  • Not a lot to show in the picture but here’s what’s on my workbench. Yesterday I worked on assembling, more like finishing, two Rhinos and 5 Chosen. I got them so they are about 90% complete, good enough to field … Continue reading → Link to Creative Twilight Original Link...

  • I’m a big fan of some of the Skaven models. The crew of the war engines, the lords, even the Stormvermin. being humanoid mutants, they fit the role of degenerate humans and they share a similar flavour with their dirty, experimental technology. Warlord Spinetail arrived today, so I put the putty and...

    My Wargame: Skaven make the best Magi

    I’m a big fan of some of the Skaven models.

  • My lack of posts can mean only one thing… I’ve been busy? Yes, yes I have! In 10 days my Dark Mechanicum will be charged with defending Godhammer from all manner of invaders. While I do have an existing Ad-mech army, I’m not going to sit idly waiting for the...

    My Wargame: 10 days until Godhammer

  • Greetings C&C readers, PytnNutD (yes there are other people involved with C&C other than Overwatch, we’ve just been on vacation) here with a look at the latest Horus heresy Novel: Know No Fear. If you are like me and have turned to an iPad, or similar device, for all your...

  • Also on the desk at the moment are my Myrmidon Velites. I was very tempted to go full-on Greco warriors with these models, but that would be too far beyond the flavour of the rest of my Skitarii. While the force for March will be a ‘loyal’ army, I still...

    My Wargame: Myrmidon Velites and Skitarii

    Also on the desk at the moment are my Myrmidon Velites. I was very tempted to go full-on Greco warriors with these models, but that would be too far beyond the flavour of the rest of my Skitarii. While the force for March will be a ‘loyal’ army, I still...

  • With a major overhaul (read: complete re-write) of the Mechanicus codex, it’s a little difficult to decide (or know) what my army will comprise come March. Apart from Skitarii. Everyone has Skitarii! Rather than re-work my older Skitarii, I fancied trying some new builds. I don’t want to alienate new...

  • The new-style Mechanicum is well into conception, although I have no new pictures to show you just yet. In fact, I still haven’t taken any pictures of my Iron hands from last month. I will get on top of that soon. Unless there are some major problems with the codex...

  • In March, the Mechanicum return. This means I get to dig out my 4,000-odd points of red coats to play bolter-fodder once more. Or does it? Godhammer is a Forgeworld and the focal point of the 6th Age of the Emperor instalment. Everyone with a spaceboat has their eye on the...
