Well got some free time last night, and hammered out some more Grey Knight Purifiers, with the new airbrush set-up. But now I am need of some advice; (and this is where you can help), I can’t decided on which set of shoulder pads looks the best. I wanted to keep some white on the […]

Every wonder what one of the most expensive kits Forge World makes looks like in real life?Me and Jkin were taking the other day about how cool it would be to have a Tau Manta, and then we wonder just how much work it would actually be to assemble, lol. So to the internet we went. […]

Here is a list I peeped the other day that looks pretty solid. It’s from Togashi Shinkaze, who just smashed the 40k ‘Ard Boyz scene a few months ago. I’ve been gearing my Grey Knights to a more Purifier-scoring build, so I’ll definitively be playing around with this list in the future.

So I spent the weekend posting about all the sweet Necron conversions I found out on different sites. Most notably were these Triach Stalker conversions that really, really resemble the artwork from the codex. Today however I’m featuring another one of my new Necron conversions, the Ankh Pattern Destroyer. I call it the Ankh mostly because of the curved […]
