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”

Emperor’s Children 3rd Company ‘Cavalcade of Pain‘ vs Raven Guard 8th Talon Antigonus unleashed his 3rd Company on the sub-sector, ordering them to cause havoc and misery wherever they went.

General’s Corner – Sky Hunter Phalanx

Today I thought I would do a post covering a favourite RoW of mine and one you don’t see very often on the board, the Sky Hunter Phalanx.

Dok’s Shop – Jetbike Praetor

Just a quick post to show my current project, a Praetor on jetbike to lead my Sky Hunter Phalanx list. I was struggling for a while to think of a suitable model when the new Red Scorpions characters were suggested to me.

Roughly a year ago I got a 3×3 ZM board and its taken a while to get round to painting it! Slowly but surely we’re getting there, with 2×2 done and the rest nearly finished. We were keen to get a couple of games on the board though, and so decided to set the tilesContinue reading “Zone Mortalis”
