I put the finishing touches on my Stormraven Gunship over the weekend, by adding some landing gear and tightening up a few details that were bugging me. When I started this project I was hoping I could make the gear long enough to touch the ground, while allowing some room for the wingtip thrusters to […]

Here are some more Marauder conversions I whipped up for my Warriors of Chaos army. I wanted to field some great weapon models so I could handle high iniative enemies a little better (ELVES)! All I did for the great weapons was attach the axe heads from the Marauder hand weapons to the flail hilt […]

I’m still on the fence about what I’ll be running at Mechanicon this year. So I tried out a Dred Mob army list today out against my Mech Imperial Guard, and it did quite well. Here is what I ran; Big Mek with Kustom Force Field Ghazghkull Thraka 8x Lootas 8x Lootas 19 Grots w/ […]

Okay so were back with part two of my Thunderwolf Cavalry of Khorne conversion. So now I had a great foundation to work from, and just need to add some arms and a head.  I knew I wanted the model to be dynamic- either holding his weapon over his head, or swinging it to attack.  […]

Hey guys hope everyone had a good weekend.  I myself was quite the busy beaver, and managed to put the finishing touches on my Thunderwolf Calvary of Khorne conversion. I can’t wait to hit the table with it.  Here is how I went about making it. When I began the project I started from the […]

My buddy Joe Carlson came up to me at Games Day last weekend with this very nicely done Abaddon conversion using his pewter bits with a new plastic terminator. I had to take a few pics of the mini so I could share with you all!Get Featured!  If you have a unique conversion and would […]

Just a reminder our Miniature Market will be next Saturday Sept. 4th at 11am. It also happens to be the same day the new Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition Box Sets go on sale. So there is two great reasons to come up (well three if you count swapping out your High Elves or Skaven models […]

Okay we all had some time to think about it. So here are the moves you can make to achieve victory over the Space Marines. Daemons Are Scary The biggest hurdle to winning this game is the rhino lurking on the left.   It’s unassuming but it can single handily keep the Daemons from winning. […]

Here is some HD video of the Golden Demon winners at US Games Day 2010.  Pretty amazing stuff. Congrats to all!

I had been thinking about making some “Chaotic” Thunderwolf  Calvary models for awhile now.  When I saw the preview models for the Bloodcrushers a few weeks ago, I knew I’d be adding some “space wolf lords” to my Chaos army. So I just got some of the new Bloodcrushers and started converting them up. Here […]

I saw these guys the other day, along with the Ku’Gath model I posted earlier, and was really really impressed with them. The are brought to us by the same Nuglely genius; isotope99.  This is his walk through of how to make plastic plague bearers (which if you are chaotic at heart like me, this […]

Hey guys, this is a joint article Big Red and I did over at BoLS. The full video of the whole Forge World preview display case is at the bottom.  Be sure to check it out.  Enjoy- MBG Big Red: Well, we got a bunch of pics of the Badab War minis and the cover […]

We’ve all issues with primer- whether it was too much, too little, flakes, or fuzzy paint it’s one of the most frustrating parts of the hobby.  Mastering this basic technique is easy however- as the most common solution is to not prime your minis in high humidity. Also keep in mind the distance between the […]

One of the most highly requested model kits has now been released in plastic, and best of all you get three in one box! The new kit is by far superior to the old pewter ones.  There is a ton of gubbins in the new box, along with alternate horn options for the Juggernauts as […]

I used to really enjoy an old article in Inquest Magazine (published for Magic the Gathering) called Dead Man’s Hand.  You would only have one turn left and you had to kill your opponent that turn, or you lose. They showed you your hand and the battlefield, and you had to come up with the […]

Here is the list (more or less I think I edited it some towards the end) I took at War Games Con.  It served me well! I had 4 wins and going into day 2 I was on Table 11.  That would have probably gone well for me, if I had shown up to play […]

We’re starting a 40k Campaign this Wednesday at FTW Games, and I thought it would be awesome to revisit the old Vogen system.  I lucked out and still had the old PDFs of the campaign.  So I converted them over to the 5th edition rules set for everyone to use!If you decide to run the […]
