Crimson Fists Landspeeder Typhoon
Crimson Fists have been the posterboys of Warhammer 40k, long before the Ultramarines took over their place. It was the mass of miniatures in MK6 ‘beaky’ armor, that sparked the idea with me to build a small, around 1000 points strong Crimson Fists force. Just enough to be able to play along someone else in a joined forces match. I painted the first squad of five, then another. Adding also the classic Rogue Trader style markings to the seargents. A self-printed dreadnought came next, and then I was thinking of what my army should look like. I wanted it to be a fast moving strike force, the tip of the…

Sega Mega Drive in HD – The Analogue Mega Sg
When it comes to gaming, there are basically two different types of player – the computer gamer and the video console gamer. I had never been a real console-guy, my first computer has been a Schneider (Amstrad) CPC464, followed by a Commodore C64 and Commodore Amiga, before I went into the world of PC computers. Somewhere between the Amiga or shortly after, I had bought a Super Nintendo, but I never went further than the one game I had bought with it – F-Zero. The SNES was sold at a certain point (which I totall regret today) and a silver Gameboy Pocket found it´s way into my home after that.…

Iron Warriors Oldhammer Project – Lots of Images
This is all old stuff. I started to play tabeltop with Battletech in the early 90’s. When I came across the first Warhammer 40K edition – Rogue Trader, I was all in. The first four miniatures I had bought where 4 Eldar Fire Dragons, which I painted like my first Battletech miniatures with Revell enamel paint from my other hobby – plastic airplane kits. Though started with Eldar it went Space Marines and then Imperial Army next. With Chaos Space Marines being the last games I played somewhere in the early 2000s, pausing my Warhammer 40K hobby with end of the 3rd edition. It was not until in 2021, when…

Venerable Krator Battle Tank
As I saw this tank being announced by Games Workshop, I was all in for it. Being visually close to the Glaive/Fellblade, which is still the tank I love to own, and also reasonably affordable, it was an instant buy for me. Looking through Google image search on how other painter have done their Kratos tank Sons of Horus scheme, I decided to stick with what I had seen being done for a Fellblade. Body sea-green, turret all black. First I did the model like I usually do all my models – looking like a GW boxart, fresh from the manufactorium. However for the Kratos tank I got inspired by…

Iron Warriors Havoc with Heavy Bolter
This miniature from my collection has been bought by me in the late 90’s. It had served in my Night Lords chaos army and was then hidden at least twenty years in a Citadel miniature case. Designed by Aly Morrison and released from Games Workshop in their 1997 catalogue, this small miniature comes with some serious weight. Like many of the second edition miniatures it is cast from metal and comes as a four pieces kit, that needed assembly. As part of my #oldhammer40k project, I was all in to give this guy a new paintshop in the livery of Iron Warriors – the chapter I have chosen for my…

Chaos Terminator Reborn
Changing colors. The more I digged into the Horus Heresy and Warhammer 30k miniature wargaming, the more the Iron Warriors paint scheme grew on me. I had played chaos space marines, when I started the hobby and I had painted them in midnight clad. The Iron Warrior pictures from the old codex did not really appeal to me and I found their scheme being mainly metallic and the distinctive yellow-black stripes more on the boring side. Now, nearly 30 years later, I decided to repaint my old metal miniatures and I choose the Iron Warriors paint scheme, much the opposite of what I liked 30 years ago. It had grown…
