The Black Kraken, Tordrek Hackhart's ingenious creation, really captures the spirit of a terrifying sea creature - if anyone could build such a metallic behemoth, then it would be a crazed Chaos Dwarf Engineer. The articulated tentacles lend a sense of the sinister to what is already an esoteric…

An enormous cadaver the size of a Skaven underwarren, the sea-monster's insides have become a maze of crude scaffold and pitted brass spheres, each of which buzzes with tainted warp lightning. It is this fell energy that sustains the crew and powers the crackling warpstone weaponry bound to the…

Miniature Review You likely spotted in my last post that I'd been working on the monsters alongside the dragon and dirigible. There's only three of them, but they're all unique and once again add some more colour to the table. The sail being torn to pieces is really cool, and I like the smaller…

Miniature Review Most of the boats come with its own auxiliary. In most cases it's a small ship, but as I want to paint them together with the main ships I won't cover them here. That leave two miniatures, the Grimnir's Thunder's Dirigible and the Seadrake's Dragon. Both are fairly simple…

Miniature Review To continue on with avoiding the boats I painted all the playing pieces. The Wind Gauge token has a lot of great detail on it, and is completely different on both sides.

Canis Wolfborn is one of the most feral and destructive warriors on all of Fenris. Raised by a pack of Fenrisian wolves in the snow-swept wilderness of Fenris, he is wolf-brother to mighty Fangir, the largest and most powerful of all the Thunderwolves. In battle they are an inseparable whirlwind…

From the Mountains of the Maelstrom come the legendary Thunderwolves, hulking beasts with jaws so strong they can chew through steel. There are several known instances of senior Space Wolves tracking down and ‘breaking in’ Thunderwolves, and this practice, thought to be an initiation ritual into…

Unlike most Space Marine riders, who use their bikes for reconnaissance, the Swiftclaws' main roles are demolitions and close assault operations. Blood Claws are by nature eager for battle, and many are so intoxicated with the power and speed of a Space Marine Bike that they demand permanent…
