So in an effort to sort my marines out here we are. If anyone is reading this that is uninitated with the Storm Wardens here is a bit of lore (copied from the wiki):

The Storm Wardens are stoic defenders of Mankind often found upon the borders of the Imperium. Until just recently, these Astartes were most focused upon the great Warp Storms that troubled the Halo Stars region of the Segmentum Obscurus on the galaxy’s western edge. There, they protect Imperial frontier planets from the predatory actions of xenos, Chaos Renegades and Heretics. They are often unknown and unsung heroes to the worlds that they defend, as the Storm Wardens are a highly insular Chapter and there are only a small handful of monuments and Imperial records outside of their fortress-monastery on their homeworld of Sacris’ moon of Highcastle that celebrate their long list of battle honours.

The long and short of it, like a lot of other chapters, they have a basic theme. In this case it’s celts/scots. Fantasy Flight did a good job of adding some lovely juicy lore points into the chapter but left their founding and intricacies about their link a specific primarch vaugue. This give a bit of wiggle room regarding play-style which is nice. When I have played I usually choose Iron Hands due to their love of armoured assault.

I already have a hefty amount of models to this date, and ashamedly they are are bit of a grey tide. Next post I will throw up some pictures of what I have and where I want to go (currently Shadowspear).

I would like to try a bit more conversion work going forward to build on the modest amount I have already done. This may involve a bit of kitbashing with Space Wolves pelts and the like but it’s all new territory for me.

Hopefully this project log will keep me motivated and on track to get these guys sorted as they really are my first love (well maybe second after Ad Mech).

Aren’t the Storm Wardens Welsh, not Scottish? Or am I reading too much into one of their previous Chapter Masters being named after Owain Glyndwr? ?
