The only thing keeping me sane, right now, is Warhammer. I try to draw and I get stuck… I can work on models and I’ve started playing 40k again after 20 years.
I’ve got a cool store to play at, and they have an Oldhammer group. I’ve played a handful or 10th edition games and I have a Prohammer game (an amalgamation of 3rd-7th editions) on Friday, where I’ll be fielding my Daemonhunters.
Here’s some new and old pics of the growing army.
Here are some in game pics of my Agents fighting heretics.
I made a second Chimera, and I think Improved on it. These templates have a lot of fiddly bits to cut out by hand, but the detail looks good when all finished!
I’m pretty happy with all three, now.
Here is the completed sheets for you to download and print. They can be used for my RPG or as the Infected Colonies for One Page Rules. I worked briefly with OPR on these, but they wandered away from 2D minis. They were fun, though.
Phineus the RPG can be purchased HERE.
I love the Inquisition in Warhammer 40k. I have several warbands of them in my collection. As they ally with my many armies, I need specialized transports for them. I already showed you my paperhammer rhino, so here is my paperhammer Chimera. (rhino shown for scale & upgrades I did on it)
Chimeras are extremely difficult to build, with all their weird angles and compartments. Hard but fun!
Next up will be an Inquistorial Mk1 landraider. It’ll be my third landraider to scratchbuild. After that, some sort of flyer for the Inquisition. So much fun.
Working on glowing up my ooooold school Imperial Guardsmen. They will work in conjuction with my Imperial Agents.
I have most of my Rogue Trader Imperial Guard done. I just need to base them all. Here is all my infantry, save my Storm Troopers, which I’ve kit-bashed to look like the 2nd ed. versions with the berets. I also have a lot of tanks.
Hail, hail the gangs all here. Phineus, Sara, Rugnar, Maynard and Cole! And also, their pal, Hellboy!
Most are Reper miniatures, Phins head and most of Rugnar are from Frostgrave Wizards sprue. And bits from Stargrave and Games Workshop, too!
While I try and figure out what I am doing with my comics, I am continuing to paint through my pile of shame. I got some of the newer D&D minis and painted up a Beholder and a Grell (both seen here accosting my Imperial Navy).
I’ve also dug out some 30+ year old Ral Partha minis that I never got around to painting. I painted up a dragon and an Otyugh.
I also painted up a Gryph Hound for my Breachers’ Cyber Mastiff and my Hrud Rangers for my Ordo Chronos force, along with a proxy Jokaero Weapons Smith for my older Inquisition lists.
I have a bunch old old Ral Partha Star Frontiers and Gamma World minis that are on my hobby table, should be fun to paint them up!
Behold! The completed Ordo Chronos Inquisitorial Acolytes, lead my Inquisitor Rassilon.
My Inquisitor works closely with the Adeptus Mechanicus to find and acquire lost time travel tech and study it. His name is taken from the villainous Time Lord president from Doctor Who.
Lots of oldhammer, here, mixed with kitbashing. This was a fun project, decades in the making.
Here’s my Inquisitors’ rides. Some official rhinos, a scratch-built rhino, scratch-built chimera, scratch-built proxy Corvus Blackstar and proxy Immolator/chimeras. In the back are my proxy Russes for the allied guard I have.
I have the icons all affixed. These were just printed on label stock and stuck on.
I have a bunch more infantry to paint up, and some more Sisters as well. I’ll post more when I finish them.
As longs as I’ve played Warhammer 40k, I’ve wanted a city of terrain. And now I have one!! I downloaded files from https://www.toposolitario.com/workshop/tableros.html and built a bunch very quickly and it looks great!
The tokens are tokens for my game Backwaters of Mysticism, tokens I made of the Infected Colonies for One Page Rules (they were official for a bit, until OPR got 3d printing and lost interest in supporting 2d printed armies). The tanks and cheap but awesome Robogear tanks.
I’ll be using all this for the game I’m running next month of Backwaters. Should be fun!!
I’ve been messing around with an idea to do a space story about a bunch of aliens who get stuck on a derelict space station. I’ve been finding some cool tabletop war/RPGs that have inspired me. I’m not sure if this’ll go anywhere, but here’s what I’ve been fiddling with.
Some older pics of my squats. One of these days, when I get them all painted, I’ll do a proper photo shoot. Until then, here goes.
These Space Marines were my first foray into Warhammer 40k, way back in 1992. I’d seen a local game store display the Sons of Elvis chapter, so I did a silly home brew chapter, too. The Imperial Frogz. And that’s a lot of green.
99% of my army is beakie marines, and gret deal of them are old school Rogue Trader minis, as well. I filled in the ranks with newer models as they came out.
I mean to update the pics, as I finish up the couple of straggler figs that still need painted.
I hadn’t dug these out in ages and I’d forgotten just how many I had. Yikes!
Edit: Added new pics after finishing painting all the models. All I have left to do is base 150 models. Yikes!
My sisters are the first army I have ever finished painting, completely. I took some better lit photos with a better camera and here are the new pics!
Newly painted Squat Landraider, Squat Arvus Lighter & Squat Lancer Knight.
Acroyer Knight Titan
My Acroyer Knight Titan for my Imperial Armies. Made from a random mech model, the head of an Acroyer Micronaught, gun from a mech warrior toy and Gatling cannon from a GI Joe bike.
I built the bones of this out of chipboard, using a template I found online. My first Squat Landraider was made from a pattern I made myself, which I since lost.
I printed the template onto letter sized pieces of chipboard on one of the big printers at work. I cut it apart with utility knives and scissors and glued most of the pieces together using white glue, holding it together for drying with rubber bands.
i also used odd bits and bobs from random kits in my bits box. I crafter the twin las cannons from plastic tubing I got from my hobby shop, combined with parts from a GW Landraider.
I also sketched out and decoupaged a Dwarven face on the fron hull.
I have armed the tank with a very old multi meltas and a hunter killer missle.
I Need to find some time to toss some paint on this. It’ll be gold and reds, fitting for Kris Kringle! Remember my squat army is fashioned after Kris Kringle and Rugnar and all the North Pole dwarves from the comic.
More to come, soon.

Edit: Finished Landraider
My Sisters of Battle army, maned after Brother (Saint) Maynard. Around 2500 Points.
I am re-starting the Bastard Who comic I am doing as a brother comic with James Riot. It is a Doctor Who parody comic. I mix in a lot of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and a little Warhammer 40K as well.
I have created a new WP site for it, as the powers of Chaos have eaten the one on ODK. It will update on Thursdays for the foreseeable future.
You can check out the second issues, Credits here, the first page posts next week.
