So despite continued physical illness hitting me here and their (something to do with a continuous inflamed stomach), I have had time to do a few things.
First is that I've had some time to catch up on some reading. Currently I'm reading The First Heretic by Aaron Dembski-Bowden from the Horus Heresy series. I admit, I'm not as knowledgeable about the 40K universe as I was with the old Fantasy, though Age of Sigmar will need more then Gotrek to keep me interested at the rate its going. I did finish The Lords of Silence by Chris Wraight and found it to be an enjoyable read (gives a interesting point of view from various members of the Death Guard).
So why am I reading this Horus Heresy book in particular? Because it was recommended while I was researching Possessed Chaos Space Marines. At the moment I am taking a number of undercoated Chaos miniatures I had prepped for painting a year or so ago and was working on paint schemes and lore. This book was recommended and so far I'm fascinated about the Word Bearers and their story.
I've decided to make my latest faction a small successor Chapter, with the only name I have thought of so far for them is the Transcendent Flesh. Chaos can transmute and shape anything: Air, Water, Flesh and Steel. As such, this very minor Chapter is preaching the reshaping of reality chaos brings, luring those who are dissatisfied by physical appearances from small disfigurements to full mutations, all will be welcomed within their embrace.
Miniature wise, there will be focus on the Daemonic, from Possessed to Cult of Destruction, with Cultists being the main core and a few Chaos Spawn thrown in. I'll most likely stay away from most vehicles, with the option of Hellbrutes and Daemon Engines if I did decided to add a few. My main goal is to finish the Dark Apostle first, then work on the rest around him. Hopefully should have it done before the end of the week if all goes well. That or I get distracted trying to finish the Kill-team terrain. Either way, something will get done.
