+ 'Lost? Lost, you say?' the Rubricist shook his head, gently. 'Records may be over-written; information hidden or recollated; but it is never truly lost. not while one soul remembers. Here, for example.' With a slow wave, he swept his hand, haptically-enhanced with a filigreed steel calligraphrame, across the memory banks. They were in a sorry state of affairs. Smoke and dust lay heavy over them. Both time and disaster had clearly eaten through the brass discs and crystalline plates of mnemo-storage. 'Here. This may look bad now, but I'm sure there's something.' +

A time of hidden conflict and secret warfare; when battle-lines were drawn and re-drawn between brother and brother. This is a record of those times, set forth by autolocutor Apologist.

So began my painting log all the way back in May 2006. A lot's happened since then, but the Ultramarines of the 15th Chapter 'Praetors of Calth' were always one of my favourite armies. The burndown of Warseer means that I've got the opportunity to start over; so instead of lots of different blogs for my various armies and projects, I thought I'd keep one central blog here for all my Space Marine and Imperial forces. I hope you'll join me for the ride!
+++What can we expect?
Ultramarines – The Praetors of Calth
Ultramarines – 190th Company
Iron Warriors – Officio Monstrosa
Imperial Fists – Team Fisto
Iron Hands – May You Live Forever
Blood Angels – Echo Choir
...and doubtless some other bits and pieces. Warseer was always a great site for me, I'm delighted it's back, and I hope you'll join me in sifting through the wreckage to rebuild.
