Hobby Update: Ultramarines Invictus Warsuits painted!

Two hobby updates in one week? What is going on? Is Prot unemployed? Is he on a drinking and painting binge? Perhaps both…. Today I bring you one of the units people hopped all over on the NuMarines realease 2.0, the Invictus Warsuit. While a lot of people thing this is an amazing unit, and some are taking 3, I’m

A Prot Quick n’ Dirty Battle Report: Ultramarines vs. Death Guard 2000 Pts.

Old School versus New School So far the Ultramarines have had a tremendous amount of success since the codex came out. That being said I’ve had very little chance to play some of my more unfavourable matchups: Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, etc. On the other hand a lot of wins have come from tough match ups like Necrons (anti infantry),

Trying Old and New Things with Ultramarines 2.0

Things have been going really well with the new codex. But there’s been one elephant in the room…. well actually 2 of them: The Repulsor and Repulsor Executioner. Every list previous to the 2.0 update to my Ultramarines have included 3 of these. With the update I’ve gone down to 1 of each variant. At first I was quite peeved

New 8th Edition Space Marines have Landed: We’re Feeling out the Strange, New Meta!

Excuse me it’s been a while since I did a battle report but I soon discovered with the new codex that… there’s a lot to discover!

Please keep in mind as of this game the Codex was NOT available and I

Deathwatch Codex Revealed! A Walk Down Memory Lane and My Collection

Oh it’s been a long, long time. I will never forget the fevered anticipation of the Deathwatch codex I had, as well as my fellow hobbiests and players at the Bolter and Chainsword forums. Then the disappointment as the clunky mechanics, and seemingly rushed rules came to fruition. Soon there was hardly a Deathwatch player to be found. The competitive

Prot’s Painted Armiger Showcase Video

  In the spirit of 40K, I did a little homage to the painted Armigers on youtube, and want to have it here for reference. I think it’s safe to say most of us can’t wait to see what the actual, full Imperial Knight Codex gives us!

How to Get Your Armiger Warglaive Knights Ready for Battle… Quickly

I’m going to dive right into this because more than a few people have asked how I got these up and running so quickly and if I got any sleep! So I’m going to show you how I got these up and running quickly, but still kept them in a state where I can add more detail, battle damage, weathering,

Armiger Warglaive Knights Completed Models: Going up for Sale.

Well that pretty much says it all. I worked really hard to get these guys done with magnetization and good flexibility. I set these guys up to be sold in pairs. The problem is I really want to keep them! The more I painted them, the more I just wanted to hold on to them. I kept the paint scheme

Adeptus Custodes Easy Airbrush Tutorial

This article is in response to questions I had about doing the gold colours on my Adeptus Custodes. I should warn you that although this is my methodology for ‘airbrushing’ gold, it is very easy, but time consuming because of the steps. Dry brushing gold on top of primer is always going to be easier than the steps that this
