6 997 009.M31 – Background to the Invasion For months the Loyalists have been on the back foot in the Xyphos Sub-sector – dealing with traitor attacks on a score of worlds such as Eryndor V, Iydris and Moross. But they have not been idle. Under command of Lord-Marshall Horatio Octavian II the Loyalists haveContinue reading “Dicing with Death – Operation Ironclad Part 1”

Dicing with Death – Moross Lives
Played a couple of linked games with our friends @hereticalarchitect and @mysterion_painting. With thanks to their contributions to this blog too – check them out on Instagram. While the Loyalists were able to successfully extract General Sheev Verox from the outskirts of Nova Kharkiv, they still pulled back from the ferocity of the Traitors’ initialContinue reading “Dicing with Death – Moross Lives”
Warzone Xyphos: Minor Astartes presence
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”
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”
Dok’s Shop – Traitor Solar Auxilia
Hi everyone! As part of WIPWednesday, I thought I would do an article on my traitor Solar Auxilia commander squad. Concept I love my Solar Auxilia and have put some effort into creating fluff for the force as loyalists (which you can find here and here). The problem is most of my friends also playContinue reading “Dok’s Shop – Traitor Solar Auxilia”
Primus-Strategos Blazaar Dymov

This makes him perhaps the fourth most important person in the fleet, after Horatio Octavian II, his second in command Fleet Marshall Djev, and the commander of 1st Army Group General Sheev Verox. Background Born on Phylandriankier, Dymov was one of 63 children hostages handedContinue reading “Primus-Strategos Blazaar Dymov”
