Whenever I would get an idea for a conversion project but I didn't want to start an army, I would make a kill team. I used to be really hung up on the idea that everything I made had to be game legal and WYSIWYG. Otherwise what's the point of making it? But as the... Continue Reading →
Crusade Week: ROGAL DORN!
Here's my kitbashed Rogal Dorn in Black Templars armor. He's really old so insert boilerplate "I like this kitbash but the paintjob is atrocious." His body is based on Guilliman from Forgeworld. Since Dorn lost his hand, I gave him a robot hand from House Orlock. And to make him count as Guilliman in 40k,... Continue Reading →
Crusade Week: Castellan
Another prime example of my early hobby era: I love this kitbash but I hate the paintjob. I'll probably touch this guy up when I jump back on my Black Templars project because I just love the way he turned out. His legs are from the Skullreapers of Khorne from Aos, his torso is some...

Crusade Week: Chaplain
This guy isn't any specific character in the story of the Calixis Crusade. I just wanted to have a chaplain model for every possible loadout because I love chaplains. This guy is based on the excellent Zardu Layak sculpt. Which is ironic considering the Word Bearers are the mortal enemies of the Calixis Crusade.
Crusade Week: Emperor’s Champion
This is my old truescale Emperor's Champion. The Calixis Crusade venerates their Emperor's Champions as living saints. When the great rift opened, the navigators aboard their strike cruiser all perished. So now they plunge in and out of the warp, following the visions of their Emperor's Champions as they hunt the enemies of the God... Continue Reading →
Crusade Week: “High Marshal” Gerhardt
This is Gerhardt, the Marshal of the Calixis Crusade. I made him before Black Templars got their range refresh. He was meant to be a counts-as High Marshal Helbrecht because I wanted an all truescale army. And the old Helbrecht is...well he's not a tall man. The story for this guy can be found in...

Crusade Week: Techmarines
FINALLY getting around to posting some Black Templars. They were my first army and they're the reason my blog and instagram are called Calixis Crusade. If you're interested, you can check out the lore I've been writing for them. But today I'm talking about my Grimdark Techmarines. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6lbPzyDzkRo I wanted this first one to come... Continue Reading →
W.I.P. Wednesday: Slaanesh Warriors
These are my chaos warriors with the Mark of Slaanesh. I'm pretty proud of these guys. My design principles for them were: lots of pelts, smooth armor, tall proportions, exposed skin, and exotic weaponry. I also wanted to not have any horned helmets, but the banner bearer has them because I was one helmet short!... Continue Reading →
Showcase: Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount!
Being a newer model, this guy showcases my new color scheme for chaos undivided a little bit better. It wasn't quite dialed in yet with him, but it's closer to my vision than my older undivided models. This kit can either be built as a generic Lord on Daemonic Mount or as the unique character... Continue Reading →
Showcase: Lords of Chaos Undivided
Like all of my Chaos Undivided units, these guys were painted before I knew what I was doing. But I did go back later and use them to learn how to paint flaming weapons which I think elevates them a lot! I'll probably add some more details to them in the future.
