One of the biggest constants in my hobby life has been a discussion forum known as The Bolter and Chainsword. Initially created in the very late 90’s as a place to discuss all things Space Marines in a friendly and constructive environment, the board now caters for all things 40K, 30K and many of the…
[40K] Space Wolves: Haakon’s Intercessor Pack
The first army that I ever collected were the Space Wolves. It was the early nineties, miniatures were prominently made of pewter with plastic arms and despite the setting being so grimdark, everything was brightly coloured. Into this arena stepped the 2nd Edition Space Wolves Codex… and I fell in love. The wolves motif, the…
[Necromunda] Hired Gun: Hive Scum
After an absence of nearly twenty years, I’m delving back into the seedy depths of the Underhive! First miniature on the hit-list is a kitbashed Scummer. Using one of the Delaque gangers as a base – mostly because of the western-style duster – I’ve gone with the classic gunslinger motif. Parts used included: Delaque torso…
[30K] Sons of Horus: Legion Praetor
My SoH Praetor is finally finished! With such a long paint time I had plenty of opportunities to second guess the pose and the colour scheme – but it all came together in the end and I’m really happy with how this guy turned out. The OSL on the sword was the first time I’ve…
[30K] Sons of Horus: Legion Praetor (WIP)
My converted Legion Praetor is just about ready for paint. Based off the Ultramarine Praetor from the Betrayal at Calth boxed set, I’ve added a few bits and pieces to give it a more savage SoH feel, not least of all the Abaddon-esqe top-knot. Hopefully it will all fit together again after the paint job….
[30K] Sons of Horus: Legion Centurion
Next up on my hit list was a Legion Centurion and I had a Forgeworld mini from the Praetor set floating around that I wasn’t terribly fond of. The intricate details of FW miniatures combined with the (sometimes) hit-and-miss nature of resin casting can often be a recipe for disappointing, hard to paint models; which…
[30K] Sons of Horus: Legion Tactical Squad
So, I’ve recently committed to painting up a Sons of Horus force for 30K, a decision that was greatly helped by the release of a painting guide by Christoffer of the Dorn’s Arrow blog. For those who haven’t seen it, you can find it here: https://dornsarrow.blogspot.com/2019/01/sons-of-horus-painting-tutorial.html It’s an absolutely superb resource for all budding SoH…
