Citadel Paints: Derek the Dark Angel, Birth of a Splodgy Legend…
Ok, Derek lives, in total he has lived for 16 days now, but in a massive fit of warp shenanigans my camera died at the very first picture of the poor hero, so I resorted to the phone camera, you should be able to see what’s what though. What I did was paint one of the Dark Angels as if I had never painted before, and I was 12 and not 30+…

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.

Warp Discovery: Dark Angels Battle Movies
Continuing 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.

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.

Battle Report: Spectre Studio “New” Character
This is a Spectre Studio’s different style video Battle Report by Spectre Senence. What’s the change? Well I have played this hobby awhile and I enjoy playing with a fun personality into my armies. This stems from decades as a Dungeon Master. So I decided I want to improve the entertaining value of Spectre Studio’s battle reports without sacrificing too much content so they hold no tactica value. So the attempt is to infused some of my crazy concepts into the armies I play while filming these BatReps.

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.

April Tournament: Which Army…
Next month my FLGS is hosting a large tournament with 34 players. It’s a hobby oriented event and so scores for comp, painting and sportsmanship will be given. I’m trying to decide which army to bring. I’m debating between two.

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.

Spectre Studio BatRep Episode 1 Part 2 – 5
Spectre Studio’s continued parts to Episode 1 fight between Spectre Senence’s Tyranids of Hive Fleet Wraith and Spectre Foreman’s Space Marines of Death Spectres. The video are in parts to follow the action and lengthy in that content. The intent to to see how the actions unfolds if there are particular units you like or don’t understand and it showcases the effected rolls. For me personally it’s my debated argument with other Tyranid players fielding a Venomthorpe. Although Spectre Foreman rolls pretty poorly those that he was accurate on were diminished by this elite choice.

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.

Spectre Studio’s 1st Video Battle Report
Hey this is Spectre Senence here. I have been playing 40K since the 2nd edition and dabbled in many of GW side games like Space Hulk, Man o’ War, Blood Bowl & many others. I’m also a storyteller, having finally ended a 20+ year campaign as a Dungeon Master. I do play other games such as War Machine & Malifauex but with full-time work, three kids and a fourth on the way, there isn’t enough hours in the day. So GW as being the easiest to get a game in takes my time.

Necrons vs Space Marines
Wednesday night was the beginning of a Xenos vs Imperium campaign. Starting off at 1250, and building up to a total of 2000 I believe. The real idea is to try and build a modular list, or so Thor says. I have always just built the best list I could at each point level though and gone from there.
