I recently completed this "Star Hunters" Thunder Warriors model for my Age of Stryfe-era White Scars.  I may need to add some more chipping, and I'm tempted to add some ochre streaks like John Blanche's art.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #blanchitsu #ageofstrife #unificationwars #thunderwarriors #28mag #thunderwarrior #whitescars40k #starhunters #warhammercommunity 

Chapter Name: Gargoyles Founding Chapter: Unknown - White Scars and Alpha Legion are rumored. Founding: Ultima Founding Home world: KS-34 Colors: Light Blue and Black Specialty: Orbital Strike Strength: Unknown, believed to be less than 1,000 battle brothers Fortress Monastery: Battle cry: Morior iinvictu (Death before defeat!) Description: The Gargoyles are a loyalist Adeptus Astartes chapter who are suspected to be a successor chapter of the White Scars or possibly Alpha Legion geneseed. The battle brothers of the Gargoyles won't reveal their true origins, however, they are believed to be recruited from hive cities, like Necromunda. The Gargoyles specialize in void combat and orbital strike tactics. They prefer quick interdiction and often aim to strike an enemy commanders as their first point of attack. To this end, the Chapter utilizes drop pod assault, terminator deep strike, and other fast moving vehicles to, "fall on their opponents like rain." --- This is my first...

WIP 4 of my #90smarinechallenge mini. I'm getting close, but due to work, I don’t have much free time to put on this fellow before the deadline.  Also, every time I fix something, I seem to add another thing I need to touch up! However, I'm very happy with how this is going! 

I started using a wet palette for my miniature painting about 5-years ago. I'm not kidding when I say that it was one of the biggest game changers to my painting hobby. I mostly used it to keep my paint wet by adding days of shelf life to my paint. More painting time means I use less paint. Plus, I can blend colors well on the paper. I tried a homemade sponge and parchment paper kit, and it worked ok but it was far from perfect. However, I was convinced enough in the process to try a Sta-Wet palette from the art supply store. I loved it.  I paint almost every day and my first Sta-Wet last about 4 years before the sponge disintegrated to the point I couldn't use it.  I won an Army Painter Wet Palette at a tournament so I tried it out instead of replacing the Sta-Wet. It's a little smaller than the Sta-Wet but it was plenty big enough for the kind of mixing and blending I do. The Army Painter Wet Palette also features a brush holder; a feature that I didn't use and it con...

WIP of my #90smarinechallenge mini after about 4 paint sessions. I mucked up the flames on my bolter, and there's some smoothing out to be done, but I like where it's going. 

I got in another hour of painting on my #90smarinechallenge mini. I've lost most of my work on the chest gem and aquilla after gluing the bolter on...  I may make the gun red since it all looks very green. 80s & 90s Salamanders were a much darker shade of green and it makes sense to have their armor stand out more against the goblin green base. #wip #Warhammer40k #oldhammer #salamanders40k 

Here's a WIP shot for my entry for the 90s marine challenge by Darren Larham. This is my progress after two hobby sessions, about 2 hours of work and I'm pleased with how it's going so far. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #salamanders40k #badabwar #armageddon40k #spacemarines40k

"Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!" My Rouge Trader era army project continues with this humble tactical marine. My painting has slowed way down lately and I'm trying to paint better. However, my pile of shame is growing but I'll work on my #90smarinechallenge next - since this is an 80s marine. #badabwar #armageddon40k #spacemarines40k #salamanders40k #28mm #28mag #astartes #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammerofficial #Warhammer40k 

  Sword and Sorcery fans get ready!  I've been lucky enough to befriend some amazing writers, journalists, authors and creators and I'm always delighted when their work hits the stands. I can't wait to read my old friend, Howard Andrew Jones'   new novel that was released this week!

Earlier this week, Winters SEO posted a YouTube video talking about 10th Edition and asking if it was any good. The consensus is, yes, but it still needs some tweaks. There are a few problems with balance between factions, points per unit, and the dominance of the shooting phase vs close combat, as-well-as "Fluff dictating rules." I agree with most of the points made, but I felt the urge to chime in the comments and posted this: I've always enjoyed having lots of models and skirmish level games don't have a lot of attraction for me. (Pawns, give me lots of pawns!) I know that a lot other gamers (if not most) would rather play with just the best models in their codex and see "troops" as a tax to their enjoyment. My solution is to make those humble troops count for something, specificity, greater OC values. Make an ordinary troop count for OC 4. Make elite mega-killy models OC 1 or 0. Then ordinary isn't a tax on your army, it becomes a valuable asset to b...
