A lonely planet orbits an ancient white dwarf sun, designated RX J049.8-6809. It is a very old star, and it gives off a ghostly pale light as it dwindles towards death. The nights on this planet are dark and moonless … Continue reading →

Damocles of Healing

Posted on April 7, 2021 by rootwood

The Storm⚡️Hunters

Posted on April 1, 2021 by rootwood

The lore is still growing. It’s too much really, but I can’t stop now. In for a penny, in for a pound. When it’s done I will have said everything I want to say about Space Marines as I see … Continue reading →

All your base are too small for us

Posted on March 22, 2021 by rootwood

I got my first Terminator Marines with the first edition of Space Hulk in 1989 AD (989.M2). I painted em up as Blood Angels and used em for Space Hulk with the bases they shipped with. That’s how they’ve stayed … Continue reading →
