Orks Warbiker

40k orks warbiker



My Deathskulls army usually traveled on foot, but I've finally added some Warbikes too my mob.


I think I've discovered a recipe for Ork skin that I love. It's Vallejo Russian Uniform, Ammo Moss Green, and Vallejo Golden Olive. Despite being from different paint lines, they blend so naturally together. I also started shading with Skeleton Hoard from Citadel Contrast and Citadel's purple ink (whatever stupid name they call it...) The purple shade make green skin seem more lifelike, like how veins look blue on fair skin tones.

I've felt like I'm in the zone on the past few models I've painted and I'm making leaps in the quality of my work. I just want to keep painting!

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models.  The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating.  If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list.  Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
