Original Entry: 13th of September, 2026 So this year seems to be the year of new projects. In part, and rather ironically, that’s down to losing my job several months ago. I could probably write an entire blog post about how ruined the job market is, but suffice to say I’m back in employment now. What the last few months have done, however, is give me an excuse to dig through my garage and surface various ideas and models I’d collected but never actually got around to finishi

Original Entry: 7th of September 2026 I have to admit, I never gave the Lord of the Rings tabletop game much attention over the years. Despite being there over 3,000 years ago and watching the films in the cinema in my middle teens, when the game came out it always seemed like the poor man's version of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Which, ultimately, was very unfair of me. Then a couple of years later, at the time of working for Games Workshop Watford, I became tired of running c

Original Entry - 3rd of September 2026 So, with a heavy heart and a bank balance that doesn’t quite match my ambition, I’ve decided to start a new Imperial Guard army and shelve my old Vostroyans. Before diving into this new adventure, I wanted to share some thoughts on the Vostroyans and what ultimately led to me losing interest in them. Firstly, they’re a fantastic-looking army (the models rather than egotistically bragging about my own collection), and that was a huge part

I had toyed with the idea of some Tzeentchian 40k army but the more I looked into Sphinxes in the Fantasy Battle universe (or rather the lack of them), the more I released what these custodians of time could represent. A rewind and reset of the End Times.

Welcome to my long-running Warhammer 40,000 homebrew project: the Chevaliers. Inspired by the heraldry, pageantry and knightly traditions of Bretonnia from Warhammer Fantasy, the Chevaliers are an Ultima Founding Space Marine Chapter descended from the Imperial Fists. While they fight with all the weapons and technology expected of the Adeptus Astartes, they have never abandoned the customs of their medieval home world. Every battle-brother bears his own heraldry, every compa

I'd like to take the time to walk you through my collection of Vostroyan Firstborn. The Vostroyan Firstborn refers to regiments of Imperial Guard raised from the world of Vostroya within the 40k universe. The regiments of Vostroya are raised from the planet's firstborn children, with those from the poorer families making up line infantry and children from richer noble families becoming officers. The second and third born from this world are tasked with production of the tanks
