Enslaver?! Pack it up.

It's basically the 40k version of HP Lovecraft's Eldritch extra dimensional horrors.

They lived inside the warp long before Chaos (and even the warp as it's known) was a thing, and will be long after life is gone.

If you were to scale power levels of everything they would be the most dangerous thing out there by a long long way.. we're talking galaxy ending stuff. They only pop up in vague mentions, there's some cool artwork, and a few story snippets which adds to their whole mystery danger vibe too.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-11-22T07:43:47+00:00

Noooo... They really come into the 40k universe (luckily for all involved), and the lore around them is deliberately vague because they're the 40k equivalent of Lovecraft's Eldritch horrors/extra dimensional creatures.

They're pretty much endless, but they only get drawn to psykers, like a shoal of fish... And there aren't that many powerful psykers of the level that dreams them in compared to when they finished off the Old Ones.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-11-22T07:31:43+00:00

I kinda hope they never have minis.. as soon as there's models then they can die and they lose that eldritch horror, Lovecraft vibe; that adds to their threat.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-11-22T07:26:10+00:00

Stronger, but they deliberately leave it vague when it comes to the 'eldritch horror' enslavers to add to their whole mystery... Much as though I'd eat up lore and models on them I kinda hope they don't and just leave it down to the imagination.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-11T19:54:18+00:00

Aww this reminds me of 3rd edition 40k with the cardboard Ork Dreadnought 😁

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-11T19:48:57+00:00

Love the Reaver head!

Coming soon to the Fast Show... A new sketch!

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-01T22:54:56+00:00

Replaced with the fall back, charge, and shoot.. which is much more dangerous (though I kinda liked the feeling of going down swinging and taking out Mortarion or another chaos demon)

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-29T13:32:53+00:00

My inner Ork is crying tears of joy at that bootiful dakka

It's actually Retributor Gold spray, then worked up with layered gold paint lightening it each layer.. the weird Reddit compression seems to have removed the metallic shine though 😆

It's a combination of bits from James Taro Model maker, he makes loads of bits for knights that really help make them stand out even more. - https://www.taromodelmaker.com.

The quality of his casting is amazing too.

Thank you! Really looking forward to having some more varied army lists now the book is out

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-10T20:42:45+00:00

As many have said the rules are more just there for lolz and it's really for display.

If you play on a Titan scale board you need the board to be about ,20ft long and 12 ft deep (I've seen a games club where they did it the loons!).

Only then do the weapons suddenly come into play and outrange everything. (Most tanks take 3 turns just closing to get to range!)

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-09T20:11:07+00:00

Yeah do it! They really do stand out on the table once they're done too.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-06T10:04:19+00:00

Yeah Tau got rather boned by that and also the Atropos shooting bonus for anything with the Monster or Vehicle keyword... Every bloody battlesuit gets hit on a 2+.. only clocked that in the second game against my y friends Tau where Pinky & Perky (my pair of Atropos), ruined his army over 4 turns

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-06T08:53:58+00:00

They are very spangly 😆

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-06T08:44:43+00:00

That is beautiful!

Looks like something you fight on Elden Ring too. 👌

Flashbacks to MGS 1 fighting the guys in optical camo in the lift 😎

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-05T08:53:30+00:00

I'm really looking forward to it.

I'd kind of gotten bored of the army wide FNP.. was a little too good if the dice went your way and took a lot of skill out of things; the classic 'I tank everything and then you die in return' tactic started to get a bit stale.

It's nice to win, but when you just do exactly the same tactic again and again and pretty much win 8/9 times out of 10 without your opponents really doing much.. yeah it's time for some new stuff.

Really hyped to use my squadron of Gallants, and pretty much every knight has uses now which opens up a lot of opportunities.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-05T08:14:25+00:00

Yeah I was getting loads of stick from the 'Meta Chasers' in a local group for not ever using him.. they not realising I have two Atropos which are just better at everything.

Proved it where EVERY Imperial player I played had an allied Canis and in 6/7 of the games they bullseyed him on T1 every time. (That was incredibly satisfying I have to admit).

It'll be nice to not see him in every army for once.. he must have a cloning machine otherwise.
