After several months of dedicated work, my new Warhammer 40K Adeptus Custodes army is finally coming together! True Scale Adeptus Custodes – A Necessary Conversion A significant part of this project involved converting all Custodes models to True Scale, making them a head taller than a Space Marine. One issue I’ve always had with the standard models is their size—far too small! According to the lore, Adeptus Custodes are taller than Space Marines and much larger than normal humans. However, the official Games Workshop miniatures don’t reflect this, especially due to their short legs. To fix this, I decided to scale my Custodes properly by lengthening each model: 3mm between foot and knee 2-3mm between knee and hip Total height increase: 5-6mm Now, they truly look like the towering golden warriors they are meant to be! Painting the Adeptus Custodes – The Power of Gold I had an absolute blast painting this elite force, especially using the Gold Pigment from Greenstuffworld. The metallic...

Painting the Horus Heresy Diorama – A Legendary Showdown Today, I'm thrilled to share a monumental project that merges both passions: the painting of the iconic Horus Heresy diorama, capturing the climactic showdown between the Emperor of Mankind and his traitorous Warmaster, Horus Lupercal. Additionally, I'll reflect on my three-year odyssey through the 66-book Horus Heresy series, and outline my reading journey as I venture deeper into the Warhammer 40K timeline. The Artistic Challenge – Bringing the Emperor vs. Horus to Life The Horus Heresy is one of the most pivotal and dramatic moments in Warhammer lore. It culminates in the final battle aboard the Vengeful Spirit, where the Emperor confronts Horus in a desperate bid to save humanity. This diorama, inspired by Adrian Smith’s haunting black-and-white artwork, captures that intense moment when Sanguinius, the noble Primarch of the Blood Angels, lies slain at their feet. Taking on this diorama was both a dream and a challeng...

Even though nothing has been posted here for a while, I have not been idle. Over the past few months, I’ve completed my Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies, such as Soulblight Gravelords and Sylvaneth, and have fully focused on expanding my beloved and so far only Warhammer 40K army – the Tyranids. Expanding the Knochenfresser Swarm – A Three-Year Project My goal is to finish my Tyranid Swarm 'Knochenfresser' this year, completing a project that has been in progress for three years. The Tyranids were my first Warhammer 40K army. I was drawn to them by their incredible aesthetics – and this impression has only been reinforced with the 10th Edition Tyranid update, which introduced reworked models and exciting new units. When I started 40K three years ago, I didn’t know much about the lore. The Tyranids were a great beginner army, as their theme of an all-consuming alien force was easy to grasp. The customization aspect has always been my favorite part of the Warhammer hobby, which I ...

2021 has been a very busy year, hobby-wise, personally, as well as on my job. The last post on this blog was written 8 months ago in April due to a lot of life events happening this year, most importantly my daughter growing and discovering the world. Becoming a dad was certainly the most life-changing moment I have experienced and it fills me with so much joy and endless happiness.  At the same time, a baby is very time-consuming and hobby time has been scarce. Still, I’ve managed to paint and build some minis and get some games in with my friends. Tabletop as a hobby still brings me the balance to charge up my batteries from real life and lets me express my creativity in modeling, painting, and writing. Last but not least, I always have a great time with my buddies rolling dice and talking nerd stuff.  Now, let’s take a look at the hobby results! Getting into Warhammer 40.000 and starting a Tyranid army End of 2020 my gaming group where I usually play Warhammer Age of Sigmar...
