Reinventing the (doom) wheel

Hello everyone!

I have been extremely busy lately with work but I have also been able to check Age of sigmar with a couple of games and I must say that I totally love it. I know, I might sound heretical but the mere fact that it made me dig up my Skaven army is something that cannot be treated lightly. As far as I can tell, people either love or hate it. I am thinking of it as a perfect opportunity to play some Warhammer fantasy once again.


As a part of this army reconstruction, I have decided to build the Forgeworld Vermin Lord that I had laying for quite a long time. It is a lovely model, full of character and detail. Here are some after construction pictures.




I have decided to build its lovely base up and build a cobbled floor with dwarven remains (dwarf players don't hate me please :P ) with wyrdstone chunks protruding just to spice things up. 

off to the painting booth then, pics of the finished model soon to come! Keep your eyes peeled for more vermin fun! 

Till next time, take care!

so here are the pics of my army. I know they are not the best quality but I need to find out a way to take full army pictures successfully :P








Pretty much tabletop standard here, nothing fancy. I have finished them in large batches of speedpainting sessions and I can say that I am quite happy with the result. The pictures are a bit crappy but you can get an idea on how they look on the table. I need to find a way on taking good army pictures (or pictures in general for that matter) but anyway.

I would love to hear what you think and as always comments and remarks are more than welcome! You can find them on CoolMiniOrNot as well!

Last but not least I would like to say how thrilled I am for another year in a row that my work is included in CoolMiniOrNot Annual 2013. More specifically, my  Chaos Helldrake of Nurgle and my Death Guard Tactical squad Faestus are there! I have just ordered my copy and I can't wait to get my hands on it! It also seems to be really hefty this year, much bigger than the previous ones!

I have also got my invitation for the CoolMiniOrNot Annual 2014 for my Adeptus Arbites 969th PrecinctDeath Guard Grave Warden TerminatorsImperial Knight and Be'lakor The Dark Master. This must be the biggest contribution I ever had on this publication and I am really proud. It was a creative year after all!

Till next time, take care everyone!!

Imperial Fists Centurions WIP

Hello everybody!

It has been such a roller-coaster ride the past month...work and some renovation work done in my house kept me away from anything hobby related. But this is about to change as I am preparing myself for yet another tournament in a couple of weeks.

The new Space Marine Codex brought some shiny new stuff but it also brought a hefty point increase in my favourite Lysander-Termies list. Therefore I decided to update my list and try some of the new toys I have in my arsenal...

I would really like to hear your opinions on my list.

This means though that I need to build new things, starting with the brand new, love them or hate them, Space Marines Centurions. I must admit that they are an extremely difficult unit to play, as much as they are extremely difficult models to like as well! But I am determined to give them a chance and I think that the Land Raider combo is the only viable solution to play them.

So I have started to build them, straight from the box, and as always I have tried to make a fancier base. The new round base gives plenty of room for scenic details. A pleasant surprise was that I was finally able to use bits from GW's basing kit with these new bases




I pretty much followed the kits instructions so far, only thing I added extra was some photo etched logos from FW's sheet



So, I would love to hear what you think! Keep your eyes peeled for more!

As always some music for inspiration!
