Last of the Black Library Open Submissions, this one is a re-writing of a previous attempt . I've gone hard for a Western-inspired story, which I think is fitting for a Fallen Dark Angel hiding out in the wilderness. Hope you like it! Yeah it's Cypher, but it's surprisingly hard to find another dual pistol Space Marine Summary A band of farmers on a back water human colony seek the help of a legendary gunslinger to help them fight warp beasts ravaging their homes. And he’s a Fallen Dark Angel. They journey to the source of the monsters, losing members to daemon and cultist attacks, and simple exhaustion. On the way the Fallen sheds light on the secret history of their planet; how he taught a boy Imperial philosophy only to see him turn tyrant, how he helped a Thousand Son Sorcerer with a cataclysmic ritual, and his time spent with a young woman who would go on to form the planet’s current ruling Chaos theocracy. A Western inspired adventure, investigating wh...

Last chance for the Black Library Open Submissions! Head over to Warhammer Community now to maybe start your (very niche!) writing career! I've posted a Warhammer 40,000 story here before, about a Fallen Dark Angel's life on a back water planet, and it went over a huge amount of revisions thanks to feedback from readers. I'll be posting the final story, the one I submitted to Black Library, later this week. I submitted another story tonight as well, a story I wrote in the Age of Sigmar setting. I've been looking at Seraphon Carnosaurs for a while now, trying to convince myself I don't want one (rather unsuccessfully too). I think the new Lizardmen are a wonderful feat of imagination, being remembered warriors from the old Warhammer Fantasy, made real again by celestial magic. It's an idea wholly unique to Warhammer, forged by creators trying to justify Aztec dinosaurs in the new game universe without the jungles they could have evolved in. How else wil...

I feel like "Bay" should have an apostrophe somewhere... Not much of a gallery, but some work in progress pictures. It looks remarkably cohesive as a force, considering the complicated colours on the Commander and Riptide. The white and reds help the G'undam suits to stand out in the blue. Better look at the G'undam style shield generator, and a comparison with the regular Crisis suit. Until next time! Thanks for reading.

Just a quick update on  project G'undam. The base layers and washes are done. So far, I really like them! And after shading and washes...

I'm revamping and re-tooling my T'au army. Although I'm certain the list I've come up with is both competitive and easy to use, I don't think I'll be continuing collecting T'au. Whilst I'll never stop believing in mecha and the sheer coolness of robots, with Crisis Suits now solidly priced as an elite unit I can't form the Crisis Suit Wings that I love from 7th Edition. Firewarriors and Breacher teams are fantastic as Troop choices, and you really can't go wrong fielding them en masse. But I'm here for the Crisis Suits, and infuriatingly I can't fit nearly as many as I can in an army as the old days. But enough of the old bitter veteran moaning, let's see what disgusting fire power we lay upon the enemy! This is not the whole army, but a good chunk of it... weapon choices are all wrong though. The army I had planned started as a Farsight Enclave list, to fit my Mu'gulath Bay Avengers (the poor homeless blue chaps above...

... attack of the apostrophe drone. With the release of the new codex, it's time to revisited my proud and scarred warriors from Mu'gulath Bay. I don't have the codex yet, so I don't have the details, but from what I gather it hasn't gone well for the intrepid colonials from the Damocles Gulf. In the wake of the fighting on Mu'gulath Bay (called Agrellan in the Imperium), the Imperials decided to spitefully launch one of their more spectacular Exterminatus attacks. Rather than just destroying the surface of the planet, they somehow set fire to the Damocles Gulf itself, erupting an entire region of space in flames... which potentially ripped the The Great Rift wider than it would otherwise had done. The T'au left on Mu'gulath were kept proected by powerful Earth caste shields, but it looks like they may have had to abandon the planet. The survivors may even have been attacked by the T'au Empire itself, possibly running to the Farsight Encl...

I have to admit, I've always been fascinated by the Sons of Fenris. In them the grim dark of 40K perfectly fuses with the silliness and conceits of the setting. Of course there are space viking werewolves, and of course they're hard drinking and yet loyal to a fault. And of course, they are a dying light of optimism in the galaxy after losing their home world. This is the original Grim Dark universe after all. Their fluff is excellent, but I wanted to talk about some crunch today and engage in some speculation about their best potential Chapter Tactic. Currently, they only have one warlord trait, and two stratagems. They have their own psychic discipline too, but it's a little on the weak side now. Warlord trait Saga of the Warrior born:  I'm not sure about its utility. It allows you to always fight first, unless another unit gets to do so for charging first or has a similar ability. Not bad, but you'd need to keep your warlord in melee all the time. ...
