Termie's respite from Univeristy

[Terminatorinhell]

Hey guys, I have been back from Uni for a while (things have gone well too :mellow:) and now I have some fresh new minis to put here. I had a big FW order so expect to see a squad of mk4 marines, mk3 marines and some other goodies that will be a surprise :)

for an appetizer here is my Maverike Primes conversion challenge figure:

Brother Arphamid

“Brothers, we must stand against this heresy!!” Sergeant Hakmid bellowed as the incoming tide of chaos marines and cultists swarmed over the hills and into the path of squad Hakmid. There were hundreds of foul traitors and they began firing wildly. The squad returned fire with their bolters, brother Xiphes taking careful aim with his plasma gun liquefying any unfortunate chaos marine to cross his path. Their fire was disciplined, timed perfectly so it seemed that neither of the marines ever reloaded. Suddenly a dark force was felt in the air, Brother Arphamid watched the sky turn blood red. From the ranks of the chaos traitors a tall figure strode into his line of sight, he was accompanied by 10 chosen marines and he gestured grandly. “Fools, you do not comprehend the true power that I hold, you cannot stop me from slaughtering this planet and ascending to my daemonhood. I am Ahmit the Butcher and I have come for your souls!” Brother Xiphes was the first to die, he took a full clip from one of the chosen as he fired defiantly, taking one out before falling to his knees, his torso ripped to shreds. Brothers Hamid, Epharim and Maluk charged into the squad of chosen fighting fiercely with their combat blades Epharim logded his blade into the throat of one of the chosen but the traitor cackled and snapped the blade and ripped Epharim’s head cleanly off his shoulders. The Butcher strode into squad Hakmid and slew the rest of the marines, covered by cruel volleys of his demonic chosen. Only Hakmid and Arphamid remained, Hakmid roared defiantly as he charged into the Butcher’s escort, his power fist making short work of several chosen. Suddenly he was stopped dead in his tracks, The Butcher had come from his blind spot and skewered him on his blade. Hakmid turned to face his murderer, gripping the blade to try and remove it but The Butchers blade was heavily serrated and it only made his wounds worse. Hakmid spat his blood into the Butchers face “You will never take this plan-“ he was silenced as the Butcher tore his head off and placed it onto a hook on his belt. Arphamid was in a fury he charged into the squad with his combat blade and he managed to kill two more chosen before his left arm was sheared off by bolter fine, he took another volley to the chest and tumbled over. His armor read that he was critically injured, he drew his bolt pistol and aimed it at Ahmit but his right wrist was pinned down by his heavy boot. The Butcher leaned forward and removed his helmet revealing a horrific face that had been stripped of its skin so that only his skull remained, he whispered: “You, I will leave you alive to shame your chapter, to tell them that we are coming.” Arphamid blacked out as the Butcher bellowed his foul laughter.

The next time Arphamid woke up he was surrounded by marines in black and red armor, and an Apothecary was leaning over him. His left arm had been replaced with a bionic and his chest was heavily bandaged. “I am Chief Apothecary Pallas of the Crimson Guardians, we have come to assist your chapter in the defense of this world.” Arphamid sat up, his armor was being repaired by a pair of servitors. “Your has nearly been exterminated by the foul hordes of the Butcher so we are taking you into our ranks to keep your chapter legacy alive.” Pallas said. Arphamid roared in anguish, his brothers of nearly two decades had all died, no doubt in glory and yet they were not enough to stop the Butcher’s rampage. “You will have your revenge, I promise it.” Pallas said as Arphamid took his armor and saw the new brothers he had to join. He shook his head angrily “I will kill him with my own hands, it is the only way I can restore my honor to the chapter.”

Six months later:

The siege on Planet Harrakas by the Crimson Guardians was in full force, nearly five hundred marines and thousands of Imperial Guard regiments had been sent to attack this bastion of the Butcher. Squad Rahim, with its newest member Arphamid led the charge into his strong hold. It was glorious, the Crimson Guardians battered their way through cultists and chaos marines alike, with Imperial Guard artillery shattering through the heavy walls of the fortress. Finally they reached their goal, The Butcher stood beckoning at them to attack. Arphamid stepped forward and raised his chainsword in a challenge. He charged and locked blades with the Butcher. He kicked out with his leg and caught the Butchers knee joint, shattering it. As the Chosen around the butcher were slaughtered by the bolters of Squad Rahim, Arphamid battered the Butcher to the ground with furious strikes of his chainsword, the Butcher swiped at him with his claw but Arphamid narrowly escaped before he drew his combat knife and pinned the Butchers wrist into the wall. He drew back and thrust his chainsword into Ahmits chest, gore spattering him as he drove deeper. “Who are you?” Ahmit rasped. Arphamid drew closer and removed his helmet, “ I am the one you didn’t kill, and now I have come to restore the honor of my fallen chapter.” Ahmit’s eyes widened as he saw the teal shoulderpad of the chapter he had believed he had completely destroyed. Arphamid grabbed Ahmit’s skull and tore it away in a shower of blood. He threw it to the ground, and looked into Ahmits dead eyes. He brought his boot up and shattered the head into a puddle of gore. He did it, he had finally brought honor to his dead brothers, his new brother also roared in victory as the last of the Chaos defenders were wiped out. The Emperor smiled upon him today.

I'm in exactly the same boat brother. I'll be adding my own WIP when I make a little more progress, Astral Claws for me.

 

Your sergeant looks good, the posture is strong, I look forward to seeing what you do with your FW Armour Mks ;)
