Tap, tap, tap, is this thing on?

Hello to anyone still listening out there, I know it’s been a long bout of silence with small busts of static. I am going to try once again to start posting content, the last yeah has been the worst nightmarish year of my life and I need an outlet to post my thoughts.

The last time I posted was when I started my Horus Heresy era Space Wolves, the week after I posted my little sister died due to problems in child birth. This was horrifying and obviously derailed my hobby. I spent the next few months helping and consoling my nieces and nephew. The holidays were really tough as well, but we made it through sharing fantastic memories of my sister I cannot remember the last time we laughed so much at Christmas. It truly felt like things were finally turning the corner.

We had a fantastic New Years eve as well we even streamed with my Pop from his place in Panama. It was awesome filled with joy and laughter, we decided to make this a new tradition. Two days later it felt like the world was ending, we got the news that my Father had passed away. I still have numb days over this, my Pop was my rock and inspiration when It comes to the hobby and gaming.

My Dad started me off in this hobby young I was rolling dice for him by age 6 and painting minis by age 8, the thought of not participating in the wargaming hobby has never crossed my mind, it is a part of life for me just like breathing. It’s been 7 months I still keenly feel his loss, but it’s time to start gaming and painting in a serious way again.


I have plenty of projects I would like to complete to play games in my father’s memory. These span the entirety of history within gaming from the Ancient world to the jungles of the Vietnam War. It is going to be an emotional fun filled ride for sure.


On the positive side of things we now have a fantastic 40k gaming reboot with the release of 8^th edition, I think it’s finally time to get the Soul Reapers rebuilt and painted. I owe this to the fantastic folks that contributed the models for it. In fact I have been painting the Lord of the Reapers and he’s almost finished here's a sneak peek! 

Until next time…..

Eris the Seeker modeling part one: the bike

Here is the beginnings of Eris the Seeker. The bike is pretty much completed, I'll be starting work on Eris himself tomorrow.

I'd like to thank Old School Terminator for introducing me to FU 2000's nifty conversion posted on DakkaDakka. Which is where the inspiration for the weapons mount comes from.

Fenris Hjolda!

Fenris endures and so does the blog, even though I have been quiet here in the last couple of years, my hobby mojo has become stronger than ever. 

After Deepstrike Radio ended I needed a break from 40k, I played other sci-fi games like Warzone and went to work for a brief period in the game industry. Well my game industry job has ended and I have more time for hobby posting again.

I have a No more 40k vow until GW give us a good Chaos Marine codex that makes basic Chaos Marines worthwhile to put on the table for their points. That vow so far will remain intact, however the Horus Heresy is 30k not 40k and the Rout are coming to the tabletop from Forgeworld by years end.

So I will be getting ready to rain down Sanction on the Thousand Sons and bring war to the crystal city!

I have taken the starts of my Long Fang conversions for 40k and made them 30K compliant they all now have missile launchers.

This is where the conversions originated from, they started off as the 2^nd ed Long Fangs or Devastator Marines. I did this because I love the reinforced leg armor. 

Now here they are in their converted glory, 2 of them we completed before starting this project and have the 40k missile launchers which I decided to keep for variety sake. I still have a bit of green stuff work on the squad leader, but the rest are ready for priming.

Until next time Praise Russ and pass the ammunition!

Progress on the Warlord Krüg conversion

This post has been sitting as a draft since mid march, it somehow got lost in the shuffle. So I thought I would post it now since no further progress has been made and the question in the post is still valid.

So here is the upper body of Warlord Krüg, for the most part I am happy with him so far.

He will get pre-heresy shoulder pads using Ron's guide on FTW, as a starting point. I still need to strip the scythe head and two skulls on top of the armor, they are both just sitting on their pins.

My only question to you guys is, does the pose work?

Edit: Here is a not so great side shot of the model, to give a little more perspective on the pose.

Warzone Resurrection at the Las Vegas Open 2015

Prodos Games and Warzone Resurrection are heading to the Las Vegas Open in February. The Las Vegas Open (LVO) will be held at the Flamingo hotel on Feb 20 through the 23^rd.

This will be the first Prodos Games run tournament in the US. So far we are half booked for the event with a solid 8 players with room for another 8.

There are 3 custom LVO missions, which have been turned into oversized cards (including special objective placement rules) for the event that every participant will receive a set of to take home with them. 

Undead Legionnaire added to show the size of the cards

The players have even created a commemorative logo and shirt for the event!

Here is the mock up for the shirt!

They also sent me two of these cool dice pouches to give away at the event, these dedicated Warzone Resurrection players want to show the community how they support their game and do it in style!

Prodos Games will be presenting 3 Razide Diorama trophies for the first, second and third place participants. Who will win the Coveted Golden Razide!?! Only the dice gods know! 

You can purchase your event pass here: WZR Tourney you must also purchase an LVO con badge as well.

There will also be Warzone Resurrection demos run Friday before the tournament and all day on Sunday.

Happy New Year and the road ahead!

I want to wish all my friends and followers the most prosperous New Years possible! It has been a long road and I appreciate all the support you guys have given me over the years!



So the question is what is on the road ahead here on Galaxy in Flames? Well expect a lot of Warzone Resurrection in 2015, because I absolutely love the game and universe. Obviously there will be a smattering of other game systems posted about as well, since y'all know I play many games!


Bringing Mike aboard to help with content and should give you plenty to look at as you discover Warzone for yourself or just enjoy pictures of great mins and terrain!


Then there will be lots of promoting of the League of Extraordinary Gamers Blog WZR narrative Campaign, this was a had fought victory in the voting for which system they would cover as their 2015 campaign.

I am painting again and am working on a squad of Nasca Razides for WZR, pics soon!

Until next time, keep your powder dry and lead flying!
