The Celgatta Clan

The Celgatta Clan, a shadowy organisation of life-long trained mercenaries is specialized in tasks like assassinations, bounty hunting or personal security. The gathered power and wealth gives the clan access to some of the best equipment and weapons you can find in the imperium.

The noble House Liskus hired the Celgatta Clan to infiltrate the Ondroma System and make sure that House Liskus receives that invaluable STC. Lady Amitra Liskus herself, heir to the Liskus trading empire will team up with the Celgatta operatives at their designated location and take command on this glorious and advantageous mission.

But the Celgatta task force receives new mission parameters, whilst they are already on their way to the Ondroma system. Lady Amitra Liskus hasn’t come back yet from a risky treasure hunt on the Primogenitor. Her ship was seriously damaged and now she is trapped inside the recently discovered space hulk. The last vox transmissions were... unsetteling.

Their updated mission seems to be easy. Infiltrate the Primogenitor, search and rescue Lady Amitra Liskus and head to the Ondroma System ASAP.

Hubris is a lesson they will learn soon.

These kitbashes are basically all based on Delaque torsos, Palatine Enforcer legs and all kinds of GSC Arms. I used my trusty hobby knive to trim the shoulder pads of the GSC arms and also the Enforcers legs to get a nice fitting of the transitions. A little green stuff here and there and the parts fit really nicely together.

Some other parts I used are as the following: The Heavy Bolter is from the SM Scouts, and the Breacher's axe is from the Warcry Cypher Lords. The Medic uses parts from Sanistasia Minst, and the the BSF Navigator's backpack with some addons from the Mission Objectives Kit.

To underline the special operatives look I also added a lot of different pouches, equipment backpacks and grenades. My goal was to get different characters in a uniformed unit and I took care by the choice of the heads and weapons to achieve this.

I tried to raise my bar with this project and tried my best when it came to the paintjob. I choose, like always ;-P, a more desaturated colour scheme for the uniforms. Mostly cold blue- and brown-greys were used for this. The glowing parts and some details should do the contrast with warm colours like reds and oranges.

-------------------------------------------------------------- 

Whilst I build these Celgatta Operatives for the Primogenitor Invitational it was a spontanious idea to make the connection to my Ondroma campaign. I really like these troops and maybe I've searched subliminally for a way to get them involved in a real game. I usually have nearly no possibilities for gaming, for those who don't know it yet.   

Thank you very much for your visit and stay tuned!

Slaanesh Cult

I'm really blown away by the awesome new Keeper of Secrets model and the new Daemon Prince. In case you have missed their reveal, just take a look.

This is just the right motivation to get my hands back on my Slaanesh Cultists and it may helps to justify the purchase of a new model ;-). So, I started to work out a colour scheme for them. I wanted to go for the typical colours like black, purple, pink and white. A lilac skin tone should represent a daemonic posession of the cult members. First I wasn't sure about that look, but I think it works really well and it is a nice variety to my models so far.

Soon I realized that they won't turn out as grim dark as I have imagined, but in the end I really like their look.

Slaanesh Cultists

During the decay of Namorra Prime warbands, cults and scavengers rised in any place. Hive city Kargon V was no exception. The ruling houses had bitter fights retaining control. The Nobles tried to empower their forces and made fragile alliances. Years of war and steadily diminishing recources let the houses become desperate.

And soon the houses realized an even more horrific danger has grown besides their struggle for existence. They came out of the shadows in every sector. A dark and powerfull enemy. Possessed by something, a morbid rapture, they may have heared before.
