Orks in the Age of Darkness

Where to go with 40k?

(Wherein the author discovers that the Horus Heresy ruleset is more to his liking, even if Orks aren't officially supported)   So, earlier this year, around January, I came to the realization that I was burnt out on keeping up with the Space Marine releases. The more that came out, the less I wanted to have anything to do with them; I was just buying them to have. I also admitted to myself that I didn't really like the lore changes that GW's team were applying to the game - this isn't

The Havenesse Spiral Campaign - A Fresh Infusion

A Fresh Infusion   The Strike Cruiser Retribution emerged from the Immaterium, warp-lightning flickering over the Geller field as it dissipated. Her colours were somewhat scarred, but the deep crimson was mostly clear, and the Chapter emblem of the Blood Ravens stood proud on the flanks of the vessel. Bow thrusters reoriented the Retribution star-ward, and the main drives pulsed to life, pushing away from the Mandeville Point, towards the mysterious rendezvous in-system. Chief Apotheca

The Havenesse Spiral Campaign - Sub-sector Description

Alongside my Great Repaintening, I wanted to exercise other creative outlets - thus, the Havenesse Spiral sub-sector. I envisioned it as a personal slice of the galaxy where I could lay out campaigns, stories, and so on. The Crusade/Narrative way to play should have been right up my alley, and really helped build out the sub-sector, but it never quite gelled for me. Perhaps the new edition will provide a spark?   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Great Repaintening - Demi-company completed

So, towards the end of 2019, I did get the demi-company out for a little photoshoot, and I started work on the other demi-company, but then the pandemic hit hard. A lot of things were derailed for me, and GW has only continued to push out more Space Marines. I don't fully know what's next for the Great Repaintening, but it has been an exceedingly long 2020...   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   So, the second

The Great Repaintening - between the ETLs

Of course, the ETLs weren't the only time I got things painted - after 2018, I did manage to keep some momentum going.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I meant to get these pics of my Librarian up sooner, but better late than never! I've also finished this Tactical Squad earlier today:   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Great Repaintening - the ETLs

In the before times, Captain Semper ran a yearly painting challenge "E Tenebrae Lux" where all Frater were encouraged to paint units for bragging rights between the various sub-forums. I participated in a couple with my Blood Ravens.    Here are the "after" shots of the completed units   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2018) Here's the whole army, as it stands: Here's the Captain, Lieutenan

The Great Repaintening - the original backlog

Ahhh, the backlog, the pile of shame, the collection of potential... This is what I wanted to add to my army, all nicely sorted and laid out. And then GW launched a whole new Space Marine line.  The pile grows... the backlog hungers...   I don't know that I'll add all of these to my Marines now, some might get left aside for other projects, but we'll see.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, the a

The Great Repaintening - the original starting point

A number of years ago (in 2018) I decided to listen to the whispers of madness - I had noticeably better painting skills, and felt I could repaint my Space Marines. I haven't really worked on my Blood Ravens since about the start of the pandemic, as I could not get a handle on 9th edition, but with the call of a new edition, I'm starting to get the itch to revisit my marines.  Below is the inaugural post in my original thread.   ---------------------------------------------------------
