This region is a twofold experiment. One, it diverges from Worlds Without Number‘s (paid link) directive to “make about six nations/groups,” as I’m making two new ones and using two existing ones. And two, it’s the first region that features gods as physical presences, just out there in the world doing god stuff. And those […]

After enjoying the time savings from spraying my first batch of 40k terrain with Citadel’s Wraithbone rattle can — a primer and base coat in one — I decided to go the same route with my custard lads. They’re 90% gold; this is a potentially huge time savings. So I built my entire army before

This post wraps up my region-level development of the Gilded Lands. Define the relationships between the groups. This step in Worlds Without Number has two components: what each nation generally thinks about each other nation, and a specific thing they want from each of them. I keep them brief, and I always try to make

The next step in Worlds Without Number‘s region-creation process is… Identify regionally-significant gods. Kadavis — Iskuldra, the Golden Mask (“iss-KUHL-druh,” wealth, glory, recognition), principal deity in a pantheon that includes over 200 “small gods” (other aspects of prosperity, commerce, fashion, etc.) who are venerated in its many fiefdoms. Yrfeđe — Cniht-Cild (“KUH-neet kild”), They Who

I’m currently working on my third region of Godsbarrow, Kurthunar, so this post and those that follow are me catching up on moving my Gilded Lands material from my PC to Yore. Name the region. The Gilded Lands, so named because most of its nations are wealthy, and most of that wealth comes in the

I woke up this morning, walked past my work area for miniatures, and realized I’d forgotten to put in time on minis yesterday. My hobby streak is broken! I made it to 539 days — from February 20, 2020, to August 12, 2021. Yesterday morning I had a plan for what I was going to

With two regions done, my Godsbarrow material needs some organization — so I created the Godsbarrow handbook, a page of links and notes that attempts to organize all of it in a meaningful way. Still very much a WIP, but as ever I’m wary of making the page — and this worldbuilding venture — too

Today I wrapped up my second region of Godsbarrow, the fantasy campaign setting I started working on earlier this year: the Gilded Lands, situated just to the east of my first region, the Unlucky Isles. The Gilded Lands are anchored by Kadavis, the largest and wealthiest of the six nations that comprise this region. With

I started building this squad of Allarus Custodians — the first three of 10 Terminators in my draft army list — last night, and finished it up this afternoon: Kanumba, Cathalan, and Adomako. As with my first squad, I stole the Shield-Captain’s build for one of them — Adomako — because I love the stance

I finished my first Adeptus Custodes squad tonight, adding Halfden and Konstantyn to my first custard lad, Inkaef, to form a full unit of Custodian Guards with Sentinel Blades and Storm Shields. In 9th Edition, this unit is 234 points. Three troops in my Deathskulls Ork army would be . . . 24 points. Playing
