Everyone has to start somewhere but this is more of a return. I've always had a thing for the Chaos side of things since the Lost and the Damned books with the huge tables for gifts and mutations and different gods. Originally (probably because I was a lot younger), it was Khorne that caught my attention with the rage and love for martial prowess. But over time this changed. Not helped in any way by the old Index Astartes articles in White Dwarf. My eyes were opened to the truly horrific sides of two Legions in particular...Night Lords with their terror tactics (which still haven't fully been realised on the tabletop). The idea of a world being bombarded with psychological warfare before attacks really begin appealed for some strange reason. Then came the real evil side of Chaos...Emperors Children! Twisted, self satisfying, inhumane, and very individualistic. Khorne and his hack and slash ways just didn't cut it any more. Then A.D-B had to do the Night Lords books and Forge World had to do the Horus Heresy stuff. Time to attempt some EC and NL me thinks. So here's my attempt to get some Chaos minis completed and to keep me motivated while doing so. And here's where I'll begin... Call of Chaos 2013 I offered up one Chaos Lord and a squad of Noise Marines initially. And very nearly got started. But then a Kakophoni squad found it's way to me and frankly, they are amazing. The faces alone made me want to paint them. Everything starts somewhere and what better than taking a nice dip in something warm and bubbly to get you in the mood for a bit of work in the name of Slaanesh. Next step will be pins, bases, and undercoating. I always base my models before painting these days as I find painting them separately results in a better end result. With these I'm thinking along the lines of Isstvan V (and why not). Black ash, battle debris, and maybe a body part here and there. I'm also hoping to use them as noise Marines too so they may get a bit of individual work too as part of their journey to 40k. Part 1 has been pretty basic and a bit of an anti-climax I know. But, if you do have any ideas for bridging the 30k/40k gap. I'd love to hear them. Till next time, cheers for reading.

I remember... First, the wind came from the north. It caressed the faces with its warm fingers, yet it's touch was death. Many fell ill within hours. Some of them became raving madmans, tearing their flesh as the agony burned through their veins. But many more collapsed simply in the streets, diving into fel dreams - and the nightmares never let them go. Their minds were imprisoned into their dwindling bodies, and in the end the fever took them. The cries of those, who witnessed all this reached to the red skies, and the clouds washed their tears with black rain. Then a throng came. Howling hordes of creatures made from iron and flesh marched under ragged banners and unholy icons. With hand and weapons raised to the high they prayed to their cruel gods, offering them the lives of the worthless. Their vile tongues promised suffering and slaughter. The streets run red with blood, and the unblinking eye above them watched the carnage, what they brought to this world with an endless hunger. I remember the drawn blades, the burning homes, the stifling smoke, the darkness in the eyes, the emptiness in the heart after there where no more tears to cry. And then the horde went. The few of us, who was left thought, that the Omnissiah may listened to our prayers. We were wrong. The Gods came... I remember... but oh Deus Mechanicus take these memories away! Burn my mind and my soul and let me fade to the nothingness beyond the cold of your conciousness! I don't want to remember ... Greetings fellow Brothers and Sisters! After a very long time I started to work on my Adeptus Titanicus force! I planned to jump into the game at the end of last year, but life came and I had to put aside this project with all the others that were related to this hobby. But after long months I finally managed to make some space again for it - it was high time! I hope that you will accompany me on my journey in Adeptus Titanicus. I will be returning with more details soon
