Taerij Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Lupercal! I'm working on consolidating my marine collection (bits, orphans and new purchases alike) into, ultimately, a primary marine force. I settled upon Luna Wolves because I've already built a few Sons of Horus veterans and because I love to explore characters that have fallen the furthest. The term 'Pre-Heresy' is thrown about so loosely these days, I like to be a bit more specific in my projects. The army is being based on the events leading up to and including the Ullanor campaign, prior to Horus being named Warmaster. With this in mind, I'm embracing the legion traits as a whole. A large emphasis is being placed on the spearhead tactics used - to the extent that I may use the Blood Angels codex for Troop assault squads and Deep-strike Land Raiders. Blasphemy, I hear you cry. The first company and/or Justaerin wore black armour. Some power armoured marines are quoted to have white trim, such as the Reavers in Horus Rising. I am to take a mix of first company with a core of tactical and assault marines in Luna Wolf grey. Additionally, at least one squad of Sisters of Silence. Here's my test pieces for veteran assault marines: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kXlK4x3A2QU/TP13uVbYu2I/AAAAAAAABEA/NurKvtIyxNc/s720/reavers_02.gif And a PIP of one: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kXlK4x3A2QU/TQFsVnBLEHI/AAAAAAAABEk/GnM0ROXftno/s640/reavers_03.gif Also a PIP Sister: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kXlK4x3A2QU/TPTFAkyLflI/AAAAAAAABDE/9aEWFvWrCMM/s640/sos_03.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216777-of-wolves-and-women/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wise_crak Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The Einstein Frigate? Do you mean Eisenstein? That's a Death Guard ship. yeah! my bad typo! :huh: next bit is kinda a spoiler if your working your way through the Horus Heresy books: yep its a death guard ship alright! but when some of the troops that Horus couldnt trust found out that they were going to get killed a bunch of marines from 5 legions all jumped on that ship and jumped into the warp to get to terra to warn them of Horus' attack :P about 70 marines escaped varying numbers from each legion :) that is what im basing my Luna Wolves off the ones who escaped teamed up with the other loyal marines and now going around kicking some chaos ass! :P Wisey :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216777-of-wolves-and-women/#findComment-2585866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
