Warhammer 40,000 – Converting the Space Marine Terminators

Last year I showed you the new Space Marine Terminator Squad, in updated scale and Indomitus pattern armour. And those were build with the intention of use in Space Hulk, as written last July as well. As I pointed out, a few options and poses were missing to fulfill all roles needed to play the different campaigns.

As a TLDNR sum up, there is the core game of Space Hulk and further campaigns, making use of the Terminator variant boxed sets for Dark Angels or Space Wolves, and I wanted to re-create this more Codex Astartes compliant with Sons of Dorn, the Imperial Fists. By using the parts from the Terminator Squad plastic kit and further sprues, among others from the Deathwing Assault set, I went on to convert the Terminator miniatures for the weapon load outs, that I would need to cover the extended gaming material.

While could build most of what we need, especially for the Space Hulk core set and Ultramarines campaign from the vanilla Terminator squad, there are still a few poses open.

From the Dark Angels campaign Bringer of Sorrow, we would need the third Terminator with a special weapon, in this case the Plasma Cannon, as we covered the heavy flamer with the multi-part squad and the assault cannon from Leviathan.

Age of Sigmar Warcry – Stormcast Eternals Knight-Vexilor

While the Stormbringer subscription covered some characters for the Stormcast, with still having to be released, it does not cover a bannerman. But this role is so significant, even on skirmish level, that I wanted to add one to my collection.

There are different Knight Vexilor models around, but I like the one from the 2021 3rd edition Age of Sigmar starter set "Dominion". But I don't need the entire box, so I grabbed one from eBay for a few bucks.

Age of Sigmar Stormbringer – Warcry Stormcast Eternals Warband

I haven't updated this in quite some time, at least not written about it and I like to catch up on this. I started buildin a skirmish warband with the Stormcast Eternals from the Stormbringer subscription, mostly for Warcry, but not exclusively.

Anyhow, I was able to get the Stormcasts primed with Army Painter Colour Primer Dragon Red and some further base colours during a bit of mutual hobby time with other Wargaming Daddies. Never painted something red, so this was a novelty for me, but I think it is a great base colour and contrast to the regular golden boys.

Age of Sigmar Warcry – Stormcast Eternals Knight-Incantor Regis Fulbringer

Not everything for the Warcry warband was used from the Stormbringer subscription, some items were sourced differently. For example I picked up Regis Fulbringer with the Getting Started with Age of Sigmar magazine - along time ago around 2018-2020. And then again, after that magazine was sold out, trough the Arena Mortis supplement for Warhammer Underworlds during the Beastgrave season.

January 2025 review

Welcome to 2025 and we're doing a recap on January!

The year started directly with a gaming event, Dino and I went to ScenarioCon in Hackenheim. I managed to play quite a few games, tried out Fallout Wasteland Warfare, a home brew horror game about Jack the Ripper and All That'Z Left.

Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. XVI

With the finished bases packed in the boxes, I went off to the paint meetup last year, and this was my project for inbetween the other things to get either into the mood for painting or as a palette cleanser.

I used 3d printed bits and parts from the Civitas Imperialis ruins set, along with spackle and cork, to finish the bases.

From there I went the regular route, adding the texture paste (used the remainder of the Armageddon Dunes and Armageddon Dust, but from now on using Dark Earth by Vallejo) and let it dry properly.

Adeptus Titanicus – The Dark Mechanicum stalks…

We've covered the Dark Mechanicum units for Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus, and the smaller Stalker Constructs "only" include two of each of the three different constructs, so I went for a second box to boost them up to four per unit.

It was important to me, to swap around the legs and poses as much as possible, to create the most variety from that set. With the Scintillax "Cyclops" Noospheric Stalker and Tenebrax "Archer" Battle Stalker, that wasn't the biggest issue as they have weapons options and that alone prevented them from being a clone army.

Legions Imperialis – Converting the Termite Assault Drills

While covering the Termite Assault Drills last August, I further altered the built and captured it in pictures, but didn't come around earlier to write an article about it. You can stretch the eight models per box by a bit, if you grab a hobby saw.

The Assault Drills breach from the ground or into it, and by that you get the perfect idea to build them that way.

Age of Sigmar Stormbringer Magazine 50 to 55

We have reached the 10th shipment of the German Stormbringer Magazine by Hachette, not only covering the issues 50 to 55, but the third premium add-on as well. Due to the split of the last shipment, some of you might get two boxes filled with miniatures within only 10 days. That is something!

With this set of six issues, we receive mostly paints and character models, but let us take a closer look.

Deth Wizards – Necromancy!

After setting the tone for Deth Wizards in the last article, I started collecting the pieces and fitting bases from the drawers and boxes, and went for all round bases, as I want to use them with my other fantasy miniatures, like the Beastmen. With the more heroic characters on 32mm round bases and the regular rank and files Johnny Undies on 25mm round bases.

As the spirit hosts don't have slots and were intended to be put upon 40mm squares with multiple miniatures, but we're going for single bases. As their pins provide a strong connection to the base, I simply drilled through the casting spot on the base.
