Warp Wyrms Project Log - Entry 1

Greetings Gamers, 

Gravius here with a small update to my Warp Wyrms Project Log (which started here). This week I’ll be delving into the process I used to slap a bit of paint onto my Heldrake.

First off I’ve got to say the Heldrake was an instant favourite of mine when it was released. I know it’s a controversial model both in terms of its power on the board and it’s aesthetics but my reason for liking it was simple. It’s a dragon! In fact, better than that, it’s a warplane dragon!

Warp Wyrms Chaos Warband

Today I’ll be starting a Project Log which will follow the creation of my Chaos Warband, the Warp Wyrms. These devoted followers of Tzeentch were once members of a Salamanders successor Chapter, known as the Flaming Talons, founded during M36. However, during their first campaign, to protect a system from a tentacle of Hive Fleet Goliath, misfortune dogged the Chapter. Equipment would fail at inopportune moments, weapons would jam, the teleporters of their capital ship malfunctioned altering coordinates or simply obliterating members of the 1^st company and communications equipment would fail, preventing requests for reinforcements and the warning of nearby systems. Unable to stop the advance of Goliath several vessels attempted warp jumps to warn nearby systems and ready defences. All of these vessels failed to arrive. Before the end of M36, the Flaming Talons had disappeared from Imperial Record, which battle truly ended the Chapter is not recorded, but it is certain their appalling luck had a lot to do with it. Now, as we approach the zenith of M41, fringe systems have reported sightings of archaic vessels bearing markings reminiscent of a chapter long since dead.
