G'Day everyone.
Well it has been far, far too long since I
have done anything here, or anything hobby related really. Many things have
kept my attention elsewhere but hopefully this will be a rekindling of my
hobby.
So as an intro into this post I will outline briefly the
background of my army and some of the plans I have rolling around inside my
skull.
Terrak Is a Fortress World controlled heavily by the Schola
Progenium. Each of its vast fortress cities are built around a Schola Hall,
which other than the standard roll a Schola performs, serves as the bastion and
headquarters of each city as well as the training ground and barracks of the
PDF and Imperial Guard regiments. Consequently Terrakan regiments contain large
numbers of Commissars and Commissar cadets, who fight alongside the Terrakans
until they are given their full commissions.
Terrak was once classified as a Hive World (A very minor one
compared to Armageddon and Necromunda), back when the warp storms abated and
the great Crusade fleets brought Terrak willingly into the fold of the
Imperium. Unfortunately during the Horus Heresy, Terrak was engulfed in bitter
civil war which saw its Hives turned to ruins in the fighting. The civil war
saw the Terrakans become adept city fighters and the ruined husks of three of
the hives have been kept as training grounds for the Terrakan Imperial Guard
regiments.
A final note is the unorthodox inclusion of canines in Terrakan
regiments. Terraks entire animal kingdom is composed of canines in some form or
another. It is believed that the original colonists of Terrak worshiped the
Canine to the extreme, and with the help of gene splicing, cloning and other
lesser known means created their own canine paradise. As a result these
creatures are a major part of each Terrakans daily life and has followed them
into war, serving as guides, guards, and even as mounts for their cavalry
formations.
So that’s an outline of where my fluff is heading, and I am slowly
bashing away at it with the hope of making my own Codex supplement complete
with units, rules and fluff.
Anyway, let’s get some pictures in here!
First up we have a WiP objective marker, so far it has proven to be the most hotly contested objective, with hundreds of casualties sustained in its capture during our battles.

And here are the other two of my WiP objective markers, a fallen standard bearer and a very uninspired ammunition cache.
 |
| Fallen standard bearer, not happy with the blood on this but have recently acquired some Tamiya clear red I have been told makes great blood effects, so stay tuned for that. |
 |
| Guns, ammo, supplies, the jack of all trades objective marker. |
And this is a unit I have wanted to build for a long time, and they have been sitting on my desk in this state for far to long. Time to finish them up I think. Sorry in advance for the shoddy phone pictures.
Sergeant number 2 armed with a much more standard power sword and bolt pistol. A lot of their gear is made with greenstuff push molds and the beret heads are from Maxmini.
The standard riders are mounted on Fenrisian Wolves, I did originally want to have all of them riding Thunderwolves but the cost is quite daunting. My thoughts are if I do get enough Thunderwolves in the future they can represent Death Riders while the smaller wolves will be the bog standard riders.

Well that's all for now. Hope you like them, any comments and/or criticism is greatly appreciated and encouraged.
Thanks for looking.
