Lists for the List God: Bloody Greys 2026

So my last post was about the list plans for my World Eaters warband the Skull Brethren. Now we are going to look at the my traitor guard army, The Bloody Greys. Like I said in my World Eaters entry, I don't play super competitive, but I welcoming to any suggestions or ideas. Astra Militarum is probably my least played army, or at least my knowledge of what's good and what's bad is probably the lowest out of my four projects. So here we go! Imperium - Astra Militarum - Grizzled Compa

Lists for the List God: The Skull Brethren 2026

With the points now out and 11th edition in full swing. I have been list crafting my butt off and I have some thoughts to share about where my projects. My method was to make 2 lists out of my current 4 armies: Space Marines, Tyranids, Astra Militarum and World Eaters. With the new detachments rules, it leaves a lot of room for experimentation. I usually don't play hyper competitive and if I can, I try to play with the current models that I have in my collection when possible. So first we are go

Hive Fleet Asmodeus Part 1: Vanguard Bugs

Hello fellow future biomass! The arrival of Hive Fleet Asmodeus is here. Tyranids are my largest army in terms of plastic. The army takes up 2 bookshelves in my book case. I started collecting them around 2004-2005ish era. I started with 20 genestealers and 2 Zoanthropes as a little combat partol back in the day. The collection didn't really take off until 2010ish, where I sold off my brother's Imperial Guard Armoured Company and reinvested back into the bugs. Hive Fleet Asmodeus ten

11th edition is calling

So with Games Workshop releasing all of the detachments points and mission dispositions. I can now start planning out some of my armies. Generally I pick two flavors to run a army.

Blood Greys Part 3: Bring it Down!

Hey guys!, back with some more traitor guard minis. This time with some heavy weapon teams Back in the day, (like 9th edition i think) you were able to field heavy weapon team inside of infantry squads. So I got 4 teams to put in my infantry squads. You can see the older gun on the right, with its power pack on the ground. With 10 edition, they removed the heavy weapons from infantry squads, they also removed the generic infantry squad for the more famed regiments.

Blood Greys Part 2: Followers of the Blood

Hello Traitors and Villains So If you have been following the lore of the Bloody Grey (if not click here ), you'll know that the Blood Grey were once known as The Grey Regulars. Their corruption happen at the hands of The Blood Speaker Cult (More lore click here ) the Cliffsnotes version is that The Bloodspeakers are a secret cult that has operated along time on the planet Dengamar Prime. Trying to influence Dengamar’s ruling houses, often through subtle means like dream implantatio

Skull Brethren Part 8: It's not hard, its just brain surgery

Hello guys! just a small update on my World Eaters... I bought it, it arrived monday but I haven't gotten my hands on proper until today. I'm not sure if this is my largest kit I have bought. I think my Tyrannofex is bigger, but this has been one of the harder builds I have done at least in recent memory. The lower torso, the place where are the legs attach was difficult for me. If anyone asks, I'm going to say the World Eaters build this one, and they are not known for the engineerin

Brassclaw's Blatherings

New edition, new army...maybe?

So with the dawn of 11th edition Warhammer 40,000 coming this June. I have been pondering about maybe starting a new project. My Tyranids are basically done, I probably won't be adding more unless there's some drastic changes. My Space Marines and World Eaters are in playable states, they might get some additional stuff but I'm in no rush to complete them fully. My traitor guard are kinda in a holding pattern state. I ordered some non GW traitor guard infantry from game found (similar to Kicksta

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
