EtriX Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 +++Transmission Initiated+++ Encryption Level: Omega Reciever: Iquisitor Osiador Sender: Codename Metatron Type: Imperial Record Subject: New Corps within the Dark Angels Date: M42 110310 A new corps called ”The Watchers” have been located within the Dark Angels Inner Circle. It seems that their main mission seems be to serve as tactical and spiritual advisors to the Company ”Masters” or Captains, but it seems that they are more vigilant after traitors and heretics within their own ranks, aswell as searching for something they seem to call ”The Fallen”. These ”Watchers” seem to work on direct orders from the Chapter Masters and especially the Interogator Chaplains. So far, no traitorus or heretical behaviour found from The Watchers but will continue investigations. Metatron +++Transmission Terminated+++ So... This is my idea for a inquisitorial corps within the dark angels themselves. I want them to be and feel like political officers, searching for traitors and heretics within their own line. The idea grew out of how absurdly paranoid the dark angels are (in my eyes) and how afraid they are of that anyone but them should know of the fallen angels, or worse that more of their own should fall. I came up with this little stupid idea earlier this evening when I didn't know what to do with a Black Templar sword brethren I got from a friend. I knew that I wanted to use him for my Dark Angels but I didn't know as what. And since I already have a Company Master, I decided to create a whole new group. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-3.jpg The Dark Angel Watchers - PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsojVvad Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Interesting idea. So he is an Inquisitor? What stats or counts as are you going to use him in the DA codex for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temper Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I like your idea, a secret police within the Dark Angels, it really suits their secretive nature. But for your transmission, a inquisitor's agent within the Dark Angels? Knowing about the Inner Circle? Having knowlegde of the fallen? That's rather..... unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little question, What do you think is the duty of 'regular' Chaplains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temper Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just a little question, What do you think is the duty of 'regular' Chaplains? True, but the chaplains are known to all the battle brothers. And besides, who will watch the chaplains :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing about the Inner Circle? Having knowlegde of the fallen? That's rather..... unlikely yeah, the transmission is just something I threw together last night, it was more for getting a feel for the organization than anything else so it's easily changeable. The important part is the corps itself. But thanks for pointing it out, I'll write a better piece next time. I'm really pleased that you guys like the idea. I think that a secret policeman is right up DAs alley. I haven't look at any stats yet. I'm thinking of having the company masters rules but with chaplain stats, but as I've said, I haven't look at it yet. All ideas are welcome.

Isiah Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This is my idea for a inquisitorial corps within the dark angels themselves. I want them to be and feel like political officers, searching for traitors and heretics within their own line. I have no doubt that there is somewhere within the IC exactly the type of person(s) you are designing here. But maybe they would be incognito so as to be more effective at rooting out such Chapter defects - rather then as a 'known' or recognisable person. A bit like a secret shopper in fact. So maybe he operates a squad sergeant or similar - in which case your model would still work :D. Having said that I love what you've done with the model - simple, effective and very characterful.

Brother Kovash Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This is a pretty cool idea. To be honest, if anyone gave me a sword brethren, I would have thrown it right back at them. But you've gone and done something creative with the model. Is this group going to exist within just the Dark Angels, or amongst all the Unforgiven?

EtriX Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 ... A bit like a secret shopper in fact. So maybe he operates a squad sergeant or similar... I've been thinking about this as well, and I apply it by using veterans as squad sergeants (since all my veterans wear robes) and that they are apart of deathwing but serve with the tactical squads but can at anytime be rallied to dorn the TDA. But I see them more as working with the Chaplains while the Watchers watch everyone, a bit of Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes, who watches the watchmen. I'm glad that you seem to like the idea. This is my first attempt of creating something new with the fluff (and it also happens to be my first conversion). I also think that if they pose as tactical officers to everyone, even to the company master, it would become such an integrated idea within the chapter and I don't think that the troops would get suspicious. I'm not sure but I think that they should be as secret as possible, kinda like, only the chapter masters know of their real objective, to everyone else they are simply a corps of brilliant tacticians. Any ideas or problems with getting them to work fluffwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makers Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I love this Idea. My Wife plays Black Templar and I play Dark Angels, so this is a chance for me to use some of her guys in my battle force. Cant wait to see how this model turns out. Nice job bud, great idea. I think the "company masters rules but with chaplain stats" should work just fine, but will need some play testing.

Knowing about the Inner Circle? Having knowlegde of the fallen? That's rather..... unlikely I don't know much about the DA, so couldn't the DA infiltrate into the Inquition? So that would mean there is an actual DA inquisitor? If this is possible, I still say you are correct Temper, the DA inquisitor would not be keeping any information on file for anyone to get a hold of it, it would all be locked in his head.

EtriX Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Here is the model as it is right now. I saw a picture somewhere of Dark Angel characters with White armour and Green robes and liked it so everyone that's gone through Deathwing but don't serve in a special armour (or in the regular squads) have their armour like that, just to make them feel a bit more special. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsojVvad Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice looking mini so far. One bit of critique. Maybe you didn't notice it yet, but there is still a little flask or extra plastic on the tip of the sword. I guess the flash set it off to be noticable in the pic. I hate when I don't see it, but then I take a pic, then I notice these things. Just tryting to be helpfull, keep up the good work. As of right now with the black face and green cape, he looks like Dr Doom. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool This call for some Dr.Doom photoshopping :) Thanks for catching that bit on the sword, I'll fix it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtriX Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 So I've fixed the residue on the sword when I painted it. I learned a lot about painting power weapons and they will get better. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-8.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-9.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-10.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/blindrim/warhammer/watcher-11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
