Entries Part 1 Below are the first ten entries in our Vastarian contest! Alex Blanchard (@durzin_miniatures): Holy Sacrament of the Ossified Sentinel A roving cult in the charnel wastes of Vastarian. Self proclaimed keepers of the bone mounds turned into places of worship for the wretches who inhabit these dead lands. Accompanied by a heavily modified combat walker, they patrol the wastes for those who would encroach upon their holy territory. Led by the Apostle Proxiro, they swing their holy censer of herbs only found in the Charnel Wastes to ward off the wayward and agitated spi ..read more

“Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.” We are excited to say that our Vastarian Open Invitation contest recently came to end, and it was incredibly successful! All told, we received 32 entries, all imaginative explorations into what life might be like on a Cathedral world. We are currently reviewing all the entries carefully, reading their lore and poring over the amazing photos. We want to give all the entries the attention they deserve, and therefore still need a few weeks to review them all. With that said, we want to start sharing the entries with all of you, so over the next ..read more

It has now been a few weeks since we returned from our first Adepticon, and although we released a podcast of interviews we did while there, we wanted to share some photos from our time there! We met so many wonderful people and got to reacquaint with old friends. It was an amazing time; I hope these photos can capture some of the magic of it! Thursday Adepticon 2024 begins at the Chicago airport, where Eli (left; @redwetskeleton) and Jonny (middle bottom; @witchhammerstudio) picked us up! We stopped by our Airbnb rental before going to the convention, and Eli paged throu ..read more

Last week we revealed a duo of Adeptus Arbites from a specialized unit for performing covert missions. We created this pair, Hypatia Etranzi and Cygnus Poward from Special Operations Unit Mitsukurina, to use for a Vastarian scenario at Adepticon later this week! The premise of the scenario: Special Operations Unit Mitsukurina and a group of Adeptus Arbites are attempting to transport a group of psykers, across the blasted wastes of a former Vastarian sea, to a secure holding location before they can be conveyed to the Black Ships. Although this transport is being done in an unmarked Chrono ..read more

I am the law! Special Operations Unit Mitsukurina is an elite unit within the Adeptus Arbites that specializes in covert, solo infiltration missions to neutralize revolutions or insurgencies in politically or religiously sensitive areas that would foment unrest if handled via conventional means. They are adept at locating and nullifying psychic threats, as most are trained psykers themselves. The group has been functioning on Vastarian for years, quietly neutralizing threats that could upset the tenuous religious balance on the cathedral world. The opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum ..read more

Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last. It has been just about two months since we unveiled our Vastarian Open Invitation contest, asking people to create a Vastarian Cult! Since that time, there has been a huge amount of interest in the setting, with people writing lore and building models. We wanted to showcase a little of it and remind people that they still have until the end of March to submit something of their own to the contest! Although not an entry into the contest, our good friend and incredibly talented hobbyist Juniper Bout (@voxmorbus) converted and painted a cult ..read more
