Blood Greys Part 1: Heavy Metal Thunder

Hello Renegades and Heretics!    This is the model project of my heretical Astra Militarum, The Blood Grey's and there witch coven allies The Bloodspeakers. If you want to know about the lore of these group that I have cooked up click on the link below.  Bloody Grey's Lore     Back in the day, My brother and I would play Combat Patrol, but this wasn't the modern Combat Patrol that we have today. It was a small scale 400pts games meant to be played in about 40 mins. We th

Skull Brethren Part 7: State of the Horde

Hey guys,   So this is the currently state of the Skull Brethren or at least the finished painted models. It's about 40 infantry, 6 characters, about 5 armoured assets and a pair of spawn. Probably south of 2000pts but over 1500pts for sure. Now what isn't here:   20 built but not painted Khorne Berzerkers. I haven't built up the painting willpower to tackle them yet. Although they will become a priority soon as 11 edition looms  2 more Chaos Spawn. I do run a list th

Skull Brethren Part 6: Mere Mortals

Hey guys, back with the World Eaters again. This time we are looking at the small folk of the Skull Brethren. The Jakhal Cultists. I really liked the look of the Jakhals when they came out. They have a lot of character. Although they are a bit of a pain to build. Connecting those chains with the wrists with my ogre fingers was a bit frustrating.    In my warbands lore, The Skull Brethren uses lots of Jakhals. Draxxigor Bloodhowler is the mortal commander of the Skull Brethren, he's fa

Skull Brethren Part 5: The Forgotten

Have you ever wanted a unit to work in your army but never could? Like a unit or character that you love in the lore, but because the game, aren't able to make it work. I have this feeling about World Eaters Terminators. I love terminators, no doubt about it. When my brother bought box of 2nd edition loyalist terminators, they brought fear into my then Dark Eldar force. That thick 2+ save was a menace, until i got some  Incubi.    - When I started my World Eaters collection, I of c

The Dengamar Strife Part 1: Making War

Hello folks, sometimes I want to be creative, but I have nothing to paint or I'm not in the mood for painting. I'm not made of money. So even though I love building models, I can't justify going out and buying whatever I want. What's a creative wargamer to do?  Another hobby of my back in the day was Dungeons and Dragons. I don't play much currently, I still get the itch. When I did play D&D with my friends, I was the Dungeon Master 80% of the time. So I got a knack for building worlds and s

Skull Brethren Part 4: Blessed and Possessed

So when the World Eaters codex landed I was a little mixed about the eightbound. Maybe it was because we were hoping for Red Butcher Terminators, maybe it was because there's was too many teeth on the exalted eightbound's armour. They have grown on me since then.  They kinda fit in a strange role as the world eater possessed as the specialist assault unit. With regular eightbound being heavy infantry killers and the exalted kin being monster and tank hunters. I typically run 2x3

Skull Brethren Part 3: The Price of Failure

Chaos is basically gambling with your soul. Bet big and you might become a Daemon Prince. Lose on that bet and some real bad things can happen to you. You are also betting against your battle brothers. Each of you are trying  to survive but also trying to  gain favor of Chaos Gods. World Eaters with the butcher's nails, are always compelled towards violence.  Some say that Chaos is a ladder, so lets look a the bottom rung.    Helbrute lore is fun.  It's a punishment, you failed and you

Skull Brethren Part 2: Rogues Gallery

So again, I love me some characters and my World Eaters have had quite a  few over the years. Since 3rd edition my army has gone through many lords, champions and supporting fellows. There's also too many to count and recall. So I have all of my current heroes (or should I say villains) Ah, the true OG. Khârn the Betrayer. I did have the old school 2nd edition Khârn back in the day. That model was the first model I had "commissioned" when a friend of my mine painted it for me as a birt

Skull Brethren Part 1: The Ship of Theseus

Hello followers of the Dark Gods! I have been a World Eaters Player since, I want to say 1998., so almost 30 years. Over the years I have bought, sold and traded for models. My warband has gone through many name changes, The Blood Vultures (When my warband used an ungodly amount of raptors) The Crimson Butchers (When my warband was a Chaos Soup army, with daemons and Traitor Guard units) and now we have settle on The Skull Brethren for 9th, 10th and probably 11th edition. The army has ballooned

Loxodon Guard Part 7: Looking Ahead

So this is where the collection stands currently, It about 60 infantry and characters and 4 Dreadnoughts.  I think I got the Space Marine bug. They are super easy to build and paint. there a lot of character that you have give them also.    What's next for them? I do want another Apothecary, I might get a Redemptor Dreadnought and jazz him up for a "Titan Father". If GW makes a Venerable Redemptor Dreadnought I will hop on that one. I also have an idea for a Chapter Master, using a Pra

Loxodon Guard Part 6: Titan Brothers

So one of the guiding themes of the Loxodon Guard was that they respected Resilience and Experience. Which made me gravitate towards the Dreadnoughts. As being interred into a Dreadnought is kind of the ultimate expression of "Only in Death Does Duty End" motto. So I choose to feature Redemptor Dreadnoughts heavily in the army. The Loxodon Guard view the "Titan Brothers" in high esteem. Each echelon (aka company) is given 5 Primaris Dreadnoughts. The oldest dreadnought is referred to as the "Tit

Loxodon Guard Part 5: Putting the Guard in Loxodon Guard

So when the release of the primaris line in 2017(?) I was on board unlike some people. I remember seeing the Horus Hersey 32mm MkIII models at my local gaming shop and saying "Man, these guys would look great for 40k". Was the release of the primaris the best way to go at the line refresh? Well hindsight is 20/20. It got me to start an army.    When I started the Loxodon Guard, one of the first purchases was the Deathwatch Combat Patrol box. I think I mostly wanted it for the Apothecar

Loxodon Guard Part 4: Covert Actors

I have a soft spot for snipers. When I recently brainstorm ideas for short stories 3 out of the 10 ideas I came up with had snipers feature in this as the main character. I also have soft spot of the assassins and all things Officio Assasinorum. I remember when the 3rd edition Codex: Assassins was released.  My brother and I pick up the both the Vindicare and Callidus assasins. Those models have long since sold off. But I did pick up the current Callidus assassin model  Gwenthar Mor, 

Loxodon Guard Part 3: Even More Characters

Yup I got even more characters for ya.  Soonrem “True Heart”  Thron, Apothecary for the 2nd Echelon. I accidentally broke off the hanging bit that usually in his left hand.  Drom “Sabretooth”Hel,  Master of Sanctity of the Loxodon Guard. I went with the execrator chaplain model for this guy. I'm not a fan of the current primaris chaplain model, this guy looks so much more dynamic. Also there's not a lot of Black Templar icons on him, so I think he fits nicely.   

Loxodon Guard Part 2: Concepts and Characters

Coming up with army lists and character concepts is one of the most enjoyable parts of this hobby for me. When I was working on my little kill team I went through a few ideas. First, I wanted to incorporate white into the colour scheme. Since my 3 other armies didn't have any white. So armies like Raven Guard and White Scars came to mind.   I ultimately chose a homebrew chapter because like most people who do homebrews, I didn't want to be tied down to a set of rules or fluff. Then I s

Loxodon Guard Part 1: In the Beginning...

Have you ever pick up a project based whim? or maybe you were given some models from a loved one and continued on with it?    My Space Marine project started when I won a raffle at my FLGS. my prize was a plastic bag that had a few random sprues in it. I remember there was some Mk3 Horus Hersey Marines, a Beastmen Shaman, a Imperial Guard Commissar (the older one with the plasma pistol & sabre) and 5 Intercessors. I didn't think much of my prize at the time. Until the pandemic hit
