Warzone: Resurrection KS Wave 2 arrived today!

Awesome news guys, my much awaited wave 2 of missing cards, miniatures, parts etc. finally arrived today. Oh the joy you can get from little plastic soldiers, it's crazy!

Some facts then.


  • The resin is much better now and the details are much better, almost wished more of my stuff was in wave 2 :P
  • Prodos are very generous, If I said I had some parts missing or was misshaped they didn't even asked for pics I got replacements anyway.
  • And as a follow up for the above... some models I even got complete whole new models and not just the part which was defect.
  • Love all the stuff and I'm so glad I participated in this Kickstarter.
  • One negative, I did not get all the ten Armoured Chasseur heads which was missing, just five of them.
  • Still.... that was all. Everything else was there and as you can see there where plenty of stuff so I'm not complaining at all about this. 
  • Big thanks to Prodos Games for a great KS and love the way you are going forwards promoting the game and making more lovely miniatures for this awesome setting of Mutant Chronicles.

WIP Wednesday: Deadzone Battlezone Watchtower/Outpost

A little unusual WIP photo this time as I don't paint much terrain or buildings. I need to however and I have plenty of building materials from my Deadzone Kickstarter so here's some WIP:s of the first building I have built and started to paint.


Did a camo paint job here with my airbrush, I will use this mostly for my Warzone games and on my Venusian Jungle board I'm building so this camo looks really nice and fitting for that setting, as well as working for any future Deadzone games. 



I actually glued this building together even if you don't need to. It's to make it hold better and I want to keep this building as it looks anyway. I did want to have the option to play inside it as well so I magnetized one wall for easy taking it on and off. That's all for now, just some weathering and stuff and this building is finished.

Tutorial: To paint worn and rusted metal (Easy)

Here's an very easy tip on how I make really worn out and rusty objects. I this case we have an barrel/oildrum from the GW Battlefield Accessories Set


It is first primed black and then painted with Warpaints Gun Metal, leave some black in the recesses. 



Then I applied a lot of Kromlech's Orange Rust (KRMA006) Weathering Powder, I applied it together with Citadel Lahmian Medium.  I focused around the recesses and where rust usually are. 


I then dry brush with Citadel Necron Compound. 


Sorry for this last pic, it got to bright for some reason so don't really show how the final result really looks. But the last step is to wash the whole thing with Citadel Typhus Corrosion (A Technical paint that really has progressed into being one of my favorite paints as of late), I wiped some of it off in the middle to get a more uneven look.

That is all, really easy to do and you can do other variants as well with adding more Typhus Corrosion or another kind of wash. You can also do another highlight if you want but I went with this fairly simple method and I hope some of you might find it useful.

Miniature Monday: Mordheim Riekland Captain

I'm dabble with Mordheim from time to time, haven't played it in like ten years or so but really want to try it out again. Anyway, I have a lot of nice Mordheim miniatures which I'm considering was the golden age of Game Workshop produced games and miniatures. So expect some more Mordheim in the future.

This model however is a count as Riekland captain and is painted as an Ostermark captain. Always thought it was odd that Ostermark didn't get any warband considering that Mordheim actually was the former capital city of Ostermark. Don't know if the Riekland rules makes most sense but I went that route because I already had some miniatures painted which I bought from eBay.

This is such a miniature, painted up really nice as well so I didn't want to change it up to much. Repainted the cloak to Ostermark colors from Stirland, redid the metals, the shield and added some highlights and changed the base to make it work with my Empire army which I may have him in at some point. 

Happy with him in the end, a lot of character in the actual sculpt which I think we had in most of the old Mordheim sculpts. Anyway that is all for now, hopefully I will bring you more Mordheim stuff in the future.

News: Space Hulk: Deathwing for Ps4

For those not familiar with the game, Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter experience of Games Workshop's classic Space Hulk board game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Space Hulk: Deathwing offers players the chance to experience a desperate battle against Genestealers in the claustrophobic tunnels of a Space Hulk, as they gain skills, new abilities, and new equipment thanks to experience earned during perilous missions.

You'll take on the role of a Space Marine from one of the most secret and most feared Space Marine Companies: the Deathwing from the Dark Angels. Strap on your Terminator armor and equip the emblematic weaponry of the Space Marines to overcome the threats awaiting you in the Space Hulk. As a Librarian, you will also master the destructive powers of the Psykers. Your skills and performance in battle grant you Fervor Points, to spend on 4 skill trees allowing you to improve your abilities, unlock new powers, access powerful relics, and devastating new weapons.



Awesome I say and looks really nice so far, will most certainly buy when it'a released and I'm glad that I already have an Ps4. Best of all is that you are an Dark Angel and no Ultra Smurf.

Imperial: Trenchers Squad 1 finished!

I have almost full focus right now on painting up most of my Imperial force before everything else on my painting to-do list. And here's what I want to have painted and how my progress is:

Red = Just primed -- Orange = Painting started -- Green = Finished

2 Imperial Commanders
1 Brigadier Rist
5 Trenchers
5 Trenchers
5 Blood Berets
3 Golden Lions
1 Hurricane Walker
1 Greyhound Tankette

As you can see, not that much left. Sure after this I have another five Blood Berets, three Golden Lions, one Greyhound and two Imperial Doomtroopers to complete everything of my Imperial but I think with the above I have a decent painted starting force which I can play with (just might need to convert a Blood Beret custom hero or two though).

After all I have plenty of other things to paint up as well and after these are finished I will paint up some Warhammer models again, and probably WoC or Empire. I also want to paint up my Malifaux models as well as my other Warzone forces, so much to do and so little time. Oh well here's the pictures of my latest finished models, the Imperial Trenchers, really lovely models and so iconic for the Mutant Chronicles universe.

WIP Wednesday: Chaos trolls and Forsaken

Just as the Miniature Monday posts I try do to every Monday I will also try to do these showing some WIP photos of the stuff I'm working on at the moment.

Today It's some Warriors of Chaos models. I have come up with how I will paint my Forsaken and it will be a fairly common color scheme there, and with red torsos because I will usually use them as Khorne. However I want to use them as any mark really so I go with this Undivided look.

For the trolls I keep on my blue/grey theme but I painted these up using my Airbrush, which I really do need to practice on and these models are really nice to do that. Quite happy with how they look now but will add a lot of washes and highlights before these are done and hopefully they will look just as good as the ones I have painted previously.

So that's it for it today, now back to watch some Football and paint some models.
