WAAGH! Drillteef

Warboss Thudguts pledged himself and his warband, Da Krumpin Squad, to Drillteef after the Painboss brought him back from the brink of death on the killing fields of Torgazond. Although the Warboss came out of the operation with a belly full of kustom organs, he could still fight and lead his Boyz to victory. Da Krumpin Squad served at Drillteef's pleasure for years. The crew was always known as the "Goff-iest" of all the warbands in the WAAGH! They were known for collecting the most esoteric (and functionally overcomplicated) close combat weaponry based solely on the shape of the dent it would leave in an adversary's skull. Recent years have been trying for WAAGH! Drillteef, but Thudguts has remained loyal to the cause throughout. Such was his loyalty that Thudguts, with the assistance of his closest adviser, Weird Zagwarp, who helped Drillteef wrest control of his WAAGH! back from Boss Krakbone despite the Painboss's recent failures. This is for...

The cloud of Ork vessels hurling towards the ongoing big fight in Ultima Segmentum is not only crammed with Orks, but billions of tonnes of heavy machinery. Among them are Big Mek Dreadnutz's Dread Mob. Among these clanking gods of war are two new machines. Kommandos in the field reported back to Dreadnutz that an army of Beakies with shiny, yellow armour called the Lamentors had finally received some reinforcements, so they were worth a proppa fight. Of course, Dreadnutz sent all the burnas and lootaz he could spare to attack the Beakies and take whatever they could. Although severely diminished in number, the Orks were able to return with one of the Beakies' beautiful new vehicles. As such, the Repulsork was born! Look at these worky bitz! So much dakka! Perhaps still not enough! The Repulsork has already had a few early victories! Dreadnutz has also created a Gorkanaut to convey his personal bodyguard of Meganobz into battle. Of course, the Gork...

I'm back to finally finish off the series with the Ork buildings from the  ITC terrain series . My ITC Orc battlefields have quickly become my favorite by far. They are really amazing. I especially love the L-shaped buildings and the towers, but the whole line is really gorgeous. In this video, I show you how I added some personal flair to the buildings (even though none is really needed... I just like being difficult). I also show you how I supplemented my terrain with some cool southwestern style hills. At the end, I show off how the paint came together and how the terrain looks with models on it. Check out the video for more and let me know what you'd like to see next in the comments below.   And remember, Frontline Gaming sells gaming products at a discount, every day in their webcart !

I haven't had a post in a while, so I figured I should do one before the first three months of 2019 is over. Goldensprue Cup Terrain The Goldensprue Cup GT was a success again and there was a lot of terrain to be made for that. This included a "Sprue City" battlefield and two Ork battlefields thanks to Frontline Gaming and some help from my buddy, Pat. Star Eagles I painted up the three Aggressors at the end of January and the Inceptors at the end of February. I royally screwed up the steps on the Aggressors because I failed to refer to my formula notes before starting work. Buggies I picked up a bunch of buggies at Da Boyz GT in 2017 and I've been champing at the bit to get them done. Here are the results of that work for March. What's Next? I thoroughly enjoyed painting these buggies and I think I want to move on to the Gorkanaut model I picked up at the Portal GT last year. I'm looking forward to ...

This year, I harnessed my D.I.N.K. status and the month off I got to recuperate from gastric bypass surgery to get a ton on hobby progress completed. Even with the relatively easy amount of personal responsibilities, it was a huge undertaking to get 475 models painted this year. Thanks to Wendy for being the coolest. Also thanks to my hobby peer group including my own 40k club  made of various local and remote folks and also the people in the 1 Hour a Night Facebook group and the Insane Mode Facebook group. Note that, in addition to these painted figs, I found the time to renovate the game room, write about 45,000 words, co-produce over 30 episodes of the Masters of the Forge podcast, play lots of games, and run the Goldensprue Cup GT . I also attended The Portal GT , the Beef & Wing Brawl , and Da Boyz GT . Imperial Knights Army The first army I finished this year were my Imperial Knights of House Draco. I've had mixed experiences regarding my knights. They wer...

Knight House Draco has been in active deployment along the Draconis March from Terra to the Eye of Terror throughout the course of the Indomitus Crusade. Their combined forces have met stiff resistance regardless of how far they stray from the Cicatrix Maledictum, for their charge is to seek and eliminate the incursion of powerful Chaos entities wherever they emerge. Indeed, the house's long history of combating powerful Daemonic threats has been a boon to the Imperium in these warzones. Loretta Colbert and her mount, Knight Warden Maleficent, have hunted the frontier of the Cicatrix Maledictum for decades. When the old king was deposed as a result of his death at the hands of a trio of Bloodthirsters a decade ago, the Scions of House Draco voted unanimously to raise her as the High Queen of Draconis Noctum. Loretta is more mild-mannered than her predecessor. She is more thoughtful. However, she still prefers to engage directly with the enemy rather than lead from a rearguard...
