For those who don't know, this is the idea behind "Project: Micawber"...

"Annual leadpile twenty Avengers, annual painting nineteen Avengersnineteen X-Men and a Hydra Goon, result: stagnation.

Saint Sickolas

If you have one primarch, you have a centrepiece model. If you have two primarchs, you have an incomplete collection...

So I guess this was always going to happen.

The Sweetwater Egress

It's campaign time again!

Warhammer 40k multi-player narrative campaign

We're building quite a collection of narrative campaigns and those battle reports are some of my favourite to revisit.

And so we're going for it once again - an eight player campaign, played remotely until destruction or exhaustion claims us all. Narrative provided by Kraken, maps from Pootle, camerawork and general administration by I, Stylus.

The first report will be going live shortly. Until then, here's some opening narrative to whet your appetite:

Scrapyard Specials


 Been a busy few weeks for me, sadly not on the painting front. But that’s okay! I have surplus from last year to cover me!

A Very Special Creation of Bile

Two weeks ago, I was delivered a challenge - to which I immediately responded.

Mjagnir the Jötunn

Of course, this was based off a model I received in 2018, which is a much more accurate reflection of my response time.

Skilly Creamer

 


I love the new Screamer-Killer model. It's a great modernisation of the classic angry bowling ball creature, a real stand-out from the the Leviathan box. 

It's also not retro enough.

Cry Kitbash!

Having assembled a unit of Havocs from the proper kit, I found I was left with a lot of spare heavy weapons.

And so I decided to imitate the action of the cheapskate, and kitbash together some more heavy weapon heretics.

Who Whomps the Whompsmen: Custodes vs Genestealer Cult


The top two performing armies in the current meta, and I bought them both before they were famous! Kraken and Kas here with a Leviathan throw-down, featuring two titans of the tournament scene. The other two, anyway, nobody's doing Eldar here. We're not monsters.

don't forget the knights that we are not taking either.
