Armiger Warglaives
After I finished my Lancer with the gauntlet and spear instead of the extend-o-matic lance, I still really loved the idea of that lance, as it made melee weapons on a knight seem so much more feasible. And apparently LittlePlasticPeople had the same idea because he made some amazing Armiger extend-o-matic melee weapon STLs, and they were what I needed to really love my armigers. I’m not enthralled by the base armiger design, but the LPP chainlance and some alternate more knightly looking heads from Taromodelmaker made me really fall in love with these lil guys. The head that look…
Questoris-Pattern Knight Errant, Jugement du Soleil
I had originally planned to get more Questoris knights, since they are more flexible in their load outs, but once I had the Lancer and the Acheron, I sort of felt a need to get a matched set. And with the three Cerastus frames, there was only room for the one Questoris frame, which worked out great, as I made this the knight of a House Beaumaris noble mother with three daughters. This Questoris has gone through a number of loadout changes. It originally started with dual battlecannons, a Knight Twinstrike, perhaps. Then I started to consider dual thermal cannons,…
Cerastus-Pattern Knight Acheron, Tempête Infernale
This knight was very generously gifted to me one Christmas by a friend after he had won it in a narrative event raffle and he know that I was working on a knight army. I assembled, primed, and base coated it pretty quickly, and then I had some other events coming up and other focuses (Mordheim, Necromumda), so it sat half finished for awhile. And then, unfortunately, I started a rough sort of depressed patch in my life, following a surprise, one-sided divorce, and found myself with excessive amounts of time on my hands and a need to do something…
Cerastus-Pattern Knight Champion, Lance Illimitée
I’ve had this Knight Lancer kit for a good while longer than the other knights in this army. I ran it for awhile as a Lord of War along with my Ultramarines, and always planned on making a Knight army, but always had other projects. I always thought the sort of “integral” lance on the Lancer looked a little funny, though I did love the extend-o-matic nature of it. But I got hands and a sword from Taromodelmaker, because I wanted this knight to be special, my “main character” sort of knight of the army. Unfortunately, I found over time,…
Martian Terrain and Astartes Base
This table has been a long time in the making! But from as soon as I started playing the Horus Heresy, I knew I wanted a dedicated table. And not just a neoprene mat and terrain, but a table with actual texture and topography. I debated early on about making this in three sections to make it easier to take in and out, but in the end, I decided the unblemished terrain was the vision, and I ended up making this whole terrain surface inset enough into the table that I can put a cover over top of it to…
Sicaran Omega Tank
The Sicaran Omega Finis Virtutis (End of Valour) was employed by the 121st Chapter as a specialist counter to heavily armored infantry and veteran formations of the Traitor Legions. Equipped with the formidable Omega plasma array, the vehicle was capable of inflicting catastrophic losses upon concentrations of Terminator-armored infantry and other elite troops whose destruction by conventional means might otherwise demand a costly assault. Vehicularis Legionaries Commander Vibia Loran (Commander) Specialist Helena Corda (Gunner) Specialist Livia Taron (Driver) Wargear Turret-Mounted Omega Plasma Array Sponson-Mounted Lascannon x 2 Heavy Bolter x 1 Smoke Launchers
Predator Support Tanks with Conversion Beamers
Armored Support: Predator Support Tank Longa Manus The Predator Support Tank Longa Manus (Long Hand) acquired its designation during the Scouring, when its heavy conversion beamer proved particularly effective against the fortified positions of the Iron Warriors. Operating at extreme engagement ranges, the vehicle was employed in the systematic destruction of bunkers, artillery emplacements and enemy armor, frequently neutralizing defensive positions before the Chapter’s advancing formations came within range of their weapons. Vehicularis Legionaries Commander Sabina Voss (Commander) Specialist Livia Coren (Gunner) Specialist Tessa Maro (Driver) Wargear Turret-Mounted Heavy Conversion Beamer Cannon Sponson-Mounted Lascannons x 2 Smoke Launchers Augury Scanner…
Middenheim Warband: The Carroburg Crows
The basis for this warband was entirely the amazing range of models I found via Black Scorpion Miniatures. They looked historical enough to not set off any of my “fantasy bullshit” alarms with the armor, or weapons, or outfits, but also didn’t feel so specific that they felt like actual historical miniatures. Like my other two warbands, I used some Army Painter speed paints as the base colors for these, followed by a brown oil wash with Mr. Weathering Stain Brown, and then details and highlights. I chose a primary unifying color of blue and white, though extremely loosely. I…
Dreadnought Drop Pod
The Dreadnought Drop Pod Ferrum Caelum (Iron Sky) was among the longest-serving orbital insertion craft assigned to the 121st Chapter’s 2nd Company, its operational history extending to the latter decades of the Great Crusade. Employed in planetary compliance actions, voidborne assaults and contested orbital insertions, the vessel was responsible for delivering the Chapter’s Dreadnought ancients directly into heavily defended landing zones. Although its guidance cogitators, retro-thruster assemblies and internal restraint mechanisms underwent repeated refurbishment, the original armoured shell remained in service throughout the Horus Heresy. Wargear Impact Reactive Doors
Veteran Tactical Squad Helikon
Among the veteran formations of the 121st Chapter’s 2nd Company, Tactical Squad Helikon was distinguished by its extensive employment of volkite weaponry and particular proficiency in the destruction of massed enemy infantry. Equipped with volkite chargers and culverins, the squad developed a reputation for the precise coordination of overlapping fields of fire, exploiting the devastating thermal effects of their weapons to inflict disproportionate casualties upon numerically superior foes.

Escher Gang: Steel City Harlots
PICTURE TK I knew when I was first thinking of starting Necromunda, that Eschers would be my faction. And it was a chance to break out of the blues and grays and whites of the Ultramarines and use some really vibrant colors. I had this vision of pink and purple, inspired a bit by the synthwave trend, but not too heavily influenced by it. I ended up using inks to try to get a more vibrant color, but in the end I went back in with some airbrush pink on top of it all anyhow, which gave me a brighter,…
Forge Lord: Maris Torvane
Forge Lord Maris Torvane presided over the 121st Chapter’s armouries and technical cadres throughout the latter campaigns of the Great Crusade and the Shadow Crusade. Torvane was noted for her unusually permissive approach, allowing for considerable latitude in matters of maintenance, modification and battlefield expediency, provided that the operational integrity of the Chapter’s wargear was preserved.

Techmarine Covenant: Livia Rhune
Techmarine Livia Rhune frequently employed components recovered from damaged or abandoned wargear, devising improvised repairs that often departed considerably from approved Mechanicum procedures. Though her work was routinely criticized for its crude construction and disregard for established technical doctrine, its effectiveness was seldom disputed.

Skaven Warband: The Fangs of the Night-Dark
For my second warband, I decided on Skaven, since one of my long-term goals is do some narrative battle report videos, and Skaven are just sort of such an omnipresent force within WHFB and Mordheim. I also loved the idea of little rat men. Like my other warbands, I used some Army Painter speed paints as the base colors for these, followed by a brown oil wash with Mr. Weathering Stain Brown, and then details and highlights. For the bases I used broken coffee stir sticks, with the idea that they inhabited a ruined inn near a great square. I…
Rapier Battery Squad Davion
Rapier Carrier Battery Davion was distinguished among the artillery formations of the 121st Chapter for its proficiency in battlefield interdiction and the controlled application of overwhelming firepower. Principally equipped with quad launchers, the battery was employed to disrupt enemy advances, suppress fortified positions and deny critical avenues of approach. Where heavier armoured targets were anticipated, its Rapier carriers could instead be fitted with laser destroyer arrays, allowing the formation to fulfil a broader range of tactical requirements. Of particular note was an extremely restricted employment of phosphex munitions, though the armament was still employed in rare cases. Squad Legionaries Sergeant…
Undead Warband: Court of the Pale Lady
For my first warband, I chose Undead because I liked the idea of having a very a central emotional and narrative figure, but I had trouble finding a vampire that I liked. There were some more monstrous vampire options available, which I liked, and then there were a whole lot of “tits out” vampire STLs available too. Then I found Annika, the Thirsting Blade and she was perfect, but just needed a new head to fit the Lahmian appearance, so I went looking for a suitably Frazetta-esque head. I ended up finding a sculpt of a “Martian Princess” which worked…
Sicaran Arcus Tank
The Sicaran Arcus Tank Tertius Bellum (Third War) was reconstructed from the surviving components of three vehicles destroyed during the Betrayal at Calth. Its composite armour retained visible evidence of the fighting, including extensive thermal scoring and impact damage that the Chapter’s artificers elected not to remove during its restoration. The vehicle’s machine spirit was noted for its irregular responses to routine activation and maintenance procedures, a condition attributed by some of the Chapter’s Techmarines to the incompatibility of its salvaged systems. Despite these difficulties, Tertius Bellum maintained an exceptional record of combat effectiveness. Vehicularis Legionaries Commander Petra Venn (Commander)…
Veteran Assault Squad Ardentis
Veteran Assault Squad Ardentis was among the formations raised during the reconstitution of the 121st Chapter following the catastrophe at Calth. Drawn principally from Inductii who had survived the earliest retaliatory campaigns against the Traitor Legions, the squad represented a new generation of Ultramarines whose martial experience had been acquired almost entirely amid the brutal warfare of the Shadow Crusade.

Techmarine Covenant: Corvina Cauris
Techmarine Corvina Cauris maintained extensive records of mechanical failures, battlefield damage, and subsequent repairs. Her assessments were regarded as unusually thorough, though she was often accused of being overly critical of the practices of her fellow Techmarines. Cauris considered such scrutiny a necessary duty of her office, and rarely offered further explanation.

Tarantula Sentry Turrets: Hyperios Anti-Air Missile
Hyperios-pattern Tarantula Sentry Platforms provided the 121st Chapter with autonomous anti-aircraft protection, supplementing the Legion’s conventional air defense assets during planetary assaults and prolonged defensive operations. Equipped with dedicated tracking auspex and missile guidance systems, these platforms were capable of independently acquiring and engaging hostile aircraft or operating under the direction of a centralized command network. Wargear Hyperios Missile Launcher x 2 Automated Fire Protocols
Tarantula Sentry Turrets: Heavy Bolter
Tarantula Sentry Guns provided autonomous fire support for fortified positions, landing zones, and rear-echelon installations. Notably, the 2nd Chapter’s Tarantula batteries were configured to interface with Ultramarines’ command-vox protocols, permitting their targeting priorities and engagement parameters to be coordinated by officers of the Legion’s signals cadre. Under the direction of Master of Signals Carina Ventana, such deployments could be integrated into wider defensive fire plans, allowing the Chapter to maintain effective perimeter security without committing additional Legionaries. Wargear Twin Heavy Bolter x 2 Automated Fire Protocols Kitbash Bolter Effects are from Deadly Print Studios
Siegebreaker: Cassiana Mortivane
Siegebreaker Cassiana Mortivane was regarded as one of the 121st Chapter’s foremost authorities on siegecraft and the reduction of fortified positions. Possessed of an exceptional aptitude for identifying structural vulnerabilities and weaknesses in defensive dispositions, she was frequently entrusted with the planning and execution of the Chapter’s most demanding siege operations.

Tactical Support Squad Caeloria
Tactical Support Squad Caeloria was distinguished among the specialist formations of the 121st Chapter for its proficiency in close-range anti-armor warfare and the destruction of fortified positions. Equipped with melta weaponry and frequently deployed by orbital drop pod assault, the squad was employed against heavily defended objectives where conventional infantry advances had been halted by enemy armour or entrenched resistance.

Legion Champion: Aurenthia Valensar
Legion Champion Aurenthia Valensar served as the principal martial champion of the 121st Chapter, earning considerable renown for her victories in single combat against the champions and commanders of enemy forces. Eschewing the elaborate displays of martial prowess favoured by some of her contemporaries, Valensar was noted for a methodical and disciplined approach to combat, regarding the defeat of enemy champions as a tactical necessity rather than an opportunity for personal distinction.

Heavy Support Squad Valthera
Heavy Support Squad Valthera was distinguished among the 121st Chapter’s fire support formations for its versatility in the employment of missile weaponry. Rather than being assigned fixed targets or narrowly defined objectives, the squad was frequently positioned to support multiple sectors of an advance, providing responsive fire against enemy armour, infantry concentrations, aircraft and fortified emplacements as tactical circumstances demanded. Squad Legionaries Sergeant Mercenia Valthera Legionary Honoria Glaucis Legionary Demetria Solvindis Legionary Vitaria Glorenthea Legionary Cornelia Sidera Legionary Athenara Novellia Legionary Maxima Celandra Legionary Sabatia Umbra Legionary Elaria Numentha Legionary Lucilla Therannis Wargear Frag Missiles Krak Missiles Flak Missiles Bolt…
Master of Descent: Athira Solanis
A specialist in the coordination of rapid planetary assaults, Master of Descent Athira Solanis was particularly adept at identifying viable landing zones and establishing defensible positions before enemy forces could mount an effective response. Unlike many officers of comparable seniority, Solanis habitually accompanied the initial assault waves, directing the deployment of her Legionaries from the forefront of the engagement.

Scorpius Missile Tanks
Armored Support: Scorpius Missile Tank Descent’s Guardian The Scorpius Missile Tank Descent’s Guardian acquired its designation following its first recorded engagement, during which it was committed to the defense of a crippled Thunderhawk gunship brought down behind contested lines. Establishing a firing position overlooking the wreckage, the vehicle maintained a sustained bombardment of approaching enemy formations until the surviving passengers and crew could be evacuated. Although the Thunderhawk’s pilots perished in the crash, all other personnel were successfully recovered. The tank was subsequently renamed by its crew in recognition of the action, and continued to serve with distinction throughout the…
Heavy Support Squad Ostoria
Heavy Support Squad Ostoria was among the principal anti-armor formations of the 121st Chapter, distinguished by its employment of massed lascannon fire against enemy war engines, fortified positions, and other heavily protected targets. Unlike the more versatile missile-equipped support formations of the Chapter, Squad Ostoria was employed primarily in the destruction of targets whose armor or structural integrity rendered conventional infantry weapons ineffective. Squad Legionaries Sergeant Decima Ostoria Legionary Marea Vulcana Legionary Iris Subria Legionary Cassiopeia Nivora Legionary Calliope Aurorae Legionary Octaviana Belinda Legionary Sylvia Juliana Legionary Cressida Lyrienne Legionary Thalassa Bellatrix Legionary Elysiora Nuvielle Wargear Lascannon x 10 Bolt…
Fulmentaris Squad Antheia
Fulmentarus Squad Antheia was distinguished among the specialist Terminator formations of the 121st Chapter for its exceptional proficiency in the calculated application of long-range firepower. Rather than concentrating solely upon the destruction of enemy combatants, the squad employed detailed assessments of terrain, structural vulnerabilities, and enemy dispositions to identify targets whose elimination would produce the greatest tactical advantage.
