WH40K Homebrew Space Marine Chapter: Stormwolves — January 2025 Astartes II Teaser Bonus Update

So, 40K Fan-Animator-Turned-Officially-on-GW's-Payroll-Animator Syama Pederson uploaded a teaser trailer for the next chapter of his Astartes project, which we can assume he's now free to work on after having advised the production of the Warhammer 40K episode of Amazon's Secret Level streaming series.

This time around, it's going to be a story about the Deathwatch Marines, with the teaser showing snippets of backstory for each of the Marines that will be featured in the Deathwatch Kill Team. Included is a Marine from Syama's own homebrew chapter, the Retributors, who were the focus of the original Astartes animations. The release date for this next installment is in 2026, and it's likely to be paywalled behind the Warhammer+ subscription service.

Since my own homebrew chapter often uses Deathwatch as their "counts-as" rules I figured it would be a good time to do an update. After the armylist adjustments I made when Munitorum Field Manual v2.0 dropped earlier this month, I realized that if I made sure that my Chapter's unique characters only appeared in a single sample armylist, then technically, I could merge all the lists into a multi-detachment mega-list that would fully represent all aspects of my homebrew.

It would be a 9,485 Point monstrosity, and I would have to come up with new squad names for the spots where I had re-used them, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Had to drop the Inquisitor from the Agents of the Imperium list, making it the third time now that I've retooled that specific one.

And really, this is just a good excuse for me to post some more of the digital kitbashing concept renders I've come up with for my Stormwolves "Codex".

But if you want to see all the visual assets and loredumps I've put together for the Stormwolves, there's this Google Doc:

2025

So 2024 was pretty busy and a little overwhelming, I've now got time to reflect a little and look to the future.

Last year was largely wedding preparations and dealing with the stress of that, resulting in it taking a lot of my brain space, further resulting in a loss of creativity. But I got married on 20/10/24 in a castle to the love of my life. It was a fantastic day that shot by in a blur. I've now got a double-barrelled last name. Plus I got promoted in December which was a lovely surprise, coupled with two months backpay at my new rate and a Christmas bonus, so a great Christmas was had.

I'm now looking forward to this year and what I want to achieve. Professionally, nothing right now as I am content for the moment with the money I am on, hopefully a nice little raise would be good.

The big thing this year though is buying a house. My wife and I have enough money to put a good deposit down on a house and get out of renting. We've already checked out a few houses with there being one I hope we can get. Following that shortly after would be getting a dog, a golden retriever if I can find a rescue because I've always adored those type of dogs plus they are good for first time owners.

Hobby wise, well I have the custom Legion project based on the Lost Legions, with this being the Second Legion aka The Pyre. They'll be Assyrian based with a focus on utilising forbidden technology like nuclear weapons and Abominable Intelligence as well as scorched earth tactics. My very summarised theory on why this legion was expunged from all records was that they left more worlds in a (very radioactive) dead-world state than actually bringing them to compliance, coupled with using AI in their campaigns. I have written a lot of lore for this legion that I'll eventually start sharing once I've finished it and I'll likely expand into a "What if they weren't expunged?" line of 40k alternative history.

On top of the legion project I'll probably finish the Alpha Legion, although the Predator tanks are now going to be used for The Pyre.

The other project is going to be getting a hold of a 3d printer so I can create my own minis, in particular I want to design the Primarch of the II Legion, Ashurdan. I have a rough idea of what I want him to look like and what he'll be armed with but I'll need to take some time to learn how to design the model as I want it to be quite intricate.

Other things I want to do this year is to start getting into shape but that is on hold until I move house.

However, tomorrow I have to go and take my car to the garage to get the brake discs changed.
