Notes / Ideas
#

The owned + assembled pool (Ahriman, Infernal Master, 5 Scarab Occult Terminators, 2 Chaos Spawn, 20 Tzaangors, 40 Rubric Marines) tops out around 1,355p (cheapest per-model split) — roughly the 1,250p bracket. 1,500p and up need new purchases.
Detachment: Rubricae Phalanx. Rule “All is Dust”: +1 to save rolls for RUBRICAE units (Rubric Marines and Scarab Occult Terminators) against attacks with an unmodified Damage characteristic of 1. Covers both core owned units directly, always-on (no psychic-test dependency) — picked over the earlier Ritual of Regeneration suggestion, which only touched the Rubric Marines’ healing.
Ahriman and Infernal Master both lead Rubric Marines — pick one as Warlord per bracket, the other rides with a second squad once there are enough bodies to field two.
Scarab Occult Terminators are the hard-hitting elite unit — Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (Wishlist) is their dedicated Leader once there’s room.
Tzaangors are the cheap screening/objective body — Tzaangor Shaman (Wishlist) leads them and the Enlightened variants.
1,500p+ pulls from the Wishlist — suggestions below are one plausible shopping list, not the only one.

The owned + assembled pool tops out around 1,540p (cheapest per-model split) — almost exactly the December 1,500p bracket. Everything through 1,500p below is built from models you already have; nothing to buy until January.
Detachment: Cursed Legion (confirmed via the June 2026 Faction Pack). Rule “Cold Fervour”: +2 Strength to all DESTROYER CULT weapons (Skorpekh + Ophydian Destroyers); the first time each turn a Destroyer Cult unit destroys a unit or drops it below half strength, every other Necrons unit also gets +2 S until end of turn — this is the payoff for the Necron Warriors blocks. Reaches the whole list, not just the Destroyer half of it, so it’s the default across brackets unless a bracket skews hard toward Warriors/Immortals instead (in which case Hand of the Dynasty — Assault on Warriors/Immortals guns — is the alternative).
Two Overlords means one runs as Warlord glued to the Necron Warriors/Immortals blob, the second either leads a second combat squad (bigger brackets) or stays on the shelf (smaller ones).
Royal Warden and Plasmancer are the cheap character glue — attach to whichever Warriors/Immortals unit needs the buff.
Canoptek Reanimator + Scarab Swarms are the durability backbone — keep them near Destroyers/vehicles to heal each turn.
Night Scythe is the only transport/flyer in the pool — most useful once there’s a squad worth deep-striking (Lychguard or Immortals), so it shows up mid-bracket rather than early.
2,000p and 3,000p pull from the Wishlist — suggestions below are just one plausible shopping list, not the only one.

A #1 Trophy for the Escalation League

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Mythos runs its own 40K escalation league, so this was a good excuse to fork the card-stand backplate into something new: a standalone trophy plaque, printed in resin.

What it is
#

A single plaque — the Mythos icon, the wordmark, a big “#1”, and a small “40K Escalation League / Season 2” line underneath. The panel is dished in from the front so a raised frame runs all the way around it, with the relief inside sitting flush against that frame rather than looking sunken.

Roster

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Built for the Mythos 40K escalation league — starts at 750p (Incursion) in September 2026, climbing to 2,000p (Strike Force) by January 2027.

Wishlist points/sizes are from the current Munitorum Field Manual — check Wahapedia or the official Necrons Faction Pack for full datasheet/detachment rules per unit.

Notes / Ideas
#

Neurogaunts are cheap synapse-range extension for the Neurotyrant — solid include at almost any points level.
Termagants → wishlist Hormagaunts is the troop/swarm core; a Tervigon (wishlist) would keep Termagants topped up if the collection grows that way.
Broodlord currently has no Genestealer unit sized to actually attach to in a clean list — worth planning which Genestealers split (5s or 10s) pairs with it.
Neurotyrant or wishlist Hive Tyrant as the single big synapse/psychic piece — likely not both at this collection’s size, same logic Tzeentch used for its big single-caster choice.
Von Ryan’s Leapers are the fast ambush element; Lictor plays a similar infiltrate/objective role solo.
Screamer-Killer is still its own named, separately-priced loadout (125p/135p) on the Carnifexes datasheet — pricier than the plain Carnifex loadout (90p/180p) it shares a datasheet with.
Winged Tyranid Prime is a cheap (65p) Leader for Tyranid Warriors — worth attaching once a Warriors squad size is settled.

A Business-Card Stand for the Neighbours

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A new store, Mythos, opened up in the neighbourhood — wanted to make them something nice for the counter. Also, a good excuse to practice two techniques I hadn’t done before: stamping a logo in from a raster image, and a genuinely zero-support resin print.

What it is
#

A two-part stand for the counter: a holder with three upright slots for stacks of ~50 business cards each (65×65mm cards), and a backplate carrying the Mythos logo and wordmark in relief. Sized for the Anycubic Photon Mono 2’s build volume, printed in resin.

Modular Drawers & Stick/Wire Organizer

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A modular drawer/bin storage system for the desk, built on a found parametric design and resized to fit — including an organizer insert for the sticks/wire used to mount models for painting.

Started from an existing modular drawer/module STL family and stretched every part by the same amount along its length axis, so the whole set stays interchangeable at the new size. One half-width module got a further pass: floor removed, dividers added, and a label lip — turning it into an open 4-compartment tube sized to hold mounting sticks/wire upright.

Now two separate 11th-edition datasheets — Melee Bio-weapons and Ranged Bio-weapons — each sold as 1 Tyranid Prime + 2–5 Warriors (3 or 6 models total). The 4 owned don’t map cleanly onto either model count; worth deciding whether to add/remove a model or just proxy at 3 for games.

Blue Horrors	125p	10 models — also gained free from Pink Horrors’ split
Brimstone Horrors	free	spawned from Blue Horrors split — no standalone datasheet
Screamers of Tzeentch	160p / 80p	6 / 3 models
Fateskimmer (Herald on chariot)	95p
Fluxmaster (Herald on disc)	70p
Changecaster (Herald on foot)	60p
Exalted Flamer	65p
The Changeling	90p
The Blue Scribes	(no current datasheet — Legends removed)	last known value 75p, not currently playable

Notes / Ideas
#

Core of the collection is already Tzeentch-flavoured shooting/psychic: Pink Horrors → Blue Horrors → Brimstone Horrors split chain gives durable objective-holding troops for relatively few points.
Screamers and Flamers are the fast/deep-strike elements — Screamers threaten backfield objectives, Flamers punish grouped infantry.
Lord of Change or Kairos Fateweaver as the single big psychic threat/beatstick — probably not both in the same list at this collection’s size.
Heralds (Changecaster on foot, Fluxmaster on disc, Fateskimmer on chariot) are the cheap character glue — attach to whichever unit needs the buff/screen.
The Changeling and The Blue Scribes are the utility/support pieces — worth checking current detachment rules before relying on them, since the Blue Scribes has no current 11th-edition datasheet (see Roster notes).

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Goal: fun, characterful, fast-playing force — lean on the existing Speed Freeks collection rather than fielding all 70+ Boyz. See the full roster for painted status and details on everything owned.

Working list: NewRecruit — Orks

Reference: Wahapedia — Orks (11th Edition)

Wanted / To Buy
#

Item	Why
Wazdakka Gutsmek	Unlocks Warbikers as Battleline in the Speedwaaagh! detachment — the key enabler for a bike-led list
Warboss on Warbike (optional)	For a dedicated bike-mounted HQ instead of proxying the Choppa/PowerClaw Warboss; not essential, can proxy first

To Build
#

Item	Qty	Notes
Meganobz	3	Rest of the unit — currently 1 built/painted
Trukk	1	Already owned, unbuilt
Deffkoptas	3
Armageddon box contents	38 models	Warboss, Bigboss, BannerNob, Weirdboy, PainBoy + Grot Orderly, Big Mek Dakkarig, Wartrakk, 20 Boyz, 10 Gretchin

To Paint
#

Item	Qty	Notes
Bigboss / Warboss (PowerClaw)	1	Already built
Meganobz	3	Once built
Trukk	1	Once built
Deffkoptas	3	Once built
Armageddon box contents	38 models	Once built — good opportunity to lock in a clan scheme (Bad Moons, matching the shoulder-mount Nobz?) across old and new models

Rebasing / Cleanup
#

Item	Notes
Old monopose Boyz (20)	Likely on undersized integral bases — rebase to current size
Old monopose Gretchin (20)	Same
Scratch-built Mek Gunz (all 5)	Check old glue joins are still solid
Converted Nobz (Freebooter, shoulder-mount Big Shootas)	Check old glue joins, consider rebasing to match the rest

Suggested Army Builds
#

Speedwaaagh! — primary pick
#

Low model count, high speed, plays fast. Roughly:

Arcane Obelisks — Objective Markers

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

Objective markers — the easiest pieces to build with the biggest visual impact.

Features
#

Tall narrow stone pillars
Runes
Crystal tops
Broken pieces around the base

Best materials
#

Foam — main body
Laser cutter — rune panels, geometric patterns
3D printer — tops, symbols, decorations

Build idea
#

Make 3–5 identical but slightly different ones.

Broken Prospero Temple Ruins — Filler Terrain

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

The “filler” terrain that makes the board feel alive.

Features
#

Fallen columns
Broken walls
Statues
Books/libraries
Arcane machinery

Best materials
#

Foam — walls, rubble
Cork bark — rocks
3D printer — statues, skulls, books, symbols
Laser cutter — wall patterns

Build idea
#

Create several L-shaped ruins — great for cover, easy to move, good for gameplay.

Crystal Energy Fields — Scatter Terrain

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

Small scatter terrain that ties everything together across the board.

Features
#

Blue crystals
Psychic energy vents
Floating stones
Warp anomalies

Best materials
#

Resin — crystals
3D printer — crystal holders
LEDs — optional lighting
Foam — ground rocks

Floating Crystal Forest Pylons

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

Floating islands held aloft by psychic energy.

Features
#

Stone pillars floating vertically
Twisted alien trees
Crystal clusters
Hanging roots/vines
Energy glow underneath

Best materials
#

Foam — rocks and cliffs
Real branches — trees
3D printer — crystal clusters, supports, alien plants
Clear acrylic rods — floating effect
Magnets — optional removable pieces

Build idea
#

Make 3–5 smaller pieces: one large floating island, two medium pillars, several small scatter crystals. Gives gameplay cover.

Prospero Brazier — Attachment Piece

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

A small carved-stone flame finial on a plinth base — an attachment/scatter piece for topping walls, balustrades, and pyramid tier corners, not a standalone terrain feature on its own.

Features
#

Short square plinth base with deep-carved Thousand Sons arcanotech glyph banding
Tall stylized stone flame finial rising from the plinth top — carved solid stone, not lit/glowing
Weathered, textured stone finish matching the rest of the Prospero board
Sized to attach along wall tops, balustrade corners, or pyramid tier edges

Best materials
#

3D printer / resin — whole piece, single-piece cast (plinth + flame finial together)

Build idea
#

Print a batch of these as a repeatable detail piece — line them along pyramid tier corners, obelisk plinths, or ruin wall tops for a consistent motif across the board. Paint and weather to match whichever piece they’re attached to; no assembly beyond gluing to the host piece’s edge.

Prospero Columns — Standing & Broken

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

Fluted marble columns for the ruined-temple filler terrain — a batch of whole standing columns plus toppled ones broken into segments, sitting alongside the walls and arches of the ruins.

Features
#

Tapered fluted shaft, low round plinth, square abacus capital on a round echinus flare (matches the blocky square cap on the fallen column in the Prospero ruins reference art)
Whole/standing variant for columns still upright among the ruins
A kit of standing broken parts — base (plinth + stub), middle (generic drum), top (stub + capital) — rather than a fixed pre-arranged pile, so they can be mixed, stacked, or scattered by hand when building the board
All fracture surfaces are irregular/jagged (broken stone), not clean plane cuts

Best materials
#

3D printer / resin — all variants, single-piece print per part

Build idea
#

Print several of the whole column for standing ruin sections. Print a batch of base/middle/top parts and combine or scatter them freely — stack base+middle+top with gaps for a “recently toppled” look, or spread individual parts as rubble among other ruins pieces. No assembly beyond placement: each STL prints and sits as one piece.

Prospero Pyramid — Centerpiece

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

The main centerpiece of the Prospero board — a large stepped pyramid/temple that dominates the battlefield. Not a perfect Egyptian pyramid — more like a Thousand Sons psyker academy / ritual site.

Features
#

Wide stone steps
Raised platform at the top
Broken sections
Arcane symbols
Crystal energy nodes
Gold/blue details

Best materials
#

Foam — main structure, steps, rocks
Laser cutter — MDF decorative panels, repeating wall patterns, stairs
3D printer — runes, statues, crystal holders, scarab-like details

Build idea
#

Build in layers: MDF base plate → XPS foam blocks → foam-cut stairs → laser-cut “stone panels” as decoration → printed rune pieces on top.

Prospero Rune Panels — Cladding

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Concept
#

Small engraved rune plaques for cladding Thousand Sons / Prospero-themed terrain (pyramids, obelisks, ruins) — or just as standalone scatter detail. Sixteen unique glyphs plus a blank frame panel, in six border styles, all sized and oriented for flat, support-free resin printing.

What you get
#

16 unique rune glyphs (manifestation, decay, binding, chaos, cycle, void, dominion, earth, entropy, fire, flow, will, life, growth, transcendence, sacred), each embossed on its own panel, plus 1 blank panel (frame only, no rune) — 17 STLs per border style.
6 border styles — same glyph, same panel, different frame:

Style	Look
`v1_plain`	no frame — bare glyph
`v2_ring_gems`	thin rule-line ring, studded with diamond gems
`v3_fishbone_spine`	rule-line spine with periodic crossed ribs
`v4_fishbone_rows`	dense woven fishbone texture, no frame line
`v5_fishbone_2strand`	rail + zigzag ribbon (2-strand)
`v6_fishbone_3strand`	rail + zigzag ribbon (3-strand, denser)

Pick whichever frame matches the rest of the board — or mix and match.

Generating Miniature Bases with Blender

Sun, 31 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Blender Python script that generates a complete set of plain bases across all standard GW shapes and sizes — hollow, print-ready, with optional magnet sockets. Good for when you want a clean blank base quickly without hunting for a file on Printables.

Built and tested in Blender 5.1.2. No plugins required — paste into the Script Editor and run.

Printed set — magnet sockets and size labels visible on the underside

Simple and fast — these are rank-and-file fillers, not showpieces. Grey primer keeps the blue vivid without going too pale, while still giving the ink something light to react with. The ink is used as a filter throughout — not a wash, it coats the whole model and the gradient comes from the underlying light/dark structure.

About

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Studio M // Miniatures & Models is a personal workshop and documentation space for all things tabletop miniatures, model building, and painting. Here I track my projects, experiment with paint schemes, and record techniques, progress, and ideas.

This site serves both as a hobby log for myself and a source of inspiration for other miniature enthusiasts. Every project is documented with:

Goals and concepts
Paint schemes and recipes
Step-by-step progress
Photos of work in progress and finished models

I also keep track of inventory, techniques, and notes, making Studio M a complete miniature workshop notebook in digital form.

Paint Scheme
#

Fast batch scheme built around a single airbrush gradient and one ink filter pass. White prime keeps the yellow vivid. The Magenta ink is not a wash — it’s a transparent filter airbrushed over the whole model. It tints everything, but the underlying yellow and orange still show through; the gradient comes from the colour already on the model, not from the ink pooling in recesses. No blending, no freehand — the whole unit can be done in one session.

Necron Basing Guide

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide documents the basing process used for our Necron models. The goal is to create a dry desert-style base with good texture and contrast against the metallic models.

Materials Used
#

GW Technical texture paint (Astro Granit)
Black primer (spray)
Monster Brown
Desert Yellow
Skeleton Bone
Abaddon Black (base rim)

Step-by-Step Process
#

1. Apply Texture
#

Apply GW Technical texture paint to the base.
Smear it on liberally to create natural ground texture.
Use an old brush or sculpting tool to spread it.

2. Let It Dry
#

Allow the texture paint to dry completely before priming.
This prevents cracking or paint separation.

3. Prime
#

Spray the entire model and base with black primer.
This creates strong shadows in the texture.

4. Base Color
#

Paint the base with Monster Brown.

5. First Dry Brush
#

Lightly dry brush Desert Yellow over the raised texture.

6. Final Highlight
#

Apply a lighter dry brush of Skeleton Bone to the highest points.

7. Base Rim
#

Paint the base rim with Abaddon Black for a clean finish.

Tips
#

Apply texture before priming so the primer seals everything together.
Use progressively lighter dry brushing to bring out the ground texture.
Keep the rim clean — it frames the model and improves presentation.

Necron Paint Scheme

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide documents our Necron paint workflow, from primer to base finishing. Follow the steps carefully for best results.

Materials Used
#

Black primer (spray)
GW Runelord Brass (Base & Layer)
GW Agrax Earthshade (Gloss)
GW Runefang Steel (Layer)
White undercoat (for glow areas)
Tesseract Glow (Airbrush)
Abaddon Black (Rim)
Monster Brown, Desert Yellow, Skeleton Bone (Base)

Step-by-Step Painting Process
#

1. Primer
#

Apply a black spray primer to the entire model.
Ensures base coverage and helps shades stand out.

2. Base Coat
#

Dry brush Runelord Brass over the model.
Focus on metallic surfaces for initial highlights.

3. Shade
#

Apply Agrax Earthshade (Gloss) to shaded areas.
Concentrate “on the meaty parts” — recesses, joints, and armor gaps.

4. Highlights
#

Use Runefang Steel for streaking and edge highlights.
Adds metallic shine and detail definition.

5. Glow Areas
#

Apply a white undercoat where energy or glow effects will appear.
Prepares surfaces for the airbrushed glow.

6. Airbrush Glow
#

Airbrush Tesseract Glow over previously white areas.
Creates the iconic Necron energy effect.

7. Rim
#

Paint Abaddon Black along the rims and edges.
Adds depth and contrast to the model.

Base Painting
#

Monster Brown – main base layer.
Desert Yellow – highlights and dry brushing.
Skeleton Bone – final highlights and dry brushing.

Notes & Tips
#

Always thin paints appropriately for smooth layers.
Work from darkest to lightest shades to enhance depth.
Dry brushing should be done lightly for subtle metallic texture.
For glow effects, multiple light layers with the airbrush give the best result.

Tzeentch Basing Guide

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This guide documents the basing process used for my Tzeentch army.

The goal was a simple, dark base that lets the model stand out, but still includes some visual interest to draw the eye.

The theme is ancient stone flooring, inspired by the ruins of an old marble tower.

Note

Base
Air-dry clay + texture roller
Plaster (small broken pieces for white marble effect)
Superglue
Black primer (spray)
Grey — mid grey and a lighter highlight grey (both mixed from black + white)
Abaddon Black (for the base rim)

Step-by-Step Process
#

1. Apply Texture
#

Apply clay to the base.
Use the texture roller to imprint the pattern.
Remove any excess clay around the edges.

Tip

Air-dry clay works best because it sticks to the base and holds texture well.
