#volkite

Good morning everyone and it's that time of week again!

This week follows our heavily armoured trend from the Saturnine Dreadnought with another armoured fighting vehicle - the humble Predator! This variant has the triple Volkite threat for all my anti-infantry needs. I had a lot of fun painting this one, and there are two more on the way ;)

Stay tuned for next week's project!

"My brothers! My sisters! Follow me to the promised land, beyond the drowning land of Achra! Among the stars! My blood brings salvation! My fire brings destruction! Join me or drown!"

So, who here has played Path of Achra?

It's a Roguelike in development and it's hell-a fun! I like to call it a power fantasy simulator, cause it's so easy to gain power and feel powerful...but it's also easy to get drunk on that power and die for it.

I finished the path and finished a campaign with Zo'beb here, a Volkite - basically, an alien that lives in the volcanic underground of the planet. I like to think that prior to his pilgrimage to escape this doomed world that is Achra, Zo'beb was a gladiator. A slave of the colosseum, fighting for the glory of the fat cats above. But when the lava lands began to flood, they were the first to leave. Then the masses left in hordes. The slaves, like Zo'beb, remained, chained down and unable to escape.

Zo'beb did not care.

He had brushed with death many times and he accepted that his demise would come soon. He simply lied down to sleep, ready to welcome death in an embrace - like a bride.

But then, Humbaba, God of Blood, came to him in a dream. And chose him to become his Prophet. The last son of Humbaba and would bring him glory among the stars.

Zo'beb then freed himself of his shackles, took whatever armaments he could gather, and raced to the surface. There, he regained a new zeal for love and a stronger love for battle. He was no longer a slave for the self-righteous; he was now a warrior for a God!

Have any of the Regiment got the chance to use any Volkite weaponry? I am certain Stonewall must have heard of the technology (even if its just hearsay or rumors), but have any had the chance to hold one (even fire?)

Used to have one! Not me specifically, of course - but my temple had one. Very lucky. A Cavalier model.  As part of our induction, we all got to fire it a few times and we would use the sacred RNG once a month to see which one of us guards got to wield it while doing our duty. Was rarely my turn, but that’s how it goes.

But yeah, they’re badass. If we had one of those now, some of our more heavily armoured opponents would be way less hassle.

Did it look like this?

WHOA!!

Yours if you can get it to work.

Mechanicum Hecatoncheir. Yep, second adeptus mechanicus character Lets say, I’m a little obsessed with details, pieces of enginery and stuff. And, at first it was just a crappy sketch. I had to add some shadows using Ps, ‘cause without them even I myself could not make out the drawing, sorre:D
