The Gren'dal

I am the fury of the unspoken Word I am Anointed, by my Father's hand Blood and bone, skulls and skin, are my sacraments   Let those I slaughter be sanctified by my blades Let their souls gladden Lorgar and Karneth Chaos the Undivided will be my guide   Ebon Word am I pledged Ebon Word am I bound For I am the Gren'dal, the furious death waiting - the Gren'dal     The Gren’dal Lord of the Iron Canticle

Painting Progress 2 - Word Bearers done

Finally finished off my Word Bearers by getting all of the characters completed. I'll start going through the various individual blogs to update them with the pics later today, but for now I'll simply post all of the finished stuff right now. I also managed to start on the Night Lords portion of the force by getting the Howlbrood cultists done.    Up next, I'll begin working on three items. First up, I have a couple of projects to do for a FLGS painting competition in December. The fir

Korzhu

Claxons ring out. Boarding alarms. Enemies who have pushed past meters-thick armor to infest the corridors of her ship.   The Navarch moved her teams forward in a rush of hushed motion. Blades were drawn, rifles readied. Maked figures slipped into crevices and box junctions; prepared positions set into the ship's decks to provide cover and concealment for its defenders. Hand signals put heavy weapons into optimal ambush patterns, while coded vox clicks informed the sirdars of the Howlb

Veyr the Cipher

"Tell me your thoughts."   "Show me your dreams."   "I will find the secrets you wish to keep hidden, both the important knowledge you know and the petty lies you tell. All are the same to me, information to be gleaned from you. All shall be given to the Host, to be recorded and analyzed. Your life, your hopes and fear, merely datapoints in a long series of data inputs to be logged. Your entire existence is of little import to the False Imperium, but to us it can be of great

Vaelen Mordris

The blood flowed from implantation wounds, drained through channels in the surgical bed to caches below. The smell of blood and offal hung in the air, competing with disinfectant and harsh chemical cleaners. This place was unlike any other aboard the Umbra Vos- bright light beamed overhead, illuminating the proceedings in a manner most different from the rest of the ship.   Here was where Astartes were created, repaired, and harvested from. The light, so shunned by the other Shrikeborn

The Whisper Host

Alibi. Ibi. Sumus. Elsewhere, there we are.     The Whisper Host   Warband of the Alpha Legion Commander: Caligos Nyth the Veilmaker Doctrine: Infiltration, subversion, intelligence-gathering   Among the countless fractured descendants of the Alpha Legion, the Whisper Host is notable not for its strength but for its scarcity. The warband numbers only a handful of Legionaries, supported by a shifting network of mortal agents, smugglers, informants

Adding in the Alpha Legion and some others

An update, an update!    I've decided that I need some more Chaos in my life and that the Ebon Word/Shrikeborn need some friends. I was looking over the Red Corsair rules and rather like them, especially since CSM don't have any other Infiltrating units. While I like the rules and I think the models are ok, they just don't really fit with the aesthetics of the force I have already, being more modern and a force of renegades rather than older legion warriors. So what is a budding warlor

Kharvex

Long lost was the path of joining Scripture and oath scattered, kneeling prayer abandoned Truth found in steel and bone   Silent now burns the ashes of suffering souls Etched ruins of control, daemon screams into the void Forging with hatred, with Truth   New-birth sealed into ancient bones Bitter blood dripping into slavering mouths Fervent chants baptize those that hunt   Kharvex Daemonsmith, Corruptor of Iron

Building the final units (Ninth Verse, Pale Wake, Orren Malith)

The final building portion of my CSM journey has been completed! Got the bits to make the Ninth Verse Chosen for the Ebon Word, and the Pale Wake Legionaries and Orren Malith the Dark Apostle for the Shrikeborn. Once my Votann are finished (down to a Land Fortress, 2 Sagitaurs, and a Grimnyr), I should be starting on these bad boys.   The Ninth Verse Chosen of the Ebon Word, decided to make them very much Iconoclasts and destroyers of the Imperial Lie, so all armed with smas

TO&E of my Chaos Marines

Just a quick layout of my current, in-progress units for my CSM. Leaders will have what they are in-game after their name/title, units will have their loadouts after their name. Sub-leaders are two categories- for the Ebon Word they are members of a kill-team/trainee-style leaders that do not have full lore breakdowns. For the Shrikeborn, sub-leaders are unit champions who will have full lore breakdowns. The split comes because the Ebon Word is very character/leader-heavy, where the Shrikeborn h

The Ninth Verse

They advance as if the air itself were listening each footfall a syllable, each breath a vow No haste, no fury only the cold cadence of certainty A choir that knows the ending before the first note sounds.   Blades rise like scripture being recited bolters speak in measured, punishing refrain Where the Ninth Verse strides, doubt curdles into terror they do not fight to win but to affirm what they already believe.   The Ninth Verse C
