The War Court

So finally here they are, the full Thorn Moons retinue.

In honor of someone dear to me;




Fyonn of the Jade Morning -  Duchess of D'Vroek, Ruler of the Floating City, Elderkin, Daughter of the Moon, Walker of the Way

Horgraive Snake-Eater - Warbringer of D'Vroek, Radningar of the Shieldkin, Hero of the Black Mud Sea

Emeliops Crychter - Emissary of the Green Lodge, Highskald of D'Vroek, Honored Bearer

Shieldbrother Skein - Firstblood of the Tain, Warsinger of D'Vroek, Shieldkin

Shieldbrother Fenk - Deathsworn, Warsinger of D'Vroek, Shieldkin


Claiming their lineage from an ancient Rogue Trader expedition, House D'Vroek are known for their loyalty to the Greene and their Wrath for its enemies, feared and respected even amongst the warlike Sunderkin, they are of the few Noble Houses powerful enough to vie for position.

Like all Sunderkin, they owe their allegiance to the Greene King, seeing him as an avatar of the Greene Man. They put aside previous quarrels to heed the call and answer as a united force when needed, but when those times are over the old conflicts flare up again and the struggle for supremacy continues.

Making their homes in Spires deemed unessential or simply abandoned, the ever expanding underworld and wherever else they are permitted by their biomechanical overlords, the Sunderkin are widespread and numerous on the 334th, 335th and 339th moons. The vast population of civilians are used by the Mechanicvm as fodder for experiments as well internecine conflicts, with the highest Noble Houses maintaining favour with their overlords by facilitating these needs. Only the most respected and wealthy houses have any direct contact with the Mechanicvm itself.




Thankyou for your interest, if you like these guys and are interested to know how I made them then look out for a post coming soon where I break down all components and methods used in detail.

  1. I absolutely love this warband! I think it is one of the best of the whole invitational, which is really saying something :D

    I love the how unique each model looks, from the grim resolve of Snake-Eater (MGS3?), to the battered shieldbrothers, to the delightful little walker. Your incorporation of texture is really well done too, something that blends naturally with a great paint scheme. I love the subtle hints of green on each model. The bases are really nice too; while simple, they speak to a thorn/jungle moon better than most that I have seen. Fantastic!
