Community Spotlight: Dezmords' Harbingers of the storm

Well it looks like the new Grey Knights codex is out. Maybe Necron players are getting closer to a competitive codex release. In this Community Spotlight I want to give props to Dezmords' beautiful Necron army. Hit the jump to see more.

Tyranids Incoming: Preliminary Thoughts, Paint Scheme and Planning Purchases. Bonus: Lots of Useful Links!

I wanted to share with you all some of my thoughts and plans on building my future Tyranid army.  I will be going over some of my general thoughts, a possible paint scheme, how I plan on building my lists, how I plan on playing them, and how I will be buying the army to spend the least amount of money possible on it.  I have also been working on a modeling tutorial that I wanted to have posted by now but it's taking much longer than I had anticipated, so here's something to entertain you until then.

I know I already used this one before but I like it, it's appropriate to the post, and I want to show off my 1337 Photoshop skills of adding text to a picture.  I R guud at Fotoshopz!

Old Stuff Day: Greater Daemon of Nurgle Scratch Build: Featured in SCWH Honor Roll #2 - Green Stuff!

Since the blog is only 2 months old, I was going to have to reach way back to my pre-blogging days to find something appropriate to post.  I've been playing 40k for less than a year and I already posted the oldest thing I've done - my first Black Reach minis.  Then it occurred to me that I had one other project completed that I've been wanting to share this on the blog for a while, and now thanks to Old Stuff Day I have the perfect excuse.  Enjoy.

CSM Squad 1 Complete

Well everybody, I finally finished the first squad of CSM and got around to editing and posting the pictures.  I think I've left you all waiting long enough so without further adieu, here they are posing menacingly on a piece of homemade terrain.

The gang's all here.

Ceanup on aisle your pants.

Long time, no Chaos. Also, a new army!

Hey everybody... if anybody is still here that is.  I want to apologize for my absence from the blog these past few weeks.  Life had gotten pretty crazy on me shortly after my last post and by crazy I mean freaking insane.

Photoshop'd by Chaosheade.  Watch TopGear, it's awesome.

Things have calmed down some since then but then I had a bit of a crisis of faith.  To put it simply, the current CSM codex sucked out all my enthusiasm for the game and the hobby in general.

Magnets! Two Models for the price of one. Pt. 1

 Welcome back to Maximum Heresy. It this 2 part writeup I will assemble a Necron Destroyer Lord using small magnets. The benefit? Two models for the price of one.

Where has the time gone?

Well, it's been longer than I had hoped it would be since my last post.  I blame real life for getting in the way and making things all busy and hectic and stressful and all that fun stuff.  Of course I have also been distracted by another great article on cheap carrying cases which can be found both here and here.  I even contributed a little bit.  

As you may have noticed, I did a little bit of renovation around here, added a few new toys, and generally cleaned things up a bit.  Again, I have Dave G From Wargaming Tradecraft to thank for more excellent information conveniently timed for consumption by fledgling bloggers like myself.

I have been making lots of progress on my painting and am close to finishing the squad that I am working on so expect an update with the finished product within the next couple days.  Here's a little preview of a fully armed and operational death star Chaos Marine.

It's not the best picture because I was trying to get it done in a hurry but I think it works just fine as a teaser.  This is one of the models with the black wash rather than the Devlan Mud substitute but this is basically what the rest of the squad will look like.  All that's left is varnishing basing and neither will take long to complete.  I'll be back soon with more, so stay tuned.  Catch you on the flip side.
