My 40K skirmish project has been bubbling away for a couple of years now, repeatedly spinning off into a number of sub-projects. All of these have been fun to work on but the main goal – as always – has been to get a few games played.
Last weekend PB and I finally got around to playing a series of four games set in the 40K universe, themed around Dan Abnett style, super-spy type Inquisitorial actions. Continue reading →

THRILLING alien graveyard shoot outs!
PB and I got together to play some Inquisitorial retinue-centric, Rogue Trader style games last weekend using the 7TV rule set. The four linked scenarios had solid, cheesy and melodramatic narrative and the rule set turned out to be pretty ideal for the purpose. The session was good fun with lots of laughs and it was great to finally get all of the models that I have been painting for the last year or so on the table. Continue reading →

Catachan Devil
The creepy crawly kicking off my Alien Flora & Fauna project is a Reaper Frost Wyrm that I mined from COMs Reaper Bones mountain. I very quickly painted it to represent a classic death world predator from the Rogue Trader 40K era. Continue reading →

SQUEAL at giant mutant space rats!!!
Extra terrestrials and alien environments are a big draw for me in fiction and correspondingly so in my toy soldiers. I get a kick out of seeing my little guys beset by men-in-suit type aliens while wandering through slightly dodgy and unconvincing miniature sets that have a 1960s Star Trek feel to them. Creating my own geeky tiny film set like environment, complete with unlikely looking plants and bogus looking monsters is one of the main drivers in the hobby for me. Continue reading →

The Thinktank
I have been having fun with ridiculous b-movie evil brain alien models recently, as documented here and here. Although I would happily add a few more fun miniatures to the force, I dont “need” to add any further for now. I did however want to give my Tenebrainians some sort of transport vehicle.
