The Calliope of Chaos: The Mortis Engine

Here are the final shot of my newly completed Mortis Engine, the Calliope of Chaos
The Calliope of Chaos

This was a fun miniature to paint and assemble.  I decided to build the miniature into sub-assemblies, so that way it was easier to paint.  I assembled it into these sub sections:

  • Left Spirit Host
  • Right Spirit Host
  • 3 Banshees
  • The Carriage
  • The Gate
  • The Relic 
  • Corpse Master
I then painted all of the parts their various colors and then assembled together.  

West Side!!!

East Side!!!


I was going for a smokey, whisky, shadow-like color scheme for this miniature, as if the darkness was manifesting this morbidly haunting thing to bring death and ruin.  I really like this effect and I am satisfied with the overall result.

Back Shot of the Relic
I was most impressed with the way the Corpse Master looks on the miniature, I painted it a bright Teal before oil washing it, and it looks fittingly haunting.  

Over all, I love this model.  It was fun to assemble, even more fun to paint, and in the end; makes an awesome center piece for my army.

Necromunda Gang Rosters

Greetings Nation, on this post I am attaching the Blank Gang roster that I use for my latest Necromunda Campaign. One of my viewers, 4leyd4r, suggested that I make the rosters that I use available for others to use.  It's an awesome idea, and we're happy to help out our fellow brothers and sisters in gaming. I've uploaded this blank and editable Excel Spread Sheet onto my Google Drive.  You can download this Spread Sheet and edit it for your own campaigns.  I think it's a real handy tool to have to keep track of your gangs.   Just click on the link below to access this.

Updated Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team Map Based Campaign Rules

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team Map Based Campaign Rules By: Commander Cheapskate 1. THE CAMPAIGN MAP The  CAMPAIGN MAP consists of a series of Hexes which can be represented by using Gaming Tiles or a graphic map. Depending upon how many players are participating in the campaign, the size of the map and the selected turn limit with vary.
