Khaki Malarkey In The 40K

In the grim darkness of the future there is only khaki.

As part of the process of my development of a prototype squad for Project Big Kahuna, this has involved undercoating the models black (my standard procedure), and now I have to apply Kommando Khaki paint as a basecoat for all the armour, shoulder pads, knee pads, etc.

What I can say is, unlike the joyous simplicity of painting Codex Grey onto my Cadian 512th models, Kommando Khaki is a real b!tch to paint!

Sergeant Van Stoken and his men need a lick of paint!

Project Big Kahuna: Progress so far.

Slow but steady conversion work on the headless and armless Cadian 8th models, into playtest 'concept' models for Project Big Kahuna.

Project Big Kahuna: Volunteers At The Ready!

I present to you the remnants of a squad from the Cadian 8th ‘The Lord Castellan’s Own’ regiment, after struggling through a bitter campaign on board the infested Space Hulk, “The Hammer of Ecstasy Bay”. On board the dastardly and claustrophobic transport, this brave squad was involved in fierce close-quarters fighting against the nefarious forces of the Royal Male.

This is what’s left of them.

Overcome That Stumbling Block

New month, new blog banner, and new blog colour scheme I'm trying out!

Designer's Notes: Count Radu

Welcome all, to the first of a series of hopefully many blog posts, entitled ‘Designer’s Notes’!

As Project Big Kahuna continues apace towards the golden goal of the Beta Test release, consider this a ‘leaked preview’ document of one of the many homebrewed new special characters and units, to be released into an unsuspecting 40K-playing public. You lucky, lucky people.

Now, onwards to the notes!

Once You Pop You Can't Stop

Apologies to all! No Wednesday Gaming Night (again) for the 2nd week in a row, us lot being busy and all. Still, next Wednesday comes round it’ll be a battle royale between Laur’s Ultramarines VS Doug’s Chaos Marines in their first proper outing! Chaos has only ever reared its’ spiky head twice on Wednesday Gaming Night, once in an 800 point battle, and another in a 3-way battle as well. They’ve performed well so far, and now with an all new Defiler in the mix, we’ll see how this goes.


AN UPDATE FROM THE 512th CADIAN

Just thought I’d put a little post here to take stock of what I’m intending to do, 40K-wise. Real-life really does get in the way, but here’s what’s happening:

Preview: Project Big Kahuna – Welcome to the Zone..

I’ll be honest with you all and say that currently Project Big Kahuna is at a standstill, as I seem to be suffering from something called writer’s block! Notably, I’m trying to actually write-up the titular rules entry itself and seem to have hit a wall, along with reality’s work demands and other distractions in the mix.

Preview: Project Big Kahuna - A Better Tomorrow

It's a bit of a risk for me showing off WIP pages of Project Big Kahuna, as so far all I've previewed are but mere art samples, but Project Big Kahuna is all about the risks.

So here's an actual 98% completed page for all you loyal readers, followers, and the curious alike. I would say the project is barely scratching the surface in terms of rate of progress, but progress is ongoing. Stay tuned!

I present to you preview artwork-in-progress of my new-top-secret project entitled - Project Big Kahuna. This is intended to be an unofficial fan-based supplement to an existing 40k codex, with original fan-produced fluff, artwork, maps, rules, models, etc. No-prizes to all who guess correctly what it is. Shhhh!
