+ ROGUE TRADER: SOLO PLAY CAMPAIGN + ++ BLOOD AND CARRION ++ (DISCUSSION & OOC THREAD) Premise: BaC is a Rogue Trader-based RPG Solo Player campaign where the GM and the Individual PC interact on a 1-2-1 basis, undertaking an adventure that is essentially on-rails. However, unlike the DW:SP this is a narrative-driven adventure that performs on Structured Time Light where combat is involved. The Player will be deemed to capture Priority in all combat circumstances. RPG Solo Play is intended to provide Players who are otherwise at a loose end with something to engage them in the Nook, where they are not already enrolled onto a Campaign Roster. You know how this works. It is also kind to me as GM since my time is limited. Execution: There is no progression. This is an RPG focussed, investigative, hopefully grim-dark, Evil campaign. That's right - bad guys, and this time around, it's Xenos. Mechanical rules are there to support story, not interfere with it. The PC build will be mostly GM dictated, but the personality is up to the player. No Character Threads will be opened. The Solo Player is encouraged to make their Character Bio the first post in response to this opener in order to keep the footprint minimal. This is intended as a one-shot. A Chargen Sheet will be made at some point, for interaction reference. Campaign Considerations: This is intended to be a dark game. Viewer discretion is advised. Roster: Player: @Xin Ceithan Chosen Player Race: Drukhari. Chosen 'Specialisation': Dracon of the (Insert name here, Xin) Cabal Position: Master of Hellfyre Carousel (A ragged port city in the bowels of Commoragh, wherein dwell the wicked and profane)...

... well probably, or at least for a while. Hi Folks, A little big small update on my Drukhari force. Initially designed to be used as Ynnari units only the death of the Aeldarii index (caused by the release of the Codex) led to declassing of many unit options. And left me with as much units that could not be fielded along Crafworlders than units than could. This seeded the idea of compelting the army to a minimum size, big enough to be playable without any kind of objective and purpose than having a good time. So no or almost no META optimization. The last units were painted as entries for CtA25: They completed nicely the other units and brought me to this: 1210 pts of Dark kins (as per MUNITORUM FIELD MANUAL rev 03) and 330 Harlies. A nice small force indeed. And a serious pause now for my wallet. Next step will therefore be a focus on my other minis in the waiting line: Craftworlders, AM and AdMech. See you later

Hi Folks, This second week ends up with 2 completed units: the Kabalites (Hand of the Archon) and the kitbashed Archon. Some close ups of the Kabalites: The scheme is going to be reproduced once again on the crew members for the Venoms. The Archon (also aligne din the Master of the Forge subchallenge) is based on a kit bash from a GSC Magus: The Venom motojets will be my next unit to be completed in the challenge I guess. These are already quite advanced in the process: Let's see if I can get these a little bit more advanced in the second half of July. See you.

Hi Folks, Some 5 days after the kick-off of CtA25, I have managed some serious progress on my first units enlisted in my Xenos' pledge. Kabalites bodies are now completed and the kit bashed Archon may probably require only a few corrective touches of 0000 brushed plus basing. You can see bellow that I did not changed my scheme and sticked to the Arkhelian blue. Sorry, it is supposed to be a green. Next step will be heads and weapons. The Archon (based on the GSC femal magus with very little swaps) is quite distinct. This so-called follower of Ynnari will be useful either as a converted Wytche Maiden or a devoted Farseer. Multipurpose character. Pic is not that great and too dark. anyway, I will try to take a better one once the model will be finished, basing included... That's all for the moment. More work in perspective. I have just made the barbed wire floors of the vehicles and set a first layer of Incubi Darkness on the caracasses of the Venoms. More latter i.e. in a few days. See you.

Hi Folks, While the countdown to CtA25 launch date is slowly but surely reducing, it has been time to revisit my list of stuff available for being enlisted. As I am still in the queue for some bases ordered, stuff I need in order to progress on my Corsairs kitbashes (a contribution likely to reach 30/35 pts easily within a more global 70 pts and something of Aeldarii) I have decided to phase my vows in a different order. The first key decision is to go Drukhari. And all my other Xenos vows will compute there too. My first vow will be based on the material accumulated and some recent additions (A Succubus and a Venom). Let’s see: - 10 Wytches - 10 Kabalites (Hand of the archon KT box) - The kit bashed Archon I showed previously here: Ynnari Priestess - a quick kitbash - Pointy and Spiky - The Bolter and Chainsword - The Succubus forementioned - 1 Raider - 2 Venoms out of which the one recently bought. Grand total: 44 Pts. Or something like that, as I have to check out how much points are loaded on the various vehicles. NB: 2 Kabalites are in the plastic bags I could wait for the delivery man, but I am not willing to postpone my June paintjob too much. Indeed, summertime is somehow susceptible to be quite busy and leave me with less hobby time than expected. Said otherwise, there are good chances that what has not been painted in June will not be painted this season at all. Just with that list I may have something like 1 month busy on the workbench, knowing that I usually complete approx. 1 unit a week on average. Should the production rate be that one, it is rather a 7 weeks load, i.e. up to end of July. There are anyway shortcut and time saving approaches: I have already painted Kabalites and built a Raider, so I can save time as I do not have top test schemes and as I am aware of the best strategies for the vehicle building. Even if in the latter case it might be a tad different as I plan to use the crew of the Venoms to get a Wytches’ operated boarding boat, while the Kabalites will take place in the Venoms jetbikes. And if I go Wytches for the raider, I might affect the paint scheme of the vehicle to, in order to get something more edge cutting. May be a bicolor scheme with a reddish (something like the scheme of iamluketaylor but may be reversed) or bonish prow instead of a full Incubi Darkness hull? Unless I play on panel lining only going to the quite usual red used on GW schemes? Or I go to a simple chevron band and a red sail… I still have to give it a though. Or two. I will then shift to Corsairs/Aeldarii reinforcements or GSC once the first bunch of miniatures will have been done. The latter just grew up of 2 pts thanks to 2 additional spore mines found back. I have also gathered enough bits and crates to build up a new pile of scrap/Scenery worth a few points. And what about the rest of the Pile of Shame? Well, my not-GSC/Astra Militarum home made Regiment has not bee kitbashed yet. And my AdMechs are primed but I am still not in the mood to paint them: I will bring me too close of completion of a force I invested a lot of myself into, so I prefer postponing this moment just a little bit. After all, I have just finished painting my OldWorld dwarf army accumulated over 20 years this weekend and the milestone is a little bit bitter: “what’s next?” is what prevails. Such a feeling I am not willing to experience again too soon. Even if it is only a matter of postponing for a few months… See you in a few days when I will have started working on this pledge.

LOOK AT THIS!!!! Saw in this thread over on reddit, Looks like two face options, one with a veil and one without, a little bit of a shame the head isn't the usual socket thing but I can live with it. I was really expecting a plastic Urien Rakarth to be the next character for Drukhari but this is great, both would be really nice of course. It's always possible the Drukhari release will just be this model and the codex but having seen this has made me more hopeful and excited even thought we are still some ways off given the Roadmap.

Comes both in Standard and Special Editions. Nice to have another dive into Commoraghian politics.

Threw this together via bitz I had: archon, void weaver, and death jester kits. I'll run this model as a character in my corsairs army. Sort of a death jester homage. I hope to get it primed this week but have no idea when I'll get started on the paint phase. Thanks for looking.
