DAARK RISING

 

The Khornate champion swung at Kaleb with his axe, it was clumsy and predictable, Kaleb easily dodged the blow and brought Dreadaxe down on the champions head where his axe bit deep and drank the soul of the champion. The fight had been short as Kaleb suckered the champion in pretending not to notice his loud approach, even a beastman would have heard his heavy footsteps, and they're not the brightest creature in the region.

As Dreadaxe finished sucking out the soul, Kaleb felt the call of his master Malal, he moved swiftly to a more secure area, were he could perform the ritual to summon his master without fear of a surprise attack. He set down and performed the ritual as he had done so many times before, and soon his master appeared before him.

"You have done well Kaleb, dispatching so many twisted souls for me, since entering the Northern Wastes."

"There are many more to be dispatched though, and their numbers seem to be increasing."

"Aye the allure of the ruinous powers is strong, and can corrupt the hearts of men easily, but I have a new task for you."

"Where do you want to send me now ? Lustria ?"

" No, somewhere a lot further than that, Falcos VI"

" Is that an Empire outpost ?"

" No it's a world in the Eastern Fringes of Space"

" What !"

"Kaleb, there is so much that your little mind does not know or understand, just know that this is my bidding and you need to do as you are told."

" And how do I get to this OTHER WORLD FLY ?"

" Tomorrow you will head deeper into the wastes and will find a portal, this will transport you to your destination, once there I will contact you again and give you more instructions."

" Which of the powers am I hunting this time ?"

" The Prince of Pleasure, but you will need some new equipment, to complete this mission."

A blue light formed into a bubble, and then dissipated, leaving a large pile of equipment.

" I have a new set of Chaos armour that will make it easier to blend in on this world, I have also replaced your broken shield with a Plasma Pistol, and as a transport you have a bike."

" I hope this pistol is more reliable than the Empire ones, but I'd rather have a horse than that thing !Don't they use horses where your sending me ?"

"They do but the bike is faster, but as you wish, a new steed will be with you by Morning, I suggest you get adjusted to your new armour, as it might be a bit of a shock ! 

Malal bellowed a laugh.

Above is just a short story to give a reason on why Kaleb Daark would be in the 40K universe, and why would I do that, well I thought it would be fun to have him in some 40K games, and as such created a model for him. It took a while to find the relevant parts to make him from, the horse came from the old Archahon model, the backpack was from Doomrider, some plastic chaos pieces, and the head was from a space marine veteran sergeant. then some details were added with greenstuff, like the long half of his hair, Dreadaxe, and some other little details.

Kept the colours similar to the original art, so mostly black and white, I liked the cracked earth base that came with the horse, as it looked like the earth was corrupting against his presence and added in a molten lava effect. That's all for this post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !
