The Clan Council

The Clan Council meets in a well protected chamber deep beneath the Marines Adamant Fortress Monastery on Halstarrig's primary moon. A great circular amphitheatre divided into ten tiered sectors, one for each of the mighty Clan Households, leads down to a hub-like central platform where a speaker can be heard by all.

The Council may only meet when at least four of the Households are present, and any decisions made there that will affect the entire Chapter must be ratified within a solar year by at least two more Households to create a majority.

The hall is large enough that several hundred Astartes may gather, but most can only be silent observers, with only a few given permission to speak. Each Household present is allowed five ‘seats’ at the Council. Most commonly three of these are taken by the Warleader himself, the Household's Forgelord and its most senior Flesh Wyrd. The other two representatives are typically chosen by the Warleader from amongst his Wyrds and Hearthguard lieutenants, depending on the matter being discussed.

The Spirit Wyrds act as impartial arbiters, allowed to speak and question as they see fit, and these shamans are the only ones who can move freely between the sectors of the ten Households.

A fairly quick update today. I needed a second Iron Priest for my list, and I had built a second Servo-Arm for the tutorial so I just needed a body to convert into a tech-y type!

After looking through my bitz box, I found I had a Terminator left over from Leviathan! I really like the idea of Techmarines in TDA, they already have a 2+ save and it just seems appropriate (especially in an IH Successor Chapter). Hence, this is not Indomitus pattern TDA, it's Un-domitus pattern Artificer Armour! 

The axe is from another mini that I didn't end up using but works well enough as a counts-as hammer, and the gun is an archeotech (helfrost) pistol.

I'm really happy with the Servo-Arm jackhammer/breaker, it's just made from the same plasticard sheet/rods/x-sections that I used before, though I may need to add some pics of this to the tutorial?

Other than that, I just needed a few bits that were going spare from the new Caanok Var mini that arrived today! (What could I want that mini for? Who could that represent in a counts-as SW force? Find out in the next update!)

Anyway, cheers for looking!
