Regular visitor to the blog might recognise this conversion. I began this project back in May 2016 and gave it a good run for a few months until I had to put it away for awhile. It was tucked away for just shy of a year. I made another push and almost finished it last […]
Read more "Paint job: Thousand Sons Forgefiend Conversion"I built ten more Rubric Marines, five Scarab Occult Terminators (need to get some shoulder plates for one of them though) and based the lot of them along with a few other models. Yeah, I got some work cut out for me. Keep on trucking! Ps. I’ve been swamped lately and haven’t had time or […]
Read more "Snapshot from the workbench"I played my third game of 8th edition and my second one with my new Thousand Sons army Friday night. I faced my brother and his Astra Militarum. I had challenged him to the first mission of the Fate of Konor campaign – Invasion. The mission has asymmetrical victory conditions. The defender scores points by […]
Read more "A Thousand Sons, part 3"Wow, part 11 of this WIP. I got some more paint down and it feels great. I’m really getting close now. I’ve boxed in and washed all the base colours. Once the washes dries I’ll pick out the blues again and start highlighting the metal and gold. And then the final details. So close. I […]
Read more "WIP: Forgefiend Conversion, part 11"Quick WIP-post to show off some paint progression on my Forgefiend. The skin is basically done, I will return to it to add more depth and detail at the final stages of the painting. I only just getting started with the rest.

Read more "WIP: Forgefiend Conversion, part 10"Yes! I’ve finished the Forgefiend Conversion (or at least building the big baddie). I decided to glue everything together and stick the model on a piece of hardboard. I’ll glue it all on a proper big oval base once I get my hands on one. I made the feet more sturdy and the whole thing […]
Read more "WIP: Forgefiend Conversion, part 9"Resurrected from the its long dark slumber in the box of not-right-now-projects my Forgefiend Conversion has returned. Some of you might remember this massive undertaking from about a year ago. I threw myself head first into this project but in the end it got the best of me. After several weeks of work I couldn’t […]
Read more "WIP: Forgefiend conversion, part 8"Say what? Yes, it’s already time for another update. I’ve been doing a lot of Green Stuff work on the Forgefiend, focusing on the armoured carapace. The work’s been done over a couple of short sessions. Early mornings mostly, before heading off to work. The actual sculpting isn’t taking that long, 30 minutes or so per […]
Read more "WIP: Forgefiend Conversion, part 7"I managed to do a little work on the Forgefiend conversion before skipped off to work. I concentrated on the neck. It is mostly done, I’ll just run some cables from the head back to the neck and tidy up some of the details. That’s it for this time. It’s not much, but I wanted […]
Read more "WIP: Forgefiend Conversion, part 6"+++ Many Carnifexes died to give you this update. +++ I’ve started working on the upper body. There loads and loads of work left to do but I’m extremely pleased with the feel and pose of beast. The fact that I can put it together (apart from the Hades cannons) helps a lot when it […]
