The "Damnedlegion40k" made a YouTube short about Space Wolves and used a picture of my model during the whole thing. I don't know if I'm flattered or pissed.  Needless to say, he didn't ask permission to use my photo or even give me credit.

A couple of weeks ago, I played in a small Warhammer 40k RTT, then a GT at a nearby FLGS. Between both tournaments (a total of 8 games) I won only 3 matchups. I haven’t played Warhammer 10th edition very well and it shows. In my local game store, many of the players have left because they’ve grown frustrated with 40k and my regular circle of friends in my gaming group has gone from about to 10 down to 2. To be honest, it’s heartbreaking. I thought Pariah Nexus would bring some of them back to the game, but so far, no dice. We had a vibrant community but now it’s hard to get a pickup game locally. There’s usually a monthly RTT nearby that I can go grab some games to scratch that itch but I’m still sad that many of my friends have drifted away. I’m lucky that I enjoy the crafting side of the game and that allows me to stay engaged with the hobby via this blog and my Instagram posts though. That’s a long-winded way to say that I’m not playing as often as I’d like, and I suck at the game. ...

Here's my latest Ork Warboss in Mega Armor conversion. I think I'll call him Kaptain Krump. He's made from an old Gahz body, Kaptain Badrukk head, a deff dread claw, a green stuff flag, and some Space Marine odds and ends. The treasure chest is from Mordheim. What do you think?  #orks40k #deathskulls #waaagh #dakka #conversion #miniaturepainting #waaagh #Warhammer40k #28mm #28mag #freebooterz

  A new boy to the mob, probably leading Lootas.

This last weekend I took my Eldar "big boy" list to a Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader Tournament just north of where I live.  The organizers scheduled it long before Pariah Nexus and new FAQs were announced and decided to keep the missions and rules for Leviathan even though they were just released. Because of the hype for Pariah Nexus and the new Balance Data Slate, a lot of players dropped and skipped the whole event. I thought it would be fun to bring my double Wraithknight and Yncarne list to try my luck and see what happens. It needs a little luck when drawing tactical objectives because it struggles scoring primary. Long story short, it's fun but not a great tournament list.  My list:   Eldar (2000 points) Aeldari Strike Force (2000 points) Battle Host CHARACTERS Farseer (80 points)   • 1x Eldritch Storm     1x Shuriken pistol     1x Singing spear Farseer (100 points)   • 1x Eldritch Storm     1x Shuriken pistol     ...

  Nightshift made a 40k model!  Martin is a historical armor modeler and one of the best painters and modlers on YT. I've followed his videos for years and I use many of his techniques on my 40k figures. It's so satisfying to see his approach to a 40k figure. His thoughts on the armor panels and bolts is very insightful. 

I have a handful of the new GW Orks and this is the first one I've painted. The way it was sliced during the molding process made for some difficult seams to fill, sand and remove but it's a more dynamic mono-pose figure. I think I still prefer the arms, torso, legs approach. #40korks #orks40k #deathskulls #orks #waaagh #Warhammer40k #40kapocalypse #miniaturepainting
