My top nine posts of 2018

It only seemed like yesterday when I started my new year project in February, Grymthenian Lodge Fyreslayers, looking back it’s surprising how much work I’ve done since then. From Chaos Tainted Knights to spectral Nighthaunt, I’ve tried to experiment more with colours and hobby work. With 2018 drawing to a close, I decided to pickContinue reading “My top nine posts of 2018”

Crimson

A new year, a new project, a new blog series and my final 40k army collection series. The end is near, but the Crimson Fists will sacrifice all to ensure mankind lives another day. From near extinction, Pedro Kantor led his few remaining brothers from the ashes of defeat in an all out final lastContinue reading “Crimson”

12 days of Winter: day ten, change of plans

Originally I was going to dedicate day ten as a gathering of my Sacrosanct Chamber and Nighthaunt models into a photo final. However, plans were changed after I found this softcover comic…. A first edition print by Titanbooks in 1983, Judge Death collects all of the ‘Return of Judge Death’ storyline created by John WagnerContinue reading “12 days of Winter: day ten, change of plans”

12 days of Winter: day eight, Megazine collection

A short post today about recent finding of old sister 2,000ad comics, the Judge Dredd Megazine volume 2! In total I have 19 issues from #1 to #20, only missing issue #5 in the bundle. I found this collection at my local car boot sale, all for £5! As a 2,000AD fan, I couldn’t missContinue reading “12 days of Winter: day eight, Megazine collection”

12 days of Winter: day seven, Warhammer Battle Bestiary (1992)

Today I want to show a recent item I found last week, an old copy of Warhammer Battle Bestiary. What’s interesting about this book is that it contains all the factions with profiles, from Dwarfs to the undead. I have no idea about what edition this book was, judging by the release of 4th editionContinue reading “12 days of Winter: day seven, Warhammer Battle Bestiary (1992)”

12 days of Winter: day six, Red moon (Before New Grim)

The Red moon rises as the Grim cult causes untold damage to the county During the night on the 18th December, 1999, at 18:37pm, eyewitnesses saw a strange sight as the moon arose in glowing red. At first it was believed just gossip from the locals at the beach, until many eyewitnesses across the countyContinue reading “12 days of Winter: day six, Red moon (Before New Grim)”

12 days of Winter: day five, False Gods and serpents (just my thoughts)

I mentioned in day three on my tribute model on the sons of Horus how I was inspired by the Horus Heresy books. I took inspiration from various books relating to the Sons of Horus including Horus Rising, Vengeful Spirit and various short stories in the series. Recently I read Graham McNeil’s first book inContinue reading “12 days of Winter: day five, False Gods and serpents (just my thoughts)”

12 days of winter: day four, My top ten recommended Black Library books

Apologies for getting Day 4 of my seasonal blog post late, it took me some time to edit this post right before deadline schedule! After four months of reading The Founding Omnibus for the Gaunts Ghost series, I felt like I’d achieved not only that I had read three books in a short space ofContinue reading “12 days of winter: day four, My top ten recommended Black Library books”
