A couple of shorter ones coming up to accomodate real-life issues. What can I say, I guy's gotta eat.
Like my readings of GW literature? Why not do me a favour and post on the Black Library Facebook page and tell them you want me to narrate one of their audiobooks? That would make my week to be honest.

Nice to get a wee bit of good old fashioned flash fiction to break up the army list lore entries, which continue next week.

This is a nice chunky lore section for an army list, isn't it? This is the stuff I loved most as a kid.

Going back to an age when when the Death Guard, Thousand Sons and World Eaters were represented by a single unit entry each in the Chaos Space Marines codex. Ahh, simpler times.

Sorry for the week off! I've had an extremely turbulent life this past few weeks, and simply forgot that last Monday was a Monday. Here we are though, back with the Chaos Space Marines forces, with some welcome humour towards the back of this entry.

In the ongoing evolution of Oldex, this time I'm separating the lore from the army entry stats, as the majority of feedback suggested following the unit entries in last season's Codex Tyranids.
