GSCUprising in The first steps toward freedom

The desert waystation

Just a little context for this. The Resistance are looking to expand their influence and, working within the Imperial PDF structure, they are putting out their feelers for those who may be persuaded to come over to their side. Our narrator and his squad are visiting a desert waystation on a 'routine' patrol. The trading post was pungent, as these places always were — the stale odour of too many bodies packed into a confined space, sweat soaked deep into the wood and threadbare rugs.

"The glory we gain blinds us first with its lustre."- from Paths to Damnation

-Caddaway, Redemptionist theologian Well I kind of went on a little spending spree, yesterday. I was picking up another case for my John Blanche Masterclass paints from Army Painter off of Amazon. and found Paragon Warsuits for cheap.... So now I have 3 more War Suits (total of 6) plus I picked up these More icons for the beackpack. 5 Arco-Flagellants (only building 4 to ma

GSCUprising in The first steps toward freedom

Awakening an ancient beast

The dust had not yet fully settled when the officer strode forward, his boots crunching over the fallen rubble. He was a broad-shouldered man with a hard-set jaw, his uniform stained with sweat and sand. Despite the years of quiet subjugation, the vestiges of military discipline clung to him like an ill-fitting coat. He turned and barked an order, his voice sharp against the thick silence. "Get those lamps in here! Engineers, with me!" The beams of portable floodlights cu

The Burning Vengeance Crusade

Meeting the Primus

I'm going break character a moment and preface this entry with a little context for you. I've never liked the Genestealer's Kiss mechanic; it's always felt like a bit of a McGuffin to me in terms of story, a quick and easy way to move the story along. So, as this blog continues and follows our narrator, it's going to become obvious he's not been taken by it. He has met the Patriarch, though he does not know the true horror of its monstrosity, being shrouded and cloaked but the encounter has left

"By this oath, I pledge to stand by thee, against traitor, beast, or fiend, for only in death does my duty end."

"We determine the guilty. We decide the punishment."- Adeptus Arbites

One of my favorite armies, over the years has been Adeptus Arbites. I have a small collection of Pewter Arbites single piece and the Necromunda V.2 multipiece somewhere. When the Palatine Enforcers were released I was like not a fan. Now we have proper plastic Arbites. I have a 1000 pt list planned: Inquisitor aka "Marshall" Ministorum Priest aka "Judge" 3 Vigiliant squads 1 Exaction Squad 2 Subductor Squad 3 Rhinos

A distant world, toiling under the yoke of oppression

There are three great Hive Cities on Prawa V: Prawa Prime, Prawa Secundus, and Prawa Ten Drugi. Ten Drugi is my home, the home of my brothers and sisters in the Miners' Guild of Shaft VII. The Imperial overseers rule with iron fists, their myriad bureaucrats ensconced within towering spires, tallying each unit of ore we rip from the rock. They ensure that every shortfall is met with punishment—banishment to the sands rather than execution. After all, our labour is vital for the sector, despite n

Weapon swaps and customization

Hi Folks, While waiting for the primer to dry on my Dwarves for the World that Was, I used the free time I had (due to rainy weather) on swapping weapons on some Magi I have for my AdMech. Customization and small kitbashes are a nice way to add some subtle differences for these highly standardized models. And it is far easier now that they are in plasteic rather then in lead or white metal... Ahh, nostalgy. of drilling with my first Dremel like tool, 20 years ago...

Welcome Flat Gulch - A Marshal never rides alone

Hi Folks, As a star bearing Marshal never rides alone, he comes down to town with his mobsters. A gang of black trench coated cyborgs fitted to sting you with their dart blasters. The kit bashed Marshal has been painted as per my now standardized paint scheme so that he (it?) fits in the aesthetic of the rest of the army. The Secutarii Peltasts were on my rooster for a while now. I took the opportunity of a big hole in my schedule in order to build

Wormwoods' Various Projects

Crusade - Game 5 - Down With The Sickness

CRUSADE GAME 5 - TAU VS DEATH GUARD A frank exchange of views. The third game day in our Crusade began with a more interesting set-up, at least! Outflank against @Agnostic Doggo's Death Guard, with me on the defence. Seems fine, right? Tau gunline, plenty of cover, but this was a rough, but enjoyable one. Lost, in the end, but a fine scuffle. Fully surrounded? Not with so many Scout/Infiltrate units! Bit cramped, innit? Sh

Necromunda: The Rampage of Hive Primus

The Forgeking has been killed. The underhive is in chaos. What little order that was has now been replaced with gangs warring to obtain a piece of his smoke Blackened empire... Hi all, I'd been thinking about getting into Necromunda for a long time, playing one game in ~2021 or so and getting mashed on a 2x2 board by some corpse grinders, when someone at my local club proposed a new campaign. About 6 of us were interested, and it took off from there. The star

The Strifes of the Matteus Subsector

"The absence of faith is the mark of the heretic."- Ephrael Stern

With the Adeptus Ministorum models coming out for Kill Team: Blood and Zeal, I may really need to revisit my Adepta Sororitas. With the amount of unpainted models and just the amount of models I have, I can either do them as 2 Orders or One giant order. The 2 Orders I would do are The Order of the Valorous Heart and Order of Our Martyred Lady. If I go with a single order it will be Valorous Heart. So I guess I need to build lists....and buy mor

Fanfiction Defence of Dakota Minor (884M41) II

+++ INTRODUCTION +++ The Defence of Dakota Minor was a series of conflicts in 884M41, that saw the Imperium defending the Matteus Subsector’s primary food provider against invaders. With only a token battlefleet and planetary defence force to protect it, Dakota Minor was expected to fall to the invaders in less than three months. Fortunately, intervention by local Astra Militarum regiments and the Adeptus Astartes saw the invasion quelled and the planet secured for the Imperium.
