New Snow Bases

A variety of snow basing materials and test pieces


I haven't been happy with how my goblin green bases on my retro Blood Angels look. I think they are too bland and I've been searching for another solution where I wouldn't have to completely rebase the entire army.

Warhammer 40k snow base


I've always wanted an arctic themed army (winter GI Joe's were some of my favorites) so I've been testing some options and I think I've settled on this base as my favorite.

I'll use wet mud to cover the green sand. Then apply a light coat of static grass and larger rocks, followed by a coat of Terrains Snow and a few Ice Sparkles.

Normally, I'm a big fan of Vallejo or MIG products but the Vallejo snow looked like cottage cheese, I couldn't get my hands on MIG basing effects, and the powder bits from Woodland Scenics or Army Painter don't look good in the tubs so I didn't bother spending the cash to try them out. 

Let me know what you think!

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...
