Armies on Parade 2022

New Year, New Army, and the new project.

Me and my friend starting a new army project for 2022. We are going to choose a list for 2k pts and paint it with Armies on Parade target to display those armies in Warhammer World in Nottingham in December. Then we want to play a few games.

But there is another thing to it. I am like 15 years Imperial Fists player as well and managed to be a part of ultra-cosmic size awesomeness in 2017. We organized one of the biggest Imperial Fists vs Iron Warriors Heresy games ever in Warhammer World. Here you can find the details.

Following the massive fun I had with the Horus Heresy game with a few people from whole Europe, we want to invite you to join us for a big battle Order vs. Chaos.

How do we see it? Few Order players and same number or Chaos/Destruction or any evilish guys. When we determine the number of people we will go for some narrative background of the game. Will that be Realm of Fire, Shadow, or maybe Bright City siege? The sky is the limit to how we set it up. I want to focus on the modeling and painting side and push as far away from the competitive side of the game with that project. We all play tournaments/leagues during the year at our local clubs so having this project as a little pressure-free fun to work on is nice.

So far it’s two of us, Stormcasts players. I am in Poland atm but will move next few weeks to Germany. Spartan is in the UK. If you wanna join us give us a message via Instagram

Gastos Rhor Lord Commander of Unliving Avatars.

Long are the days when he had his peaceful days. Long gone is the time of clarity of mortal life. Only fate is now what holds him, force of Sigmar`s will and eternity of war against Chaos.

Agnus Kabe

Grand Master of The Relictor Temple.

Crusade genesis.

With the new chaos vortex on Bubonicus Tundra growing bigger and bigger every day we must march to the plains of this land, we must put Lightnig Storms to the place and purge it with Sigmar`s thunders. No more Malign Portents will affect this holy land of Sigmar! Nine Relictor Temple Lords will march unified! Under the one Relictor Chamber Master, under my command!

Lord Relictor Conversion

Those two minis is my first attempt to convert Stormcast Eternals. Very chunky and static, not that easy to make some decent poses as it is easy to make it with Horus Heresy legionaries miniatures. Oh well, done is better than perfect 😉

Lord Relictor of Exemplar Chamber is truly “knightly” one. Proud, confident and shiny with his prayer totem as a Sigmar`s shield. Lord Relictor of the Ruination Chamber is rather creepy with daemonic totem full of skulls, chains and with only small Sigmar Prayer Icon Box in the middle. He is death incarnate, calling his prayers close to Realm of Death!

What is Relictor Temple?

Relictor Temple

 

We do not know much about Relictor Temple. There is no information in Battle tome and no solid info in novels except Anvils of Heldenhammer keep their own Relictor Temple called Black Sepulchre with inordinate number of priests.  As we have short description in our Order Battletome on page 28:

A Stormhost is organised into several chambers and commanded in war by the Command Echelon –  graduates of the temples dedicated to the disciples of the officer cadre. It is within these temples that the Lord-Celestants, Lord-Relictors and other lords and knights of the Stormhost are trained and equipped before they are assigned to specific chambers.

Apart of this – no more detail.

Relictor Temple Crusade Army

Nine Lords. One for each Chamber. Nine avatars of transition between life and death. Nine of them united and standing together on the soil of Tundra Bubonicus. Surrounded by hundreds of Liberators, flanked each side by Dracothian Guard and backed with Judicators. They are here for simple purpose: to grind through daemons of Chaos, to cleanse the land of taint, mutation and evil.

 

Unliving Avatars march to war

Unliving Avatars

We go there with our hammers silent, we go there with our thirst for life to remember it as it was before. We go there for the warm taste of metal in enemy blood. We go there for Sigmar.

Prosecutors. Balance of power is changing.

They will come like crows diving sharp for the weak and dying prey. This dry noise of their wings, with silence in the background and unechoed thump of their feet hitting the ground. Soil wet with enemies blood, their ceremonial canvas flags waving heavy. Rod wings of aetherrion steel stained with gore. Nemesis and katharsis. They are Prosecutors.

Liberators. Enter the realm of lost hope.

It was a ghastly morning, not much different from dawn. You could only tell it is the start of the day by the dim spot on the sky where the sun used to be. They came without a sound. Lifeless, motionless, monumental. With Sigmar`s rage and wrath hidden under porcelain-like armour. Their anger and frenzy on hold. Not for long.

Story begins with a thunder

Gastos Rhor Host of Unliving Avatars

I am Gastos Rhor. I am the one of space and time where being is trapped and yet free to fight. I do no longer remember why am I here or when did I die. All my memories from other dimensions melted together in angry fury and frenzy of tangible violence. I fly through millenia of memories, strange banners flapping around shafts, dragons, shields and horses. All this seconds later transformed in visions of steel birds dropping burning comets of armageddon. I got no flesh, just starstone porcelain hard armour. I bath in blood and gore of those who oppose Sigmar. I am the master, I am the slave.

 

The idea of Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternal army came afte long brake from hobby. I was always dedicated Bretonnia fan and was playing this army for almost 20 years now. But with AoS going high fantasy towards Thor movie I was left with no idea how to fit Brets into the new environment. And then came ExProfundis blog with Jake`s Stormcasts

Perfect colour scheme, perfect idea and setting. I am going to develop this theme from where he stopped.
