Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Emperor's Children Horus Hersey 30K

There is just something about the Horus Hersey that reminds me so much of the Roman Civil Wars of ages past. I am very excited about entering this period. It's always a slow process for me, but my Wife has promised a few extra units of this proud chapter to be joining my ranks in August. I do hope this comes true. In the meantime I have plenty to paint. I've given my attention to a few friends projects, but these I have finally caught up on and will be able to work more on this one. This is a Contemptor Dreadnought that I am just in love with. I am taking my time painting it up. It's a resin model from Forge World and resin is not as forgiving as plastic, so I have proceeded at a snails pace on top of doing other stuff for my pals. Here'w what I have so far.

Yes it's not much, but I already have a vision of what it will look like when done. It will be beautiful. Of course everyone's children are beautiful to them (get it, Emperor's Children, my Children.... Okay never mind).

Cheers
Kevin

    Very cool, Kevin. I built a similar one and used magnets to allow some articulation. Here's a link http://wabcorner.blogspot.com/2013/10/contemptor-dreadnought-wip.html

      Thanks Dean, I am also going to use magnets. I have been doing that for my Tau suits. But always interested in how other people do it so I popped over to see if I could steal some secrets;)

      Cheers

    What are magnets used for. You guys are losing me. Maybe Kevin you should paint something for me and invite me to a game. Hum...sounds like it would be fun taking your little sister. 😇

      Magnets. These figures are expensive and usually come with more than one choice in weaponselection. So instead of buying say three models so you can have three variants, you drill small holes into arms and weapons and glue small magnets into drilled holes so you can have one figure that can now swap out different weapon choices by taking off one and placing another and the magnets hold arms in place.

      As to painting something for you? You can't afford me;) Though your welcome to come game anytime!

      Cheers
      Kevin
