From the Master of the Forge

Shoulders have been removed and reconnected with magnets for arm swap capability. Torquer sawed off the gun barrel and flipped it over.

A gathering of allies

So I have recently procured 2 additional knights. Both built before the new codex. The master of the forge(read: the wife) has begun the refit of these grand additions to my now formidable knight forces.
I will update the progress of the undertaking at each step

Not much to do mod wise on the green fellow. Need to get the pads off. Then arm swap out is a snap.

This fellow needs a little more love. The melta  cannon is upside-down. Again, also removing shoulders.

Podcasting and other communications from the Holy Terra!

Greetings Battle Brothers,

This has been a crazy week for me. I am starting ramp up my posting. It has been worth it. I am getting lots of good feedback. I am also starting up 2 podcasts. Segmentum Command, a show I am doing with Grumpy Guardsman, is about Imperial forces in general and our mathhammer goodness. Litanies of the Chaplain, or LoC, is my podcast to try to help the SM players out their get back into the habit of loving the game. Especially our beloved Space Marines.

Segmentum Command- Editing is complete and should be up tonight.

LoC- It is in the can. Editing should be tonight or tomorrow. 

Show schedules are looking like:

Segementum Command- Bi Weekly

LoC- Out on Friday nights.

As always I am open to input. If you would like to take part in either show, drop me a line in the comments or use the contact on my page. I have discovered its actually very easy to do remote inclusion and would love to have outside voices involved. If you have ever wanted to take part in podcasting, now is your chance! I will love to get to other voices from around the world of 40k to take part!

ATSKNF,

Imperial Knight Fluff and stuff

-Have a knight constructed? Check!
-Really cool paint scheme? Check!
-Great army tactic ideas? Check!
-Fluffy background stuff to add to the immersive storytelling element? Well not really but I got a great paint job!
This is where you guys come in. I am going to create a custom household and I want it to be a community effort. Anything you guys want to contribute. Chime in! Got a name idea, story element, names of individual knights. As long as its appropriate to the game world I will work in to an ongoing story, I will be doing the same with my 5th company UM's. Once I finish this project.

I want to see if the community can create some good material we can all use!
So let start out with some House name ideas. Throw out as many ideas as come to mind. I will do my best to respond immediately to ideas for this project to finish it in the next week.

The Techmarine has delivered.

So here it is. We are still working on the fluff. The wife really put in the hours on the details. She magnetized the guns and shoulder armor. I really only did the metallic paints along with the shading. Still have some detail highlights to do. I also did the airbrush work on the general paint scheme. Masking tape is your friend!

Checkout the eyes!

I am really happy with how it turned out. We are already creating a Household. The general idea is a house that is friendly toward quite few space marine chapters. We actually stayed away from any of the major chapter colors. Note even the white we used is a more towards a parchment color. With the wife running SW and me primarily run UM, and kicking around the idea of White Scars/Redhunters, This house can run with any of them. I am going to have my community help with the fluff of the house. Stay tuned, I will be doing that post later today!

The size and shape of the base makes for easy basing. We used a piece of gaming mat for ours.

I also had the weekend to review the codex. I purchased the iPad version. I am not an apple guy myself. But I own upwards of 8 of the interactive books. They are a snap to use. The codex is quite beautiful. It really helped with out painting the model and with house ideas. It also includes everything you need to know on how to play with super heavies. Very nice as I didn't want to buy escalation. All-in-all, a very well done product. I will be going in to that in a later post. I promised the wife to wait on it, she really wants to be a part of it!

It looks daunting, but construction is a snap. I really love all of the details that went into this models design.

I also started work on the Segmentum Command podcast with Grumpy Guardsman and crew. It was a lot of fun. We will have to keep our alcohol to a minimum. I would like to thank my friend Grumpy guardsman and his house for all the help in the construction of the model, and the time on the podcast. The wife and I are eternally grateful. I am also grateful to the wife for her patients with me. As you will learn in time, I am a player of the game. I like the models, but have have little patients for painting and the like. So to her I say,I truly am the luckiest man alive!

Well now that it is out in the wild, I best get busy writing more post. I promise to keep my worship of my master of the forge(wife) to a minimum!

ATSKNF,

Torquer

Exciting projects

So after a fun weekend with Grumpy Guardsman, his Wife and his Brother. The wife and I are going to be working on a podcast, with those good people. Really excited to see how this turns out. Also on the modeling front, I have started building my Imperial Knight. I will be doing a report on that after I consult the Master of the Forge(READ-wife). I would like to also add a huge thank you to my friend Grumpy for inspiring me to get off my butt and get back on my Blog, and my Wife for helping me get my blog ship shape and in order. Couldn't ask for a better Commisar and Techmarine!
Also, I have some math hammer fun that I will be covering later in the week. 

ATSKNF,
