Asrech Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Here we go! As his tactical squad made it's way through the burnt out buildings of the Hive city, sergeant Rah'kei tried once again to reach his Captain for further orders, but something was causing havoc on the coms and all he could hear was static. The forces of Chaos had struck hard on this world, several of it's major cities obliderated in a few days, the PDF that had not turned renegade slaughtered. So the call had gone out to the Space Marines of the Ash Dragons chapter, proud decendants of Vulkan, to purge the planet in holy flame. One of his men at point gave a quick signal, and the squad squatted down behind whatever cover was at hand. Through the smoke a great wall came into view, the gate for what had once been the main armoury of the city. If they could destroy the wealth of weapons and ammunition stored within it would be a dire blow against the enemy forces. But Rah'kei knew that such a place would have defences that not even his squad of marines could overcome, and their weapons would not even scratch the surface of the gate, no matter how many bolts they fired from the heavy bolter battle-brother Erahg was carrying. Finally the static cleared from the coms, and the sergeant heard his captains voice once more in his ear. Quickly he gave report, and requested support from a squad with heavy weapons that would be able to breach the wall. There was a moment of silence then he heard a chuckle and the captain replied "I will grant you something even better old friend, eta in 90 seconds." A minute passed, suddenly three booms split the air and the ground shook as the gate vanished in a raging inferno. Behind them sergeant Rah'kei saw the smoke part before a rolling wall, a giant white aquila above a field of flames moving forward. His sergeant had indeed sent something better, he had sent Invictus. Three huge barrels lit up as the squadron of Vindicators fired a second salvo at the armoury, reducing everything in their path to ruin.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Fantastic 'special' effects there brother Asrech, the fraters on the DA forums tried to convince me to do a similar job using DA wings etc. I couldn't bring myself to do it. But now I see yours I can see why they tried, coolness in a jar. stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248988-vindicator-squadron/#findComment-3015464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Cheers mate! Prime black, then use a mechanical pencil to draw the outline of the symbol, that way it's fairly easy to get it even and straight. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248988-vindicator-squadron/#findComment-3016102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXTOASTRMASAKR Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 These would look terrifying on the field. Definitely a thorn in any of your opponent's sides. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248988-vindicator-squadron/#findComment-3017473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
