Unearth the Betrayal



It was once again our collective hobby inspiration that sparked the idea for our latest gaming day - Ollie had created the insane Night Lords Apothecary some time ago and we knew the model deserved a proper story arch. Unfortunately the Chief Medicae Consul is quite a rare unit choice and Ollie's scratchbuild is a bit too epic to be run as a regular Apothecary - sadly he hadn't seen any gameplay. Therefore we wrote him a secret narrative of his own, incorporating the villain into Thracian Insurgency as a non-player character.

Since the early days of our gaming table build we'd been toying with the idea of creating some underground features for the terrain. These ambitions were boosted as the final construction took shape and we decided to use Ikea Kallax grid shelves as the legs for the table. These have been holding some of our studio armies and literature, but the shelves would also be perfect for some terrain integration - this way the underground terrain pieces would actually be stored underneath the streets and could be used in gameplay as a separate, modular scenery setup.



Our idea was to write a classic "mad scientist" story for the Night Lords Chief Medicae (now called Dr. Norman Bramm) and have this renegade character lead a clandestine operation from his makeshift underground laboratory. His hideous creations (inspired by both Horus Heresy Raven Guard tragedies as well as Fabius Bile's Enhanced Warriors project) would be too imposing for the Loyalist alliance to ignore and this would result in a subterranean manhunt. At first we discussed with Scott that it would be cool to build a simple dungeon corridor to surprise the other players with, but as per usual, we couldn't stop there...

Studio Saturday!

This Saturday we had a nice studio session, gathering in numbers to work on some army projects and single figures. Scott is preparing a certain Blood Angels character model for upcoming painting competitions, Ollie laid down basecoats on his progressing Night Lords and Eric picked up a Lord of the Rings Denethor as his project of the day. We also had the pleasure to meet up with Alexander from Echoes of Imperium, who dropped by to chat about miniatures and gaming and brought some of his #Primogenitor Death Guard models for us to marvel at. Looking forward to some battles and other hobby collaborations!
Olli otti kynäruiskukornerimme käyttöön ja suihki panssarien pohjavärit uusiin Horus Heresy Night Lordeihinsa. Maalauslistalla on ainakin Tactical Marineita, Breachereita, Destroyereita ja tietysti synkkiä sankarihahmoja.

Noa perusti iltapäivän aikana Instagram-tilin (wrhd_noa) figuprojekteilleen - nyt päästään seuraamaan 30K Emperor's Childrenien ja Age of Sigmar Gloomspite Gitzien valmistumista!

Ollin vastavalmistunut Dark Mechanicum Magos löysi vierasperäisen esineen tutkittavakseen...

Alexanderin tunnelmalliset Death Guardit on kasattu lukuisista eri osista ja maalattu Blanchitsu-hengessä.

Lisää Death Guard -materiaalia ja paljon work in progress -rakentelukuvia löytää myös Echoes of Imperiumin Instagramista.

Ehkä päästään kohtaamaan ruttosoturit myös pelipöydällä piakkoin!
