It’s been close to a year since I last posted to Eroberung – As many hobbyists will know, real life often gets in the way of pursuing the hobby and maintaining a steady pace of building and painting. That being said, I haven’t been completely idle since March 2022, and the hobby itself has undergone…
Cataphractii
Nothing quite speaks to the brutal grind of massed infantry combat at the height of the Great Crusade like the imposing form of Cataphractii warplate – Along with Mk.III ‘Iron Armour’ these heavy-duty troops, clad in the earliest mass-produced mark of tactical dreadnought armour, have been an iconic component of the Horus Heresy setting right…
Vindicator
All hobbyists have that one type or class of kit that they tend to steer clear of or have little interest in. For me that is almost certainly tanks and other heavier fighting vehicles, and always has been. When I think of myself as a hobbyist, its very definitely as a miniature enthusiast, and this…
Consul-Opsequiari
Very early on into my Dusk Raiders project I realised that I would be left with a considerable body of spare parts and miscellaneous bits. In particular, I intended to use the more ornate resin torsos to represent various classes of officer and functionaries, meaning that I would have a considerable number left over from…
Vorax Automata
The brutally honest truth about hobbying is that occassionally you come across projects or miniatures, that do not go as smoothly as planned, and instead become an arduous test of endurance to complete, and leave you feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the overall outcome. Whilst I completed the 4th Great Company’s Praevian in May of 2021,…
Furibundus
When it comes to iconic miniatures and kits from the Rogue Trader era, the natural counterpart to citadel’s range of so-called ‘Imperial Robots’ are its old ‘Imperial Dreadnoughts’ of which the Furibundus-class, with its pod-like chassis, stubby legs, chunky feet, and gimbal-mounted heavy weapons is the singular example. The resurgence in interest in Rogue Trader…
Praevian
I first got into the hobby at the end of the 80’s and actually bought my first miniatures, the 10-man version of the RTB01 plastic Space Marines box, in ’91 around the same time that the Warhammer 40,000 Compilation was published. The partner to the Compilation was, of course, the Compendium published in ’89 and…
Bloodshield Breachers
When it comes to popular units available to all the Legions, Breacher Siege Squads are the standout winner – There’s something about the combination of guns and shields that appeals to the baroque-gothic nature of the setting, and makes them one of the iconic units of Warhammer 30,000. Much like the Reconnaissance Squad I previously…
Reconnaissance
As any Horus Heresy hobbyist will know, whilst Forgeworld provides a phenomenal range of miniatures for the setting, issues with maintaining a diverse array of kits and bits in what is essentially a niche offshoot of the core business means that they are not always able to provide every squad type in the various armours…
State of the Crusade
It’s that time of year, when people typically start to assess the previous twelve months and address the issue of what they aspire to achieve in the coming twelve, and our hobby is no exception when it comes to this self-reflective process, so let’s get down to business… Firstly, we should really deal with the…
