Warleader Fingil Bloodfist was one of the most infamous and feared commanders that the 4th Household ever had. After he proclaimed himself Chapter Master of the Marines Adamant, his fellow Warleaders revolted, turning their weapons against him in a brutal assassination attempt.
Though Fingil lost his grip on the position of Warlord, his bloody-minded stubbornness kept him clinging to life. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Chapter, the Iron and Flesh Wyrds of the 4th Household had his r
So, another update!
This time I've been working on one of the units that will be taken from C:SM, a squad of Hellblasters. However, considering that the army will have a more Firstborn feel to them, I decided to make them as a ‘Plasma Support Squad’! I also wanted the squad members to keep the more individual feel of the counts-as Grey Hunter units, so I mixed up the types of plasma weapons, though this is just an aesthetic choice - they're all standard Hellblasters in the list.
Hello all,
So, for this blog post I've been perusing Codex SW and thinking about list building.
A lot of the units in the list below would be counts-as of one form or another (for example, the Fenrisian Wolves will be Servitors and the Gladiator Lancer will be represented by a Sicaran Venator), but for the purposes of this post I figured I'd keep it simple by focusing on what stuff will be in game terms.
It's not intended as mega competitive, but just a fun li
The Flesh Wyrds of the Marines Adamant are skilled apothecaries and genewrights. Given the independent nature of the Households - each one responsible for its own recruitment and implantation procedures - these masters of Astartes biology are vital to the continued existence of the Clan Companies, and of the Chapter as a whole. As such they are highly respected, a key part of each Warleader's command headquarters. Usually at least one of the Flesh Wyrds from each Company will have a seat when th
The Spirit Wyrds, colloquially known by many of the Marines Adamant Clans as ‘Storm Walkers’ or ‘Speakers of the Mists’, form the Chapter's Librarius. As such, they are powerful psykers, attuned to the mysteries of the Empyrean and the ways of the countless vaettir of Halstarrig.
The Storm Walkers usually dwell in voluntary isolation from the rest of their brethren on Halstarrig's second moon, and are not technically considered as part of the Chapter's command structure, each Wyrd in
Hello again,
So, first up, a second squad of Grey Hunters (I know most think they are overpriced for what they bring, but this isn't really a gaming army, just a chance to paint what I think will look cool - and Marine infantry is cool)
As with the first squad, I've tried to create a mix of bits to evoke both their IH heritage (bionics and techy stuff) and their homeworld Halstarrig (feral bits, charms, teeth, etc). I've also used bits and a few conversions to
Hello all,
So, I've decided to start a new blog for a new project. (My previous army of Celebrants Chapter Space Marines isn't quite finished, as I still have a few squads to complete. They are all WIP, but to be honest I needed a break from painting yellow/orange/red!)
So, for the Knives in the Shadows Kill Team Challenge this year I decided to go back to one of my DIY Chapters, the Marines Adamant. I tried a new technique of oil pin washing, and I was happy with the res
