Warhammer 40k Articles & News

These are the final flash rules we hashed out over the past month at the shop.  They work pretty well, and keep the pace of play moving well. I encourage you to try them if you looking for something new to spice up some 40k play.  Please comment back with how it goes!Here’s the changes […]

Well the timing on this article seems rather fortuitous as Big red just published my How to Custodes Article over on BoLS. Coincidence aside check out this flying Adeptus Custodes Rhino from the Feast of Blades GT. This puppy has pretty authentic Heresy Era styling. It seems to come standard with jump jets on the front and sides of the […]

If you missed it during it’s last year at Baltimore, Games Day 2010 was a blast.That’s also they year they introduced the “Armies on Parade” contest, and hobbyists from all corners of the land flocked to make their army be number one. Many big names entered, but in the end when the dust settled (aka judging was done) Dan the […]

So I’ve been saving this bit of coverage from Feast of Blades for last (but certainly not least).  You see, there was no painting award on the Feast of Blades Invitational side. Instead there was players choice, and it went to Mike Haspil for his amazing Knights of Titan army. Mike had been working hard on this […]

So Jkin started up a Space Marines Scout recon army for our 500 point Flash League at the shop. One of the centerpieces of the army is this scout insertion speeder, a’la Black Hawk down. He converted this vehicle up to represent the it’s ability to transport scouts into position, and have something characterful in […]

Every good thing must come to an end, and now as I sit writing this in my hotel room I can’t help but wish I had played this weekend. My ATC teammates Nick Rose, Thomas Reidy, and Kenny Boucher took first, second, and third respectively in the invitational, and I would have really welcomed a […]

Welcome to Armies on Parade, where I display (in hopefully good detail) some great looking armies from major tournaments all across the United States. If you click on the Armies on Parade label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking armies, all at once. It’s like you were at a major event yourself, all from […]

Around the shop were starting up a little escalation league of sorts, themed around what else but the NECRONS. (good timing eh?) I thought I’d get on here and post up how we’re running it, so maybe the fever will spread, and inspire other clubs or stores to run their own flash leagues as well.So here’s how it works…. […]

Check out this amazing Siege of Terra Mega-Diorama from Adepticon 2011. What ever club was responsible for building, heck even taking on such an ambitious project should pat themselves on the back, as this rocks. This board definitely ranks up there with some of the most spectacular hobby displays I have ever seen. Let’s take a closer look, as I attempt to […]

My buddy Beef (hold the cheddar) stopped by the other day with a new WIP, a Ravenguard Dakka Dreadnought. He converted this puppy up good, with a bunch of solid true scale aspects, heck you can’t even tell those are sentinel legs till you see it from behind. The model kinda almost reminds me of […]

A little while ago I did a tutorial on my Pre-Heresy Iron Fists Army, but I left one model out- my Librarian. Today we’re going to take a look how I made him, and how you can make your own (as there is no model for the Power Armor Librarian right now- sad pandas) Back in the […]

The other day I was cutting up some bits, and a sweet conversion idea hit me outta the blue. Come see the custode conversion that appeared out of thin air.

Here is another custom FRAG! conversion from YepImadork. This guy’s definitely got some character, eh?  I for one have no idea how he opens doors, unless he just saws them in half, lol.  Jump below the fold for all the details. So for those of you not familiar with it there is an old board game out […]

Well Jkin has been at it again. He’s taking a small break from his Thousand Sons army and working on something new. Now instead of making some Astartes look noble,  he’s afflicting a their vehicles with Nurgle’s Rot. I’m sold, because boy does it look good so far! He’s gone to town on this thing, […]

My buddies YepImadork and Seppuku made the shop a pretty sweet terrain table a few months ago. They packed in a ton of detail into the board that really puts it over the top both in terms of play-ability and appearance IMHO. Here’s a brief summary how they made the board.  To start, they used 1/8″ thick plastic […]

Hey guys welcome back. Today I’m going to go over step by step how I painted up my Chaos Space Marine Death Guard models for an upcoming Apocalypse Game.It was really simple and took about 4-5 hours total for each squad of ten, which I thought for the end result was great.  Keep in mind […]

So I cornered Jkin the other day, to get pics of his Pre-Heresy styled Ahriman for his Scarab Occult army, and boy does it rock. Check out this bad boy below! To kick off this project he started with a just normal Grey Knight Terminator (for statue he’s still “in power armor”), and just went […]
