Upgrades For Forge World Primarch Models Coming?

Hi all!

Quick one tonight as the update report was delayed - truly sorry!!

I was reminiscing back to a conversation I had with the brilliant Simon Egan at the Grand Opening and I remembered a tidbit he gave me; I asked about the potential future release of helmets for the Primarch models and Simon replied that it is on the list of projects but he had no idea when. There would potentially be other bits too like alternate weapons etc. 

Vulkans Helmet on Istvaan V:

Alpharius will probably come with one as standard:

I personally feel this would be a fantastic move for the company as I really struggled to find a suitable Fireblade for Fulgrim last year. In the end I had to pay £30 odd for a model that largely got thrown away lol.

Lion Helm:
It's Pre Heresy version:



What upgrades would you all like to see to the character range? Maybe a grill for Mortarion?

Solar Auxilia continued

So more progress has been made on the Solar Auxilia Volkite squad. Slowly but surely coming along we have been able to complete the red fatigues and next we will be able to further finish the clothing and the weapons and shall finish the squad in due course.

Apologies for the short report but here is how they are looking so far:


Check back soon for more from us :)

Forge World Warlord Titan: How will you outfit yours?

With the Beautiful Warlord Titan due to go on sale this month I want to ask the community a few questions based on what has been showcased so far. 

The Head is sold separately from the main Torso. I assume it is to keep the costs down instead of providing both heads. The Torso is apparently £900. 

There are two head options and arm pit shield options so far. 

1) Gated face with extra armour plates instead of shields. 

I do like this option and feel it would be more suitable for certain Legios over others. The extra plates instead of shields make me think it is a more functional design too. That makes me think it is more akin to Legio Metalica, Mortis and the Fire Wasps. 
The head seen from the side below does look very interesting.


2) Knightly (Spot the Bonafied legend in the background too). 
This strikes me as a Legio Gryphonicus, Legio Presageous etc style design, with the Heraldic shields and Fleur de lys style trim. 

It is more aesthetically appealing in my opinion, but mainly for certain Legios. 


Or alternatively you can buy all options and magnetise the hell out of it and swap out the banners and treat it as different Titans in the same house colours. 

The arm pit plates strike me as slots designed for further eventual upgrades too.

Washathon!!!!

Hi all

Since attending the Warhammer Grand Opening, I have been re motivated in making so more progress with my legions. So I went on a washing spree and washed every single unwashed model I have.

This consisted of:
20 breachers
10 mk4 and mk3 dispoiler marines.
2 of each of the upgrade kits for the Impirial Fist squads
Fellbade
Storm Eagle
Pollux
Imperial Fists contemptor including weapons
Various Imperial Fists shoulder pads, heads and torsos.
5 Gal Vorbak
And finally a Mahra Gal Tainted Dreadnaught.


As you can imagine this did take some time but I am
Hoping to do all of my current Imperial Fists in one go so it will all be worth it in the end :-)

Weekly Progress report is back!

The storm of life, moving, working and Nappies has relented and Heresy has emerged!!!

Khall has started his dream Legion - The Ultramarines. He has a large force already purchased and is looking at adding further over the next few months. Roboute Guilliman is in hand and washed. Khall is now waiting on Legion specific units mainly.


Recently Darko has made a start on his new project, which turns out is the Emperors Children. He has inherited these from Khall after a legion trade! He has recently acquired some phoenix guard, palatine blades and Rylanor the Unyielding.  He has so far prepared and undercoated said units and will look to progress more on these over the next coming week/s




Little Bunny and Drake (whilst Baby Bunny sleeps) have also been working on Execution Force. The group assigned Assassins to the Gamers who's Legion's best suited that assassin's background. Due to Mortarion and Russ's hatred for Sorcerors, Drake ended up with the Culexus. 
Targel got the Eversor (shooting from siege walls etc). 
Darko the Eversor (due to World Eaters). 
Khall the Callidus (due to Raven Guard).




That's all for this week.

Saturday Knight - House Vornherr

Saturday Knight: Vornherr

Hi all, I am here to talk to you about the loyalist house described in the latest Horus Heresy book; Tempest.

I aim to give you the following information; what suits they favoured, colour scheme, Segmentum, Homeworld, Loyalty, Lord and most importantly the Legions they may have quested with. 

This week; House Vornherr.

House Vornherr
Homeworld: Luhnborg-IX
Segmentum: Ultima Segmentum
Colours: 'bloody scarlet and sun-fire yellow'
Lord: Duke Sorvak Bhaevenwulf - Cerastus Knight Acheron 'Surcease of Sorrow'
Discovered by: Rogue Trader Kohnwallis who was part of the 12th Expeditionary Fleets pathfinder units.
Allegiance: They were loyal to Roboute Guilliman and the 500 Worlds. Also ties to Legio Tempestus and Praesagius.
Known to have fought with Magnus, Dorn and Jaghatai Khan.


Originally there were 7 houses in Luhnborg System which fought each other for long centuries after Old Night. Eventually House Vornherr rose up and defeated the other 6 houses and claimed the assets. House Vornherr then defended the system against Xenos until the 12th Expeditionary fleet finally made contact. Rogue Trader Kohnwallis established communication and hostilities were deemed out of the question. Kohnwallis and Duke Khorvun Bhaevenwulf talked and House Vornherr agreed to join the Great Crusade.


They were present and central to many of 12th expeditionary fleets greatest victories and fought many times against Orks.

The House bowed the knee to Roboute Guilliman after a huge campaign on Jardingris. At this point they became defenders of the 500 Worlds.



Materiél strength. 
It is estimated that House Vornherr comprised of around 600 Knights at the Calth muster, this made them the largest knight house operating in the Eastern Fringe. The house was generally kitted out with Questoris class armours, predominantly Errant and Paladin types. Knight Lancers were used as a vanguard phalanx. The duke rode in an Acheron, attended to by a veteran Life Guard formation of Castigators.
Recommended Loadout;
Great Crusade and Horus Heresy ratio: I am going to do 1 of each Knight type.


Hope you enjoy. If you have attempted a Knight of this house already let me know below.

New Forge World Airbrush paints

It's been a long time coming but here we are. 


The Forge World Airbrush Range collects together all 26 of Forge World’s airbrush paints into one, handy collection to make it easier for you to get the entire range.

Forge World Airbrush Paints are specially formulated acrylic paints designed to give great results with an airbrush, whilst retaining the perfect consistency for applying with a paint brush. This range of 26 paints includes flat colours and metallics, as well as clear colours which can be combined to create effects such as fades, blends, washes and for changing the shades and tones of other colours. Forge World Airbrush Paints are ideally suited for using with our Horus Heresy model range, as well as with all other Forge World and Citadel models and scenery.

We recommend using Forge World Clear Medium with your airbrush paints to improve their flow and provide a great aid to blending. We also recommend using Forge World Solution, which is ideal for thinning paints and for cleaning your airbrush.

People who want the beautiful glossy purple of the Emperor's children and the sea green of the Sons of Horus now have the ability to achieve these goals with a range of official paints. 

I for one am glad I have not got to my Vlka Fenryka or Night Lords yet, as the official colours should look fantastic. I do hope that the paints are of a better quality than the Citadel paints. 



We will update you with our review on these paints when we get our paws on them.

Solar Auxilia force continued

After some time off hobby for many reasons we have all had a good kick-start back in. With the Warhammer World opening we have all got back down to business and first port of call was the Solar Auxilia army.

We have just started our volkite unit and they are looking well. So far they have been drybrushed with metal and had most of the red fatigues started on. A very good session for us to get us back in the habit. We will soon be cracking on again with our legion projects with a few knights and Mechanicum thrown in as well. See future posts for these updates.

For now here are a few pictures of our latest works on the Solar Auxilia unit mentioned above:






Check back soon for more work and posts from us here at the bunny camp.

Warhammer World Grand opening additional photos.

Thanks to Arkangel for some additional cool photos. 


Warlord Bridge detail. Smaller than portrayed in some books but cool.


























A Necron exhibition with Blood Angels and some cool lighting. 

A cool Valkyrie conversion. 

An alternative Princeps model. Would love to see this guy standing in front of a Mortis Warlord in a display cabinet.
