Unleash the Plasmazord!

 Are these daemon engines good now?

Or maybe it's the new Chaos Space Marines codex, and everything is good now.

The Jolly Red Fellow

It was always going to happen. When I built my cabinet last year, I made sure there was enough clearance on the shelves to fit in this big fella.

So here's Magnus!

Swiss Army Brute

I can see that project updates from I, Stylus, have been pretty thin since February, and I have duly sealed myself within a daemon engine sarcophagus in penance.

"Where are the toilets in here?"

The Daemon Formerly Known As...

I got the Daemon Prince model for Christmas, then I assembled and painted it right away - it's a new me!

Although it took the best part of month to finish it, so it's definitely the old me.

Disc Jockey

Hey there, pop-pickers! My Thousand Sons are going into a smash-tastic battle tonight, and I couldn't send them in without a leader...

Not half.

Let's spin up the discs!

How To Get Ahead With Battle Standards

It was about time my Savage Orcs had a Battle Standard; a dominating centrepiece to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy, and give the army something to rally around:

Hmmm.
I have to say, it's not really that impressive...

Oh, I see.

1. The Pledge

Despite my previous adventures in magnetism, attaching detachable elements to my chariots proved to be a very different prospect than gluing a couple of magnets to plastic bases and letting them stick to rubber steel.

To begin with, I had to attach N42 magnets (3mm) directly to the models. This meant drilling a hollow into their feet - or both feet, in the case of the spear-wielding bosses (bigger and more unstable, in the best orky tradition)

"The magician shows you something ordinary. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't."

Since the hole was too large for my slow and steady hand drill, I had to use a power drill and hope for the best (i.e. make a new foot from greenstuff when I drilled too far).

After drilling the model's feet, I glued the magnets in there. They stuck out a bit, as there wasn't enough foot to contain a whole magnet, but that suited me, as I reckoned it would be stronger to 'peg' into the hole anyway.

Magnets: Fun with Ferrites

This week I have been learning to harness the power of magnetism…

You think I look badass now. When I grow up, I’m going to be Gandalf.

My armies have tumbled off their movement trays so often I’m starting to suspect they enjoy chipping their paint and forcing me to get out my brushes and give them a little touch up.

In a bid to keep everyone where they should be, I have decided to TAP INTO THE POWER OF THE EARTH’S CORE (or possibly the North Pole, the Wikipedia article wasn’t very enlightening).
