The Obsidian Hunters are the Lords of the Night, and with that title comes an inherent ability to use the shadows to their advantage. Striking hard and fast through the darkness and being able to manoeuvre in agile and almost impossible ways means that there are few places enemies can hide from The Obsidian Hunters. After leaving Nostramo, The Obsidian Hunters joined the Warmaster in his crusade to Terra, however before reaching the Solar System they mysteriously vanished, with no trace other than a short voxcast telling how they will return when they are needed most. 

In this weeks Podcast Smaugonite goes into details as to how he got started with his Night Lord force, and why this army holds a special place in his collection. He also talks about whether he can for-see any additions to the force, and whether there will be any new models added in to the force or not!

This week Smaugonite talks through a new army plan that he has put together in hopes to clear some of the last remnants of the backlog and therefore some extra storage space in the Studio! 

He's finally decided a colour scheme for his Imperial Fists and how he wants to get them to be the 'grim-dark' he has always wanted; even if it means painting them a totally different colour to the yellow we expect from Imperial Fists! 

He also talks a bit about Croydon's hobby and where she has made progress this week, with her ideas for a converted Primarch and how her army is going to be a different style than any other that might be played on the table-top!

From the darkest circles of the warp, the Chaos Gods send forth their most brutal and powerful of servants. Using the tides of the nether the form each of these beasts take could resemble any form of the four Chaos Gods when manifesting in the material realms. When they fight however they fight in unison, whether this is battling in the webway, or planetfall somewhere, the Daemons of the End of Empires are always eager to slay souls in service of the Chaos Gods. To fight the End of Empires, the army must be prepared for an onslaught of their every sense, from howling screeching, to fearsome beasts, each manifestation of the Daemons in this force being more terrifying than the last!

In this weeks Podcast Smaugonite goes into details as to how he got started with the Daemons of the Ruinstorm and how it has grown to an army fit for a die-hard fan of the immaterium! He also goes into details on each of his collections under each Chaos God and the reasons he chose to have the models he has from each faction!

This week Smaugonite talks through another retro model he has been working on, and what a joy it has been for him to finally add this to his Daemon army: The End of Empires! He also talks about his Imperial Fists that he has been working on and getting a 'grim-dark' paint scheme done for this army and how important this is for him. Another thing he mentions is he has made some slight progress on the Rolling Thunder Tank Company; and how he is still chipping away at getting as much done of these as possible. He also talks about the hobby that Croydon has been up to again, and this time we'll give you another clue in one word:  'DAKKA!

The Bitter Sons have long been a force of determination and power among the Traitorous Astartes, and nothing has proven to be useful in slowing their progress when they set their mind to bringing a Fortress or enemy fortification down. 

In this weeks Podcast Smaugonite goes into details as to where his Iron Warrior army started, and why he chose to add this Traitor force to his collection... (we'll give you a hint, it's got something to do with a huge shield!)

There are those in the Mechanicum who joined Horus on his path to damnation. Traitorous Titan Legions chose to walk the road of betrayal, and so too did their Mechanicum brethren.

They also have a discussion about the game they played where Minion obliterated Smaugonite's Dark Angels, and what track record the Soul Forged have in their other games for Strategic Painting.

This week Smaugonite talks through what he's been trying to crack on with whilst Croydon has been away. He also talks about the 'Mini-Me' Titanicus Titans he has been working on, and how they have been finally all built so that he can have a miniature display of his most beloved models! 

He also talks a little bit about a piece of history that he worked on in the week, and how the model was featured in a bad light so it meant he felt he had to get one for himself to paint it up and stand against the negative comments!
