hendrik Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Since i got bored today and i didn't feel like painting i found myself staring out of the window into the lovely winterland wondering what i could do. offcourse it didn't take me long before i decided after all these years my space wolves finally deserved some winter love and such i went out with my camera to make some pictures of them and then to rework them a bit in photobucket (this man has no photoshopskills whatsoever). here's the first batch. on some pictures i've also put my kaerl forces, consisting of a valkyrie and a shadowsword yet i've made sure i always included a power armoured miniature in the pictures it's funny how much fun one can have with photobucket! 0100 hours; first sightings of a combined astartes-imperial guard advance. no distinctive insignia visible. unidentified hostiles recognised as a valkyrie gunship and stormraven gunship: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270472-1-1.jpg 0125 hours; clear spotter pictures of inbound hostiles, clear sightings of astartes, a dreadnought, shadowsword and air support in the background http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270465-1.jpg 0126 hours: spotter cam on city border destroyed, last transmitted image: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270473-1.jpg same time: spotter drone identifies astartes as space wolves http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270470-1.jpg and the rest of the mostly unaltered pictures :rolleyes: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270474.jpg wolf scouts on board of a kaerl valkyrie. i simply loved the scene of space marine in which the marine was onboard of the valk so i knew i had to have one! it's a nice vehicle for resque mission based games aswell http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270471.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270469.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270468.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270466.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246732-winterland-assault-on-outpost-khine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 just went outside in the baybackyard to make better pictures without the balcony railing of the rest of my wolves. offcourse laying down in the snow while not wearing any clothes suited for it wasn't my brightest idea so i only made pictures of a mounted assaultforce :P uploading and editing as we speak!

They could be questing for something or the xeno/heretic filth could just already be dead in some of them :D Words can paint just a vivid picture as any photo, as anyone will know from reading your work.

hendrik Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 As requested by Khine; a short saga on the assault on outpost Khine ;) --Khine was a small outpost planet in the redorat sector, close to the eastern fridge, named after the noble imperial guard commander that conquered the planet. it was largely known for it's precious admantiumsources and almost everlasting nights, yet it's presence so close to the tau empire had prevented it from becoming a mayor resource planet. Unknown to many Khine was also an outpost of the ordo xenos, a fact only the higher eicholons of the inquisition and astartes were aware of.-- --Khine had fallen now. After being in imperial hands for nearly 800 years nearly 1 year ago the tau empire had made another expansion and with it it had started their invasion of Khine. It had been a short and bloody war, the local pdf force outnumbered 10 to 1. during the last days of the invasion the ordo xenos inquisitor had organised a fierce yet hopeless defence from inside his fortress. Only when the tau forces had breached his fortress and the working drones were melting the blastdoors to the inquisitors private chamber did he send out a scrambled code using a secret sending station into space. It was this code that bran redmaw's fleet had picked up when retourning to fenris after the purgation of Karad, a planet only 2 days warptraveling away. Bran knew the planet had fallen and in time the ordo xenos or ultramarines would take care of Khine once more, yet a thing intrigued him. Why had the inquisitor not send for help earlier? He knew it would have made no difference, Khine would still have fallen but still, there was something more to it. Bran knew this and he wanted to make sure he knew why! Since the Novamarines, Avenging sons and crinsom consults had launched a recent crusade against the upcoming tau empire Bran knew Khine would be poorly defended in comparison to most other planets and most ships of the tau fleet would be atleast 1 day away from khine before they could send any aid towards Khine. The redmaw would attack now, and it would attack swift, using only it's fastest elements to assault the inquisitors fortress. Now Bran didn't want to reconquer the planet, nor free any of the possible enslaved human civilians. No, most of all Bran wanted to know what the ordo xenos inquisitor was doing that he didn't request aid earlier. He knew logan would like such information very much and it could guarantee him some extra slack given the new rumors of him changing into a gaint wolf during combat. a rumour that was nothing more but the ramblings of a half blinded inquisitor. At 0100 the first spotter drones sighted some unidentified skimmer speeding over Khine's frozen grasslands. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270472-1-1.jpg As the drone's progammed spotting program kicked in it quickly calculated the unidentified object their path and set of to interset it. As the drone neared the skimmers its' navigation system suddently showed some fast moving objects inside a nearing storm. As the drone turned around this was the last image it send out; A land raider crusader http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270476-1.jpg By now the tau forces were in red alert and more spotter drones were quickly dispatched towards the missing drone his location. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270493-1.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/eldgrimlongfangs-1-1.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270473-1.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb281/amorfatipictures/SL270483-1.jpg "These were the images these drones made great wolf, and they are the only evidence we were ever near Khine. Not even a single saga mentions the assault on Khine since it was nothing but an executioners job, a task none could do better then us, nor did we leave any survivors in the fortress my lord, the inquisition will be unable to make any links with us as we have even altered the fleetlogs to make it seem we headed straight to fenris" "Good job Bran, now where is the information you founnd out of the ordo xenos?" "included with these data slates Great wolf, our accompagning iron priest encrypted them using his native fenrisian tongue so that none not of fenris blood can ever interpretend them" "Good, very good, this is more then i could have hoped for Bran. With these we have the inquisition in an iron grip should they ever question our loyalty once more! as for the holo-images, destroy them. it's time to tie up all loose ends!" As bran viewed at the holograms once more he lifted his boltpistol and aimed it at the holo-slates. As soon as the round went off Arjac and the rest of logan grimnars wolf guard ran in the room, their faces pale for the sight that waited them. They only found grimnar and bran laughing out loud standing in front of a pulverised holoslate, destroyed beyond repairs. hope you all like it! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246732-winterland-assault-on-outpost-khine/#findComment-2987016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphus Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 What an excellent idea! The green screen needs to be grainy though but that's just a personal preference. Perhaps I could do something similar, if only to hide the generally horrid paintwork ;) . Yours is fantastic though ;) no need to hide it. Green screen for Necron Vision, perhaps...would make sence...and light blue for Tau!

hendrik Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 if you read it carefully you'll notice the only enemy the wolves faced were the tau, the inquisitor had been dealt with by the tau, the wolves only retrieved some special information :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246732-winterland-assault-on-outpost-khine/#findComment-2987594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen Hammer Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 This is great!!! That one NVG shot of the dread is sick.
