++ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ++ Brothers, the dogs of Lorgar have shown their treachery today. Let them know that the Sons of Guilliman do not fall so easily, and make them pay for their betrayal of the Emperor in blood and death. Courage and Honour! ++ END TRANSMISSION ++ ++ Centurion Jay Burgii and Cyber-Hound Dag ++ ++ Hailing from Old Albia on Terra, Centurion Jay Burgii was inducted into the XIIIth Warborn following the Osiris Rebellion. Steadily rising to the rank of Centurion, Jay was destined to only ever be a Line Captain, his Superiors believing he lacked the Necessary qualities to rise much further. A Stoic and uncompromising demeanor has lead many to believe he was destined for the XIVth Legion, but the casualties sustained at the hands of the Psybrids lead to his recruitment into the XIIIth instead. Seen here accompanied by his Cyber-Hound Dag. ++ ++ Apothecary Servius Agorix ++ ++ Long time friend of Jay's, Servius has served with the 3rd Centuria since his induction in to the Brotherhood of the XIIIth's Apothecaries. Witnessing the loss of so many loyal warriors of the Emperor at Calth has lead Servius to become a shell of his old self, grim and brooding where once full of brotherly camaraderie and humour.++ ++ Veteran Squad Kaeso ++ ++ Whilst the majority of the 38th Company were stationed at Erud alongside the rest of the 3rd Chapter during the muster at Calth, Veteran Squad Kaeso were accompanying Captain Jay as an Honour Guard within Numinus City itself when the atrocity began. Battling in the heavy fog that fell upon the city and facing hordes of traitor scum and never-before seen horrors, it would be hours before they were reunited with what little was left of the 38th. ++ ++ Tactical Squad Tertius and attached Rhino++ ++ WIP Veteran Tactical Squad Gnaeus ++ ++ WIP Legion Sicaran ++ This is actually further along than in this pic, only needs transfers applying now and its finshed! ++ WIP Command Squad Nobilis ++ Some of you may recognize my thread from the WIP part of the forums but I thought I would post them over here in the Ultras subforums as well. The plan is to get a playable fully painted 2000 point force done as soon as possible as I would really like to start playing 30K/40K, something I have never done in 14/15 years of me actually collecting warhammer. Once the 2000 point force is done, I'm slowly going to try and paint the entire 3rd Centuria (the pic at the top) with supporting elements. To some it might not be that great of a task, but I'm not the fastest painter in the world unfortunately and I have a tendency to get side tracked by other shiny things! I'm currently working on the 2000 point list, but will post it up when I feel like I am happy with it. For now, heres just a few WIP pics of what else I am currently working on for the army! Also built and basecoated I have 5 Suzerain, a Land Raider, 5 cataphractii with another 5 in bits, another tactical squad and the B@C contemptor. I thank you all in taking the time to read/view my log and I'll try and do my best to churn out some painting in the meantime! James

++ INCOMING TRANSMISSION ++ Brothers, the dogs of Lorgar have shown their treachery today. Let them know that the Sons of Guilliman do not fall so easily, and make them pay for their betrayal of the Emperor in blood and death. Courage and Honour! ++ END TRANSMISSION ++ Here I go again.. Hi all, with the latest Primaris release firmly cementing my 40K hobby into a 30K hobby, I've decided to start a new WIP log based on updating my old 30K Ultramarines. Originally the marines that I have recently been true-scaling were for a 40K army so that the Classic Marines didn't look too short next to any Primaris Marines I was going to get, but I have set my heart on only focusing on the 30K side of things for now as I am feeling a bit disenfranchised with the current 40K setting. Therefore, everything I have worked on this past year is being retrofitted to make a new, slightly taller, AoD Ultramarines army (still using 8th Edition rules unfortunately as my main opponent only plays 8th Edition Orks). My old topic is here for anybody interested: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328330-the-atrocity-at-calth-the-38th-company/ I decided to restart my Ultras and scrap all the old army as I was not happy with the paint job I had done on them as I have since improved, and I've always wanted to make my Marines slightly taller than standard so they don't look so short compared to Imperial Guard etc. Just to kick things off I thought I would share a few of my favourite figures that I have been working on recently, but I will share more stuff over the coming weeks as I get deeper into the project. To begin with, this is my latest iteration of my homebrew character, Centurion Jay Burgii of the 38th Company. The name Jay Burgii is a play on my own real life name. I have a habit of creating characters that are meant to represent what I would like to be in the Warhammer universe. An as of yet unnamed Chaplain A Librarian for when Guilliman eventually re-allowed them And just some regular marines to show the scale of them compared to regular marines (Note that the red lines aren't perfect but are just there so you can get the gist of the size difference) Obviously there is a lot of work to be done in filling in the gaps and smoothing out the areas that I have shoved plasticard into, but it will all eventually get finished. I currently have all the parts to make 3 10-Man Tactical Squads, a 5-man command squad, and a contemptor dreadnought. I have also got my Sicaran Battle Tank and a WIP Leviathan Dreadnought that I would like to strip to start again, but have yet to build up the courage to do so. Thank you for looking all, and I hope to give you an update in the not too distant future. I have a habit of starting WIP logs and never getting very far with them, but hopefully I can stick to it this time. In my 17 years of the hobby I have yet to complete a fully painted army of any substantial size, which is something I really need to rectify. Especially now that I have finished University and have a full time job so I can actually afford to do so. Thank you for looking, Jay
