Decided I'm going to do a photo dump of some of my existing armies. Photos of varying quality, got to get a good army photography setup one day... Starting with my Legions Imperialis "Defenders of Terra" army, mostly Imperial Fists with White Scars allies and some titans and knights.

Progress report on the 5th Battalion, 191st Death Korps Assault Korps. Tanks almost finished; artillery about half done; 7 out of 10 platoons complete. Here are about 15,000 pts, 550 infantry, 30 tanks, and 15 guns. The Imperial Guard stands ready to defend the Imperium!

Couple of extremely quickly painted test minis for Kriegsmen. Forgot their shoulderpads woops. My take on the 143rd scheme. I think I like the right with the mode blue coat more. Tagging in
@edpaintskrieg.bsky.social
as someone who has probably painted more Krieg figures than anyone 😄

Another experiment in airbrushing contrast paint. This is Blood Angels red. Which went on suuuuper translucent and and kinda darker than I expected? Not an awful base coat but I think it'll need something brighter to help it pop.

It's amazing what a productivity booster an airbrush can be when it's working properly. An hour more work and I've put a little pass of Yriel Yellow on the Achilles and base coats on a pair of Vindicators and a Proteus. At this rate I'm going to have to build more tanks.

absolutely delivering the goods as usual. Excellent comparison of the new termies. I like them more in this context. Still going to end up converting them. They're not as tall as I thought they might be, but the change to the shoulder pads really alters the silhouette.

First attempt at spraying contrast paint through my airbrush. Pretty good. Very vibrant and quick to go on, but also extremely transparent so my under painted brown is a bit more obvious than I'd intended. Still lessons learnt.

Anyone have any recommendations for light grey/off white acrylic airbrush primer? I've got a bottle of Vallejo surface primer but it clogs my airbrush after minutes. The bottle is old and probably full of crud, but if I'm buying a new one may as well try something else if there's better options.

So Star Wars Legion. The new minis look fantastic, and the current edition of the rules seem pretty playable from what I can tell. Anyone I know playing it? Kinda tempted to pick it up in the coming year.

So it looks like hobbyist favourite Biostrip20 is out of production at the moment. Has anyone found a good replacement? I really liked how low fuss and quick Biostrip is. I also need something that wont ruin resin/finecast minis, any help?

First game of third edition Heresy down. Did lose but it was a fairly close score. Fantastic opponent who was very patient when I was looking up rules. Think my army has some promise. Definitely had a blast rolling dice and pushing minis around.

Put together some more modern Lord of the Rings figures from GW today. They still scale nicely with the old metal minis I've held on to. Some lovely details. A lot of tiny parts though. Each Rohan guy has a two piece head. Which was a bit time consuming. Especially when I kept dropping them 😂

Been working on more bits for my Ultramarines Legion. Extremely happy with this Land Raider, the conversion looks pretty much exactly how I wanted it to. Painting is getting there. Doing the doors and tracks separately just for ease of painting.

Couple of new lads for my Imperial Fists. I'm still working on my new Ultramarines army, but I couldn't resist Heresy-ing the new Lysander and I had to make a new Centurion with a slightly game-y loadout in case someone wants a serious game.

The SHOCKING TRUTH about our Cursed Dice

The SHOCKING TRUTH about our Cursed Dice
Every tabletop wargamer knows the truth: dice aren’t random. They’re vindictive little cubes of treachery. Whether it’s losing an unlosable melee, failing the easiest morale check in history, or watching your proud cavalry rout like frightened goats, bad dice rolls have haunted our hobby for decades. In this video, I dive into the age-old curse of wargaming dice. From fiery executions and hammer justice, to toxic oven meltdowns and the ritual sacrifice of unlucky dice, I’ll share the hilarious — and sometimes painful — ways gamers have tried to cope with terrible rolls. Along the way, I’ll recount some of my own legendary disasters, from the infamous “Battle of Hal” to the day I accidentally ruined my wife’s Call of Cthulhu career with a single roll. If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your dice, laughed at your own misfortune, or just enjoyed swapping war stories with fellow hobbyists, this video is for you. Because in the end, the best wargaming tales aren’t the ones where everything goes right — they’re the ones where the dice betray us in spectacular, unforgettable fashion. @youtubecreators #YouTubePartnerPerks Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-OyOZpU-R7PNBOFwP4mu3g/join
