  • Alright all, it’s about time I posted an update. Hobby wise, I have finished another 5 marines in the past two weeks. I also did a bunch of drilling and magnet work on the land speeder, but nothing too exciting. I got it all primed up and then realized I hadn’t...

  • So, over the past 30 days I have made a little bit of progress (pictures will follow, as soon as I get my camera working). I finished magnetizing my land speeder, and have it primed up. In total, it took 11 magnets, though it is possible to do it with...

    Maximum Firepower!: Magnets, Land Speeders, and Blue Paint

  • Finally found some time to do some 40k and blogging. Over the past month, I’ve returned to my simple green project. While it has not been as amazing as everyone says, I have had amazing luck cleaning off an old land speeder and those Tac squad I managed to ruin...

  • Back from AT. Updates will be inbound this coming week. After I get my hands on some Simple Green, we’ll see how things play out. Edit: Today I’ll begin my Simple Green experiments. For those of you not familiar with it, the Independent Characters are hosting a Hobby Progress challenge...

  • I’ve finished my Captain and I finally have an Ultramarine force I can field! This is my victory shot, after painting him in one sitting. It was ridiculous, but I did it. And I decided to repaint the power sword green. It is used in my palette, but infrequently. The...

  • I finished my tactical squad the other night. I really like the lighter blue color scheme. I’ve also used one of the GW Washes for the first time (Gryphonne Sepia) and it was awesome. Flamer: Cygnar Base Blue (Heavily watered down), Drybruh Scorch Brown, Drybrush Black WIP Shot: I painted...

  • I took a break from painting to make some green stuff chapter badges. The tactical marking shoulder pads look better than transfers, so I wanted to make the other side match. Learning to sculpt green stuff was pretty tough, but I like the results. And even if they aren’t the best,...

  • I finished up the first combat squad of the marines I’m working on. Basing, Purity Seals, and Squad markings still need to be done, but the other details are finished. Before I finish the squad, I’ve started making green stuff icons for the shoulder pads using this guide. It’s going...

  • So, as the title says, I’ve been working on my Tac Squad, and decided to put a couple of pictures up. I’m also getting the supplies to build a wet pallet. I found a guide to making one in Freeboota Magazine (40k Radio’s ezine) using a peanut butter lid and...

  • I’ve been trying to figure out a few things before I move on in my painting. Here they are, in no particular order. Shoulder Pads: I haven’t had issues with transfers (well, not horrible ones), but I’m trying to figure out if it would look better to have a green...
