Whilst the Emperor’s Children, Raven Guard and Salamanders represented the bulk of the Legiones Astartes presence, detachments of marines and even individual battle-brothers from all the legions were present during the war in Xyphos. The following report prepared at the request of Ghe Ven Ha, Supreme Grand Treasurer of the Xyphoneian Ministry for Logistic Affairs,Continue reading “Warzone Xyphos: Minor Astartes presence”

Dicing with Death: The Trap on Moross
Moross became a frontline system following the Traitors’ conquering of the Perditian and Zeugan systems in Xyphos. The planet was deemed a possible vector for a traitor assault and so by early 009.M31 it had a reasonable garrison including Ultramarines of the 77th Company. Additionally, 19th Corps from 216th Expeditionary Fleet was planetside, acting asContinue reading “Dicing with Death: The Trap on Moross”
Dok’s Shop – Chapter Master Arrias Cordos
Given the Ultramarines legion went on to found so many chapters I wanted my 30k force to represent one such chapter. I could then tease that chapter’s history into its part of the wider legion (like FW did with the Aurora and Nemesis chapters) to show the kernals of the chapter that would become. InContinue reading “Dok’s Shop – Chapter Master Arrias Cordos”
Brushing Up: Gaunt’s Ghosts Speedpaint
Stu’s first foray into clearing his backlog with some quicker techniques I get a lot of abuse for being a slow painter – and it’s (mostly) warranted. A combination of a lack of time and a tendency to spend ages trying to get the perfect paint job means that there’s a lot of unfinished modelsContinue reading “Brushing Up: Gaunt’s Ghosts Speedpaint”
Dicing with Death – War on Eryndor V
Esteemed Lord-Marshall, you asked me to prepare a dossier on the ongoing war on Eryndor V in the Ansham System. I have provided several sources below, but the overall tactical summary is that the strategic position has become more complicated, with forces from several legions now engaged on the planet. Given the importance of theContinue reading “Dicing with Death – War on Eryndor V”
Dok’s Shop – Ultramarines Nemesis Destroyers
“Our recon forces have confirmed the Fleet’s intelligence report. Lorgar is here.” The room stilled at this dire news and all bar one of the assembled Ultramarine officers were silent. Sergeant Taius Macrian’s pacing continued unaffected, his fists clenching so hard his suit’s servos were straining under the effort. “Well what is there to discuss?Continue reading “Dok’s Shop – Ultramarines Nemesis Destroyers”
Dok’s Shop – Lucifer Blacks
Hi everyone, I’ve been picking up GW’s monthly minis for a while now, converting them into different Militia units, such as the 710th Ironbacks. When the scout model was announced I thought it would make a good ‘elite’ unit with carapace armour. Concept I then thought it would be fun to model up a LuciferContinue reading “Dok’s Shop – Lucifer Blacks”
Magic the Gathering Secret Santa
With a rare meet up for the three of us earlier this month, we decided to do a MTG deck secret Santa this year, with each of us building a deck for someone else in the trio. The only stipulations were: We thought it would be fun to explain and give some tips on budgetContinue reading “Magic the Gathering Secret Santa”
Midnight Moon Madness – Adventures in Marvel Crisis Protocol,
We met up recently and managed to squeeze in some MCP games. Neither of us have played in a while and were trying out new rosters. We tried to brief each other, including confirming that neither of us had any throws with our characters. Turns out we were both very wrong and, as you willContinue reading “Midnight Moon Madness – Adventures in Marvel Crisis Protocol,”
Digging in – Siege of Vraks preparations
As we’ve posted before on our blog, we love the Siege of Vraks. We always planned on doing a bunch of Vraks themed projects this year, but it also coincidences nicely (and totally coincidentally) with a campaign being run of the Vets of Vraks Facebook group. We thought we would set out a few bitsContinue reading “Digging in – Siege of Vraks preparations”
