When your favourite part of the hobby is converting things, it’s very easy to get sucked into a new project but not so easy to finish it before the next exciting thing comes along. For me, this means I spend a lot of time building minis but not getting much in the way of paint on them. It’s my...

Hey Ghosts and Ghouls, Making a quick post to say hi and (re)introduce myself. 👋🏻 My name’s Tom and I used to lurk around here a lot in my formative years, chatting and sharings scraps of stories from behind the veil of The Pale Lady. Hobbied on and off in the years afterwards, as I went to...

Originally posted by @The Pale Lady in separate threads, now combined and re-posted for everyone's enjoyment. This is perhaps my favourite piece of fanfiction on Carpe Noctem. Enjoy! - DoN The Children of Maat Written by The Pale Lady Book 1: A Law Unto Her Own. Prologue: To Walk Through...

She emerged from between the trees and her light was like the coming of spring on a cold winter’s morning. Far below, the forest was a patchwork of withered glades and walking dead, but she had only eyes for the abomination sailing towards her on ragged wings and the entourage of monsters...

They are watching us. From the moment we crossed over into this fecund place in search of it, I knew eyes on me, felt its attention shift, infinitesimal speck by speck, a vast consciousness like the hive mind of a colony of wardroth grubs turning its antlered head our way. Even now, it tracks us...

You hear it then: a tapping, the patter of fleshless fingertips between the stalactites. Overhead, blackness, impenetrable except for that sound and something else, almost inaudible, a keening pitch. Scree scatters before your boots, the darkness a precipice over which you dangle, every step...

Hey there! My name's Tom and I'm a long-time lurker finally joining the ranks. I thought it would be nice to introduce myself and hopefully say hi to a few of you on here! (I'm based in Oxfordshire, in the UK, if anyone knows the area.) My dad was the reason I first got into Warhammer. I...

Hey! This will be a Soulblight army themed around my favourite bloodline from The World That Was, reimagined for Age of Sigmar — the Necrarchs. I'm obsessed with this bloodline — I think they're so characterful, I love that they wear their heart on their sleeve (often literally...) in terms of...

Greetings all, So at the end of the month I am releasing a short anthology of seven stories. Dark Fantasy, they follow the decline of a bloodline to the Sins; monsters and spirits that lurk in the night, in the woods, and always in Man himself. England is in a state of upheaval as the Sins run...

Evening all, Just a very short piece here. As much flash fiction as it is fan fiction. I wrote it a while back and thought it might like to show its face here. It is a very short, succinct piece, which I seem to remember was the introduction of my faction to a campaign. Anyway, it captures the...

An interesting topic that I thought I would raise, given the nature of this forum; what is it that makes the members of Carpe Noctem scared? What really gets the hairs standing on your arms, or sends that shiver down the back of your neck? Be as open, broad and honest in your answers as you...

Perhaps the start of something new, if I can find the time to keep working on it. Hope you all enjoy the installment for what it is, and hopefully there will be more to come... TPL * Black Tarn Chapter One World's Edge Mountains, IC 1228 Shouts of defiance echoed around Sakhmet as he...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've written here! It's been a massive incentive for me to hear back from people who've enjoyed my Children of Maat series, especially so to see it featured in the site's own e-zine. And while I have not been continuing this series, in light (or dark) of...

Chapter 5: The Monoliths IC: -1151 Wambua and his search party slipped like shadows into jungle at around midday. The sun was at its highest, and such was its fierce brightness that it seemed to the priest they were banished by her rays, sent scurrying and fleeing to hide in the tropical...

Hey everyone, long time since I've posted here! Had to pause from the story detailing Maatmeses' legacy, as uni work and social life became too much and I couldn't find the time her stories deserved to write them properly. Anyway, here is another piece I have started on. It is set in our...

Book 2: Death’s Head Monoliths Prologue: Look's Like Rain IC: -1151 Night falls quickly in the jungle. The frogs emerge from the swamps and break into a chorus of croaks and barks, the birds retreat to their nests, where they cower in silence with their young, the bats flock from their...

Chapter 16: Ghosts of the Past. IC -1152 The innards of the large, black tent were sparse. There was an ancient wooden rack, stuffed with crumbling scrolls, and a handful of braziers stood burning atop thin, bronze poles. They lit the makeshift room, their warm, orange light masking the...

Chapter 9: The Heart Never Lies. IC -1152 Nehekhara lay in ruins. Darkness clouded the skies; a fell shadow, thick and hungry, devoured the sunlight and bathed the sands below with inky blackness. For all his godly might, Ptra was powerless against the wicked sorcery of Nagash...

Wow so I need to get this off my chest. I HATE ZOMBIES. I can't stand them anymore! The new rules are so reliant upon them, and they suite my theme perfectly, so naturally I have alot. I can't get them to look uniform in a unit. They are from a variety of races, and I can't get them to...
