Hachette Combat Patrol – Fronteris Terrain (Subscribers Offer)

March 7, 2025 Declan and Eeyore Leave a comment

I have been quietly collecting the latest Hachette Combat Patrol and whilst I intended to keep up to date with the painting life (or more accurately Necromunda Terrain) got in the way

I have written about Issue 1 here... and issue 2 here... but then stopped!!

But I am back because I got a Subscriber only offer today for some Fronteris terrain and I wanted to know if it was good value or not.

And all this for £75, but how much would it cost retail and is it really ‘Amazing Value’?

Off to Warhammer.com to check:

Prices from the Games Workshop webstore (UK)

So you get 1 each of the first two sets and 2 of the third set for a total of £205- (when did terrain get so expensive!!)

Hachette are offering all this for £75…! So above 50% more than the cost of one of the kits alone! or about 1/3 of retail.

As a self-declared terrain addict I couldn’t say no to that, and have already placed my order.

This is limited to subscribers only and only 1 set permitted so I can’t pick any up for anyone, but if you’re a subscriber I hope you enjoy it — or at the very least pick up and sell to friends!

VOTE – Stormcast Scheme for Stormbringer

March 24, 2022 Peter Holland Leave a comment

I’ve had many responses to my question on whether I should follow the Magazine steps or create my own using an original scheme. The opinion was unanimous in that I should create a guide for an original scheme.

Therefore I have come up with some designs below. These aren’t all original and one or two are other GW stormhost, but I thought I would include these in case people wanted a guide on those.

Below are all the schemes followed by a poll at the end.

Scheme 1 – Celestial Warbringers (GW Scheme)

Scheme 2 – Hallowed Knights (GW)

Scheme 3 – Knights Excelsior (GW)

Scheme 4 – Anvils of Heldenhammer (GW)

Scheme 5 – Celestial Vindicators (GW)

Scheme 6 – Homebrew 1

Scheme 7 – Homebrew 2

Scheme 8 – Homebrew 3

Scheme 9 – Homebrew 4

Pallid Wych Flesh / Stegadon Scale Green

Scheme 10 – Homebrew 5

There we have it. Ten schemes, five by GW and five by myself. All you have to do is vote for your favourite. I’m going to leave this poll pinned to the top o

My Stormbringer Subscription

March 17, 2022 Peter Holland Leave a comment

I have decided to shell out and go for the Stormbringer magazine. This will allow me to bump up the numbers of Orruks I have at a fairly substantial rate.

But I’ve been wondering what I should do with the Stormcast. How should I paint them? What should I do when I have painted them etc etc etc.

So my first question on the matter of the subscription is would you all like me to follow the colour guides and painting guides given in the magazine’s or should I use a different set of colours for each army? Also, should I follow the guides precisely to show how the collection progresses using the guides from the magazine?

A Painting Guide from the Premium Magazine for Mortal Realms

If we decide to go for a different colour scheme to the guides should I produce my own weekly guides on how I used the paints supplied?

What do YOU think?

These decisions are all with you!
