A Short Story - For the Emperor

Zardakk Kull removed his helm, taking a breath of the corridor’s air. It smelt of blood and expended ammunition. Licking the sharpened points of his teeth, he watched as his erstwhile allies picked their way through the wreckage of the battle, silencing survivors and collecting unused ammunition. In the ruddy emergency lighting of the corridor, the metallic blue armour of his allies looked almost indigo, while his blood red armour simply appeared darker.

The Word Bearer Acolyte and his two Space Marine escorts had managed to cajole the mysterious Alpha Legion warband into assisting them in taking the Imperial cargo ship carrying the bones of some worthless Imperial saint. Kull intended on corrupting the ship and unleashing a daemonic plague on the Shrine World of Macallan IV. With their trademark subterfuge, the five Legionaries had infiltrated the eight member team aboard, hiding until the ship entered the fringes of the Macallan system.

There had been five Imperial Fists onboard as a security element, indicative of the importance of the ship’s cargo. Alone, the Word Bearers and the Imperial Fists would have been evenly matched. With the Alpha Legion’s support, there was no contest. Kull had barely killed three of the ship’s crew before the four legionaries and their leader scythed through their Astartes escort. Kull had earlier asked for the leader’s name, but had only received “Alpharius” as a response. There was no doubt that it was not the fabled primarch, but the squad leader did his namesake proud, single-handedly killing the three Imperial Fists with his combi-plasma and lightning claw.

The door to the bridge slid open, and Kull stepped through the portal, closely followed by the nameless squad leader. Zardakk Kull opened the pict-feeds to the cargo hold, in time to see his fellow Word Bearers get gunned down by two Alpha Legionnaires, while the other two planted explosive charges on the walls and the sacred relics. The devastation unleashed when the charges blew would be immense.

A whisper from the warp alerted him to more immediate betrayal, but Kull was too slow in whirling around to confront his silent companion. The razor sharp tines of the lightning claw stabbed out through his chest, tearing through both his hearts and severing the lower half of his spine. The Acolyte slumped to the floor, and the Alpha Legion squad leader stepped over his body. Setting the ship on a collision course with Macallan IV's spaceport, a ping sounded from the console, marking an unknown contact that had appeared on an intercept course.

“Why?! Why do you do this? The Dark Gods expect success!” The Acolyte’s confusion was apparent despite the pain fogging his voice.

The Alpha Legionnaire slowly turned to face him, raising his bolter and removing his helm at the same time. Kull looked at a face marked with the hydra, coiling around the unnamed marine’s cold eyes. Kull saw the trigger finger tighten, and heard the last three words of his life.

“For the Emperor.”

8th Edition Check. Codices Will Remain

Yesterday we had some rumors about Codices going the way of the Dodo. Well, we had a quick check in last night from a source that is beyond solid letting us know that this is not the case. The rest of that rumor set, we are not going to get answers for, but for at least the Codex will not vanish.

Shadow Wars Rules to be more available + new Factions

100% Painted or Documented Challenge

Hello Faeit,

I've made an old school Youtube video response for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPyn_ic1hBQ&t=136s

This video sets out a challenge to bring your collection of miniatures to 100% painted so I've decided to at least document the forgotten miniatures hiding in the closet. Perhaps the excel document linked to in the video description will help give your hobby direction as well. All the best.

Bloodbowl Mania

I guess some of you out there may have bitten by the Bloodbowl bug. I have gone full tilt and bought into it. I first fell in love wi the game in 2001 at the end of 2nd Edition. Fast forward to today and an updated set of minis and beautifully produced board, I was hooked. I present to you my 1mil gold pieces team.

Before I could finish the team, I had to play them so stuck the numbers first in a hurry.

Went on to finish up as much as I could for my game with Alan the next day

Another sample model

Just a few layers of highlights were missing and of course the grass.

I then got a beat down at the game with Alan and his Dwarves - aptly named Snow White's Gigolos.

The Black Orc stood in for my Ogre

I drew the game and levelled the Ogre up! Gave him Stand Firm and headed out for my next game with Zim. He played High Elves and man, I lost that game 2-1.

Thankfully, I won some experience points for my Linemen and No. 2 which I called Butterfingers levelled up. He now has Dodge! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of that game.

Game 3 with Skaven

Managed to then tee up a game with Weijia's Skaven called Failed Experiments. Those rats run fast! Lost the game again, this time 2-1. Sigh...maybe I'm not very good at this game. Ah well, at least I am having fun.

Finally it arrived!

Comparing it to my Troll for my Orc team - looks pretty similar in size

The team as it now stands is as follows:

2 Deaths so far. The rest will be named when they level. Highly dependant on their performance on the field too

Spread out and hit them hard!

The team ready to rock and roll

Still a few more bits to do with their faces, a stripe here and there to detail the players but they are 90% complete. I'll add detail when they level up

Some reinforcements, thanks goes out to Melvin for the models!

Special Operatives in Shadow Wars

Shadow Wars was here and gone quickly. There is so much talk on about it being limited and gone, but to be honest I truly don't think GW will let this one slip on by. So for right now, there should be no panic, as Monday we should get more information as to the games availability in the near future.

Need some information regarding special operatives? Here is a report from a reader nice enough to share his experience with the game.

Armies on Show at the 2v2 Tournament

Nothing quite replaces the spectacle of beautifully painted armies slugging it out on beautiful tables. There were some really good looking armies out there and I am sure was surprised at the quality of the work that some of these artists were churning out. I hope you will agree too!
