Ain't no rest for the extremely unpleasant

From this day forth we are Space Wolves no longer, instead we are to be known as......

Puppies in space


See below for pictures of the aforementioned space puppies, hurray!


With any luck they will survive :P

For Russ og det Allfar!*



After scouring a number of boxes and several cupboards/drawers, I have been able to gather all of my old space marines in preparation for re-assembly/re-assignment as space wolves.


Do I hear you ask why? No? Because reasons, that's why.


Anyhow, I shall now cease talking to myself so that you may bear witness to the majesty/horror of what happens when I attempt to decorate small plastic soldiers.


Spoiler alert, I couldn't be bothered to take any pictures until after I was finished/fed up.




Runeprest Bjarnulv - 110pt*






GrĂ¥ jagere fra flokker ett og to - 2x190pt*

Prey to our Primarch Vulcan He'Stan!

Hi all,

For the tale of gamers I have decided to complete my Salamanders Army. I already had two tactical squads, five man sternguard squad and Vulcan himself.

For my first 500 points I decided to add some fire support to my list with the addition of a squad of Centurions and a landraider redeemer!


I originally went with a purple colour scheme but after some thought and a few pointers in the right direction, opted to revert to the proper Salamander colours.

I plan on using the tale of gamers to add 500 points of Salamanders to complement what I have or to fill a gap in my legion.

Well that's it for now back to painting my redeemer

Imperial guard i mean astra militarum



Here is my first 500points and 3 objectives. still require to finish touching up my stormlords heavy bolter and paint my 3 objectives. 

choosing to bring a stormlord for the laugh of having a LoW and give people the chance to kill it, or out wit it. :)








Old One Eye rises again!

With this months challenge coming to completion this Sunday I am sure some frantic painting is going on among the participants.

After realising my Stompa army was not really practical for what we are trying to achieve and with longing looks at Matt's Tyranids I decided to pick up the Tyranid Swarm Box and make my first 500pts out of it.

Below is my first Hormagaunt done to 3 colours for the start of the challenge and also one of my objective markers. Matt suggested last night the shapes around the base should look like worms so I gave it a go.


Turned to the dark side, again!...


So, the call of Chaos has become too strong and i could resist no longer, basically i always wanted the Helldrake and Forgefiend models since becoming interested in 40k a few months ago and now i have two... of each!!!

My Chaos Space Marine 1500 list has been bought and modelled ( yeah i kind of steamed in ) so now its a matter of getting them all painted, so entering the 'Tale of gamers' should be good for me.

The Black Legion is the colour scheme im going for and my list consists of ;

Terminator Lord
5 man Terminator sqaud
10 man Chaos Marine squad
10 man Chaos Marine squad
2 Forgefiends
2 Helldrakes
Aegis Defensive Line with Comms Relay

Here goes...
