Tau Fire Warrior Test Piece
I have been promising myself some brightly coloured, vaguely anime inspired tau models since 2001 when the range first came out. I have been picking up a few models here and there ever since (not forgetting a large donation from theottovonbismark last year) but this is the first tau that I have actually got around to painting. Continue reading

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven
This retro looking chap is a late eighties/early nineties GW inquisitor miniature that I picked up on Ebay a while back. I painted the figure for use in skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (as discussed a little here). Continue reading

Gyrinx number 3
Not actually the second gyrinx, but the second post about gyrinx (whats the plural of gyrinx anyway? “Gyrinx” surely, like “sheep”). Its probably not going to be the last post about space cats around here either… Continue reading

L to R: Commissar Headroom, Commissar Trude
While they didnt feature in the original Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader rulebook, commissars showed up as part of the Imperial Guard soon after. They were a defined part of the 40k universe quite early, long before second edition came out.
The first White Dwarf that I ever saw (#108, December 1988) featured an article that introduced both Space Marine Chaplains and Imperial Guard Commissars to 40k. It has taken me a quarter of a century to get around to painting any commissar models. Continue reading

Navigator Totenkranz
This vision of loveliness is Reaper Miniatures Dr. Totenkranz. I picked the figure up a few years ago intending to use it as a zombie boss type – some sort of sci-fi necromancer/evil scientist and possibly the root of the zombie outbreak. I ended up being distracted by something else and never got much further than assembly until last week. Continue reading

Heinlein – Navigator of the Navis Nobilite
Further distraction from my DreadBall stuff, this peculiar looking goofball is a companion piece to the blue gyrinx from last week. Continue reading

Gyrinx – L to R: Mr D’Arcy, Paul
I got a little distracted from my ongoing and quite substantial DreadBall project over the last few days and painted these two guys. I did base one of the figures for use as a DreadBall coach though, so I didnt get completely sidetracked.
These furry little predators are domestic cat models bought from the sadly very soon to be no more Mega Miniatures, painted to represent a bit of old school 40k nonsense called “Gyrinx”. Continue reading

Its astro-amphibians today. These two fish-folk are Laserburn miniatures made by Citadel in the 1980s. The first “Rogue Trader” edition of the Warhammer 40,000 rules spun out of the Laserburn rules in some respects. A number of familiar elements like bolt guns and jump troopers made the leap to 40k and some others, like these fishmen, did not. Mores the pity. Continue reading

Lord Hector Decimal addresses his troops using traditional binary cant.
Hector is the leader of my skirmish sized Necron force. I traded for the model which was originally supplied as part of one of the plastic croissant shaped Necron vehicle kits. Continue reading
