The Badab War was an internal conflict within the Imperium between 901-912.M41 that led to tremendous casualties and, ultimately, the loss of a Space Marine chapter to Chaos.
The conflict began when Lufgt Huron, Chapter Master of the Astral Claws, began refusing to send tithes from worlds under his control to the Administratum. He also refused to send some of the chapter's gene-seed to Terra for purity checks. The Astral Claws were, along with the Lamenters and Mantis Warriors, tasked with defending Imperial space around a large Warp storm, the Maelstrom, and were frustrated with the glacial movement of the Imperial bureaucracy and the demands of merchants in neighboring sectors who coveted the valuable minerals and other resources on the worlds under the chapters' control. When a tithe fleet sent to collect the Emperor's due was destroyed under unclear circumstances, the three chapters issued articles of secession, saying they would remain loyal to the Imperium and continue to patrol space around the Maelstrom, but that they were sovereign and independent from other institutions.
Eventually, the Fire Hawks chapter attempted to intervene against the secessionists and were fired upon. The Marines Errant later joined them, but initially, the secessionists held their ground. Gradually, more and more loyalist chapters arrived to end the crisis: the Red Scorpion, Raptors, Salamanders, Fire Angels, Novamarines, Howling Griffons, Sons of Medusa, Exorcists, Minotaurs, Star Phantoms, and Carcharodons. The deployment of particularly brutal chapters such as the Sons of Medusa, Minotaurs, and Carcharodons were instrumental in turning the tide to the loyalists.
The conflict culminated in the fall of Badab, the main base of the Astral Claws. Huron himself barely escaped with his life, and he fled with the survivors of his chapter into the Maelstrom. Many years later, he would re-emerge as a pirate king in service to the Dark Gods, calling himself Huron Blackheart, leading a warband of other renegade marines named the Red Corsairs.

Revenant Renovation - Complete!
At long last, after suffering a catastrophic collapse, my titan returns!
My Revenant Titan, which STILL has no better name for its role in my Drukhari force, is once again in one piece and looking better than ever. No longer a rigid, glued together nightmare to transport, it now comes fully magnetized with rings which actually spin and can flatten for easier relocation.
At its heart, the original base I build, two kabalite Warriors with a captured Astartes psyker, prodding and poking at the pitiful monkeigh in ordere to use him as a warp conduit, powering the mighty spinny-death-disk!
Standing at 10″ tall (12″ if you count the outer spikes) I am so pleased that after its tragic fall it has finally been rebuilt and is ready to return as the centrepiece of my Drukhari army!

Revenant, Voidraven, Ravager and Weapon Platforms in progress!
FINALLY, a bit of time and inspiration has got me working again, and I've set to repairing and rebuilding a couple of my big projects! I've been having fun with magnets! __________________________________________________________________
REVENANT TITAN
First, my mighty spinny crucible of death, my Kabal's Revenant Titan, a torture engine with a filthy mon-keigh psyker strapped into its centre (not pictured, maybe later).
YOU CAN SEE A LOG OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD HERE.
Since its original build, I got to use it a couple of times, but the rings simply weren;t strong enough. From the start, the first and third rings (from the centre) started to buckle under the weight they were holding. It was also a real pain to store, because it was all one piece and glued in place. Very soon, the buckllng rings gave way during transport, and the whole thing came apart. I have been saying for YEARS that I'd get to rebuilding it, and never did. But NOW I HAVE.
Tumblr media
THe two broken rings have gone away, and the innermost has not been replaced at all. THe hird ring (now the second) is now made from solid rings specifically 3d-printed, with plasticard over it to add some pattern and texture. A strong brass rod now runs through the central platform and into the new innermost ring. But most important, every ring is now connected to each other through the wonder of magnets! Not only does this give the monster a bit of movement, but it means I can easily fold it flat or dismantle it for easy transport! I'm waiting on a delivery of green stuff to finish off the central platform, and then I can get right to repainting it! __________________________________________________________________
VOIDRAVEN BOMBER
There was no great structural issue with my Voidraven, but it was starting to have storage issues. The only place I could store it, and the only box, was not big enough. Also, partly because of that and the thin plasticard I used on the wing, the tips of the wings were starting to warp a bit. As such I removed the wings and did some work on them. They've been trimmed down a bit, and now connect again with magents. I partly did this purely because I had the magents available. Also taking this opportunity to replace the crew, who I was never 100% happy with, especially the pilot.
Tumblr media
Again, waiting on Green Stuff to smooth out a few last flaws and get this finished and repainted! And again, YOU CAN A LOG OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD HERE. __________________________________________________________________
OTHER PROJECTS
As a further note, two other recent builds. First, I've been for a while proxying Raiders for Ravagers, because I lack Ravagers. WHat I decided to do then is build some add-on pieces which could just fit onto my Raiders when I want them to be Ravagers. The design I settled on is these rings which floa around the outside of the vehicle, adding to its bulk and giving it the extra with a Ravager hull needs. I plan to make an add-on weapon platform which fits onto the front deck for the three weapons. Maybe some kind of Gatling-Lance?
Tumblr media
Second, my club is running an Escalation League which I can't win, because the prize is a free ticket to our annual tournament, which I run. So I can't claim the prize. Boo! But I've decided to take the opportunity to bolster Craftworld forces. The theme here is Chaos Eldar, Aeldari Sorcerers from the time of the fall who have given themselves to Chaos and now raised spectral Aeldari servants to serve them in battle. My weapons platforms then are summoning disks (made from Disks Of Tzeentch) with spectres rising out of them, controling and directing their firepower. My plan here is a silly one - three squads of three, each to be deployed with one of the three Chaos Eldar Sorcerers/Farseers. The main guns are built into the spectres, but the barrels are magnetized so I cna swap out weapons. The first to be finished is pictured here, but I'm waiting on Green Stuff to finish the other two from the first batch.
Why do I always run out of Green Stuff when I need it most?

Top left: Armed with a pistol and sword, Lieut-.Col. Murayama, commander of the Japanese marines at Kiangwan, is shown here on his way to the front.
Top right: Under the added protection of armored cars, the Japanese marines are pictured shove in a sandbag barricade as they defended themselves against counter-attacks of China's 19th Route Army in the fighting near the northern station at Shanghai while other troop pushed forward at Kiangwan.
Bottom left: Japanese bluejackets, taking cover as Chinese shells rained on the wharves at Shanghai, are pictured here awaiting an opportunity to attack with armored cars shown at the left. The picture was taken in the Japanese sector in the International Settlement. Chinese laid down a bombardment to prevent landing of reinforcements The Japs are now in complete control of the area.
Bottom right: Quick firing gun squads of the Japanese landing force are helping Nipponese marines drive against the Chinese lines in this new picture from the Shanghai war zone. All along the front north of Shanghai the Chinese held on grimly. Gun in picture is trained on the road to Nanking, where the 19th Route Army, China’s heroic fighters, at that time was slowly retreating.

Quick question,
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEBRIS FROM THE LOTHAL IMPERIAL DOME?
Surely that thing crushed a few hundred people when it landed. It wasn't even completely blown up.
Wasn't it the only thing generating the planetary shields too?
"If we launch into him we'll destroy the entire city."
HERA, HOW IS DETONATING IT ABOVE THE CITY ANY BETTER?
