This blog is being presented as a list of in-universe snippets from several groups within the Imperium of Man and beyond, including the Inquisition, Administratum record keepers, etc.
++
Each +Story+ will usually be voiced by a different individual who may or may not make appearances as a miniature within said story.
((Text inside double brackets is out of universe author notes.))

All miniature photographs are of my own work unless specifically noted, and I will source any works not my own. All of my models are assembled from Games Workshop miniatures and components unless mentioned.

Here is a list of all post categories, with short explanations of what content will be put there:

This category is for all Horus Heresy and 30k models.
The narrator of this story is one or more members of an unknown Imperial record-keeping organization,
combing through archives some several thousand years after the end of the Horus Heresy,
when details of original conflicts had faded, but there were still many records from major events.
+DESECRATION OF SELENE+
This category tells the story of a shrine world invaded by Nurgle's legions.
The narrator is an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor speaking to another Inquisitorial Operative in the days after driving back the forces of Nurgle, to give insight into what happened and perhaps what can be learned from how the defenses were breached.

This category is for individual models or custom warbands that fit within my own small corner of the 40k universe.
There is no sole narrator, instead being a collection of short descriptions of the character(s) in question,
sometimes with in-character quotes.
+STRANGERS IN MIRRORS+
This category is both for Warhammer Underworlds warbands,
and for other Age of Sigmar conversions that fit notionally within the same story space.
The narrator is a barkeep or owner of an inn, living in a fortified city in Hysh,
speaking of rumours and overheard stories about the world outside the walls.
Chapter One: Borders of Hysh
Those fallen to chaos, striking out against the resettling of Hysh by the Free Peoples.
Chapter Two: The God-King's Hand
Wild magic fills the air, Sigmar takes notice. The Ordinators begin their work.
Chapter Three: Forest and Fortress
The Grove stirs. Perhaps there is more hidden behind closed doors than we suspect.
+THE HYDRA'S HEADS+
This category documents the invasion of an Alpha Legion base invaded by Genestealer Cults.
The "narrator" is an automated log of events happening within the base,
and the scattered communications with an unseen command.
+UNDERHIVE INQUEST+
This category is a somewhat loose collection of groups operating on various hive worlds of Rhoda's Reach.
The narrator is usually one of the pictured characters, or someone describing their impact on the planet or region in question.
+CHILDREN OF THE OUTCAST+
This category details the fall of an Imperial Hive World to the forces of Malice.
The narrator for Verse I is a survivor among the ruins, hoping to contact the Imperium at large for help or warning.
+SECRETS UNTOLD+
This category is for pretty much everything that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Crossover and contest models, old models, one-off projects and the like are all fair game.

If I'm doing my job right, this list will be constantly expanding as I share new projects.
