Presently, Elster and her family run around a lot in this kind of armor, just in Eusan Nation colors. It's a faction called the Solar Auxilia, from the Horus Heresy game. Their emblem is a red 'X' over a black background.

#miniatures #warhammer I've started assembly of my first #TraitorGuard infantry squad. I backed @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social's "The Damned" 3 years ago. Really glad to be working on them finally. (For the record, I'm doing 12, so I have alternate special weapon models to swap in.)

Yep. The reason Genestealer Cults are able to persist for generations is because their particular brand of weird mutation isn't significantly different than the legions of mutants that populate your average hive city. It's a feature that's been in 40K since the very start.

Illustrated headshots of various mutants from the Warhammer 40,000 first edition core rulebook. In order: dude with two noses and an ear on his forehead; dude with boils covering his head and neck; dude with pointy ears, three eyes, an elephant trunk for a nose, and a bald head covered in spikes; dude with pointy ears, fangs, and snail-like eye stalks; dude with a goat head; dude with a head that tapers to a point; and dude that's just a head with arms and legs stick out of it.

#miniaturepainting #warhammer After something like a year sitting assembled on my desk, I've started painting my off-brand, non-Chaos #Beastmen. These archers are my paint scheme proof of concept. (Miniatures from the now defunct RGD Gaming.)

Miniatures: five Faun archers on square bases. Male and female mix. Bases have green grass and pink flowers. Fauns wear sparse clothing in green and brown leather armor.

Close up of female fauns. One carries a spear in addition to a bow. Might stick a banner on the spear.

Close up of the male fauns. Two sport wicker and fur armor on their stomachs. The unit leader raises bow and axe to the sky, while shouting.

The fauns shown from behind. Each carries a quiver, full of green fletching.

#miniaturepainting Also, I experimented with adding liver spots to the sniper priest. It might be slightly difficult to see from this angle.

Miniature: Overhead view of a Sniper Priest model from Archon Studio. Bald head and hands show primitive liver spots.

#miniaturepainting Painted this Sniper Priest model from Trench Crusade. Used almost exclusively paints from the John Blanche set 2 (RIP). I'm thinking of using it as an Ecclesiarchy themed Vindicare Assassin. (Manufacturer: Archon Studio)

Miniature: Painted model of a priest, with a red blindfold and thick white beard, hands crossed over a sniper rifle hung from his neck. Original model from Archon Studio. Walks across ground with cracked cobblestone and grass tufts.

Same model, turned toward figure's right side. Shows orange leather boots.

Same model, from behind. Book on belt adorned with cracked human skull.

#miniaturepainting Finished two of #Miscast Trent Holbrook's models (including the "Permadeath" mini). They'll be joining my Tzeentch Daemons army.

Miniatures: two metal models, painted in a blue, pink, yellow, and gold scheme. One hooded figure with horns and no face, holding a sword and shield with embossed, sketchy face. The other with four arms and a radiating sun face mask (with a single yellow eye), wielding scythe and sickle and golden cup.

Bluecho4@bluecho4· Jun 6

#miniaturepainting The results from my first session w/ the airbrush. 28 models (+ shield sub-assembly) painted and basecoated in one 3-4 session. The rest will be up to normal brushwork.

Box full of basecoated wargaming models, mostly fauns and centaurs. 28 models in total.

The only time Dredd is kind of heroic is when he's fighting Judge Death and his posse. And that's only because they're what happens when the Judges take their Fascist ideology to its logical endpoint: "Kill everyone".

This narrative focus in Warhammer never went away. One of the mission statements with the recently announced 40K 11th edition has been an attempt to marry the competitive and narrative elements into a united game mode. Like tailored missions or non-circular objectives.

We know for a FACT both Gary Gygax and at least one alumni of Games Workshop played WGWR. To the point Gav Thorpe made basically a retroclone of the game (up to and including using the same 54mm scale), with 2001's "Inquisitor".

Bluecho4@bluecho4· May 1

We see this in one example with Western Gunfight Wargame Rules, an old west shootout skirmish game that heavily emphasized narrative as a core feature. Where you're supposed to give your fighters names and history, and to make plays in-character, without meta-gaming.
