The Spindle Drones are the other small guy native hostiles living on the Blackstone Fortress.
Like the Ur-ghuls, there are two slightly different sculpts present. This time it’s even more subtle; most visible is the dangling cables.
The Ur-ghuls are the space monsters living on the Blackstone Fortress. They’re fast, hit hard, but somewhat cowardly.
There are two each of two unique sculpts, but there’s only small variation between them. It’s enough to give a bit of variety, and really all you need for these small guys.
We already saw the initial party. Now it’s time for the rest of the explorers.
This group includes both of the xenos explorers in the game (other than White Dwarf). Amallyn is a Eldar, with a very long gun.
Grekh is a Kroot, and a somewhat shorter gun.
Esperno gets the second best hat in the game.
Janus is such a dashing swashbucket he doesn’t wear a face mask.
We’ve got the boss, it’s time for some heroes!
This first batch of heroes was selected mostly for their appearance, and formed our initial party.
I went with a blue for the base hexes on the heroes. This gives them a little extra to stand out from the mob of hostiles.
Models like Taddeus really drew me to Blackstone Fortress. GW goodness combined with unusual subjects? Space pope? Yes please!
UR-025 is universally known as “the robot” in our games. “UR-025” just isn’t very easy to say, or even shorthand. Sorry buddy, I know you were hoping for some identity.
