The Act of Witnessing: Lorgar Aurelian, The Urizen, The Golden, The Voice of Truth

Howdy folks!

Just wanted to show off my Lorgar Aurelian! I completed him back in early October but never got around to posting him. Surprisingly an easy model to paint and TONS of fun! Kind of makes me want to paint a few more primarchs.... oh dear...

The Act of Witnessing - Zardu Layak, "The Crimson Apostle" and his Blade Slaves



Zardu Layak and his blade slaves are not only one my favorite Age of Darkness kits, but they have so much flavor to narrative gaming! I have used Zardu thrice in narrative events and a handful of times in friendly games and man'o'man does he bring a lot to the table!

The ability to summon daemons with no penalty for doubles (Daemon!) is pretty fantastic! In my most recent outing, he successfully summoned Daemontettes, Bloodletters, and Plaguebearers in a single game! Granted, I lost the mission by 1, it put my opponent on the back foot and mad him second guess a lot of his decisions!

I've run him a couple times on his own and/or attached to a unit of Gal Vorbak in a Spartan, but I am a bit more keen on bringing his entourage. For 100 points, I bring quite the threat and some solid meatshields as well. I usually like to play midfield with them while taking cover within ruins. Gives me a lot of flexibility on where my Daemons need to go.

The one downside to using him in my current army is that I don't really run any Ashen Circle (soon!) which he makes troops. Oddly enough, this ability is actually his Warlord trait. Thus, I typically make my Chaplain my Warlord  for added benefit.

Act of Witnessing: Lorgar and the Bearers

Greetings! The Heresy continues as I finally assembled our great lord and savior, Lorgar, Master of the Word Bearers, Aurelian, The Urizen, The Golden, The Voice of Truth!  In truth, his cloak was a real pain in the ass. Getting it to stay in it's spot and hold while you glue in the next pieces was a real challenge. Not the worst, but enough to make me roll my eyes. It had better not fall off in battle...



After a month and half of running my Plasma Support Squad and Seekers Squad without paint, I decided it was time to get to work. Playing with unpainted models is the worst kind of Heresy,  and I only like the good kind! You know, the kind that abandons the treacherous theocratic oligarchy that imposes an iron fist of fascism and slavery!!! Sorry... I get a little carried away. *ahem* Death to the False Emperor.

Below is a spreadsheet I designed to keep myself on a strict path of legion organization. I wanted each unit to have something unique to them outside of the specialty units. I didn't want all of my basic infantry units to run the same scheme over and over and over and over...

As you can see in the picture above, my Seekers have black helmets (though I still need to paint their backpacks black) and my support squads have black right arms and hands as well as black backpack vents.

When all is said and done, you should be able to look at my force and easily distinguish each squad, even without looking their weapons.

Also, I'm working on a box dread with two Twin-Linked Lascannons for popping fliers out of the sky ;)


Cheers! Until next time!
