September update



September update

This month has been busy, but unfortunately not on the gaming front.

I've recently moved home, so that has been taking up most of my time.

 However i haven't been idle , i do still have a few new and some ongoing projects. (even started playing Magic:the gathering commander)

Now with Skelp gaming event only week away and Skirmish livingston near the end of October.  i still need to paint up an Urban war gaming table, which i will post up a building step by step.

i will also be continuing with my Warhammer 40'000 Orks, and my new warmaster ancients Norman army.Both armies only 1000pts each.

On the topic of Orks i manged to get in a quick test game against a Salamander space marine force, i had forgotten how brutal Orks in close combat are. Once my Orks are finished being painted I'll do a battle report for them and post the game.

Dark Sentinels Deathwatch RPG


Dark Sentinels - Deathwatch RPG


Dark Sentinels

This chapter was created using the make your own chapter rules  in the Deathwatch supplement rites of battle.

First a little background
The chapter comes from a hidden Jungle world, even though its not a deathworld, it's not without its deadly natural predators native to its harsh jungles. A dark stalagmite of steel pierce's out of the sea of green serves as the chapters fortress monastery
 It's native people are stern, specialising in stealth to hunt, but they always knew they had a higher purpose. Only the strongest are chosen to enter the oppressive spire and become an aspirant of the Dark Sentinels



The chapter has always been clouded in mystery. History doesn't tell when they were founded, its possible these details are held deep in the vaults of their mountainous fortress monastery.

It's  a chapter that excels in terror tactics their armour is a deep blue adorned with symbols of faith and fear. although terrifying in appearance they revere the emperor above all, even above their primarch, Rogal Dorn.
On alladar prime they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Iyanden craftworld, many battle brother still hold deep hatred towards them
