Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.

"The ninth day of the Festival of Christophorus is dedicated to the destruction of heretical and subversive writings. On this day, an archaic and fearsome device of unknown STC pattern, called ‘The Vostroyan’ by the locals, is stationed in the Plaza of Conviction.  The grim engine houses an incinerator, which serves to immolate any prohibited books hurled within. Common examples of such texts include anti-Imperial propaganda and xenologies which are too accurate in their portrayals. In the year I attended, there were an unusually high number of pro-mutant writings, which presaged a coming wave of conflict in the capitol.”





(Had to use a bit of Photoshop on that last one, my LED setup was inadequate and I ran out of time to design something that would work).


a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

This gets better and better. The incinerator is a work of genius

The giant fire nutcracker makes the scene in a way that 40K cannon cannot.  Bravo!   Loving this whole thread.

Thanks again all, nearing the home stretch. My masochistic need to feel the pressure of the Lead Painter League must be to blame, I'm painting the miniatures I need for these setups day-by-day now  lol o_o

Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.

"The tenth day of the Festival of Christophorus is the Procession of Skulls. The Ecclesiastic Precinct is closed to all citizens other than Ministorum, and Adeptus with special indulgence.  The nobility of the capitol assemble, bringing forth their ancient servo-skulls, which are tangible evidence of their ancestors. Many of the skulls date from the colonization of the planet. By law, the governor must be descended from the families of the original colonizers brought by Saint Christophorus. As the nobility process into the Via Sancti, citizens and pilgrims beseech the blessing of the luminaries, and children dream of founding their own noble house some day.”

Servo skulls with candles and Snow White in one pic - beats anything seasonal other than piping hot Glögg served on a frozen morning at the Brussels Christmas fair.  :D 8) :-*

Wonderful Matt. Very festive lol

I think you’re secretly the Prof. Or his long lost American cousin. This looks just like one of his epic spreads. Outstanding.

Hehehe, thanks! I've been a longtime fan of the old Witchheimer, and I also have learned a thing or two from the many other great minds here ;)
