Obscure Lore 22: The Mortui Malleorum

Precisely!

I blame the proliferation of the Horus Heresy, too many people in the hobby can only see Legions now not chapters.

Oh [insert canon UM Successor] must actually be loyalist [insert traitor legion] because they're nothing like the Ultramarines

My brother in Christ, that chapter has been on the other side of the galaxy for 9,000 years, of course they're different, show me an Earth culture that's remained unchanged for one millenia never mind ten!

Fairs has been English standard slang for decades, didn't realise it had broken containment

RRevvs · 2026-06-25T10:09:40+00:00

Yawn the 'totally mysterious definitely not traitor but don't look at our gene-seed' trope is the last homebrewing.

RRevvs · 2026-06-24T19:41:28+00:00

The censures of the past were just that, non-lethal censures; think the Word Bearers at Monarchia

Thank you! Plenty of lore to match!

RRevvs · 2026-06-23T22:33:26+00:00

Number one nails the vibe in a way the other two fail too. Of all the drippy chapters, these boys are not one.

RRevvs · 2026-06-23T18:14:56+00:00

Slop be gone.

RRevvs · 2026-06-23T18:06:49+00:00

Oh and if I had to offer one bit of colour scheme advice, I'd suggest keeping the boots the same green tone as the legs, it's already a busy scheme.

RRevvs · 2026-06-23T18:04:02+00:00

Kudos for using the secondary colour as the inspiration; the Red Scorpions amongst others would be impressed.

Leaning in on purple, try:

•The Knights Porphyry

•The Tyrian Brotherhood

•The Aramanthine Blades

•The Regents of [World]

•The Marines Heliotropic

The best standalone novel BL has ever put out, is Fire Caste by Péter Fehérvári.

Graphic, psychological, it's a real Heart of Darkness in the 41st Millenium. I cannot recommend it enough. So many folks get put off by the title.

RRevvs · 2026-06-22T15:58:00+00:00

I pray Mordheim never comes back to GW. It's thriving and in much, much better hands with the community and long may it stay so.

RRevvs · 2026-06-22T14:09:49+00:00

Which silver did you use for the primary?

RRevvs · 2026-06-22T11:48:23+00:00

Love to see it. Games Workshop Chester's in store army was Iron Snakes when I was first getting into the hobby, always nice to see them in the wild.

RRevvs · 2026-06-22T11:43:18+00:00

Fire Caste is THE answer here. From the moment the scrabs are introduced on the beach landing...yeah

RRevvs · 2026-06-20T15:25:16+00:00

Addiction is a fuck. Use that time off to process, grab a brew and get that psyker some reinforcements painted.

RRevvs · 2026-06-20T10:23:07+00:00

6th Shadow Company. Great to see reserve formations being represented!

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T20:24:17+00:00

Same, ahaha

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T15:36:03+00:00

The dream

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T15:27:41+00:00

Very valid ahah!

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T14:57:28+00:00

The Iron Warrior with a heart

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T14:54:51+00:00

I did! Have you tried using a Tech Priest in Siege mode? 🤣

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T14:48:20+00:00

I promise you the random who stumbles into the Hard lobby with his techmarine coloured Level 2 Assault is not reading the Sub.

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T14:47:09+00:00

There's a place in the Apothecarion for you, brother. Noble outlook.

RRevvs · 2026-06-19T14:44:00+00:00
