Angels_Blade Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Every chapter has its heroes. Calgar, Sigismund, Gabriel, Tycho, Shrike and Telion are but a few of the names that are revered by the Imperium. Often these mighty warriors go on to lead their chapters with heroic deeds with near suicidal courage. The Knights Scorpio are no different. The Honour roll is astounding for such a young chapter. Horatius, Kaltan, Herminius, Martinious and Antonius to name but a few. However, in the eyes and hearts of the Scorpios' Battle Brothers, there is one such name that is held above all others; Knight-Captain Cato Valdor. Valdor is one of the originals, the first ten captains of the Knights Scorpio, and the only living member of the council of ancients. His personnal Honour roll is so great, that it rivals that of some of the imperiums greatest. The sacking of Ursis four, The seige of hive alpha, The destruction of the Space Hulk eternal fury, The battle for the Undying Faith. the list goes on. There is no doubt that Valdor could be the Chapter Master, but it is a rank he refuses to take, always manovering others he feels are more suited to the task. On the battlefield, he is often in the vanguard of the attack, leading the terminators of the Scorpio Ferrus at the heart of the enemies defences. He is a living god to those who fight with him, his mere presence giving the Knights Scorpio strength and courage when all others have fallen. Knight-Captain Valdor was formally the captain of the 3rd company before the loss of the Undying Faith. After the chapters reconstruction, Valdor took command of the remaining Terminators from the 1st Company and redistributed them around the rest of the chapter. His fellow captains must petition Valdor and the Council for their use as it is only he who can order the fearsome 'Iron Scorpions' to battle. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170049.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170050.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170051.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170052.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170053.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170054.jpg Knight Captain Valdor with Chapter Master Kaltan and Knight-Captain Herminius http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/PB170055.jpg C&C Welcome Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154266-knight-captain-cato-valdor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Argent Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 You, my friend, are a god of painting. I sometimes wonder if your actually the Emperor in disguise, or maybe some kind of Chaos God... I wish I could convert and paint to your level. Bloody good show, and all that.

Heru Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Shame the hammer is so plain. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154266-knight-captain-cato-valdor/#findComment-1799826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love the model, and the hammer looks great despite some few varying degrees of being plain. Maybe do gold filigrees and such? I dunno, but try and make it look a tad more ornate, and he'll be one BAMF.

Disistablishmentarianism Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've seen him somewhere before :P just can't remember where ^_^. Anyway, top quality painting! Only nitpick is the legs you've based him on (Forgeworld right?) look as though he's about to dislocate his knee (unsure if space marines can do that), nothing major, just my own opinion. Instead of calling him one of the originals, how about one of the ancients instead. Much more imposing on resumes. I like the plain hammer, any different it would draw away from the rest of the model.
