Void Admiral: Zylons vs Technocrats vs Nobke Houses

The Ambassador put his glass on the ornate table next to the ancient sofa. Forcefield flared as he tested systems, his table would not get pushed over by the Emperor's arrival displacement. The Med-Bot was securely comfortable in his 'cat tower', a tray of mixed nuts and bolts attached to the tower; somewhere in the distance of the Ambassadorial residence, printers were working hard, no doubt lining up replacement shells for the Diplomatic Droid, who was also no doubt fussing over sone minutiae. A three-headed Megladon snack swam through the Imperial visitors tank. All was perfect. "Oh, two base stars just jumped into the system," the Med-Bot noted, "they must be serious." "They seem awfully interested in those two civilian mining ships in this volume, wonder why?" the Ambassador joined in, "he's late." "Not like he ever sticks to any schedule," the Diplomatic Droid interjected over comms. The Ambassador twitched, as if ...

(If you can call a type 40 Tardis and a red phonebox modern) Plinths might get figures s statues one year! Top/inside view

Warhammer 40000 Sisters of Battle build and paint project

I have not played 40k since the mid 00's, but a couple of months ago I really enjoyed a game of Combat Patrol (40k light with fixed forces). It would have been easy to go Nids (which I have played in campaigns) or Marines, or revert to Tau or Grey Knights, my two previous forces, but I decided to try something different. Very different. Which has been tempting me for a while and always fascinated me as a design concept. Sisters of Battle or Adeptus Soritas. Nuns with guns. Utter loony loyalists with religous fervour, armour, guns, iconography and fanatical devotion to The Pope The Emperor! So, over the next (insert indeterminate) period of time, I will be building, painting and posting about the Adeptus Soritas Combat Patrol.    Soritas Unit Sisters of Battle Research 7/10, Build 6/10, Paint 8/10,  Fun 9/10 I stayed away from the GW suggested red and black scheme, and went with something more fun, purple and gold. A lot ...
