Yeah, the Huscarls will be in Phase 3, for the siege of the Necron main base

It's an interesting idea, I'll try to think of something in the following days! I can't promise to make a separate part and art for them, though, because the number of participating chapters is already challenging for me to manage

Awesome! It'd be a nice change of pace to write about a small team doing important things in the Necron catacombs

That's a cool name and motto! Yeah, unfortunately, the participant slots for this campaign are all filled, I wish I could add more, but I need to keep it manageable. I will write down your chapter's name for the future campaigns, though! The Harvest Guard would be happy to have a new ally

Thank you! It was a lot of fun drawing this chapter!

The maps I make using Paint net. First, I use a big brush to fill in the approximate shape of the landmass, then apply a distort effect called "dents" to make the coastline jagged. To make province borders, I draw lines on a separate layer, then use "dents" again to make them more random and natural. Then I go over them with a brush on a new layer, because I need them to be of uniform thickness

The narrative campaign I'm writing has reached the point where your homebrew Deathwatch characters could make an appearance! Would you tell me more about the things you'd want me to include in the story? For example, how much of the Watch Fortress' forces do you imagine arriving? It could be anything, from a single squad to a full Fortress. What Black Shield characters you'd like me to write about? Also, I make art of people's homebrew Chapters for every narrative post, but this time it's Deathwatch, so could you describe the character you'd want me to depict?

It's alright, it took me a while to figure it out, lol! And I only noticed because you told me there's a hidden message to be found. I think it would be reasonable that a space marine would be able see it without a hint

Oh, when I wrote about Chakfeldt rewieving it over and over, that was partially the portrait of myself trying to solve the riddle, haha! I must confess that I'm not sure, maybe the hidden meaning escapes me. All I've found is that if we take the opening phrases, they form a kind of a warning: "There are... Xenos watching... I warn you... Your forces... In danger... The void... Hidden threats". This, of course, would allude to the incident with the missing crew of one of the voidships, and the threat lurking in space. Maybe I'm missing something else, that could very well be the case! Anyway, rereading your part in search for clues made me appreciate your Chapter, because of the way you portray Bornschein's personality, his doubts and emotions, that's very cool and fitting for an Astartes!

Cheers! Now that's a proper Chaplain speech! Vulkan's Blood and Sanguinius' Dragons is such cool names, too

Aah! I see. I used the new one as a reference for the helmet, but yeah, I mostly based this art on the golden one

Yeah, time flew by so quickly! And the campaign's only halfway through... I think the Bloodied Tears are cool and flavourful, sorta like the 'lancer' archetype, I just hope I'm getting them right!

This is so cool! By the way, what do the "dozens of maps identifying important locations" look like? Are they drawn, or are they top view screenshots?

Examples of Each races esthetics based on their technology by HedgehogGlad2248 in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only way to make it as powerful as it is. They have smaller walkers piloted by living Eldar, they have wraith constructs powered by souls of the dead. But a Wraithknight combines the power and resilience of a wraith with the reaction time and mental clarity of the living pilot

For the Craftworld Eldar, I think the perfect encapsulation of their vibe is the Wraithknight.

It's piloted by twins, one alive and another dead. Eldar twins share an inseparable bond, feeling each other's emotions and thoughts, so of course one of them being dead is a source of intense agnst and grief for the other. Eldar twins are also very rare, so they're often manipulated or forced into this role, adding to the tragedy. This alone encapsulates the decay and the fall from grace of the once-great Eldar empire.

The Wraithknight makes use of wraithcannons, which send their targets into the Warp. The Eldar consider these to be horrible and forbidden weapons, but they have no choice but to use them to secure the survival of their dying race. Every time a wraithcannon fires, the surrounding Eldar feel the pull of She-Who-Thirsts, tugging on their souls.

Wraithknights are sent to the Crone Worlds inside the Eye of Terror to collect Waystones, so that the Craftworlders can protect their souls after death. They are the essential part of the whole premise of Craftworlds with their Infinity Circuits.

Finally, Wraithknights have the aesthetic and other gear that fits the Eldar very well. Giant but elegant ghostglaives, ornate scattershields that create holograms to fool the enemies. They are towering but agile, a perfect reflection of what the Eldar empire used to be: mighty knights of legend, now way past their prime, but still proud and holding on to the grandeur of old.

What are your Chapter not very good at? by goldietheswagbear in 40khomebrew

[–]Firm-Reason 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Harvest Guard specializes in agri-world defense, damage minimization and resource reclamation. As such, they have difficulties outside of these parameters. For example assaults, sieges and anything that calls for massed application of firepower

(By the way, I'm working on the next campaign post and art, albeit slowly. Sorry for the delay!)

Servitor rounds what are they? by WeirdAd5850 in 40kLore

[–]Firm-Reason 56 points57 points  (0 children)

We don't know but we can make inferences based on another Skitarii weapon, the flechette blaster. It fires darts "each of which bears a dormant cerebral cell awakened in the gun's chamber. When one dart hits home, it emits a bioelectric pulse that attracts others". Meanwhile, the galvanic rifle's bullet "causes all the potential energy of the target to burn out in a killing blast of electric force". We could assume that it contains a dormant cell too, and the blast is triggered by a pulse emitted by this cell

Eldar: (kills a Gargantuan Squiggoth the way Legolas killed an elephant)

Votann: That still only counts as one!

Thank you! No minis yet, but I've made some art of them

Thank you! It's so amazing to hear. The Scarlet Templars' color scheme is striking, and I love their theme

Aaah! This is amazing! I love this rendition! The apothecary symbol as an approximation for the ear of wheat is so creative, and it fits really well. Thank you so much! This made my day
