New Custom Chapter

Homebrew space marine chapter


Chapter Name: Gargoyles

Founding Chapter: Unknown - White Scars and Alpha Legion are rumored.

Founding: Ultima Founding

Home world: KS-34

Colors: Light Blue and Black

Specialty: Orbital Strike

Strength: Unknown, believed to be less than 1,000 battle brothers

Fortress Monastery:

Battle cry: Morior iinvictu (Death before defeat!)


Description:

The Gargoyles are a loyalist Adeptus Astartes chapter who are suspected to be a successor chapter of the White Scars or possibly Alpha Legion geneseed. The battle brothers of the Gargoyles won't reveal their true origins, however, they are believed to be recruited from hive cities, like Necromunda.

The Gargoyles specialize in void combat and orbital strike tactics. They prefer quick interdiction and often aim to strike an enemy commanders as their first point of attack. To this end, the Chapter utilizes drop pod assault, terminator deep strike, and other fast moving vehicles to, "fall on their opponents like rain."

This is my first test model of my custom/homebrew Space Marine chapter, the Gargoyles. (I wrote more about them on my blog if you want to read some fluff.)

I'm in love this color scheme and subtle conversion.  

I feel like I need an adhock Space Marine chapter that can absorb all of my surviving Space Marine models after the first born marines are removed from the new codex. I'll keep my Salamanders, Wolves, and my Deathwing (maybe) but my Scars, Flesh Tearers, Astral Claws, Templars and other spare models will get painted in the Gargoyle scheme.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
