Bob, Pew-Pew and Dark Rites Too

 I haven't been painting so much 40k recently. Of course, that never means I haven't painted any...

The Chosen Ones

Of my two renegade Chaos warbands, The Purge got liquidated, and The Scourged get made into a full army.

So I guess Fate was on their side after all.

A New Term At Woffwarts

 Don't bother with the Sorting Hat: they're all wrong 'uns!

Fly, My Pretties!

 Adding a bit more air supremacy to my Thousand Sons - Tzaangor Enlightened!

Big Spawn

 Some beasties I painted a while ago... definitely under the 'Miscellaneous' category.

Watch Out, White Cliffs Of Dover

There's clearly a cathartic theme running through my model painting this week.

And this one's the biggest of the lot!

The Little Dread That Could

 Before there were Helbrutes, there were Chaos Dreadnoughts!

Black Magic

 There's no such thing as too much of a good thing...

Black Rubricae!

Changey, Changey Contrast

 Better late than never ... the Tzeentch Daemons!

Fires of Change

I like the look of the new Infernal Master HQ, but I couldn't wait to use him!

Oh Come All Ye Unfaithful: The Purge vs The Scourged

More civil war among the heretics - this time, the forces of Nurgle take on the might of Tzeentch.

The Purge vs The Scourged!

Mind Over Melta: Thousand Sons vs Black Legion

Just a friendly disagreement in the Eye of Terror.

Thousand Sons vs Black Legion!

Get The Flock Out Of Here

Guess what I found nesting at the back of my painting queue?

Tzaangors!

Expelliarmus: Thousand Sons vs Thousand Sons

It's civil war among the sorcerers of Prospero!

Thousand Sons vs Thousand Sons.

Death Among The Hydrangeas: Blood Angels vs Thousand Sons

Let's Gardenhammer!

Blood Angels vs Thousand Sons. In the fresh air! In person!

Escape to Reality: Thousand Sons vs Chaos Daemons

The Hunt for Ahriman campaign concludes tonight! Does that slippery little Exile have one more trick up his sleeve?

Free!

Ahriman fell into a spiralling hell of colour and noise as he fell through the warp rift. For several seconds, neither time nor space had meaning. Everything was mutable - distance, physics, his own identity, the eventual destiny of the galaxy, everything. 

But he had been here before. Giving into this malleability would make everything that came before meaningless. A few hastily spoken wards stabilised him as he needed himself, and allowed a moment of reflection. 

Merely by having a will to express, he was already shaping the warpstuff around him. Whatever its true form, it was focussing itself into locations, physical places that his mind could understand. Fragments of a broken empire, hanging in space. Much like the reality he knew lay beyond, and also like that, his for the taking. No, that temptation wasn't worth giving in to. He had too much staked in reality. Hurriedly, he moved on.

As he moved, he searched. And before long, he found what he was looking for - a way out. A hanging oval, spinning around a point disconcertingly off-centre, with a hazy vista of broken rock and asphalt barely visible. Whatever benighted planet it was on, it would be safer than here. 

Moving towards it, he could hear the hoots and shrieks that justified his haste. He was not alone. Perhaps some of the denizens of the warp would serve him, for a time. But not all would be aligned with his goals, nor his expressed allegiance. 

Time to escape. 

Skypehammer Round 9: Unto The Breach

This is the penultimate battle of the campaign, and in the tradition of building to a crescendo, we're going to be playing doubles!

The Purge & Nurgle Daemons vs Thousand Sons & The Scourged!

Skypehammer Round 8: A Rune Priest's Tail

The campaign for Averment tilts dangerously in favour of The Cabal ... only one loyal army stands before them and total defeat. 

Space Wolves vs The Scourged!

Skypehammer Round 7: A Stitch In Time

The Cabal's internecine struggles continue. This time, it's the Neverborn who decide they've had enough of colouring inside the lines...

Thousand Sons vs Tzeentch Daemons!

Skypehammer Round 4: Ill-Met By Enlightenment

The final combatants of the Skypehammer campaign kick off by renewing an old grudge...
