Scout Kiaz found himself looking once more at the black auto reactive plate on Veteran Brother Raldaen's shoulder. Not for the first time he wondered what Badab must have been like.

"Are you watching me or watching for Orks, Scout?" Raldaen didn't move his head and Kiaz was surprised the grizzled marine new he was looking at him. Even so he plucked up the courage to ask.

"Why do you paint your right pouldrons black since Badab. Do we Raptors not forgo marks of honour?"

As quick as the words had left his mouth Kiaz was lifted off his feet and slammed against the bunker wall.

"Do not speak to me of honour. Do not speak like you are a Raptor as you are not and certainly never speak to me of Badab.

"This is no honour marking. This is a mark of grievance, a mark of shame. A mark of respect for our fallen Brothers, Brothers that fools like you are sent to replace. You know nothing of Badab, you never will and you can count your lucky censored.gif forsaken stars that you do not boy."

"I will tell you one thing about it, just one thing.... Badab was Hell"

*******************************************************************************************************

Welcome Brothers, Sisters, Street Urchins, Mutants and Parlour Kings to the BADAB WAR MOTIVATIONAL THREAD! (can I get a little trumpet fanfare jingle sound effect there?)

Horus Heresy this, Horus Heresy that, yawn bloody yawn! (OK its amazing really) Let me tell you this Brethren the Badab War was the original battle of the Astartes! A masterstroke from the begoggled but ultimately brilliant Rick (is he the mesiah) Priestly. The Badab War was a thing before The Horus Heresy was but a spark in the weeping eye of Games Workshop.

Well so what Yak. Do you have a point?

A while back me and Uprising (half Salamander half traitor dog) where discussing putting together a work in progress motivational Thread for Badab War gamers. Now there have been a couple on this hallowed site in the past but they fizzled out for imho a couple of reasons...

1: The targets may have been to rigid for some hobbyists.
2: Each Chapter only had one frater represent it (the format followed a tale of 18 gamers)

So my thinking is to group a load of us together and help motivate, inspire and support each other with their hobby goals.

Here are the main aims of the thread.....

  • To encourage painting and modelling of our armies (No really?). In a steady goal by goal format.
  • To promote writing of fluff to link Fraters armies together. We may all be thousands of light years away from each other but the B&C is the community where it is at! (this may only be a few lines, so don't be put off)
  • To share techniques, tips and maybe even the odd bad joke (bad jokes limited to 3 per Frater ermm.gif )
  • To inspire each other
  • To take over the world (same as we do every day).

FORMAT

This thread aims to be more of a loose affair than the Hallowed events of the ETL. However it will run alongside other painting events so you can include your Objectives (more later) in other events (especially in the Codex Space marines faction, unless you're a dirty Lamenter....)

  • Firstly anyone can join, as many frater can represent each of the Badab War Chapters. This allows any frater who are collecting Salamanders to post their armies and fluff all here in one place.
  • Even if your force fluff is not set in the Badab Timeline you can still join as long as it is one of the official 18 (Tiger Claws included) Chapters or Tyrants Legion. (because we all know the Badab Chapters are the best).
  • The idea is to declare a goal called an OBJECTIVE. This can be anything from a single HQ, a squad, or vehicle. When this is painted you will be rewarded an OBJECTIVE SECURED purity seal to go alongside your name in the BADAB WAR VETERAN ROLL OF HONOUR in the post below.
  • Theses Objectives do not have a time limit but you can choose to do so if you like. You can not move on to your next objective until you have completed your first.
  • Fraters can form Allegiances whereby they set a date to complete their objective together. (optional)
  • Fraters can form a Challenge whereby they race to complete a similar objective.(optional)
  • Please note these allegiances and challenges need discussion and permission from the other fraters involved (all friendly like smile.png )

BADAB BROTHERLY LOVE

  • A none essential but thoroughly rewarding part of this thread is to encourage frater to link their projects to others on the thread. Small bits of fluff can go a long way to making it seem as the models we make fought together in the same war (maybe even against each other).
  • Now this can be done in a friendly manner as is the B&C way. We don't want someone slogging their guts out to make a lovely Howling Griffons squad with names and personalities, for some Executioner to come along a write about how he kicked their little arses and they did not even put up a fight. A more fitting way to do this is to honour the names of other fraters creations in your own fluff.
  • Things like trophies or damaged helmets on bases can link our armies visually too.
  • Please note these are just a few ideas, I am sure that the plog will develop its own character as it unfolds.(judging by the response in the ideas section it seems a little monster is about to be unleashed....)

BADGES

Now I know that everyone loves badges in their signature so they are being created as we speak.

These are not the official badges (is anything you ever do in life official Yak?) but something to put out there to make it look like I have at least tried.....

Im a Raptor remember I specialise in sneaking about, not all tha tech wizardry.... Can I get me some Sons of Medusa!!!

OBJECTIVE SECURED

Once you have completed your set objective a Purity Seal or Maelstrom Warder badge will be added to your Name in The Badab War Veteran Post below. Example....

LOYALIST

UP FOR IT?

As mentioned this is a more loose affair than other events. If you are interested then just post below. There are a few fraters who have already expressed their desire to join. Your name will then be listed under your Chapter in the roll of honour below (next post). Once we have a good few names down we can then start picking our OBJECTIVES. I know what mine will be, that Land Raider Helios I have vowed in the ETL!!!

Badab Veteran Roll of Honour in Progress.............. Please be patient............... Hurry it up for Emperor's sakes man!!!

space saver for roll of honour

I was in the Last Tale of 18 Thread, I still have several models set aside from it even.....I'll pick up the gauntlet again, I'll the the Fire Hawks alight again.

 

With a goal of ~5000pts for the ETL, I'll start slow for my first Objective,

 

My Objective for the months of June is a single VanVetof the Fire Hawks.

 

Cheers,

Jono

Hi Yak,

 

This looks great, what a nice idea. I'm not in ETL myself (can't really commit to anything serious after my Augustus' Arena no-show :P )  so would be happy to devote my hobby efforts to partaking in this. Looking forward to see how it develops.

 

I'd like to represent the Salamanders and, only because I have some Death Company and a Furioso kicking around, the Lamenters.

 

My objective for end of June will be a completed squad of Devastators (Salamanders). Pics of the first four members of the squad can be seen at the latest post in my project log (see sig. below)!

 

 

Unto the Anvil, brothers.

Ok I'm game, I started doing a small exorcist project but with all the talk of a new dex I held off.

 

Good excuse to show it off and support Others doing the various chapters of the Badab War :)

 

I haven't done a list of such but working on Silas Alberec so il try and work the rest out when I get hold of new codex.

Well, you know Im in tongue.png Representing the proud sons of Guilliman, the Novamarines.

OKAY! So after re reading the rules and seeing how there is no strick time limit (I think, right?) I will go ahead and vow to do the following without the preasure of a set date:

x1 Space marine captain: Artificier armour, power fist, chainsword. (135)

x1 Dreadnought: Assault cannon, heavy flamer (in power fist), venerable. (155)

x1 Tactical squad: +5 marines, heavy bolter, plasma gun, chainsword, plasma pistol, melta bombs. (185)

Total: 475

Because war... war never changes.

My Vows to hope have completed this time next month :-) i am a slow painter and only have a few hours in the evenings to paint due to family life but here goes .

Lovely thread, i wars one of the people that followed the original thread jealously. It was also how I found this forum in the first place.

 

My first contribution to this forum, and this sub-forum, will be a pledge for 500p Lamenters. This is a part of 1000p Lamenters I have planned for a set of 6 badab armies 1000p each. As I am very slow and unproductive I start there.

 

This is my list for my first pledge, to be completed before the end of August.

 

Captain

Power weapon, meltapistol

 

5x tactical squad

- Vet. Sergeant, Stormbolter, meltabomb, chainsword

- Plastmagun

 

5x tactical squad

- Vet. Sergeant, combiweapon, meltabomb, boltpistol

- flamer

- Razorback (TL hvy flamer)

 

Predator (autocannons, hvybolter sponsons)

 

499pts

 

Most are already built, and will be posted as wips in a separate plog soon.

I am in for the Carcharodons!  

 

Insertion teams dropped planetside to determine extent of corruption.  

Scout teams not to engage.  

Planets are Imperial.  

Forces are Imperial.

Heresy is spreading.

Lies are purged by the faithful.

Only the clear mind sees truth.

 

I pledge one squad of eight scout marines with sniper rifles and camo cloaks.  

I´m in with Lamenters and maybe some others chapters after the ETL biggrin.png

I have just place my second vow in the Blood Angels sub-forum, which includes one cout as Malakim Phoros and one five man Death Company Squad with Jump Pack. My objective is finish them before 1st of July.

I started painting Exorcists last year(I think) and still have a bunch of marines that are either unpainted or just a basecoat. I would like to get them painted up but I don't have a codex so not sure what points they will be.

Just paint them upthumbsup.gif . Alot of what I do is not by the Codex.tongue.png

Grotsmasha: I seem to remember your Fire Hawks, did one have a MKIII helm? That plog was what really got me into the Badab war again a few years back. Glad to have you here Brother.

Peredyne: Haha what a choice for a first unit. Well done sir, sure to get the loyalists fired up with that! (Just don't let any Executioners see it!)

DeathspecterSgt7: Are you sure that is enough Chapters for you? msn-wink.gif I left of the Exorcists as they were just a maybe. You can always add more later Bro

Stoneheart: Great to see you here with those Beauties. As for not competing in the ETL due to what you perceive as a no show all I can say is don't be daft! After two successful ETL performances I flunked last year (sometimes real life gets in the way). However I see this year as a chance to set the record straight. If you plan on doing these over the next month you may aswell join in the ETL and restore honour to those glorious Sons of Vulkan!

Squeaky: Good choice. I like the Exorcists a lot and you do not see many about. Let this thread put an end to this once and for all! Looking forward to seeing the Big Fella!

Grand Magnus: You know I have been on here alot on my mobile phone lately, so don't get to see peoples signatures. I've just realised that you used to be Anaziel! Some kick arse Guardians of the Covenant and some faultless Ultras if I do recall correctly? The name changes really messed me up. Anyway excellent choice with the Novamarines.

Crazy Eight: Glad you are joining with your Scorpions. I know your work is seriously cool so this is going to be fun. You know that you can just set one squad at a time as an Objective if you like. Also if you are planning on getting all those done have you checked out the ETL?

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306912-e-tenebrae-lux-iv-codex-strategium/

Its a good laugh and you get to take the mickey out of Dark Angels without getting told off!

Thrillhouse: We must have joined up around the same time. I like yourself was inspired by that thread and it made me go out and buy the Badab War Books to see what Forgeworld had done with my nostalgic memories. Mightly impressed obviously. If you are planning on getting that done before August check out the link to the ETL above. Funnily enough the deadline for that is August too! Good luck with your Lamenters mate.

Silverghost_90: A fellow Raptor. Brother aren't we ace. Looking forward to seeing your Black Raptors. We can justify painting our armour any colour we like!

Kurama: No problem Brother, research away. If you do not have access to the Badab War Books, Warhammer 40k wiki has a little info that may help you get into the swing of things. Plus any questions.. this is the place for them, we can help. Besides we need a few more Aussies in the squad in time for the ashes msn-wink.gif

Armond: Let us know who you are planning on going and I will add your name to the list. I was unsure whilst looking through the other plog, but that was probably me being daft.

airinhere: Great that you committed Brother! Cant wait to see some Sharks coming in from the outer depths.

mandaloriano: Good to see you made it here. The Lamenters are already one of the best supported Chapters here so far. This bodes well for the rivalry and blood shed to come!

Kriegsmacht: Dont worry if you need any points explaining. Just post your weapons choices etc etc here and someone will PM you back. However this is not like the ETL whereby you vow points. Here you can just set out to paint a squad, HQ or whatever. Once its done its done and you can move onto the next Target. So would you like me to put you down for Exorcists?

Rossnic: Almost missed you Brother, took me so long typing all those reply's. You are in! Another Astral Claw eh I am glad that the secessionists numbers are getting up. Looking forward to seeing your work mate.

A real strong start. Ill be on another 48hr shift so may not be able to update the Roll of Honour till Saturday. But should still be able to reply to questions and the like via my mobile.

UPDATED UP TO THIS POINT

Oooh I feel all like Captain Semper typing that! Don't tell him though.

GrandMasterSapphon: No it going to go on churning out Badab Love for years. It is a focus for all Badab related hobby. The achievements on your roll of honour will just increase the longer you are here. You can join at a later date if you have other projects on. Or you can sign up and do the odd Badab war project as a change of pace smile.png

Kriegsmacht: Done!

I really got to go to bed now.....
