Loyalty: 2/2

 


Three days ago. The sky was still a furnace, but the wind was up, blowing yellow dust up and out of the desert to stain the sky a pale green. All else was the same, apart from the box. 

Our wounds healed fast. There was a fused mass of new bone over my cracked ribs that already felt strong. Traeld’s face was blotchy with bruising, but it had already faded to a yellowy-green that nearly matched the sky. 

“Your second day of Xenos,” Caidacus shouted down to us. “But first, an honour.”

Loyalty: 1/2


 ”If there is treachery here, it must be cut out,” Caidacus said. 

Our teacher sat in front of the four of us with his sword across his lap. None of us spoke. None of us moved, in fact -  a weight lay in my stomach like a frozen shadow. To even speak of treachery here was to invite its presence. That our teacher did so, and so coldly, was outright terrifying.

There was a stillness in his face I hadn’t seen before, something guarded. An intense focus that he gave to the mirrored blade before him. He rarely betrayed any sign of emotion, so it was hard to read what he might be thinking, but whatever it was, it was something important.

A Pause for Breath

 


With tenth edition almost upon us, I found myself thinking about which were my favourite games of 40k since I got back into the hobby back in late 2018.
