A quick 2025 Review.

 It seems like a bunch of other people are doing this, so thought I'd copy their lead, mostly to reassure myself I did actually get some hobby stuff done this year, as tbh, it's not felt very productive. 

As you'll know if you follow my blog, I kind of stopped posting for a couple of years, a combination of hobby burnout, not feeling enthused about posting, and tbh wondering if the blog format was still worthwhile anymore, but I came back in March and decided to make a bit more of an effort. 

This big guy was probably the catalyst for all that, as I really enjoyed printing, assembling and painting him:

Anyway, if you want to see more, then take a look after the break...

Altheim Part 11: The Docks

 Ok, so, time for a bit more Altheim. I've made a start on the docks area, so these are warehouses in the Dutch style, so narrow and tall, designed to fit side by side facing the docks, with living and working space above the storage area.

First up is the Becker Import Company warehouse, left to dereliction after being sealed up on the orders of the Guard due to irregularities with the quality of fish. Of course, the other story is that Old Man Becker wasn't paying enough in bribes to the Red Hand, a shadowy group of criminals that have high level connections and may or may not be secretly a choas cult...

More after the break! 

The Changer of the Ways!

 Something a bit unusual for me this time as I don't normally do bright colours on models, but here's the original model of the Greater Daemon of Tzeentch, the Changer of the Ways that came out for 3rd Edition WFB and Rogue Trader 40k. 

As you can see, I've also gone for a neutral backdrop this time instead of a scenic one, I'm not sure which I prefer tbh. Anyway, more pics after the cut:

Bringing Dark Future artwork to life!

So, I'll start by saying that Dark Future is probably my favourite GW universe, Carl Critchlow is one of my favourite artists, and that this piece of Dark Future artwork by Carl is probably one of my favourite pieces of GW art: 

So, as a follow up to this post (also all the way back in 2018!) where I copied another piece of Dark Future art to make a vehicle, I thought I'd do the same with the pirate radio truck, and here it is!

All the details after the cut....

Is this the World's most expensive Ork Warbike?

 

In my never ending quest to create the most pointless conversions known to Warhammer, I knocked up this monstrosity (in the centre, between some of my other Warbikes!)  a while ago but never really got around to documenting it. So anyway, here it is, in all of it's limited release, Bob Olley, Iron Claw, Rogue Trader glory, the Vincent Orkshadow!

More details after the cut...

Time for a super-sized big special boy!

Don't talk to me or my son ever again!

So, here's a fun experiment in 3d printing, I bought a digital fan sculpt of the limited edition 30th anniversary Space Marine figure, and thought I’d see how far I could push the size. This is 500% over standard, it stands well over 6” tall, and this was about the limit of what my 3d printer could manage to fit, even in pieces. He was pretty fun to paint, as I really don’t usually work on anything this large!

Back with a bang, and a big one! The DRAG5 Great Imperial Dragon.

OK, here's a big one as my first return to blogging after about 18 months or so!

As I'm sure you're all aware, it's the Citadel DRAG5 Great Imperial Dragon, also known as Mordax, a Chaos cursed dragon that can never die, and also the mother of Kegox, the Chaos Dragon. 

Lots more photos after the cut:
