Hey everyone!
First off, thanks for taking the time to check out this new dedicated blog of mine. This blog is to focus on an offshoot of my Temple Host of the Blood Moon of Ghur and focus more on this new Idea I had for a Ghyran themed Temple Host.
When I first started the Hobby I had grand plans for a huge story of lore and a huge Army..a year later I have some short stories, vague ideas of lore Id like to write, and the beginnings of what I think is a pretty cool army. Within that first bit of lore was a Saurus Oldblood named Acattopa (his official name is far longer) and a Star Priest (gone Star Seer/High Beast Priest of Ghur) named Itzli-Citlalli. At the time I had two Temple Cities, One in Ghur named Xiuhcoatl and one in Ghyran named Texcoco. Within that first lore, before the release of the new battletome by almost a year, Acattopa controlled Xiuhcoatl with his feral or going feral army of saurus (sounds familiar?) while Itzli-Citlalli controlled Texcoco in Ghyran and the two temple cities had a very intergal working relationship.
In a nutshell:
Xiuhcoatl traded not only resources with Texcoco and vice versa but also feral populations of saurus and kroxigor for non feral populations of saurus and kroxigor. Texcoco and its armies are constantly fighting Nurgle (and how Xiuhcoatl keeps up with Khorne in Ghur) and to have an edge the more feral saurus are sent into the thicker spots. The feral populations arnt just savagery on a different level but changed by Ghur itself into larger and more primal forms, more power. The trade off is this wears off in Ghyran over time so they are able to be controlled again, but there's always a steady supply to keep on the battlelines.
Theres more to it, but yeah. Basically feral ghur influenced saurus, kroxigors etc = kicking nurgles ass in Ghyran.
What does this project have to do with all that? Let me tell you!
I've been focusing on the Ghur side of things:
Thunder Lizard, Horned Ghurian Ancient Carnosaur, Quetzaldon, etc...
I'm now switching my focus to the Ghyran Side
and going into this new adventure is the first (intentional) Unit for it: Tak'to & Netheria the Reclaimed!
This will also be a place for me to add in my homebrew lore for this Temple Host and its relationship to Xiuhcoatl and Ghur.
Hope you all enjoy!

Homebrew Lore:
The Lustrated Temple Host
Location: Ghyran
Race: Seraphon
Faction: Coalesced
Parent Temple Host: The Blood Moon Temple Host
Overview:
"The Magical Arm of The Blood Moon Temple Hosts army, the Lustrated Temple Host consists of powerful Star Seers and Star Priests who use their Saurus Legions and Beast Handlers to capture Chaos Beasts and Monsters. After a battle is won these creatures are forced back to the capital city of the Temple host Tlacopan (meaning "florid plant on flat ground") where they are caged with other captured creatures. When a Blood Moon shows over the Temple City one by one the chaotic beasts are ritually cleansed of their chaotic taint back into their purest natural form.
These now cleansed creatures are turned against their former masters by the Star Priests. The first of these to be cleansed was Spore-Wing a Dracogryph who fell to Nurgle, a type of Life Dragon native to Ghyran (though rare) she was renamed Netheria the Reclaimed by the Star Priest Tak'to after the cleansing ritual."
********
Everything at the moment is dry fitted but wanted to see her in the action pose I was planning! The flight stick will not be there when completed. I have also out of spare greenstuff created a nest with 5 eggs (can anyone say Yoshi themed!?!?!?!?!? Cause I can!) which I think will really add to the base. Name of Netheria's species may change from Dracogryph.
C&C welcome! Should start painting soon!
