greese_m0nkey Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Nice! Put a smile on my face. The story line alone was great but the painting is fantastic. Are you going to expand the force? A land raider with some beer company models in skimpy bikinis on top would go great with this group. American, or some Brit or AussAre you actually ie makin fun of us? If you look at his profile he is from London. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186931-the-stars-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-2211692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer216 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 The Emperor's Champion: How about this? http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_0681.jpg Here is Venerable Dreadnought Linkcon with his special "Purgation" class Heavy Flamer. It was a gift of respect from the Braun II Skitarii, whom Linkon served alongside with during the fight against Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade. Notice that unusually for a venerable dreadnought of this pattern, he is equipped with a multi-melta, all the better to smite down the blasphemous works of the xenos. Linkon was what passed for a master diplomat among the Stars of Dorn. Such was was his ability, that he won the respect and even admiration of the Dark Angels, alluded to by the winged sword on his right kneepad. In addition to his eloquence, Linkon was a great patron of the arts, a folible that ultimately was to result in his much mourned incarceration in a dreadnought's sarcophagus. While watching his favourite play, "Our Amorican Patriots", a bombastic enactment of Amorica's hard fought victory over the Orkish scum, he was near fatally wounded, by the coward and chaos cultist, Johnas Wilkeath Booth. In battle, Linkon, typically enters the fray via Drop-pod, it's fiery descent a mere prelude to the malestrom of heat emanating from his multi-melta and heavy flamer. Enemy armour is his first priority. Once this is dispatched, he then turns his wrath upon enemy troop formations, the burning reek of their seared corpses, a ghostly whisper of sensation to his ravenged senses. I confess to not being totally happy with the paint job. I also have Richard Nixon as a Venerable Dreadnought, in which he is clearly visible as a head in a green jar... I'll see if I can take a pic or two. In the meantime, here's Dreadnought Geralk Ford http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_1199.jpg Oh and as a bonus, here are some pics of Three Sternguard squads lead by Captain "Ace" Rimmerbolt of the 1st company drop-pod assaulting my old garden in East Acton. http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_1172.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_1174.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_1173.jpg Close up http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_1168.jpg Rhino http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/IMG_0353.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186931-the-stars-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-2212134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer216 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Oh and on a more serious note, this lends valuable fire support to the Stars in Apocalypse. The Animus Dominus To quote the almighty and trice blessed servant of the Omnissah, Dan Abnett, Gristle-faced and lipless, the regiments of the dead howl out their awful calumny as your footfall passes. Dun smoke fills the massive cavity of space. Oh machine! Oh divine engine! Furnace hot the welter of your combustion, buckling the rancid air of heaven's arch and fusing the mould of the ground to glass. The princeps in his amniosis, drinking liquid data, broken by the beautiful agony of being so mighty, feels the burden of your great walk as surely as if he had carved the mausoleum plaques of your every last victim alone, by hand, until finger bones peep through eroded flesh. Oh metal god! The union is fierce, like a maelstrom in black water, like a seething cauldron on a fire in which you boil and cook together, no start of one, no end of another, but both admixed, like an alloy. To be clutched by god! To feel the incendiary hunger ring in your marrow! Oh lucky man! http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/Photo335.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/12092009222.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/P1010997.jpg http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii216/Lucifer216/P1010997.jpg To answer previous posters questions, I am English and just liked the whole Team America thing.

Lucifer216 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks :tu: Sword Brethern: Arnold Rimmer is English and a coward. "Ace" Rimmer, an alternative version from a parallel universe, is essentially the coolest guy in the history of creation. I confess to taking inspiration outside of the US with some of my characters. For example, here's the background for the Captain of the 2nd company, Anakin Rickman. Note that this continues the long-established tradition of English actors being bad guys. I'll try to get a pic up soon, but he is in need of a repair job. Calculating, sarcastic and demanding, Rickman is in many ways the opposite of the typical Star of Dorn. A tactical genius, he has suffered long years of mockery for "overthunking" things, before his elevation to the Captainacy of the 2nd company. Unfortunately, this has given him the task of leading men far too gung-ho to appreciate, let alone implement the majority of his strategems. Given this frustrating state of affairs, it is little wonder that the 2nd company continually petitions for the most bloody assignments and is often called in to pacify unrest and rebellious systems. Indeed, Rickman is on the verge of losing the few dregs of pity and mercy still residing in his dual hearts. His reputation for inflicting cruel and unusual punishments was confirmed, when he cut the heart out of the recidivist planetary governor, Robin Costner, using only a dull spoon. This endeared him to Inquisitor McCarthy and as a result, the 2nd Company is frequently called upon, to handle matters resulting from Inquisitorial investigations, that call for the use of pitiless, overwhelming force. Fortunately for the Captain, his iron disciple is starting to filter through to the men under his command, although it has been a long-time in coming. However, it comes with a price. The 2nd Company often finds itself losing out to sponsorship deals, given their grim reputation. This has created a long-running rivalry with the 3rd and 4th Companies, which although less distinguished in victories are led by Captain "Flash" Hefner and Captain Kilgore, both of whom are far more photogenic and appealing to Amorican audiences. Rickman is also trying his best to undermine the position of Captain "Ace" Rimmerbolt, Captain of the First company, but to no avail.

EPK Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Wow wow wow, now it's okay for us to make fun of ourselves (as in the case of Team America), but I'm not sure we can stand for a Brit having a laugh at our expense. It's obvious that some one is just going to have to do a Monty Python inspired army next in retribution. Than again, I suppose an Orkish Waaagh as an analog for the Colonial-era British Empire makes up for this slight at least to some degree. I kid, I kid. Great painting and quite a funny story-line to go along with it. Keep it coming. P.S. Surely the Stars of Dorn are not the only chapter who utilize the ork infested Middle West for training purposes? Perhaps their parent chapter makes use of it as well? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186931-the-stars-of-dorn/page/2/#findComment-2212309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
