First Game with Slaughterhousers and Targ

"What a mess!"

Played a game of Warmachine/Hordes after some months only playing Firestorm Armada. I wanted to test my Slaughterhousers and Targ which haven’t been on the battlefield before. The Slaughterhousers were an epic fail, dying in the first two rounds by massive Cryx spells and shooting and doing nothing else. Targ was ...

Another Papercraft Building

Just finished another of the great papercraft buildings by Dave Graffam. This is the West Gate. It was great fun to build and the quality is superb, like the two other buildings I tried before. Here are two pics of the building (second one after clicking “view full post” below) with some ...

Full Metal Ivan – Part 5: Closer to the Colour Scheme

Another update of my progress on the full metal Black Ivan. Not as much progress as I would like to have. Christmas events have been stealing a lot of time recently. I hope painting progress will be faster next year. At least I’m getting closer to the final colour scheme.

Full Metal Ivan – Size Comparison

Based on the comments of my last post, I’ve made a comparison shot of the full metal Black Ivan and the Khador plastic heavy. The classic chassis is a lot smaller but looks quite sturdy.

Full Metal Ivan – Part 2

Assembly finished! I like it so far. Looks a little like the proportions are wrong with the big fist. But this lies an extra emphasis on its special fist, so it’s fine. I went with minimal manipulation of the classic Destroyer chassis (minimal sawing, no Green Stuff/putty). The additional pieces fit fine.

Project: Full Metal Ivan

After a summer break that’s been much longer than intended I’m back at my desk for some miniature projects. Here is one of them: “Full Metal Ivan”.

As I’m one of the few persons not that happy with the look of the Khador plastic ‘jack kit, I plan to build Black Ivan with the bulkier classic ...
