apologist Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 WIP Brother-Lieutenant Volcatius, Varangian Guard To be elevated to the ranks of the Varangian Guard represents one of the highest honours amongst the XIII Legion, as it means that the safety of the Primarch and his representatives has been entrusted to you. Far more than a mere honour guard, each of the Varangians is an experienced officer, soldier and proven to be made of sterner stuff even than their brethren. In many ways, the group resembles the personal household of the old Macraggian Battle Kings more closely than a uniform unit. Guilliman often draws upon his Varangians deep well of experience in order to provide insight and fresh ideas. The size of the Varangian guard varies, with new members admitted only on merit. Needles to say, each is a decorated hero with his own personal equipment, proven over countless campaigns. Individuals are commonly drawn from the officer cadre of the Legion, but there have been line brethren and even one scout who have been admitted owing to unique skills, capabilities or character. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/DSCN0448.jpg Towering over a Hyponian Infantryman, Lieutenant Volcatius bears a Macraggian Apsis shield, that carries a mass-generative deflection system; and an archaic power mace. He wears heavy 'Cataphract-pattern' Exo-armour, though the helmet is a new design of helmet direct from Mars, for the highly-classified 'Terminator' project, rumoured to be a form of armour that will replace power armour completely. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/DSCN0447.jpg Bit more to do yet, but pleased with how he's come out so far. Based on an Obliterator. +++ Selection of Ciconians WIP http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/DSCN0449.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154367-pre-heresy-ultramarine-cataphract/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow basing him off an obliterator must have taken a lot of work, I notice there's still a little warped flesh visible on the back of the left hip. Interresting idea though, and nicely executed so far, keep it up!
