his left shoulder, but I forgot to grab a pic before painting. Oh well. I’ve managed to get the painting about 80% finished. There’s still a lot of highlighting and detail work to be done. I don’t have much to say about the process as I’m basically using the same colors as my Grey Hunters. So, on to the pics!

Reavers WIP: Wolf Lord conversion update and some Grey Hunters
Hello all. It’s Monday again and time for my ‘regular’ update (I’m calling two in a row a pattern…) This week I have an update on the Wolf Lord that I posted last week here. I also have pics of two simple Grey Hunter conversions.
