The Heretical Inquisitor Heldane











It is no secret my Favorite 40k book of all time is the Eisenhorn Omnibus.

There is a great character who tries to steal Eisenhorns Daemonhost.

Inquisitor Golesh Constantine Pheppos Heldane.

I used a skeleton horse head,cabling,and g/s and the body of a crusader.

One of these days I have the greatest Inquisition force in the making,I just need to put it together someday.

Pumice Paste Basing

I always troll through art supply stores.

The other day there was a sale for a product that looked alot like Vallejo Lava.




A jar of pumice paste used to add texture to canvas.
It comes in Fine,Coarse,and Super Coarse


This stuff dries to a rock hard surface and is sticky enough to stick to any base.


This is a great way to make realistic looking slotta bases without gaps.


Take a small amount of paste and a little paint of your desired color,I am using Charadon Granite.





Mix thoroughly and spread onto base.





While wet sprinkle a little bit of hobby sand to add varied texture and add a small rock if you like.





Let dry overnight and you have a great base ready to use.

Retro Rogue Trader Space Marines




In my new love for the new Forgeworld kits I have begun a project that excites me.


A completely accurate Rogue Trader Squad complete with Apothecary and Military Police.


I have chosen the iconic Ultramarines as the squad to base this great idea around.


So for the first one that is finished enough to show the retro Apothecary that has this awesome paint scheme that I saw in group pic in the ancient Rouge Trader rulebook which I bought just for this project.

I love the new Forge World kits.


For the most part I do not think I am ever going back to the plastic kits except to convert the resin pieces.


I have a few different projects in the pipeline,Crusade Era Terran Dark Angels,Retro Rogue Trader Ultras and this guy,


My Alpha Legionnaire in Mk5 Heresy Armor like on the cover of Legion.

Stalk Tank Pt 2















Here is a mostly completed Stalk Tank.


This is my best Garbage into Gold conversion I have ever made.


This was a scrap model that was thrown in as a bonus for a lot I bought a while ago.


I refurbished it for a Blood Pact army I am making for a real cool guy.


This model has showed me how useful a defiler kit can actually be and I plan on picking one up and building the entire thing from scratch for the one I plan to use for my army.

Blood Pact Stalk Tank in Progress











I am making this stalk tank out of an old wrecked defiler I had sitting around for a commission.

I love how it came out and plan on continuing using this design for even my own army.

I designed it so it could run with as a Leman Russ with plasma cannon.

Games Day 2010 coverage
















I just got back from Games Day.
It was not as huge as I thought, but was very well done.
For Us Pre-Heresy Type ForgeWorld has no plans on Stopping with what we have seen so far.
They have said they are coming out with both Pre-Heresy Terminators and Dreds.

Seems GW and Forgeworld kind of taken notice of how well certain after market bits sell and would like some of the pie too.

The Badab War book comes out really soon.
I did'nt ask but I think in a few weeks they are putting out the Badab Book with the Librarian Honor guard.
Did I forget to mention all the hidden pics are of a really cool Libraian in MK4 and his Honor Guard all in Relic Armor.
The second book comes out around Christmas

The Ultramarine movie will be out this year and looks a whole lot better than the teaser trailer.
I have a pic of a screenshot they made into an advert.

I also spoke with Dan Abnett who said The next Guant's Book comes out next year.
And he also plans on starting the new Eisenhorn trilogy next year as well.
Like he said, first will be a short story book about Eisenhorn and company.

There was a new advert for Space Marine that was geared for people who were not as familiar to GW which was cool.
And the First Race for the MMO was laid out with a longer video.
I got to say game play looks kind of cool.
