“You seem troubled, my Overlord.” Ogdovakh broke his concentration to regard the Vargard that had spoken out of turn; a sarcastic little nitwit whose only saving grace was the blood connection between them. His name was Ogolokh; a name Ogdovakh highly suspected was chosen by the mother to mean...
After one more near-death altercation between Kaliksa and Sister Kata as the two prepared, the motley group left the safety of the armory with Teal Epi seeing them off. The straight path soon became the winding labyrinths that had confounded Gallianus’ group one too many times and bored Kaliksa...
In his travels across the galaxy, Gallianus van Boltaneus had come across many beautiful vistas and revolting sights. Planets whose appearance mirrored that of precious gems from space, and were equally enchanting on the ground, and planets whose only value was in being consumed and stripped of...
The gateway brought her to a hallway, dimly-lit save for the occasional bits of machinery that glowed here and there. The seconds it took for Kaliksa to adjust also made her aware of how cold everything felt. It was not just a physical sensation, but something that brushed ever so slightly at...
Kaliksa, Archon of the Kabal of the Crushing Vice, found herself in a predicament all too familiar. Alone, surrounded by enemies, and putting on a sinful black dress that brought real meaning to the phrase 'if looks could kill'. Once again, she was reminded how trusting the words of a Farseer...
Kruvicax sat ramrod straight upon his command throne, partially out of discpline borne from his past as a former Phoenix Lord, but also due to the row of spikes which jut out at odd angles along the Dracon's back. A gift from a Haemonculi, which saw fit to replace Kruvicax' spine with a sentient...
Threadmarks: Chapter 22: A Convoluted Introduction
Deep within the Horizon Needle, where artificial suns lit test chambers with the surface area of planets, the Mentat was running an experiment. His subject was an infiltrator/vanguard unit of an intergalactic Devouring Swarm, which the T'au called the Y'he and referred to by the Imperials as...
Magos Explorator ULR-3.14e was no stranger to the examination and deconstruction of xenotech. Every step followed guidelines laid out by ages ago by the ancients, with annotations in the margins made by countless past Magi. Small pieces would take several days work and requires at least five...
"In the God-Emperor's Name,
"And His Divine Sons.
"Amen."
"God-Emperor,
"Upon the Golden Throne,
"Blessed be Thy name.
"Thy Imperium stands,
"Thy will be done, from Terra to the Rim.
"Give us this day our daily penance,
"And forgive us for our trespasses
"As we prevail against those...
Threadmarks: Chapter 19: Into the Heart of Darkness
Gallianus van Boltaneus finally stirred from his slumber, his head still pounding from last night's bout of drinking. Memories of yesterday were trickling in like petitioners in an Adeptus Administratum building, and the Rogue Trader scowled as he remembered saying yes to the Inquisitor's...
Threadmarks: Chapter 18: Changing Course, Hard Right
Rogue Trader. Two words that meant so many things to so many people. For the common masses of the Imperium, they were trailblazing pioneers that brave the dangers of the galaxy to bring the Emperor's Light to yet-undiscovered worlds. To planetary governors, either a source of endless headaches...
Time was relative, but by the T'au' own estimation, two kai'rotaa had passed since the Ascentron Circurrency appeared from Numenor Point. By Aun'Va' decree, their newest allies were given leave to rehabilitate the devastated worlds devoured by the Great Devourer's Hive Fleet centuries ago. That...
Captain Mirrorstrike tried his best not to react to the sight before him, but it was a challenging trial. As an Air Caste, it was in his blood to feel the weightlessness of space as ordinary, to see the confines of a starship as home, and to know instinctively the ways that such vessels traverse...
Question. What was she? It? The inquiry stings, but this unit feels no pain. There was war, and it fought. She fought. Her? Individualism is a lie, a disease, a relic of the Mont'au. But she is not T'au. Her name is-Error: Unhandled Exception. Exception. She likes that word. Like. The same...
As predicted, the ork horde over Au'Taal Sept soon fell to the true might of the T'au Empire, with the space hulk that started it all now strewn throughout the solar system as little more than scrap metal and random debris. Reinforcements from Ke'lshan and Vash'ya, with a surprise appearance of...
Threadmarks: Chapter 13: In Life, Death; In Death, Life
Molliae and Kalabas ran themselves ragged all over the space hulk, slaying orks in lightning fast ambush strikes wherever the Ascentrons found them. Occasionally they would catch a familiar signal and hunt it down, finding an Ascentron squad on the other end, usually locked in combat. No words...
Threadmarks: Chapter 12: What Pride Made is Undone
There were mixed reactions by the Ascentron when the call came to fight the ork menace. Some were excited to at last stretch their legs outside of the confines of their home/prison, while others were more cautious. But no one was in doubt that the Ascentron Circurrency would triumph, not when it...
The unnamed space hulk was an impressive sight even in its devastation. Its surface marred with great rifts and craters from plasma shots and railgun impacts from the Kor’vattra, but still its engines roared and burned with great intensity. From its agglomeration protruded the prows and towers...
