Librarian complete.

A work in progress gathering dust, I finally plucked up the nerve to finish off this model which had previously been in limbo.

Crusader WIP

Following on from my previous theme of 40k artwork-inspired model building, I present to you my latest inspiration piece:

Warrior Acolyte WIP

The power of 40k artwork shall never be underestimated! On many occassions flipping through various 40K codices, one gravitates towards the dark gothic 40K artwork that abound and sometimes one thinks: "Wouldn't that make a great model to create, paint and play on a 40k table?".

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord - finished!

Prior to investing in a Coteaz-wing army, I had experimented with including a Terminator-armour clad Inquisitor Lord in my army list, armed with Psycannon / Daemonhammer combo, with varying degrees of success.

Scanners: Their Thoughts Can Kill!

Guess wot? I’ve started a new army for this new 2013. After almost 2 years playing an all-Grey Knight army in various guises (Mordrak Bomb, Draigowing, Thawnwing, etc) I’ve opted to bolster my collection by playing the Inquisitorial Daemonhunters faction, a.k.a Coteaz-wing. By taking Coteaz as HQ, this unlocks Inquisitorial options as troops.

Sly's New Movie: Bullet To The Head?

A movie advertisement on a bus passed by me the other day, so I googled it up and much to my surprise, good ol' le soldat expendible Sly is back (again), baby!

Here's the poster in all it's glory:

Pretty spry for a pensioner! In fact, the poster made me think of an old entry from that arcane curiousity, the Codex: Catachan Jungle Fighters (4th ed., still available as a PDF download from the GW website here). Take a look at a sample of the old codex interior art if you don't believe me:

Coincidence? Despite a 10-year difference, I think not! GW better get their act together, I sense lawsuit! :)

Plastic Stormtroopers IV: Size Comparison

Here's a photo comparing the size of my plastic storm trooper / warrior acolyte conversions to that of the original Cadian Kasrkin metal model. Not bad, eh?

Amazing what interchangeable multi-part multi-source kits, a little imagination, and some easy gluing can achieve, along with a simple paintjob.

Note: Normal service re: photo uploading, has now resumed. I'll be posting more about my brand new 2013 army very soon!
