Dragging your terrain up to scratch

I have a lot of terrain. Tables after tables worth, however dense. This is before adding in stuff from work. 

I'm currently in the middle of reorganising my domestic terrain range (the tedium of sick leave is setting in), and so I'm shuffling around 26 years' worth of old stuff. 

Looking at this older stuff the painting is ... juvenile ... on most of them, even pieces from a few years ago. Some of the stuff i churned out earlier this year has a minimum level of paint, just enough to get by as painted terrain. Beside this, the trenches that are painted for promo shots looks incongruously well painted. 

I'm reorganising primarily to fit in a table's worth of urban terrain that ive been building and painting over the past year, all of which are built around cheap kits and bits box raids. During the course of building and painting them, I've painted a lot of terrain for show. That difference in detail and standard has carried over to the new kits: where before I'd have primed, base coated, washed, drybrushed, and picked out a few details, now I've built up textures, added puddles and craters and bases. I've also done some work on some of the churn, to use it for set dressing in photos for work. By some work i mean that I've completely repainted them. 

As such, it looks like i may need to spend a few weeks repainting a sea of other terrain, because, currently, it looks at home on the threadbare boards i had, but is glaringly wrong on the well painted tabletop I'm building.

Crossing the Rubicon

There's been a lot of fuss made over the past couple of years about 40k's new Primaris marines, about existing characters being upgraded and the doom of the traditional space marines.  There's some validity to it all, but, something most people forget, or simply don't know, is that a similar change happened almost 30 years ago.  Back in first edition, in Rogue Trader, marines started with profiles barely advanced from the humble Guardsman, with power armour that gave a 4+ save. A 4+ save was a big thing back then, and the other means of getting it - Carapace armour or layers, such as mesh and flak - came with movement penalties and other downsides. Back then, the S4 of the bolter made it an enviable weapon. Marines were a  powerful force. The miniatures, dating from before or around the time that marines became superhuman giants, were small by modern standards, about shoulder height to a modern traditional marine, mostly single-piece (except  for backpack) and wearin...

How to build: Imperial Guard Landspeeder

It's a bank holiday in most of the UK today, but not here in Scotland, where it was 3 weeks ago. It's very hot and very sunny, and most of my neighbours have taken the day off. As such, I'm finding it hard to get motivated. My mind keeps drifting back to Saturday's post on reclaiming the Land Speeder for the Imperial Guard of 40k. The biggest issue, beyond getting the relevant guns (multilaser, lascannon, plasma cannon), is the crew. The majority of surplus crew that collecting Guard produces are designed to be poking their heads out of or standing in tank cupolae. There are 8 that i can think of that aren't: the artillery deck crew from the Accessories sprue/Basilisk, the 2 deck crew from the Hydra/Wyvern, the commander from the Baneblade, who has legs allowing them to be assembled as a separate model, the commander for the Deathstrike/Manticore, the 2 crew in a Taurox and the crew of the Sentinels. The 3 standing models and the squatting one are completely unsui...

Imperial Guard Assault Squads

The idea of the 40k Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum having dedicated assault troops seems ridiculous nowadays. Since 1996, the basic structure for the Guard has been well established as the 10-man rifle sections, 5-man command sections (now 4-man with the officers split off), and 6-man support units. This makes active sense, and has strong real-world parallels: in modern military, few units are armed primarily for hand-to-hand combat, and such has been the case for nearly 300 years.  Despite this, close combat has always been a significant part of 40k. Back in first edition, the game launched with the assumption that ranged combat would be the norm, as can be seen in the early army lists, but, over time, some time around the start of the 1990s, that shifted. Close combat had moved out of the shadows, and the Craftworld Eldar had the cutting edge of this, with Guardian Storm squads (with laspistols and powerswords), and Howling Banshee and Striking Scorpion Aspect warriors.  On ...
