NZ40Kabal- the Doom Legion

Hello everyone and welcome  Time for your regular scheduled chapter update. Over the last few weeks I've been alternating between working on the marines, and working on some models that will hopefully pay for more marines. The first thing I did was spray all the marines I have, so the full chapter so far is together all shiny and chrome: Over 500 marines strong! I've been enjoying playing Dark Angels recently, so the first Doom Legion squad I painted was a squad of terminators and a terminator ancient The last Doom legion unit was the first of the 4th company assault marines, and ancient I have got a good idea how to build banners for units without them, so once I get the parts and have a play around I'll share.  Around the Doom Legion, I have painted up a few single minis for sale. The death cult assassins and Coteaz have both sold, which has given me money for some parts, and the necromancer and khorn...

Happy Easter everyone I've mentioned a few time over the last 8 weeks or so that I was awaiting an order of 3d printed parts. After much anticipation they turned up last week, so I thought I would do a bonus post to talk about them.  Why 3D? Resin 3d printing has opened up a number of different options for modelers around the world. It allows for easy customization of minis, spare or out of print parts, and even unique figure customization. Buying a printer is an option but be aware that it's almost a hobby in itself to learn how to use it. It also requires special resins, which can give off gasses, so you need some special space to do it. Thos makes it a difficult option for some. I have a makerbot at home, but it is filament, which makes it suitable for terrain but not really minis. To help out I reached out to a friend of mine in Oz who has a 3d printing business.  3d for hire. This is a good option if you want to take advantage of 3d printing, but don't have the time or...

Welcome back everyone  It's been a busy few weeks, and this time I was really feeling the budget strain. If you have been reading along from the old site, youay know my original budget was only $100 a month. I have been able to push that a little by sacrificing other things like coffee, but I've been basically able to make one large purchase every other month, and a couple of smaller ones. This month, I had my mate Gary reach out and offer me a bunch of models (way more than I had budget for), but I picked up a number of models and committed two months budget.  This got me: 1 storm raven 3 eradicators  6 blade guard 6 aggressors and some parts  3 dev cents Gary also threw in a the lieutenant and captain from the Indomitus box and and thunderfire cannon! Along with this, I will be picking up another lot from Doug as my next lot. I picked up a couple of smaller purchases, another Indomitus captain and 12 terminators.  Whole thos was good progress, I wa...

Hi everyone.  Welcome back! So first things first. This isn't my normal hosting location, and it's been a few weeks. I previously had a squarespace website that had been bought for the podcast by a fan (huge thanks again!), but when time to renew came it was a bit overkill for what it was being used for. So to keep the blog going I have moved to a free hosting location. That issue caused a lack of motivation to write which this delayed the release of this episode!  In the mean time, I have got a fair bit done. Unfortunately my latest orders hadn't arrived, and I'm holding off any more build work until to they do. I did buy a solitary phobos lieutenant, and have committed the next couple of months budget to a friend who is off loading some marines, but more on that when it arrives. I have gone with a squad and a character as my standard batch, which takes between 2 and 4 sessions. This also allows to move quickly between different models to keep life interesting with wha...
