Star Eagles II Company Mganga - Vurugu

The Star Eagles call their Librarians "Mganga" which loosely translates to "Savior of Souls". The term is not limited to Astartes Librarians alone, however. Many individuals from the Star Eagles' Chapter World are skilled at the capturing of a soul, or Masheha , at the moment of its body's death. However, the responsibility of an Astartes Mganga is greater than that of any common mortal, for the Star Eagles are the brave defenders of the long histories and traditions of the Yanchi. Unfortunately for Mganga Vurugu, he has been assigned to II Company, the public face of the Star Eagles.

The effects of this stratagem last until the start of your next turn. 6CP - Defensive Position -...

The Death by Stereo Project Begins

The Emperor's Children have always intrigued me. I've also always wanted to do a "motley" style paint scheme with fun models.  This is the start of that project. In the next squad, I hope to experiment with more patterns such as animal and floral prints, checkers, and tartan. Behold! Perry Navaro and his band, Fulgrim's Addiction!
