Weirdboy

This is my first weirdboy since Second Edition. He is from my World Wrecka tribe of techno-savage orks that are descended from the survivors of the Second Xhorik War. He is a mad prophet who doesn't understand his own psychic abilities. He thinks his ancestors' bones are what gives him his visions and powers so he carries them around and talks to them.The staff helps him focus and direct his psychic energies, with the copper wire providing a direct conduit from his brain. He also uses his staff to discharge his power into the ground when it builds up dangerously without a suitable target, such as in the buildup to a battle or during a warbike race around camp (that's the source of the crater at his feet). The hood and googles also help him keep his powers (a little more) under control rather than blasting anyone he happens to be looking at during a surge of Waaagh! energy.

Part prophet. Part Gimp. All mad.

Death Guard Legion Praetor

I've added a Legion Praetor as an HQ choice for my Horus Heresy Death Guard army. Equipment: Cataphractii terminator armor, volkite charger and paragon blade.

Hobby desk organization

I organized my hobby area this week. With multiple armies in the works plus terrain-making supplies, it was getting out of hand.

I have all the bits, sprues and junk for terrain organized well enough, but I would still like to eventually do something with my paints and brushes.

WIP Ork Characters: Tankbusta Nob and Weirdboy

After the last six or seven months working on the beginnings of a Horus Heresy White Scars army, I am back to working on my first true love: Orks. I finally made a nob for my tankbustas and then I cobbled together a weirdboy so I could add some psychic mayhem to our games.

Horus Heresy Battle 1: Dusk Skirmish

The Death Guard and the White Scars prepare to do battle for control of the ruined cathedral.

The Death Guard attack at the hour of dusk, their most ancient tactic. 

Death Guard Update

Here's a few pics of my Horus Heresy Death Guard army. I have a 14 man Tactical Squad, a Contemptor Dreadnought and a 3 man Heavy Support Squad that I hope to add to as soon as I can get my hands on some more HH era missle launchers.

White Scars Outrider Squadron

Outriders are obviously a key component of any White Scars army worthy of the name. Space Mongols need mounted units, after all.

White Scars need bikes. I hope these are first of many.

White Scars Bikes

The bikes are mostly done, except for the weathering. Now on to the riders.

The center bike is for the sergeant. His red marking is a bit longer. 

These guys are in for a bumpy ride over some rough terrain. Horus Heresy battlefields are devastated! 

I hope to have the riders done and the models finished in another week or two.

IHI Command Post - Painted (and other miscellaneous bits)

I painted up the Interplanetary Heavy Industries command post and a few other pieces of scatter terrain (plastic accessories from a toy construction kit that I just painted).

Xhorik Prime has a very corrosive atmosphere so this prefab construct is showing some wear and tear.

IHI Command Post built and ready for paint

I have been wanting to build some terrain so I have been picking up bits, toys and the odd-shaped item from Home Depot. Here is the result: a command post for an Interplanetary Heavy Industries extraction outpost in the middle of the Xhorik badlands.

IHI buildings mostly consist of prefabricated shells that can be set down and configured as needed. The doors are operated by the nearby control panels.
