What's On Your Table: Alpha Legion Chaos Sorceror


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics or short video to natfka@live.com

Thought I’d share my Alpha Legion Sorcerer that I’ve just finished, a simple conversion adding just a Power axe and Chaosy back pack added to the new Vanguard Librarian. As soon as I saw the model I thought it looked perfect for the Alpha Legion - plus I had just finished reading the Horus Hersey novel Legion which acted as added inspiration. He’ll need some human ‘operatives’ to command now, so that’ll be the next step. 

Now Here are Some Amazing Previews. Palanite Enforcers, Warcry, and Blackstone Fortress.


There is some great stuff in here. A lot of miniatures that are simply amazing.... Palanite Enforcers.... oh yea. Time to get some "Gang On". Those Warcry miniatures... amazing sculpts.... Cant wait to see what I use those for and finally the Blackstone Fortress expansion.... Nice.

What are we Waiting for? How about some 40k


What are we waiting for? There are some great 40k releases on the near horizon from the Chaos Knights to Adeptus Mechanicus. Not to mention that we are still waiting  on the Adepta Sororitas sometime later this summer/year.

While it may not be true, it does always feel that Warhammer 40,000 is always sidelined and smaller games are given priority. Perhaps because it's the primary game out of these that I collect and play, but even it's not true Warhammer 40,000 is still their primary game system (sorry, no offense intended Sigmarians).

Yea... Kill Team is great. Yea, Adeptus Titanicus was a long time coming and Necromunda is at it's own height right now. Those are technically all related to 40k, but they are not 40k. If anything the feeling that I have is that all these other small games are diluting and impeding the advancement of 40k which at one point had a strong focus from the company. Yea, we get the occasional Battle Sister Bulletin, or preview.

I am really hoping for something exciting coming in tomorrows preview (which is really the point of this article). What will we see.

Things 40k fans are looking for........
1. Chaos Knights
2. Adeptus Mechanicus
3. Adeptas Sororitas
4. Primaris Space Marine Updates (new codex coming?)

Anything else I miss this morning?

Previews Incoming........


Previews are coming tomorrow. Any thoughts.......

What's On Your Table: Necrons


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics or short video to natfka@live.com

I thought I would share these images of some of the painted models from my fledgling Necron army, which currently has 1250 point ts of painted models.   I imagine the armour to be formed out of an ancient marble-like stone and tried to emulate that with paint.

Mortian Infantry Assault Vehicle- Pre Orders are Live.



This is a cool tank..... I just ordered the other two tanks Mortian has and will most likely need to get this one as well. Very awesome looking tank. Hmmmm you notice its about the same size as the upcoming Admech transport?. Great swap if you don't like the hovercraft.

Avatar of Thaipahn


The Avatar of Thaipahn is huge. Over 9 inches tall. This would be fun to bring to a game......

Half Price Metail Miniatures from Mierce Miniatures



Half Price Miniatures are worth a mention today. While metal is not my favorite material if there is something youve been wanting to get... its a good time to check it out.

Warhammer 40,000 Rules Addendum


This is just out....... New FAQ's and Errata.

The Complete Lists: What New Paints and Coming and Which are Going


A retailers list is now making the rounds, showing us exactly what paints are coming and which are going.

Black Library Live... Just a Couple Days Away.


The Black Library Live even is just a couple days away and of course there will be authors, seminars, and lots of new books and cds. Here is the latest, along with a slight change in plans going on at the event.

What's On Your Table: Sanguinius


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics or short video to natfka@live.com

I'm still working on the scenic base for him, but I've completed my Sanguinius model.  Both wrists are magnetized, allowing me to use whichever of his weapons I want and so I can swap him between gaming and display states.  I had a lot of fun working on this model and it definitely takes your absolute best to paint a Primarch.  For the Emperor and Sanguinius! Death! DEATH!!

Atlantis Miniatures... Funded in Less than 1 Hour... New Box Set with more....


Atlantis Miniatures has gone out of their way to really expand upon the range of their Wood Elves. I for one find these wood elves more feral and wild than other Wood Elves from elsewhere and I really love these miniatures.

1 Week Left.... New Reveals... and More.


The Verge of War Kickstarter was funded quickly and just today has revealed new Kickstarter Stretch-Goals that include a new Pirate Assault Skimmer. Those Atlases with energy shields also look right on target for the Asgar (which may just be my favorite aesthetic in the game). Here is the latest from Verge of War.

Updated: Releases This Week + Prices. ...... Oh yea... A list of What to Expect on Contrast Paints


There is not a whole lot of anything coming out this week, but we now know there will be 34 Contrast Paints coming next week along with two foundation sprays and two new base paints. Here is what is going on this week from Games Workshop, and a little peak into the following.......

The Full Contrast Paint List+ Air+ Some Paints are Going Away!


Full List of Contrast Paints and Changes. Some items will be changing and some going away. Here is the list.

Today's Rumour Engine Teaser


The Rumour Engine is up. What do you think it is?

What's On Your Table: Renegade Knights


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics or short video to natfka@live.com

Always wanted to paint a few knights. Let them sit on the shelf too long. With the announcement of GW release. Better step to it.....

Huge Sylvaneth Leaks.......


New Leaks are out...... Apparently the digital version was up for sale for a brief time and some people got a hold of them. There are also links to where people have gotten pretty much lots of the information online.... This looks like a hardline failure of sorts. First the book was delayed.... and then the digital version goes up for sale. Most likely some big mess ups here.

Rumor: Airbrush Paints Coming in a Couple Weeks?


This is making the rounds and while it does look similar to the format we see sent out to retailers, I find it a little hard to believe that the list has already been made like this to send out to them. So with that, give this some salt. It appears to have been removed from the site. So "maybe", since we were hearing rumors some time ago about airbrush paints.

Experimenting with Contrast Paints



A great video from Pete the Wargamer again experimenting with Contrast Paints to just what they will do and what they will not.

In this video I show you several techniques for the Citadel Contrast Paint range from Games Workshop that you can apply to your warhammer miniatures.







Battle Sisters Bulletin Update: Retributors

Another Battle Sisters Bulletin is up today giving us a first look at what the unit type will have as well as an Armorium Cherub. This is rather cool and begins to give us a little more design flavor for the army. These are looking good.

Longer than Expected Announcement- Colour Contrast June 8th


What? Not the announcement we were expecting today. Pre-Orders 2 weeks away? Those of us that are dying to get the new paints and try them out are like "Whaaaat?" and those that don't care that much about it (there are many of us that are primarily gamers) are going "Pleeeease lets get this over and get some 40k going"

I for one am looking forward to it... but in my earlier hobby days this was something I would of been very "meh", OK might be nice, worry about later, lets get some 40k going.

Either way lets get moving.

What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics or short video to natfka@live.com

Hi,
      I have finally completed a 4 year (roughly) project.  I have always liked the earlier marks of power armour so when the Betrayal at Calth box game came out, and then the Burning of Prospero, after completing heresy era Word Bearers and Thousand Sons Armies, I started my third Heresy era army.

The Warhammer Community has a new video up with some excellent painters taking a look at and commenting on what they thought of the new Contrast Paints.

Raid on the Temple Serpents


Ive really liked Titan Forge Miniature ranges as very unique flavored armies for just about any game you wish to put them into. These are no different. Raid on the Temple Serpents puts Ogre Pirates up against Dinosaur riding Amazons.

Welcome to the Jungle.
