A good month to be pre-Heresy!

August has seen, quite literally, a pre-heresy explosion from several companies, including Games Workshop itself.

From Forgeworld, releases of most marks of armour heralded a whole new invasion of player armies and has been welcomed by the pre-Heresy community very positively. Crafting your power armour will no longer be such a time-consuming task, but costly to your wallet instead!

Hot stuff – Painting the Storm Raven

The red blob known as my Storm Hawk finally got some treatment this weekend.

I've trawled the Internets for guides or examples of heat damage for aircraft with no joy. NASA craft are built in such a way (and expense) that atmospheric re-entry does not leave them in the mess that I intend to portray with my bird.

Crusade-era Iron Hands

Seduced by the Omnissiah, my next pre-Heresy project has been long planned as Iron Hands. With the recent release of Forgeworld armour, my weak flesh succumbed and I had to make a few prototype models.

I am combining a lot of kits for these marines. The core models will be MkII and MkIII kits from Forgeworld, combined with some Death Guard and Iron Hands parts. I want a predominantly MkII feel to the army, but won't be breaking my wallet by fielding everything from Forgeworld!

Mortis Skitarii

At the core of my Dark Mechanicum army stand the Skitarii Hypasposts. Armed with Hellguns and carapace armour, they're as hard as Imperial veterans, but take less risks getting into battle - arriving behind enemy lines from their Termites.
