The third progress post for Armies on Parade 2017 sees some long overdue work on the guns for my Acastus Knight Porphyrion. Oddly large weapons are one part of models that I struggled with for inspiration. The engineer part of me wants to make sure that the weapon looks technically feasible, but this tends to […]
Continue ReadingIt’s been a busy week and a bit, but I feel slightly more confident that I’ll get my entry for Armies on Parade completed. Now it might not necessarily be as completed as I’d like, as with most projects you can always find additional things to do. I can’t see me getting any scatter terrain […]
Continue ReadingAfter entering my Bloodbound in last years Armies on Parade, I knew I wanted another go this year. Rather than putting the same army in for a second time I had already decided that I wanted to get my Knight Household up together for my 2017 entry. So in an effort to get me blogging […]
Continue ReadingThe Forge World Acastus Knight Porphyrion was unveiled at the Horus Heresy Weekender in February put up for sale last week and I can happily say that I have one of these in my hands and what a beast! Weighing in at 1.6Kg and pretty much the same height as a Warhound Titan the Acastus […]
Continue ReadingThis week’s Forge World Newsletter has surprised us all with the offer to Win a Titan! with every order over £100. The offer goes on until the last day of March so there’s plenty of time to get an order together. On offer are two Warhounds, a Reaver and the massive Warlord Titan! The Warhounds and […]
Continue ReadingWell the Horus Heresy Weekender 2016 is over and what an event it was! Lots of new miniatures, lots of new information and “read between the lines” and plenty of photos taken! (some up on my new Twitter account but others will be added later on). This was the first time I’d managed to do this event […]
Continue ReadingI’m starting to enjoy this 52 week challenge! Week 3’s targets have been comfortably achieved and I’ve done a few other bits to boot! Firstly I’ve created myself a Twitter account. Although I’m generally against “personal” Twitter accounts where people post up the fact they’ve just made a sandwich or gone to the toilet, I […]
Continue ReadingI know January isn’t for another 3 weeks, but I’ve been exceptionally rubbish at putting new things onto this blog, despite having done quite a bit of modelling and painting, and there being various “big news” releases over the past 6 months. So I’m resolving to identify that and try and get something up new every […]
Continue ReadingIt looks like Forge World are undertaking various changes in the bundles that they offer. This might be related to the rumour that Games Workshop are redoing their whole website and incorporating Black Library, Forge World and GW into one store (at the same time Forge World take over Finecast production), or it could be […]
Continue ReadingWell Forge World have really done a good job on the pre-Christmas delivery and I have a rather large box of resin sat next to me at work. Considering I ordered this last Friday, it’s arrived in less than three working days which is actually faster than I’ve ever received an order previously. Although I’ve […]
Continue ReadingThe Forge World seminars are always a wonderful source of information and pleasure. Because Forge World are a smaller team, much of their work is planned months in advance and they’re not bound to the same ‘tight lipped’ secrecy that has become synonymous with Games Workshop. I think some of this is because Forge World […]
