My Warhammer 40k OC, Sergeant Nils Vernigora of the Valhallan 473rd armored division. He commands a Leman Russ crew with as much effectiveness as cynical sarcasm and a melta will allow...

Looks like my next major project is well underway. I don't think I've ever done this much green stuff sculpting at once, and I hope I never need to again! These are the Ogryns for my Valhallan Guard army. Naturally they needed masks to match the rest of the army, and they needed jackets to keep warm.

I knew it would be an ordeal to make these, but it took weeks of sculpting layer upon layer and piece by piece to get them to this point! After all, it's not like I could simply build them and then give them their parkas over top in their given poses. No! Almost everything had to be done separately and then pieced together after the fact, with their masks done last. But in the end I'm quite proud of how they turned out, so I suppose it was worth it.

So about those horus heresy brain worms...

I've been really wanting to focus on my armies that can work in both systems for a bit so I went ahead and finally got this lot done. They're a guardsman squad of valhallans for 40k and half of an Imperialis Militia infantry squad for 30k.

Traitor in either case, of course, but not chaos.

Well it seams that GW are taking a leaf out of the 2nd and 3rd ed Warhammer 40k editions in the new Astra Militarum codex.

I'm liking this revamp of the old lore it goes back nicely to the way I used to play and the great battle reports of old White Dwarf 😁👍

Remember days like this 👇 in 3rd Ed you could give doctrins to units to make them more like your regiment of choice!

Your army would be often a mix of regiments and heroes fighting together on any given Battlefield and backed up by the Lore.
