The 22nd Gryphonne Rifles The battle is over, but the war rages on. Our drums of war will pound forever, until our enemies are no more...   - Commander Kearns, Commander Senioris Aeternum, the 22nd Gryphonne Rifles.   Introduction In this article I want to discuss my attempt at a custom Imperial Guard regiment. A lot of people have these so I'm not breaking new ground here, but I really wanted to tie my Adeptus Titanicus War Griffons into a 40K army somehow. Enter my own custom Imperial Guard regiment, the 22nd Gryphonne Rifles. First I'll throw some fluff around about them, introduce their uniforms, and give a bit of a breakdown on how I came up with the colour scheme based on the fluff. Enjoy! Background The 22nd Gryphonne Rifles are an Imperial Guard regiment borne of the former Forge World of Gryphonne IV. During the first battle of Paramar IV the Legio Gryphonicus were deployed to defend the Loyalist planet of Paramar. The Titans faced swathes of Dark Mec...

Building and priming your AT: Imperial Knights Introduction In this blog post I'd like to discuss some tips and tricks I've come across when building and priming my Imperial Knights. Here are the first 3 I painted! Sub Assemblies and Priming I've built and painted 3 AT: Imperial knights and I'm working on my next 3 for House Griffith. Having followed the Warhammer TV tip on assembling and priming them, I wasn't too happy with it. In the WHTV video they assembled the body of the knight and glued on the weapon arms while leaving the top carapace off for priming. When it came around to painting them, I found I couldn't get the brush into the areas I really wanted to make sure were painted, mainly the areas between the weapon arms and the body of the knight. Below is a work in progress shot of my next 3 House Griffith knights. As you can see I've left the weapon arms off and the carapace off. I recommend the following method for building ...

Introduction Hey all, Welcome to my first post and first review on this blog of mine. I want to start doing some reviews of things that have helped me along the hobby path; so I'll do a few reviews and tips and tricks along the way! Note: I bought all these paints myself and I'm just giving my honest opinion of my experiences with them. The purpose of this post is to review the Instar range of Paints(well single paint for this one) and their Water+ line of medium. One of the reasons Instar came to my attention was their range of Vintage colours. Anyone who has been in the Warhammer hobby for this long knows that GW have changed their paint line a few times over the years with many vintage colours being pushed into the mists of time! The good people at Instar saw a market for hobbyists that wanted to keep their army colours consistent. Many hobbyists have built armies over decades and the need for consistent and reliable paint is key. For this review I'll review...
