Gorsnik ug Morgrim

Orks are something I seem to have collected in large amounts. And for some reason I am drawn to the Bad Moon clan - maybe because I'm an accountant by training - which I thought had a bit more depth of background than the more one-dimensional Goffs.

Anyway, somewhere in the mists of time Gorsnik ug Morgrim came to the fore. A Bad Moon ork warlord of great cunning (and even greater teef!) Gorsnik considers himself a cut above your average bone-headed ork. Sure, he likes a bit of rough-and-tumble as much as the next ork, and enjoys gnawing on bits of the carcass of his small-minded challengers, but he really does feel he is the reincarnation of Mork. (OK, that's not quite how he puts it, but that's the sense of it.)

Like any self-respecting Bad Moon, Gorsnik likes to show off his wealth. A lot of this is invested in wagons and guns of all sizes, but he also keeps some smaller clans sweet by providing them with plenty of enemies and teeth. He's also diligent about crushing any opposition from these war bands, lopping off the head of any ork who's getting ideas above his station.

Expect to read more about Waaagh! Gorsnik as time goes by.

Aspides Basilikoi

And now I've posted a quick piece on "my" space marine chapter, the Emperor's Shields or "Aspides Basilikoi" as they call themselves.

Rather than a blog post, I've put it up as a more permanent "Page" (see bar above) which will be subject to periodic addition and amendment.

I plan to put up a post where I make a major addition to one of the pages.
