Warhammer conquest issue 6 review

 

 

Issue 6 of Warhammer conquest is out with 3 more models for the Death Guard. And more models means we gotta have a death guard organization chart!

Warhammer conquest issue 5 review

Issue five is out and this week is a space marine week. Not only does it introduce power weapons into the rules but we got a new exclusive model called lieutenant Calsius. 

Warhammer conquest issue 1-4 review

Warhammer 40K conquest is at issue 4 now, but what is this magazine about? Is it for beginners or is it for the more seasoned Warhammer collector? Is it good value of just a cash grab gimmick? Join me as I review the first 4 issues and we see what this magazine is all about. 

The End Times of Ebay Loots

IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES IT WAS THE END TIMES......LITERALLY

Remember when the End Times first came around and everyone was getting killed? It should have been called the sad times :-(. All those well know known characters and places gone.....poor little queek headtaker and little Lord Skrolk. But..........

WIP: Thanquol and Boneripper

The latest project i have been working on is painting the Skavens Thanquol and Boneripper. Now i  have had this model for quite a long time and iv always been intimated about painting it up. But why?

Lets Paint: "KRRK THE ALMOST TRUSTED"

Rejoice skaven rats! We have new models!

Spiteclaws swarm is the new expansion release from GW as part of the shadespire game. Each of the five models that come on the box are brilliant. Full of detail and dynamic poses.

Run Gutter runners RUN!!!!

The Skaven warband almost has its two gutter runners almost finished.

I hated painting the black. The abbadon black paint had an almost had a gloss finish on it and ii couldn't paint the robes grey because the wall pieces on the base would be grey.
So what i had to do was put a nuln oil wash over the black parts to take the gloss of. Then i dry brushed dawnstone grey mostly all over but more prominently on the edges.

Stormfiends: Bigger then your average rat!

For Christmas i had got a Element Games gift voucher, so there was no war-gaming surprise for me under the Christmas tree. But it did let me get some more models for my Skaven army and i don't know why but i seem to constantly overlook the Stormfiends.

First things first, these guys came out when the end times was in full flow so that meant they came with square bases. It went completely over my head that that there were no round bases in the box. Secondly you will notice that the Stormfiend with the ratling cannons is slightly different from what he is supposed to look like. He is meant to have a third rattling canon on his chest but it looks so ridiculous that i couldn't put it on. i replace it with some warpstone piece from what was left over from the box.

RISE CLAN ESHIN!!!

This is Clan Eshin warband project in the making now for only god hows long! But i finally started making the models based on the list i made in a previous post.

Kit Bashed Hellpit Abomination

This is something that's been on my shelf for a while.

A Deathrunner & Deathrunner conversion

I had gotten two Skaven Deathrunner models of Ebay a few months back and had completely forgotten to share what i did with them. I love this model and please god the get a release by themselves, just like most of the silver tower models did :-(

What's on Spunges Hobby Desk?

Well it has been a while! I was starting to think i was never going get back into the hobby. Second year in college has been taking up every single second of time i have but if i'm not doing some hobby then at least i'm doing something positive!

Rebasing a Verminlord #1

The rebasing from Square to round bases still continues in the hobby shed. I have 4 skaven monsters to get rebased altogether, Thanquol & Boneripper, Hellpit Abomination  I had bought round bases of Ebay and they ended up being really big! A bit to big! So i decided fill the base out and make it a scenic base.

Old School Verminlord

This has got to be one of favourite ebay finds. I've loved this model from when i first started collecting Skaven. i usually hate working with the old metal models but this one was a joy to work on. Only part i had to change was his tail. His original tail was missing so i went looking through bit bitz box and funnily enough it was a piece from the new Verminlord kit that was a perfect fit!

Deathwing Terminators unit finished: Hobby Journal

Oh boy. Do you know how good it feels to write a post about a unit that i finally got around to finishing?  There are numerous units i have started over the years only to have fallen wayside and into section of the hobby shed i call the "Blues Box".  Not a physical box but more of a metaphoric box. All it consists of is the endless cycle that us hobbyists abide to. Buy-start-blues box-repeat.

Deathwing Terminators WIP

So after a few weeks i finally had a chance to sit down and get some hobby time in and I have been focusing on trying to get this unit of Deathwing Terminators finished. It’s the unit from the old Dark Vengeance starter set and I’m painting them up as a gift to a friend. 

Spunge's Hobby Desk: Deathwing Terminators, Verminlord & Roboute Guilliman

One of the things im working on now is a unit of Deathwing Terminators. Had these since the Dark Vengeance came out a few years back and never really had anything planned for them. I had started a patreon account to go with my YouTube channel and as a thanks to my friend how supported me through it i decided to paint up the unit for him.

Easy to Build Box: Death Guard Plague Marines

On a recent trip to a Games Workshop i picked up the Easy to Build Plague Marines. For €12 this is a cool little box to pick up. It has 3 of the new plague marine models that are snap fit and easy to put together. 

Ebay Loot: Finally getting the original Verminlord

Anyone remember the Verminlord before the end times? Probably not. but its hard not to have a soft spot for the original model for what is essentially the skaven version of a demon prince. I nearly bought the original metal one brand new but when the newer kit came it got pushed to the side for the new shiney.

I have always kept my eye out for one on ebay but as usual it takes a while to get one at good price. Some prices had gotten really high but eventually i managed to pick it up for €14 including delivery. The only negative about it was his tail was missing. I knew that when buying it and it didn't bother me to much because the price was so good. I used a spare tail from the newer verminlord kit and i will add the Doom Glaive from that kit also.

Stay tuned for when i get around to painting this guy up. Should be fun and looking forward to adding him to my painted collection.
