Been a while since the last full 40K OSR? post.
I don't know what's up, but it seems to me output is down. I'm assuming it's just a mix of summer, anger online at price rises and limits on sales to Australia, maybe the move from metal, plus the fact GW itself is bringing old 40K material back, possibly early edition complexity in sixth edition.
I'm still linking though. I'll do full updates like this less often, but you can see the latest mentions at any point using the 40K OSR? search label.
So then, the usual. First, what's a 40K OSR? There are some potential definitions here.
- A little sadness to start, the sale at Mordian 7th Regiment of a converted adeptus mechanicus force, but check out the Thousand Sons jetbikes.
- Rules Manufactorum have been running reviews of Shawn Abreu's homebrew, the renegade Constantinus, Necron Stalkers and the Dark Eldar Avatar.
- If you're a craftworlder, For Holy Terra is creating Fandex: Eldar unit by unit, while for Chaos Chaotic Painter has some work on a Word Bearer fandex.
- Bix at The Veil's Edge has more for the Blood Drinkers too, on the Flaw.
- Auberon at Digital Waaagh! is back with more Ork madboyz, moroniks.
- Commissar Carrie at Inquisitork has a project status list - work for Lantz's AdMech FanDex is done, and there'll be a new blog, plus some Ork fiction.
- Lantz himself gave us a conversion at Twin Linked Awesome, the Leman Russ Butcher, and as mentioned here, more AdMech minis completed.
- Staying with the adeptus mechanicus, fuzzbuket has a patrol droid.
- Over at A Gentleman's Ones Brian is making strong progress on the Heroes of Armageddon boards, and HoA itself only has a week left to run.
- Ghola Scale is sculpting an ambull, that classic Rogue Trader beastie.
- On the subject of building from scratch, thanks to James S at Warp Signal I found In the Grim Cheapness of the Far Future... and the 'Paperhammer'.
- And get this: The Inner Geek is building a card Emperor-class titan. There are Epic-scale reavers and warlords over at Confessions of a 40K addict.
- Unite All Action has a pair of the original Ork battlewagons converted.
- The Squat project at You Aint Seen Squat! proceeds apace, while Hungry Ghosts at his Chaos Squat blog adds to the history with the Citadel flyers.
Finally, perhaps as a wild card, Gotthammer at Collegia Titanica had a look at the development of the game, focusing on a critical juncture; first part here, second here.

Thanks for another list of goodies.
Funny you mention lack of old school posts, I am crafting one up right now on narrative gaming in 40k, as this type of gaming for me runs all the way back to Rogue Trader in 1987.
Good list of stuff even with the lack of OSR on the web lately.
Cheers,
Jim
@ The Happy Whisk - The good stuff is good indeed and there are some very interesting ideas in there. These guys are really tuned into the 40K universe.
@ Big Jim - I see it in the roll and I'll be across in a second. I agree on the quality. It seems to me that when someone does something, they do it well. It's a real passion for the game.
