Order of the Bloody Rose Kill Team: Battle Sisters
As with the last couple of years, I had the great opportunity to continue working with the fantastic Nova Open Charitable Foundation on a project for their yearly summer raffle. With Kill Team getting a fancy new edition recently, I quickly decided upon a Battle Sister project with the new Fire Team system in mind,…
Read MoreNight Lords Cultists WIP
Joining the Legionaries is a 10 strong squad of Cultists, the Banshee Queens. Serving as enforcers and law keepers aboard the Night Lords ships, they’re occasionally employed alongside their Astartes masters during planetary assaults, harassing the enemy or luring them into ambushes and kill-zones. Building this squad was a bit of an involved process. I…

Content warning: This post contains discussion of loss and grief Spoiler warning: This post contains spoilers for the plot of Final Fantasy 7 So Final Fantasy 7 is pretty good. I mean, obviously it’s good. The fact that it remains the most popular title in the ever-popular Final Fantasy series sort of proves that, of…
Read MoreNight Lords Legionaries WIP
With the objective markers completed, the next thing I wanted to get on the painting desk for this project was some troops, coming in the form of a squad of Chaos Legionaries and a small squad of Cultists. First up are the Chaos Legionaries, Second Claw. 10 strong, armed with Bolters, an Autocannon and a…
Read MoreNight Lords Objective Markers
Been a while in the making, but I’m happy to show off the first completed models of my Night Lords project. While not an actual Chaos Marine, this handful of markers was really helpful as a way to figure out the basing scheme and finally solidify a mood and setting for the project. Quite obviously,…
Read MoreAngron never had a choice
Content warning: This post contains discussion of trauma and abuse As everyone is surely aware by now, GW has revealed a new model for Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. The model is, of course, brutally stunning. The design is close to his depiction on the…
Read MoreThe cruelty of the Imperium & Master of Mankind
Aaron Dembski-Bowden is my favourite Warhammer author. I probably don’t need to say that he’s been something of an influence on certain projects of mine, I think everyone who’s wanted to build and paint Night Lords in the past decade owes at least a little bit of that to him. I do want to say…
Read MoreSisters of Battle Objective Markers
The updated Sisters of Battle range comes with a fair few Cherubs, a staple of the Imperium’s aesthetic, saying so much about the horror of the regime. Of course I had to have a handful in my Sororitas collection, a little reminder that no matter how angelic or saintly they may appear, the Sisters of…
Read MoreOrder of Our Martyred Lady Repentia
Some more reinforcements for my Sororitas, this time in the form of redemption seeking, chainsaw wielding zealots. I wanted my Sisters of Battle collection to be more focused on the saintly/angelic imagery of the Sororitas, hence my lack of Penitent Engines and Arco-Flagellants. I like the grim dark aspects of the faction, it’s just not…
Read MoreOrder of Our Martyred Lady Palatine
Another addition to my Sisters of Battle command structure is a Palatine. While I think the official model is fine, I wanted something a bit fancier to represent this Sister. The Triumph of Saint Catherine kit provided a great alternative and something that fit my tastes perfectly. I love the sword and shield combo, the…
