No.

Did I kill Ghazghkull Thraka by devastating wounding him to death with my last model? Yes.

Did he fight on death and kill my Archon? Also, yes.

Thus, ends the campaign on Astorax IV.

The short version of the story is Drukhari raids on a planet torn between a burgeoning Ork W'aaagh and the Imperial Defenders.

An impressive tally of Orks was reaped for both the Carrion Lords and Crimson Blades, such that even the Imperial governor was "convinced" to abandon his ally the Salamanders in favour of the Ork hunting Drukhari.

So the Grand Finale™️ was played between a team of Orks, a team of Salamanders and Ultramarine reinforcements and the Drukhari with their compromised Guard thralls.

In typical 40k novel fashion, the Ultramarines and Salamanders won the day, purged the Orks and slew the traitor Guardsmen as the Drukhari limped into the Webway.

Highlights of the game included Archon Mazrekai Yndarion killing a Librarian and the Ork Warlord, as well as Succubus Fhaeren Aro'shar tanking around 30 Ork attacks before beheading that Warboss too.

Spent a long day on Monday playing one of the mini campaigns with the deck of cards that came out recently. It was a great experience!

With my detachments disposition being Recon, the flavour of the different agendas feels very natural. For example, some of my Drukharis missions were to locate their inside source of information, assassinate nominated individuals, exfiltrate a unit behind enemy lines, and finally remove all trades of their presence from the planet.

You'll be delighted to hear the victim world was desolated, and Archon Morrigan Calruin and Succubus Yzmae Khankrass both rose their stock in Commoragh with a real feast of agony.

I'd love to recreate the Kabalite from the front cover of our Codex, but I can't find any sort of helmet that resembles the spikes/mouth grill(?) of this handsome chap. I wondered if there might be a 3D printed version some clever person's made I could buy.

Cheers.

Hi all, I have an idea for my Wych Cult, but I need some help with the execution.

Essentially, I'd like to take the Blackstone Fortress Spindle Drones and make those centre eyes look more like camera lenses. (The logic being that the Cult goes into battle essentially live streaming their battles in realspace, with the Succubi performing especially fascinating acts of murder with the Drones acting as cameras.

My first thought was the scopes from Space Marine rifles, but I thought it might be worth asking the creative experts here first.

Thanks in advance to you all

With his Kabalites watching, rising Archon Mazrekai Yndarion struck the head from the shoulders of a lurching Ork juggernaut.

... before his squad was destroyed by a Battlewagon, and he died by failing his first Shadowfield save against a wrecking ball.

Vect giveth, Vect taketh away.

I've been acting as "games master" for a narrative campaign between the Imperium and Orks, with the Drukhari functioning as NPCs to spice things up, and thought the very short rise and immediately devastating fall were too funny not to share.

Greetings, homebrewers.

Ezhrae Khellkyss, Grand Succubus of the Cult of the Crimson Blades, invites your homebrew faction (whatever that may be) to be the direct rivals of my Drukhari Wych Cult. So, make your case as to why your homebrew faction should be "canonised" in my own homebrew as the murderous muse for a group of upstart gladiators whose fights are an increasingly spectacular means of entertaining the Commoragh elite.

How does your army fight? Why does my Wych Cult have a particular hatred towards your guys? Have your faction leader and mine crossed blades before?

I thought this could be a fun way to have a few armies we work so hard on intertwine a little, so I'm curious what comes up. 😊

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.
