Real sad that GW doesn’t actually sell this model anymore. It’s a really good mini and it’s such a shame that I’ve only found it through third party scalpers on eBay. Maybe some other people can get lucky through other 3rd parties

Reading Angron: The Red Angel and I’m obsessed with the idea of 5 berzerkers standing in a circle drawing straws, cuz none of them wanna deal with their fucking psycho even by their standards leader.

I’ll have more minis posted soon

Probably.

3 more deathshroud, finally time to start on plague marines, maybe one of the vehicles, I’ll figure it out

I love how wide the Lord of Virulence is in comparison to the other terminators. Dude is stanced up.

Another thing I didn’t really mention in my last post about DG was how organic Chris Wraight’s word choice is in Lords of Silence. Besides the people and the astartes and Solace itself being obvious exceptions, pretty much everything has some descriptor like it’s a living, breathing thing. Organs and guts and intent. It’s really cool.

Anyway here’s the deathshroud. Also I will force you to read my thoughts on chaos books as I’m reading while posting minis. Sorry, not sorry.

I’ve been rereading Lords of Silence by Chris Wraight and MAN the vibes are so goddamn good. Just incredibly immaculate.

Wait no, that’s not right. The vibes are completely tainted. They’ve been buried in a shallow grave where the worms and grubs are allowed to wriggle their way into the open flesh as the vibes rotmax their way into immortality. And that’s to its benefit. It has that hallmarks of a good csm story, with the added benefit of incredible detail and grotesque descriptions fitting a modern 40K Death Guard book. These astartes feel properly ancient as they struggle to read modern fucking gothic. Because they’re from 10,000 years ago and languages change over time.

It’s so goddamn good it encouraged me to make a very impulsive purchase resulting in me kind of restarting my DG collection, since I’m not happy looking at my past paint jobs for them. It’s been very exciting.

ANGRY BEES GRAAAAAAAAAH

I didn’t know that, that’s pretty neat. That definitely adds to Sanguinius’s motivation, but also kind of adds to my point? Sanguinius was an optimist, so as Herculean of a task that saving meat puppet Horus was going to be, he decided to take a crack at it anyway.

I find it really interesting that both of the prescient primarchs killed themselves tbh.

When Sanguinius and Konrad saw their own deaths they both believed that nothing could change their fates. And while they both had drastically different attitudes about it, they were both wrong, funnily enough.

When it comes to seeing the future in 40K, the end result is always muddled and mutable. In the Traitors Tarot, a short story in both the 9th and 10th csm codexes, the leader of a chaos warband goes to a witch to tell him his fortune; to which she drones on and on about several different futures that are all equally likely and unlikely to happen. The head of Kairos Fateweaver that sees the future continues to madly mumble to itself about events that are yet to come. Hell the Eldar’s entire shtick is combing through several futures to find an ideal outcome. The fracturing of the future even happened to Konrad Curze in his own primarch book.

While the Night Haunter confronted a young rapist two notable futures flashed before him, one where he nurtures the boy into becoming a guiding figure for Nostramo, and one where the boy stabs Konrad and gets away. Neither of these things happen as the Night Haunter eats him anyway and while gnawing on his femur, he notices that the knife the boy would have used to stab him was no where near the position it would need to be to be used.

Now Konrad very easily could’ve killed the assassin that came for him, but that would be proving himself wrong; and we can’t have that, can we? Besides death is nothing compared to vindication.

Sanguinius though is surprisingly simple. He could’ve just…not have gotten on board the Vengeful Spirit. Simple as that. But at the same time he had to, because that’s just the kind of person he is.

And now we Segway into the conclusion that KONRAD CURZE AND SANGUINIUS ARE JUST THOSE GUYS. KONRAD MADE MACRAGGE A LIVING HELL. BY HIMSELF. HE FOUGHT THE LION AND GUILLIMAN AT THE SAME TIME AND WAS HOLDING HIS OWN!!!SANGUINIUS CONTINUED TO THRUST HIMSELF INTO CONTINUOUSLY MORE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF “Fuck it we ball” ENERGY. LIKE HE FOUGHT AND KILLED KA’BHANDA AND ANGRON WITH LIKE A 30 SECOND BREAK IN BETWEEN EACH FIGHT. THATS NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE TITANS HE TROUNCED AT ETERNITY GATE. God damn. This pair of absolute madmen very well could’ve died at any point during their shenanigans, and they both only died when they decided to.

Fuck.

Took a lot more mangled torsos than I’d like to admit but I got it done. Before settling on a possessed torso I was gonna try and put something different there, but as it turns out the vampire part of the vengorian lord is way bigger than I thought. So I dug up some of the possessed sprues had lying around and started cutting shit. But yeah, I think he came out really well.

Kits used are the vengorian lord, chosen, and possessed
