Hello
All,
Thought
I would restart my blog again and track my life in the hobby once more
Been
on abit of a hiatus for the last year due to work commitments, but with a
change of job and location I have much work life balance allowing me to fit in
some hobby time :)
So
abit about me:
I
have been in the hobby from about 3rd edition 40k on and off but always kept my
toes in so to speak, I champion the forging the narrative side of gaming alot
more and play mostly campaigns and events based around this
I
have setup an ran two successful clubs in the UK, which I am proud are still
running strong now I have moved on :)
I am
moving from the Durham County area to East Yorkshire area just outside of York
for work and looking into getting back into a club and getting some games in
the near future
Participating
in the HCC challenge this year and excited at the prospect of finishing an army
for which plan to take to Warhammer world campaign weekend
Current
armies are:
Salamanders
2nd company: Aiming for company size force about half way there
Necrons
Dynasty: made up own section in the galaxy where this dynasty calls home, basically
a mixture of criminals, mercenary and prison worlds for
"malfunctioning" necrons
Lamenters
8th Company: at the time of the badab war, though thinking of changing this to
Hive Fleet battles
Harakonia
Drop Troops: Drop Troop army currently at 3k
Armoured
Company: insert name here, basically got an armoured company and super heavy
company in boxes.....yes I horde lol Hoping people could help me push these
forward with ideas etc
Think
that's enough of my waffling
Below
is the background for my latest project:
Dynasty Background:
Necrons Dynasty The Custos of
Poena:
The Necrons Dynasty The Custos of
Poena controls a small cluster of fringe worlds on the edges of the galactic
eastern rim. Also known as the Condemned Host, this small dynasty is both
feared and distrusted by most of the Necrons race.
The dark and rich history of this
dynasty starts during the great wars between the old ones and the C’tan. Not
all necron people were willing to give there humanity and souls to the C’tans
cause and many a rebellion was raised and quashed by the overlords of each
dynasty. Even after these opponents were defeated and lobotomized, quirks and
faults were common in these new warriors, some “malfunctioned” and attacked own
forces other commands did not register. The fallout from these rebellions and
aparentent faulty warriors was dealt with by the silent king. They would be
sent to the outer edge of necrons vast realm and be the first to be tested for
what later become known as the great sleep. Also many a experiment was
conducted by the Cryptek to try and fix and improve the faulty units, the realm
of Custos of Poena soon became a place of dread and legend for any
overlord or Nemessor that overstepped their mark and be sent there for
“atonement” and “reconditioning”
Tasked with overseeing this
undertaking were a number of Triarch Praetorians, known as the wardens of the
condemned. As the eons past the wardens waited for their kings commands, none
came. Soon Necrons mercenarily groups and outcasts flocked to this seeming
forgotten space of the galaxy, the wardens given no other command than to fix
the faulty units did nothing to discourage this. It is rumoured even some of
the Technoites hunted by the Silent King, fled to this realm and even now plot
and scheme there revenge.
Over the millennia many an intruder
and explorer has attempted to claim the lands from the wardens and outcasts but
all have been cast out and utterly annihilated to prevent information of its
location being discovered.
In M37 the silent king returned and with him knowledge of a new
threat to his people, the Tyranid race. The realm of Custos of Poena was one of
the first he reach being on the outer edges of the known galaxy. His new
instructions were the wardens prepare the armies of the condemned and fortify
the realm ready for the coming swarm…
plan to add more in the future for the dark harvest list I am
