Dangerousdan73 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 ++++ Inquistorial Report ++++ After the 13th Black Crusade the High Lords of Terra ordered the formation of The 881st Crusade for the purpose of bringing all the worlds that fell under chaos or xenos control during the 13th Black Crusade back into Imperial control or destroy them. Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Marneus Calgar and Inquisitor Lord Pietro Ximenez were given the task given the task of marshalling the forces needed to carry out the will of the High Lords. To date several Chapters of Astartes have pledged support to the crusade. To date several worlds have been liberated from the control of xenos, rebellious planetary governors and purged of the taint of chaos. The crusade is currently focused on liberating a a system under the control of Ork Warboss Grotgor Mekgob. ++++ End ++++ This is the rebirth of a previous diary, after reading through some old codeices i have rewritten the fluff behind the army and changed the way i want to play it. Basically this will be a Space Marine force made using Codex Space Marines but cause i cant decide on a single chapter ive decided to use as many as i can. Modelling wise each squad will be modelled/painted as a different space marine chapter, allowing me to indulge in some of the great conversions i got rattling around in my head and different marine/chapter models. I will also be adding the different special characters available to space marines ie sgt tellion, lysander, pedro ect to use in the army for a bit of difference Another idea i want to use for this is characters in squads ie a librarian in training with smite as a counts as "marine with flamer", chaplain in traing, apothecary, techmarine or Deathwatch Vetran returned to his chapter ect ect Game/playwise i want to have an army i can chop and change whenever i get bored with the current list or get throughly thrashed :) also im hoping to provide a challenge for regular opponents who will never quite be sure what there gonna face, so for now ive got a list of minitures currently in my possesion and the chapters i intend to model/paint them as. Any feedback/suggestions you have for the background/ fluff / modelling ideas would be appreciated :huh: Heres a of list of units i can assemble using what i have atm Tactical Squads Iron Hands- using the GW conversion Kit and my own scratch build bionics Imperial Paladins- have modelled these guys in the Mk6 Corvus Armour Sons of Orar Iron Knights Assault Squads Flesh Tearers Scythes of the Emperor will be armed with Chain Scythes Devastator Squad Mentor Legion Scout Squads Ultramarines Sniper Squad with Sgt Tellion Howling Griffons CC squad w Land Speeder Storm Landspeeder Squadron Eagle Warrior magnetized to be able to upgrade to tornado variant Bike Squad White Scars 4 bikes 1 attack Bike Scout Bike Squad Exorcists Chapter Vetran/Sterngaurd Squad Salamanders Vindicator Aurora Marines Terminator Shooty Squad Imperial Fists 4 Dreadnoughts Black Templars Dark Angels Angels Sanguine Doom Eagles I have tried pick squad chapter combinations that fit the background/fluff of that particular chapter Heres a few shots of the Imperial Paladins Tactical Squad, I gave them all MK6 Corvus Armour and have mainly used the Black Templar Upgrade Sprue as 1 There Paladins and the tabards look good and i like the chained weapons 2 There chapter symbol is actually a templar cross with a skull on it which is on of the icons used on a lot of Black Templar minis Ive gotta go back through and clean up mould lines and do bolter muzzles and add skulls to any plain crosses so they look more chapter specific :P Link to Lexicanum Imperial Paladin Page http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/dangerousdan73/WIP%20and%20Conversions/044.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/dangerousdan73/WIP%20and%20Conversions/043.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/dangerousdan73/WIP%20and%20Conversions/039.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/dangerousdan73/WIP%20and%20Conversions/041.jpg http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n60/dangerousdan73/WIP%20and%20Conversions/045.jpg Next squad im wroking on will be a Sons of Orar Tactical Squad hope to have pics up on the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfLordKejl Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If this was Pre-heresy..I would say do the vindicator as Iron Warriors. Maybe even the dreads.

Dangerousdan73 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Decided on Aurora Chapter for the vindicator as suggested on another forum, the fluff written for them has them as a very amoured assault chapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Neat concept, and good use of bitz. One suggetion for Brutus...chop a little bit of the back of his neck joint out, so that his head fits properly in the Mk8 collar. Right now it looks like he's got a bit of giraffe in his DNA. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
