Ambull!! AMBULL!!

 Hello and welcome back. Now for something unpleasant.

The Ambull is a creature native to the death world Luther McIntyre IX. Some time in history a mating pair was brought to Matt Black God’s world as an exhibit in the planetary capital’s Zoo. 

Things where going well until one morning the Zoo Keepers discovered that the Ambull display was empty. At the back of the pen a yawning tunnel was seen where the Ambulls had tunnelled through the Plascrete escaping from their enclosure. The tunnel lead deep below the city and soon became a complex network. Parties sent to capture the Ambulls kept disappearing. Patches of blood or some mutilated remains where all that was ever found of the search parties. 

Fortunately for those who had the task of the capturing the Ambulls (well kind of), the Mattblackgod’s life support failed at this point in history and it was nothing to do with the escaped Ambulls despite what the cleaner claimed. Suddenly there was other things to worry about as the planet descended into chaos. Rioting broke out across the world, terror attacks became a daily (and sometimes hourly) occurrence and open warfare began as various groups started pointing the fingers of blame at each other. The wars grew uglier and uglier with terrible weapons being deployed by all sides. Chemicals, biological agents, plagues and more. When the Federation arrived on a mission of mercy they where horrified with what they found and decided to wipe the world out as a precautionary measure. They then went on to isolate the world to protect the galaxy. The horrors could not escape the world. 

The Ambulls were soon forgotten by its hunters. The creatures bred in the dark below the city feeding on survivors who fled into the tunnels to escape the firestorm and fallout.


Today the Ambull preys on those who have returned to the ruins of the world’s capital. The Trogs of the Mattblack City ruins have put a hefty reward out for anyone who can bring in a dead Ambull. 

The Ambull has spread across the world and it is possible to find them nesting in caves, old sewer systems, old bunkers and vaults. One sure sign that there may be Ambull lurking in the vicinity is the lack of ghouls and other underground nasties in the tunnels. 

The Ambull is a plastic kit from GW Blackstone fortress add on. The kit is snap together with little opportunity to customise it. There is stats for it in 40K in the box too plus all manner of cards for the Blackstone fortress game. 

Thanks for looking and take care out there

    1. Thanks. It was my plan. I went for a green scheme as I wanted something that looked like it was contaminated.
