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 warlord to do? Look up the legion with the greatest history of infiltrating, that's what!

Thus, I decided to grab some Alpha Legionnaires. A squad of MkVI dudes with some leftover assault squad weapons and a couple of meltas will give me two Red Corsair Raider squads, and an AL Praetor will work fine for a Reave-Captain. So my little warband of Alpharius' finest is set there for the most part. The Whisper Host rises!

Beyond that, I decided to grab the Masters of the Maelstrom itself. I might use Huron eventually, or treat him as a painting project, but right now it is his hangers-on that I want for various leaders and such. I have a lot of Ebon Word leaders, but only three for the Shrikeborn so I thought that the Masters would make a good group to convert from. So-

Garreon the Corpse-Master: Will convert to a Shirkeborn Apothecary, used in-game as Fabius Bile.

Xenos pet Plunder: I'll try to add on some bits and bobs to make it a suitable surgery-acolyte for my Fabius.

Garlon Souleater: A pretty standard CSM Sorcerer, don't know if I want to have him in the Shrikeborn or the Whisper Host. 

Katar Garrix: Will become a Master of Executions for the Whisper Host I think, don't really know what else to do with him

Captain Sargotta: With a head swap, she will be a Traitor Enforcer, the head of the Still Order mortal fighters

The Enforcer: The Captain's "Ogryn" Bodyguard
