In The Grim Cheapness of the Future...: Gargant, Pt. 1

http://thegrimcheapness.blogspot.com/2015/05/gargant-pt-1.html

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. Gargant, Pt. 1. So, over on our sister(brother? Marcus has been talking about the history of Ork gargants. In the game. In the fluff. In the studio design notes. And with our annual Memorial Day game coming up, it got me thinking. Plus there’s all this recent talk about new Knights. And Warlord Titans. Matt has a Warlord. Said Warlord, Big Blue, has caused us all much grief on the battlefield. Now, this model’s going to be very b...

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. A quick apology for missing the past two weeks. Real life intrudes at the most inopportune times. I had some rewrites that had to get my attention, and Marcus and I decided it'd be best to push the gargant's big day back to Fourth of July. We want it to look fantastic, after all. In an Orky way. And it's sort of a sci-fi/mystery/thriller with a strong horror element. More or less. And John Dixon ( Phoenix Island. Mira Grant ( Feed.

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. Imperial Knights, Part X. Okay, so. when I left off I’d finished all the cannon elements. But it struck me I hadn’t shown off the assembled cannon. The heavy stubber was the same. The detail pieces gave it enough surface area for the glue to adhere, and the top edge could press up against the base of the battle cannon. Again, held in two directions. It was very, very solid. All four layers if I was building with card? There are three c...

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. Imperial Knights, Part VII. So, it only took a little bit of work, but I managed to salvage and rebuild the toes. Without losing too much time. They're much more solid this way. Now on to the legs. They look complex on the template, but the leg sections are really the same sort of thing I’ve done in the past for gun barrels and towers. To give the cardstock a good curve. Then it came down to another bit of pinching and holding each...

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. Yet Another Really Pathetic Excuse. Soooo legs didn’t get done before Comic-Con. Or since then. They’re still in pieces on a TV tray here in my office. Comic-Con was amazing, as always. And I’ve just been slammed with work since then. Started the new Ex book. Revisions on The Fold. If memory serves, it was around the time that Games Workshop just gave Codex: Assassins. Away for free with White Dwarf. Many, many thanks for your patience.

Fight Fire With Fire: First Signs...

http://relictorschapter.blogspot.com/2013/10/test.html

Fight Fire With Fire. Extremis malis extrema remedia- exitus acta probat- similia similibus curantur. Sunday, October 20, 2013. And, in what is surely a poor marketing decision, my first post will be directing you to my other page, In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. It's all about trying to do things on the cheap in this ever-more-expensive wargaming hobby. And last week I took some scavenged bits from a few lines and put together a Space Marine captain. So you can see how I did all that here. Fire Cla...

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future...: Skull Rock

http://thegrimcheapness.blogspot.com/2011/10/skull-rock.html

In The Grim Cheapness of the Future. Having fun with 40K on a budget. Hey, a quick post for whoever’s interested in cheap scenery. Again, which means your local discount stores probably have a ton of cheap skulls, bones, and other odds and ends that can be used to great effect. For example, check this out. My local 99 Cents Store had a couple dozen skulls like this. A seven-inch skull for a buck! However, I was inspired by a post I’d seen at the Bell of Lost Souls. Honest Disclosure –. Okay, the CD base.

Fight Fire With Fire: Relictors and Helmets

http://relictorschapter.blogspot.com/2013/11/relictors-and-helmets.html

Fight Fire With Fire. Extremis malis extrema remedia- exitus acta probat- similia similibus curantur. Monday, November 11, 2013. Hopefully we can all agree that Warhammer 40,000. Is a fantasy game. Not in the lizard men-and- elves-and-dragons way, but in the sense that it has little grounding in science. It has some of the trappings of sci-fi, but they’re all there to set the mood more than help create a sense of plausibility. Anyway, all that was tickling at the back of my head when I first started asse...
