Davinite Lodge Priest, Demagoge of the Serpent Lodge, Avatar of Azhak'zhajaa'rhil

In the long years of separation from Terra during the Age of Strife, the inhabitants of Davin (or Homo Afarensis as called by the Magos Biologis) physically altered from the baseline human norm. They became taller and more sinuous and their features more bestial. Their pupils grew until they filled most of their red eyes.

In the aftermath of the events on Davin, many Davinites took part in an exodus to the stars - these twisted abhuman magos and demagogues each were part of one of the animist and totemic warrior and mystic cults of Davin. Of these, one of the most commonly encountered were initiates of the so-called Serpent Lodge, but numerous other were also recorded.

The warrior lodge priests appeared to serve a higher interest than the individual Warp Cults they often followed into battle, and may have been acting in concert with certain conspirators at the highest levels of the Traitors' leadership, in particular the Dark Apostles of the Word Bearers.

While some lodge priests served as advisors in matters of prophecy and the Warp, others acted as high priests under whom multiple cult bodies could be gathered together. All were schooled in the darkest arts of warp craft and were able to call upon and wield the most terrible of warp-born powers and aberrant psyker abilities, making them one of the most dangerous of the Warmaster's allies ....

"Belle,

There's a demon inside her who came from hell

And he turned my eyes from God and oh... I fell

He put this heat inside me I'm ashamed to tell

Without my God inside I'm just a burning shell"

Nice updates. Ushknub looks particularly disturbing.

Word Bearers Legion Tactical Support Squad Cal

Chapter of the Graven Star

Legion Tactical Support Squads were mobile fire-support units that replaced the utilitarian Bolter of their comrades with more specialised weapons, enabling them to cope with particular battlefield threats or enemies. Operating in close order with the Legion's other troops, the Tactical Support Squad's firepower enabled a battlefield strike force of Space Marines to act with even more versatility and engage a wider range of targets on its own terms.

Plasma Weapons, as shown with this unit, were used against the most heavily armoured and monstrous enemies. The Chapter of the Graven Star used a high number of Support Squads alongside their Breachers and Tactical Squads, their weapons especially deadly in so called "Zone Mortalis" battlefields.

Tactical Support Squad Cal. Note: Heavy customised Power Armour, mostly mix of Mark IV and Mark V. Ryza pattern plasmaguns, late Crusade era production.

Sergeant Micael Cal. Note: Black helmet denotes veteran status. Ryza "sunspite" pattern plasmapistol. Customised production Mark V pattern Power Armour - source unknown, probably delivered by the traitor Mechanicum before the outbrake of the Heresy.

Great work on the squad Atia. The red looks really good. Also like the silver on the faceplate. :TU:

[Col.hertford]

These look cool. Is the glow effect airbrushed?
