Instagram Crossover

I've been spending more of my time on Instagram lately for my social media needs. I've been fixated on improving my painting skills, rather than writing or playing the game, and I've found that the simple act of taking photos and looking at the model not under my desk lamp has really helped my technique. Also, the feedback from painters of all skill levels has been very helpful and is pushing me to improve my craft.

Also, while airbrushing is a great skill, Darren Latham and Duncan Rhodes are my current luminary idols. Latham especially is fantastic at breaking down some steps and his delivery is hypnotic. That being said, here's a recent photo dump of some recent and ancient models in my "portfolio."

Is there an app that can cross post directly from Instagram to Blogger?


Astral claws
The Captain of my Astral Claws army, the Bastards of Badab, who usually strolls behind my vehicle line.


The Lieutenant of my Astral Claws army, the Bastards of Badab. He is mocked by his subordinates for rarely drawing his sword yet those same troopers appreciate the rerolls he orders when it's time to wound.

A Sergeant of my Astral Claws Tactical Marines.


The Sergeant of my Astral Claws terminators and his trusty power sword, Lion's Fang.

Armanneus Valthex, Master of the Forge of the Astral Claws. His conversion beamer has reduced many Xenos and Imperials alike to atoms.

Angelo Barbosa, Captain of the Flesh Tearers, bearer of the Angel's Wing relic. Feared lost in battle seven times from 049.M41 - Present.

Do you have a moment to talk about the Emperor?
My Chaplain that usually escorts my #deathcompany around the battlefield.


My tech priest engineseer is often my second command choice for my Adeptus Mechanicus army, the "Pilgrims of Erudition."


One of the brave warriors of the XVIII Legion. I followed Duncan's flame painting process from #warhammertv and I'm proud of my results.

+Sicarian Infiltrator+
+Designation: SD-DC1+
+Macroclade: Pilgryms of Erudition+

My token Mentors Legion trooper sent to advise on matters of warfare and technology. I thought having a few Mentors on hand is a good, fluffy way to proxy in a trooper in case a figure from my army gets lost at a tournament.


Ork Death Skull boy. Known for crumping, looting, reloading, and screaming. Ballistic skills, armor saves, and independence are irrelevant.


A very surprised looking Aggressor in my "Hellbenders" Salamanders army. "What do you mean I didn't get flamers?"


A good leader always stands behind his men ... for cover.

The Lieutenant of my Salamanders company, the Hellbenders.


An old hammer Salamander who has been fighting for decades in my collection.

"Into the fires of battle, into the anvil of war!"

+Unknown trooper designation+
+Skitarii Vanguard+
+Macroclade: Pilgryms of Erudition+

Space Marine Tech Marine. Conscripted to my White Scars, Astral Claws, Space Wolves, and Flesh Tearer armies.

Here's an updated pic of my Thor rune priest for my Space Wolf army. I've been tempted to repaint the model but I just have so much affection for this model.


The Heierophant for my #tombkings army for WHFB. He has new commands for my opponents to obey!

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

  I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience.  I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
