The Black Legion represents the history of all the Heretic Astartes in the galaxy; cast from the light to return strengthened from the maws of hell. They are the legacy of the primarchs, remade into a new and terrible form. For better or for worse, the new legion of the long war is an even more distorted image of the mighty space marine hosts than many of the other traitors. Soldiers, corsairs, butchers, fanatics and everything in between can be found in equal measure among Abaddon's subordinates, yet one of the Warmaster's most renowned armies is made of men that consider themselves "true" legionaries. Corrupted in body, but not in mind, the warband known as the Dreadreavers is the echo of an age gone by. With boltguns in their hands and vengeance in their hearts, these warriors have been fighting at the forefront of the Long War to see the False Emperor fall. Hello! My name's Horrible, and this is my (slooooow) hobby thread, where I intend to write about the creation of my Heretic Astartes warband - the Dreadreavers, a Black Legion battlegroup that shares a large and unhealthy amount of similarities with the former 16th legion. Aside from pictures of conversions or semi-decent paintjobs, I also wanna take a little time to tell the stories of the characters and some of the units in the army. From their beginning as one of the more infamous companies of the Luna Wolves to the organisation of the warband they'd eventually become, I want touch upon everything. I'm not sure how active I'll end up being, but I hope to post regularly, so that there's something new to see here every other week. So stick around if I peeked your interest! I'll post the first few pictures soon.
