A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion Raven Guard Pt2

Chapter 2      The 707th Expeditionary Fleet traveled through the Warp from the Khymara Sector to Warzone Tarkath, Dravik Maw's System. I, Remembrancer Landon Mar-Garet, have been spending a lot of time with XIXth Legion Chaplain Luang Pu. I was on Paraxia in what would become know as the First Defense of Praxia. I was there when the XIXth Legion armored forces led a force of Custodes, XIIth Legion, and Vth Legion against the Forces of the IVth Legion, XVIIth Legion, and the forces of

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard Pt1 (Updated)

Chapter I       I often pondered how I would start this tale, but I could never find the words to start. I have tons of notes on things I have seen and heard before and after the battles took place. I saw the wounded, the dead, and the dying on the flight decks of the various ships in the 707th Expeditionary Fleet. I watched Astartes leave and never return. The transports returning damaged if they returned at all.  I once saw a battle unfold before my eyes, it was battle that should no

“Disrupt the Enemy Lines” part 4

“**Warzone Tarkath** * Dravik’s Maw System *   Once a dumping ground for dead fleets and rusted war machines, Dravik’s Maw now fuels the Tarkath war fronts with scrap munitions and jury-rigged armor. Its forge-slums and salvage gangs strip anything that still holds a charge, shipping parts to the system’s forges. Battles here aredesperate and dirty—fought over the bones of old wars to arm the next.”   August Mission is up:   **Week 1 Mission** Table Size:

'Though born in darkness, we seek only the light." — Corvus Corax, Primarch of the Raven Guard     Well the holiday weekend has come and gone here in the US. I did not sit idly by either....Did I work on a My Astartes Call to Arms Vow...No I did not. Did I decide to make another Vow, for Heresy...yes .

Designate: Moritat

" Moritat was an unofficial designation given to certain Space Marines of the ancient Legiones Astartes, who displayed suicidal urges and a blatant disregard for overall combat doctrine.   Operating independently on the battlefield, these individuals were often employed as efficient shock assault troops and tactical assassins. From its earliest days, the Raven Guard Legion employed more Moritats than did many others.   The individuals assigned to this duty were ofte

"Will they ever trust us again?"

A significant portion of the Raven Guard, including some high-ranking officers, joined the Traitor Legions. This betrayal cast a long shadow over the entire Legion, even those who remained loyal to the Emperor, like their Primarch, Corax. The shame and uncertainty the Raven Guard face as they grapple with the actions of their fallen brothers. This betrayal will have lasting consequences for the Raven Guard, making it difficult for them to regain the trust of the Imperium and even to trust themse

"Blink, and you will become prey to the shadows."

Well.....It's Call to Arms season and well I am supposed to be painting my 40k Space Marines from the Exorcists Chapter.

Then Mother in law having some issues which means wife and I need to go back to handle it in a few weeks.  Issues were worse so wife had to leave deal them the other day and will be back

Call To Arms Update #3

Well I hoped to get more done this weekend then I actually did but between the health issues, kids, errands, work issues, and in the end result I made a mental mistake that resulted in my not being able to prime the models. I washed the models put them in the tub to dry and because of the cats I put the lid on it.....which did not allow them to dry fully.      With the 4th of July this week here in the United States, I have a 4 day weekend so I plan on getting them all primed,

Call To Arms Update #1

Well weekend is over  and my amazing fiancé and future kids spoiled me yesterday for Father's Day by giving me some hobby time.  I did not want to waste it but I also decided I wanted to smoke a Pork Loin for dinner so I bounced between hobby room and smoker in the afternoon/ evening.   Saturday night finished building the Kratos Turret and plow.     As I told my friend @The_Oni_of_Hindsight after all these years of playing/ building 40k, the Kratos is the first " M

Call To Arms- Vow

I am proud this year to pledge my Allegiance to the Horus Heresy Stronghold in the name of Emperor! My Vow break down later.   One of my favorite things about the B&C community is the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge and the Call to Arms Model building and painting events. @Grotsmasha has done a great job at keeping these events going over the years.  I am getting married in November this year, so I am hoping to get back into the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge next year, as a way to keep

Tanksgiving part 4 - Heavy Tank Inbound

Well it has been a week, not so much work related but I finally found time to hobby. I had to decide between painting Sisters of Silence (now that I have all 50 infantry models), the Custodes, or start building the last 2 armor vehicles I have.  Well the Kratos won out. This is were it ended last night.      Just turret and accessories to do.  I am hoping to get it done and get the Cerebus done too  before Saturday so I can focus on painting the rest of the Call to Arms vow

A Story of Death or Victory- The Angels of the XIXth Legion Raven Guard Pt1

I am a Rememberacer. My job as given to me by Holy Terra, is that of a documenter, as journalist, if you will. Even as I write this, I wonder if it will be read by others. I am one of lucky few, given the opportunity to join the Emperor’s Great Crusade, as the Legions bring the worlds back under the Emperor’s light. This the story of my time, or better yet, retelling of the battles of that the Angels of the XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, I witnessed. The fleet, XIXth Legion, Raven Guard, 707th Exped

Well I was going through the Sisters of Silence to see how many models I actually I have. Turns out I have 20 Sisters of Silence plus the Black Library Character. I did order another 5 Sisters of Silence. Plus I ordered some bits off of Etsy.    First off was this     I ordered 10 Heads I figured these would be great for my Raptora Bodygurad.    Then I found these       Cyber puppies!!!!!   And since my Pursuer Cadre will be

Huge Update

Such a productive weekend! Friday I took off as a planned sick day and ended up having to run some errands for work and answering phone calls. Perks of being the boss, but at least I am hourly so it was all paid.  I initially took the day off to recover from my cold but Thursday night I built Cabinet 4 of 5 for the office/ hobby room.    After my errands I decided to hit up FLGS in hopes of them being out of the a Legiones Astartes Battle Group....if not I'd pick it up....

Raven Guard Sicaran Work in Progress pt 2

Well slowly but surely, I have been making progress on my Raven Guard Sicaran.  After discussing the remodel of the hobby room I began working on the Sicaran by painting the tracks. I used Vallejo Metal Color Steel and focused on the tracks at the top of the tank. and then I painted the Exhaust stacks with Vallejo Metal Color Exhaust Manifold.       I really like the Vallejo Metal Color Steel and Exhaust Manifold, and wanting a gunmetal and brass color from the rang

Raven Guard Sicaran Work in Progress

Well I finally got to bust out airbrush this Saturday for a little bit at least. I was able to layer down some dark greys (Vallejo- Black Grey, Dark Grey, and neutral grey)  and then due to lack of Vallejo Gloss, I had to rattle can the model with Munitorum Varnish ....but no frosting. I went through my decals and picked the decals from the Raven Guard Primaris sheet, and Horus Hersey Raven Guard Legion Sheet. Once I picked my decals and placement, I applied Ardcoat to the areas and left to dry.
