Thanks for the support, everyone!

I am not doing limos for this force at first, because I'm using Codex: Tyranids to represent the force, specifically so I could play in local tournaments and the...

Update: BROODLORD!

I think about a third of our viewers will recognize GRAMPA!

This is the original patriarch from god knows when. He is used in this army as a broodlord for the large unit of...

BIOVORES!

I have had this in mind for a while, playing both thudd guns and mole mortars for the biovores. In the end, the thudd has the right profile to compete with a modern biovore, so thudd it...

Zoanthrope joins the fray!

Genestealer Cult Magus is a powerful psyker character, so could be a zoanthrope right out of the box. I have three of the little guys, two having a staff and one with...

Glamour shots of the main genestealer unit. These are all space hulk classic models, all cleaned up and mold line removed and whatnot. Basing still simple, not upgraded to the modern scheme due to...

All of the gargoyles were finished up with the same paint scheme, which took a LONG time. Several full days of painting, including one vacation day and one full weekend day. About 20 hours for 19...

After several days of failed experiments and agony over "the right look", I ended up choosing colors and techniques that would be rather difficult to do, but looks very crisp with good complementary...

Here's two more skyfboards for comparison.

Update on Genestealer Cult Gargoyles

I've actually been working my butt off to get ready for the Labor Day tournament. Every spare moment is dedicated to modeling and painting the remaining items...

I use this very product for all of my movement "trays" for my armies. I use tin sheets cut 1x7" and sprayed down with the brown colored stone over a krylon gray metal primer and painters touch...

This is fantastic! I would love to see a unit of these in 28mm

Weekend update: all my base!

I have all bases done up with scrap objects, big rubble (decorative rock), small rubble (kitty litter), and mixed grit sand. Epoxy the scrap and large rocks, then use...

Solid progress this past week, finishing up the models and moving on to the bases.
I finished up the leader, created my "duel" centerpiece, and figured out the basing magnetization and material...

Thanks! Yes, the leader is underway already. I'll be posting tonight or tomorrow if things go well. I don't have any other photos online yet. This contest-for-hybrids was the motivation I needed...

Finished all assembly over the weekend with new weapons, legs, heads, and stands! Up late to get this in before voting. I'll be playing my first game with the new gargoyles this coming weekend! I...

Pin Party!

Lots of pinning was next, plus all the mold line removal. Drilling the butts were easy, plus necks and all the gargoyle holes. This step included taking most of the "angled" gargoyles...

July (first half) update on Genestealer Cult Gargoyle project

The most important next step was to not get complacent with only a handful of models as a minimum fielded unit. Math-hammer says I...

And a nice group shot of all nine in the pack to date.

I have a whole 'nudder box of gargoyles unopened, so I am pretty excited about turning this into a pack of 20. That will allow me to get in...

Hi everyone! Nice little bit of progress getting the heads and the legs on over the weekend. I just want to clarify that I thought the rider and head were a snitch to pin, but apparently those are...

I have made additional progress on the next batch. The pinning is pretty complex, as I have to bend the legs apart for mounting, then pin the rider into a back angle, then pin the head straight into...

Genestealer Cult Gargoyles

Howdy, interwebs!

This is the Rogue Trader Maitreya summer 2013 Warhammer 40k modeling blog-irc-bbs-forum dealie. This summer, I am working on finishing my...

Not according to RAW, but according to one person RAI.

RTM

Flood the board to keep them from landing in valuable locations. Any horde army should have this in spades. Specifically cover the band of movement including straight ahead at 18" and in a large...

Counts as having fired one weapon. Hard to argue with that. It ain't fluff, it's rules. If you fire a weapon, you can't move flat out. Heldrake vector striking counts as having fired a weapon. ...

Just a note that interceptor fire is at the end of the enemy movement phase. You sit back and watch everything, then pick and choose your target for interception.
