I've started a small force of Word Bearers to act as the main baddies for my Black Templars. I like the idea of Word Bearers pitted against Black Templars because they're both the most fervently religious groups in their respective factions. It's fun to play their extreme faiths off of each other. If you've been... Continue Reading →
Crusade Lore 4: Into the Outer Dark
Inquisitor Grest prepares to join the Calixis Crusade on what is likely to be its final push out beyond the galaxy's edge.
W.I.P. Wednesday – Slaanesh Daemon Prince
Today's kitbash is my Daemon Prince with the mark of Slaanesh. He's mostly finished. I just need to figure out what weapons to give him. The rules say he either gets a sword, an axe, or two claws. I've already given up on making him WYSIWYG. I'll just go with what looks cool. But I... Continue Reading →
W.I.P. Wednesday – Lord of Nurgle
My current WIP is my Chaos Lord on foot with the mark of Nurgle. All of my Nurgle units are corrupted Bretonnians. Their story revolves around a knight who went on a grail quest but was tricked into drinking from the wrong grail. Then he returned to spread the gospel of Nurgle. This guy is... Continue Reading →
Death Guard Killteam

In terms of lore, these are actually not Death Guard but Word Bearers with the mark of Nurgle. The wider Word Bearers legion looks down on those who dedicate themselves to a... Continue Reading →
Faction Music: Warriors of Chaos
In contrast to Chaos Space Marines, who take themselves very seriously, I think of the Warriors of Chaos as one big rowdy headbanger party. Like a Municipal Waste music video. But to me, the perfect song to represent these ultimate heavy metal barbarians is 'Ravening Iron' by Eternal Champion.
Crusade Lore 2: Marshals and Martyrs
Inquisitor Grest investigates a central figure of faith among the mortal forces of the Calixis Crusade and gains a deeper understanding of the origins of the crusade itself.
Faction Music: Chaos Space Marines
Whenever I'm painting my Warhammer models, certain songs always pop into my head depending on the army I'm working on. For my Word Bearers, I always think about 'I am Vengeance' by Naglfar. Black Metal is perfect for Chaos Space Marines. Especially the later waves of more melodic, overly-produced black metal like Naglfar. The melodrama,... Continue Reading →
Slaves to Darkness WIP 3: Khorne Knights
Continuing on with my Slaves to Darkness project, here are my Chaos Knights with the Mark of Khorne! The story behind this unit is that they were originally Knights of the White Wolf and followers of Ulric. I'll tell the story of their fall to chaos in a lore post someday soon. But to represent...

Crusade Lore 1: Mourning and Retribution
An inquisitor investigates the unorthodox beliefs held by this small group of Black Templars and learns about the origins of the Calixis Crusade
