mega_marines Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0701.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0700.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0699.jpg Brother Terai is somewhat of an enigma to the command structure of the Lamenters Chapter. Having returned from his service in the Deathwatch scant months before the Badab War, and hailed as a hero, Terai returned with a deeply changed personality as well as Mk14 jetbike; one the last few working examples of one in the Imperium of Man; gifted from a brother of the Deathwatch hailing from the Blood Ravens after saving him from a swarm of voracious Tyranids. How the Blood Ravens came across such a relic, and were willing to part ways with it, is very much unknown. However, Chapter Master Phoros was loathe to separate the warrior from his gift and leadership role, and as such, allowed the brother his own form of command. Though he is not a Captain and not attached to any Company, Terai falls just shy under the rank of a Captain, and is allowed to attach to any Strike Force or Company he is requested of; essentially being a floating and fluid resource. Utilizing his much vaunted experience as a member of the Deathwatch and closely working with the Inquisition, the battle brother has a firm grasp and understanding of the theatre of war, as well as the many political facets of the Imperium. In many scenarios, Terai has been the voice of reason and a negotiator of sorts. But this is a secondary function, as the battle brother is seen more often than not leading from the front, holding the line the where it may falter, and driving the foe back atop his relic of the Horus Heresy. There is something to be said about the warrior’s personality though. Terai knows much about the forbidden lore and technology of countless Xeno races; from the Hrud Archives to the Eldar Wraithships, his knowledge is vast and dark. Yet, he also holds a deep loathing and disgust for the Astral Claws; who are now Red Corsairs. When asked, Terai mentions that he always found Huron’s nature both deceitful and malcontent, and that the Astral Claws were but leashed dogs of his. Whenever the Lamenters encounter, or even hear news of the Red Corsairs being nearby, Terai is always at the fore, his fervor magnified tenfold, his grip on his chained power sword tightened to the extreme. There is even word in the pirating forces of the Corsairs that there is a knight warrior of the Lamenters who will not rest until every single Red Corsairs is dead, cleaved or spitted by his blade. Game-wise/Rules-wise, he uses the rules of a Blood Angel Epistolary on a Bike, with a Storm Bolter, Power Weapon, Melta Bombs and “casts” Wings of Sanguinius” every turn to make the bike a Jetbike. as well as Might of Heroes to increase his attacks by D3 whenever I play against Red Corsairs or whenever I feel particularly slighted. He’ll never use the “Force Weapons” Instant Death ability, nor will he ever use any other “psychic powers” since he’s supposed to be a rule of cool model, not an actual Librarian. :D that noise. Also, anything else I should add or change on the model before I prime him and paint him up? -Matt :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224030-brother-terai-of-the-lamenters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 At the request of a friend, I removed the book: http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0708.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0706.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224030-brother-terai-of-the-lamenters/#findComment-2678865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nathan Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 i would ask wy haveyou given him a storm bolter, as a spacemarine bike has a twinlinked bolter built in, really it means your unnessiarily sacrificing an attack as you dont have 2ccws. also i would think about adding either an infermus pistol so you can use him to pop tanks too as youll be moving fast enough that you can get to tanks weakspots. even could just model it on the bike. regardless very cool, look forward to seeing it getting painted!

mega_marines Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do I even have to comment? Oh, what do you man? :) i would ask wy haveyou given him a storm bolter, as a spacemarine bike has a twinlinked bolter built in, really it means your unnessiarily sacrificing an attack as you dont have 2ccws. also i would think about adding either an infermus pistol so you can use him to pop tanks too as youll be moving fast enough that you can get to tanks weakspots. even could just model it on the bike. regardless very cool, look forward to seeing it getting painted! Well, WYSIWY-wise, the bike itself has has 4 barrels on the front prow. So I decided that four barrels doesn't equal 2 shots, and therefore the Storm Bolter would fill that gap. And I may slap an MIU Infernus Pistol on him for sheer rule of cool. Did something similar for Lord Phoros, so I'll take it into consideration :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224030-brother-terai-of-the-lamenters/#findComment-2679302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabgoi Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Cool looking model. I am thinking the power sword is from what, black templars sprue? I really like the model, but since you asked, here are some ideas. I am in favor of the twin linked bolters as well instead of the storm bolter (maybe mount them on top of the eagle's wings to tie them in). I would likely model the infernus pistol under the prow of the bike since its a rule of cool model I think it would be pretty awsome for a tank killing shot to come from an unexpected angle. For me, since you want him to have the back ground of having access to all of these dark secrets the book on the bike seems completely appropriate. While it has sleaker lines without the book, it seems to me to be missing something without it, but it looks great either way.

Electrolytes Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I did not know that bike was all metal, that thing must weigh a ton! Looks really good though!

fivepointedstar Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 since you've removed the book it does look way better. But to fill the void of lost relic space you might also think of adding a shield with his personal heraldry in that void. The chained sword is always awesome i use it all the time you might wanna buy a few blood angels bitz to get the blood vials, and or other sons of Sanguinnius relics for such a herald knight atop a jetbike to ride headstrong into the foul Red Corsairs.
