My finished piece for the unfortunately not-funded Infernal Heritage zine, featuring my Nephlim Shift. (they/them)

While Shift is a tiefling, their beautiful clockwork wings have granted them the nickname of Clockwork Angel by some of those who have seen them in action.

I remember reading City of Bones back in 2011 for the first time. I must have loved it because I read the entire series via ebooks (I find it very hard to read anything longer than a novella via ebooks thee days) and I was so excited to watch the movie that came out a few years later. Given it had been more than a decade since I read the books, I decided to start my reread of the Mortal…

I lost. A lot.

As a recap, I took along my Wolfspear Vanguard Spearhead army. 50Pl list, but with 75Pl worth of models.

We(all 50-ish of those there) were assigned into 1 of 4 teams. I was put into the defilers'. Now what exactly the moody sons of Russ that the Wolfspear are, are actually defiling I'll leave up to you.

Game 1: Martian AdMech - Narrow the search

Things looked promising at the start. I had enough units in concealed positions that I could control the centre reasonably well. Then the invictor ate a neutron laser to the face, my incursors got acquainted with the business end of tasers & the less said about the eliminators the better. But hey, the Phobos Librarian wrote a mighty saga as he carved through an entire squad of raiders, a cavalcade of rust-stalkers before sticking his sword into a dragoon. Which took it very calmly and promptly blew up in his face, killing him.

End result: Loss

Game 2: Tryannids - Can't remember the mission name but it was the 6 objectives, find the real one

This could've gone better. Decided to play defensively, bide my time like a patient wolf and methodically find the real objective. The only problem with this plan? It required my forces to exist in the first place. Unfortunately my opponent had an incredible game 1 and his bugs were already fairly buffed and they promptly walked all over me. Was over by the end of round 3.

End result: loss

Game 3: Torchbearer Fleet - Cut off the head

My first game against a narrative force! And a good mission! What could go wrong, it had 2 objectives, I had 2 characters which wanted to be on them, and I could deploy on them unlike my opponent.

What went wrong was a genetically engineered demi-god in gold basically walking through my librarian before he could cast anything to charge his relic force sword up. The las-eliminators getting drive-by'ed by a storm speeder probably could've been avoided. But it was neck and neck for so long

End result: Loss

I've been trying to do Unknownspy's Dresstober prompts! I'm super behind, but these are my guys, gals and enby pals I've done so far ❤
