Urdeshi pattern AFVs

I’ve finally gotten around to painting up most of the IFV variants I converted up for my PDF and renegades. These tanks are made by a combination of Old Crow tanks and turrets, ramshackle games tracks, plasticard and various other bits. Still missing are the “allegiance” bits, which will be magnetized to allow them to […]

Super Heavy reinforcement

I just got a second hand Mortian super heavy tank. It was pretty badly smashed up, but with some TLC, it is now looking pretty good. It did not come with any sponsons, but I had some spares from some other Mortian tanks I’ve bought, so with some light conversion work, the big girl has […]

Battle for Vogen 09 – drop troopers

With the rebel vanguard delayed, the planetary defence forces managed to stabilise the front line in the 7th district. The prepared defensive position discouraged rebel attempts to push further into the city. There were still fighting raging elsewhere, with stranded PDF units further out being picked off, or rebels terrorising and infiltrating the central districts.

Taking on the pile of shame – batch painting 110 minis at once

I recently stumbled over the WGA the damned kickstarter, and with some recent ideas about trying out imperialis militia in horus heresy, I couldn’t hold back pledging for a 3 box set. With this additional 100+ minis coming in at some point, I looked at my box of primed renegade infantry and got motivated to […]

Battle for Vogen 08 – Rearguard

After pushing through the chaos of District 13, the remnants of Jeager and Captain Scheider’s men had managed to link up with other PDF forces. Now about regiment strength, they were suborned to a Major Steinvik, the highest ranking officer of the motley group. Communications with HQ had been somewhat reinstated, and the group had been designated as Battlegroup Steinvik, with orders to regroup and hold District 7.

10th edition 40k – first impression

40k has been my long lived main passion in the miniature worlds. I got into it in 3rd edition, and played actively until 7th, which IMO was kind of a train-wreck of a rule-set, which sapped my will to play 40k. Then I got a kid, and stayed out of 8th. At the tail-end of […]

Building vogen City – 02

Of the land-dwelling inhabitants of Khai-Zhan, most serve as menials in the massive industrial districts of Vogen and Ashshore, working for one of the powerful family cartels. The life of a menial is a monotonous routine of twelve hour shifts serving as a tiny cog in a massive, rusty and brutal machine. Like so many […]

Battle for vogen 07 – into Ashshore

They split up in smaller groups and passed through several districts with only minor firefights. Most of the rebels seemed content on looting and pillaging in the anarchy left by leaderless PDF forces, moving about in smaller groups. Entering manufactorium district 9 however, rebel resistance increased. Scouts reported that PDF stores of weapons, fuel and ammunition were being raided by insurgent forces. Jeager radioed all groups to prepare for battle

Urdeshi AT83 Brigand

The Urdeshi AT83 super tank was the main battle tank of the Khai-Zhan PDF, and saw heavy action on both sides of the conflict

PDF armoured fighting vehicles

When I got my transport trucks from Old Crow, I also took the opportunity to buy a bunch of the other tanks, as I enjoy their designs. However, while the trucks could be used just fine with some added rivets, the tanks were just way too small. Being more realistic 25mm scaled, their profile was […]
