Sorry for leaving this blog dead for so long again, I’ve had a lot going on and haven’t had much chance to work on hobbies...
One thing I have done is move back to my home town and while I was gone everyone started playing Warmachine/Hordes, so I’ve dug out my old Skorne battlebox to finish putting together and paint. Unfortunately I’ve lost one of the cyclops’ arms over the years, but at least it’s something to post on here!
Still needs touch-ups, basing, and transfers, but I'm pretty happy with my first lascannon devastator. On with the next three!
"Brother Florian was one of the finest marksmen to ever serve in the Sandstorm Seraphim, yet was surprisingly humble compared to his battle brothers. When he was grievously wounded in a battle against traitorous Chaos marines it was decided to have him interred in the sarcophagus of a dreadnought so his keen eye could continue to bring retribution to the enemies of the Emperor."
Still have the base to finish and I want a custom transfer for that front panel, but otherwise that's one painted dreadnought! (omg I actually finished painting something...)

The GK hand was a terminator one, so it looked a tad big on just a power armour arm. Plus I like the horned skull that librarians use. As for getting it to line up, that comes down to very careful drilling and pinning.
WIP of Henrich, Codicer of Telepathy. Mainly made from the Deathwatch Overkill librarian, he also has some bitz from a Grey Kight staff with a backpack decoration from the Sternguard Veterans, and a Vanguard Veteran pistol (I really like librarians... I have five now with another five planned...)
WIP of Conrad, Codicier of Divination.
He’s mainly the Dark Vengeance Librarian kitbashed with a Grey Knight staff topped by a banner topper from the command squad and a Blood Angel bolt pistol (Also, what do you guys think about the progress shots? Should I do more?)
Long train trip to visit family for the holidays? No worries, I’ll get some painting done!
Once again I’ve left this blog quiet for too long, so here’s a quick mock-up of Wolfgang the Valiant, 3rd Captain of the Sandstorm Seraphim.
He's mostly made from the Deathwatch Watch Master, but with a Sanguinary Guard jump pack, Grey Knight helmet, and a Deathwing storm shield.
Rule-wise, he’s a Blood Angels Captain with a Jump Pack, Storm Shield, Boltgun, and the Valour’s Edge relic.
Decided I wanted a Librarian with a Jump Pack, so after a quick bitz box raid I put this guy together
The new Deathwatch codex inspired me to continue my plans for a small Inquisition detachment, so here we have the start of an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor made from Sorscha from Warmachine plus a few bitz from Grey Knights
Finally got a replacement hose for my airbrush and so I’ve actually done some painting started painting my first detachment of marines!
I’m determined to get these guys finished as soon as possible, so expect more WIP shots soon!
More Tau!
Here we have: -Commander Keenwind in his Coldstar battlesuit -My count-as Darkstrider made from an old metal Fire Warrior and some Pathfinder bitz -A team of “Executor” class Crisis Bodyguards (2x Plasma Rifles & Counterfire Defence System each) -Three “Striker” class Crisis Battlesuits (2x Fusion Blaster & Flamer each)
Put some industrial pipes terrain together today.
For something a little different, here’s my warband for our local LARP.
We obviously took a lot of inspiration from 40K Tau, but set in a medieval fantasy setting. Our aesthetic is a mishmash of Japanese, Chinese, and Tau with most roleplay coming from the Tau culture (5 castes, fighting for the Greater Good, having no experience with magic, using the language and rank system, stuff like that) Our tactics tend to focus on mobile warfare, with heavy skirmish forces striking and repositioning as necessary while being supported by lighter soldiers with “black-powder” weapons (rubberband guns)
This has definitely brought out my love for building things. Between my friend and I, we’ve build almost all the shields, armour, and guns in the warband. (Oh, before I get comments about things like “Samurai don’t use shields” or “Tau wouldn’t do melee”, we had to adapt if we didn’t want to get crushed in every fight)
DRONES! 19 Marker Drones, 8 Gun Drones, 4 Missile Drones, a Recon Drone, a Pulse Accelerator Drone, and a Grav Inhibitor Drone to be exact.
I’ve always liked Tau Drones and with the Drone-Net VX1-0 Formation I like them even more!
Pathfinders! I used some parts of the Tau Tank Commander in these (the body of the guy standing straight up in the top pic and the arms holding the “binoculars” in bottom pic)
The tank commander idea is genius! Would it be alright with you if i were to use that idea and post the painted mini?
Go for it, I’m all for the sharing of ideas!
