Having just moved nearish York, I'm way too far from my usual gaming group (40k, Necromunda, Bloodbowl etc) and wondered if there were any other groups closer to home in York I could try.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it very much 👏
After seizing power of the Carrion Lords, Archon Morrigan Calruin needed to consolidate his rule with a true feast of agony to sate the questionable loyalty of his remaining Kabal. Fortunately, sources highlighted a weak world barely defended by the dregs of a genetically deviant chapter of Astartes. Geneseed for the Haemonculi, gladiators for the Wyches and slaves for the Kabal, it was too tempting to ignore.
The raid had been an unbridled success, with Kabalites spilling forth from Raiders to secure important objectives while Scourges and Ravagers poured fire upon Astartes armour until a counterattack came.
Screaming sermons to his men, a Chaplain fought his way to Calruin and his squad. Every strike of his Crozius slaughtered another Kabalite, but it didn't matter; this prize would be the Archons alone.
His Shadowfield shrouding him from the clumsy swings of the impetuous Chaplain, the Archons Huskblade soon found the flesh of the righteous warrior. First, Calruin took his hands at the wrist before gutting the defenceless Chaplain and finally striking his head from his body. The tortured soul of his victim flowed into his Soul Trap with a shiver of delight before Calruin ordered his Raiders crew to retrieve the body; the Haemonculi could turn this creature into something most amusing.
Their holds bursting with slaves, warriors invigorated and a plum prize taken, the Kabal of the Carrion Lords left the world as fast as they arrived, making for the Dark City with howls of delight.
Put some very minor work into making my new Archon a little bit unique. Now, just to come up with a suitably evil name and twisted backstory...
I've wanted for a while to create a kind of Haemonculi failed experiment type of horroresque creature. I've always thought about the AOS Crypt Ghouls but wonder what size their faces might be compared to Wracks and whether or not Wrack masks could be made to fit. Are there any collectors of both units in here?
I enjoy the idea of creatures completely broken by their time in Commoragh such that they become bizarre scout troop/deranged chaff that the Haemonculi just release upon their foes.
After the new Warlocks came out, I thought they looked a little silly standing next to the much smaller Farseer models. So, I thought I'd convert a new Farseer from a spare Eldrad sprue and a Warlock body.
