Legion Cataphractii squad
Line troops maybe super important as scoring units, but there’s still no substitute for a squad or two of tactical dreadnought armoured elites
Legion Vindicator
Since the new version of Age of Darkness was launched, I’ve been lavishing lots of attention on my seventeenth legion ‘Word Bearers’ forces.
Iron Plate Pact
The ‘Iron Plate Pact’ are the first gang I’ve assembled and painted since the games re-launch. Which is a bit strange now I think about it as I have always been an avid fan of Necromunda’s diverse and eclectic melting pot background for all things Warhammer.
Adepticon preview reflections
Necromunda is probably one of my all-time favourite Games Workshop games. And yet even though I own a copy of the re-launched boxed
Eddie the robot
If you were to smash together the terms “retro sci-fi” and “adorable robots” I’m pretty sure what you would end up with is
Manibus Ignum
A final delve into Solaria, for now at least with the Reaver class engine “Manibus Ignum”.
Imperatores Venandi
Legio Solaria Warlord and the anchor in my ‘mandatum’ maniple is “Imperatores Venandi”. This model was an absolute joy to put together, even
Canis Hastam
Out of all four Warhound Titans I painted in Solaria colours, “Canis Hastam” was probably my favourite. Who doesn’t love tiny Rhinos?
Sola Bestia
The Solaria ‘Warhound’ train keeps on rolling with “Sola Bestia”, Princeps Majoris and hunt leader of the Imperial Hunters maniple
Deum Lucis
Legio Solaria Warhound “Deum Lucis” was the second of the pair of warhounds I started the battlegroup with
Venator Eius Gloriosum
I started “Eius Gloriosum” well over a year ago when I was testing out the palette for Solaria
Solaria re-visited
What a week it’s been! After what feels like an eternity I finally completed my second legio maniple and just in time
In the forges
Super weekend of hobby goodness if I say so myself. Managed to make another good chunk of progress on the Blood Angels Gladiator. With the red done
Creating miniature art and misadventure since the eighties
Hi, I’m Carl. Long term Warhammer collector, hobbyist and painter. Welcome to my corner of the hobby-verse and miniature painting diary. Although predominantly based on Games Workshop’s Horus Heresy and Specialist Games systems, posts are frequently inspired by all-corners of a vast and immersive hobby. In this blog I discuss collecting, building, painting and even on occasions narrative gaming based on my own experiences over the past four decades.
Whether you are new to miniature painting or a veteran of many campaigns, I hope you find something that interests or inspires you in your own journey.

Well played Necromunda well played again. The new Promethium tanks kit doesn’t disappoint in the number ways it can be integrated with other kits. Going to have so much fun finding cool ways to use these in the hive and out in the ash wastes.
Get in! What a nice bit of news this is. Hopefully a sign of other potential Sicaran variants making the jump to full plastic. Awesome!
Buy this and a sicaran and you have a sicaran a whirlwind and an arcus 😉
Slightly different to my normal hobby posts today. Over thirty years back this was the kit I was using in another life. Although I’ve long since changed careers, I dug these out to see what I can repurpose. There are more, even older but this one was my workhorse and survived some genuinely harsh outdoor conditions without missing a beat or ever letting me down.
