Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 sorry I won't be able to post anything on thursday, got to go to a meeting all week, so I might be online sometimes. But here is my Black Legion character: Name: Garvack Howlon Rank: Chaos Lord Age: unknown Chapter/Legion: Black Legion Names and Ranks of his chosen: Aspiring Champion Arvalias; leader of squad Corinth, Veteran Marine Grimlek; Banner bearer, Veteran Marine Jollus; Aspiring Apothecary, Veteran Marine Sarlack; Aspiring Techmarine, Veteran Marine Harlock; Gun Expert Combat Style: Garvack prefers a close combat assault, honoring Horus’s “Cut the head of the enemy” tactic. Using drop pod and Thunderhawk assaults to decimate the enemy command structure, which is common Black Legion tactics. Using any tactic or skill to achieve victory, he would even sacrifice his own troops to do so. But lacking vehicles, due to battles between Word Bearers and Black Legionaries has led to less armoured assaults for future crusades. Habits: Garvack makes a habit of challenging his Marines in combat or otherwise. Having worshipped the Chaos Gods for more than 10,000 years, he believes that in accepting their gifts that it would show weakness. The only strength that the gods could offer them would be daemon hood, he would say. Having accepted possessed marines as a unit in his warband, he still would sacrifice such specialized individuals needlessly. One habit he has sworn to was to never take off his helmet, mainly the reason was because of Horus’s death and their failure as a Legion to conquer the Imperium for the Dark Gods. Strengths: 1. Garvack is a master of close combat after 10,000 years of warfare. Carrying an ancient Daemon Weapon called Bor’gash, along with an archaic bolter. Using these weapons he attacks with sword, fist and bolter in close combat making him a formidable foe. 2. Garvack is also a master tactician on the battlefield, sensing the ebb and flow of battle, he is able to decipher when to attack, defend or withdraw. Having learned the art of torture thoroughly in his service to Abbaddon, he knows the biological limits of every species that exists in the galaxy known to date. Having specifically perfected it on loyal Astartes. He exploits both Tactical warfare and torture, to the full. Weaknesses: 1. Having a personal hatred for the Imperium that has been nurtured he tends to do close combat assault attacks, just for the pleasure of seeing loyalist marines die under his talons and bolter 2. Being impatient during battle, has always been his problem, and this has led him to take rash decisions some times, which led to either victories or failures. Appearance: Garvack wears a modified and continuously repaired Mk III Iron armour. Adorned with spikes, daemon faces, studs and chains, it barely reflects his original armour during the Great Crusade. His armour is black, as is typical of the black legion, with gold trimmings. Carrying helmets of worthy loyalist Space Marine Captains on his torso. His right shoulder pad, has a blood letters skulls attached to it and his left shoulder pad carries the Black Legion symbol. Wearing a Mk 8 Helmet that is twisted from warp exposure, the helmet resembles more of a snarling Bloodletter than an Adeptus Astartes helmet anymore. Having draped over his shoulder is a cape made out of some gigantic Black Wolf, that closely resembles Horus's personal garb during the heresy, but it is rumored that Abaddon personally gave this to him for his unbreakable loyalty towards Horus and the Legion. (Extremely) Brief history: Having served in the Lunar Wolves for two decades, he was only a sergeant when they transferred their name to the Sons of Horus. During Horus’s betrayal he quickly aspired to Captain of the 15th Company and was their during the battle for the Imperial Fortress. Having learned of the defeat of Horus, he quickly took an oath to never remove his helmet until the Emperor’s loyalists were all slain to the man. After 10,000 years of warfare, he was seen on many battlefields fighting alongside Abaddon, mainly as an advisor or as the leader of a speartip. He is the bane of many loyalist chapter, ones such as the Ultramarines, Black Templar, Blood Ravens, and even the Grey Knights. Having little allies except for Black Legion Lords, he despises the Red Corsairs and Alpha Legion. Ship: Chaotica Mortis (Battle-Barge) is a battle barge that was in existence even during the Horus Heresy, and carries a massive array of weapons and modifications. So this is my characters profile and here is the "Squad" loadout: Garvack Howlon - Daemon Claw (equivalent to power talon/ lightning claw) also called Bor’gash, and has an archaic plasma pistol, that is mainly fueled by Warp sorcery Aspiring Champion Arvalias - Archaic chainaxe and a Forrix pattern Bolter with Inferno ammunition Veteran Marine Grimlek – Banner, Foorix Pattern Bolter with Vengeance ammunition Veteran Marine Jollus – Narthecium, and archaic Bolt pistol with drum magazine and small chainsword attachment Veteran Marine Sarlack – Servoharnesh, power axe and Forrix pattern Bolter Veteran Marine Harlack – Plasma Gun, gladius and some Melta bombs Hope you guys like the Character and the weapon loadout, if anyone can give suggestions on where I should start these characters in the story would be great, because I don't now if I should start them out on the planet surface or if they just arrived in system and are ready to take it for Abaddon. C&C would be great :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3109101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Could we not do something like the Liber Astartes series with the headings and so forth but with details about the main character and supporting cast? We could even go as far as using the B&C's Space Marine Painter to show colour schemes and the like. Any of the mods looking at this thread? I'm down with that, I could do something with my warband, besides it would be a fun addition to our organization :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3109111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So I decided this, I don't have neither the brain power nor the time for the next two weeks to start any stories, so you guys are just going to have to put me on MIA for now :yes:. I already talked to Lady Cannoness and she wants to start something like this, and I told her that I will make the thread even though I might not have any chance in posting anything. Anyways just wanted to let this be known, live outside of B&C is getting hectic and there are too many funerals I have to attend, so I guess I will have to put the writing material down for now :no:. Anyways good luck with this story, I hope it will end excitingly and may the Dark Gods and the Emperor guide your minds to a fruitful story. sincerely CMO Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3110977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This is what I did a while back, I still have this as a Wallpaper, but I thaught it was funny or cool.

Nineswords Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did you do the artwork? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3111934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Did you do the artwork? I changed it up a little, from the original. Like when I found it, it was only half of the body, I just completed it, including the background. That and I added the words. But I also decided that I can make wallpapers for stories. For example, if somebody wrote a Black Templar short novel, I could make different artwork for different chapters of the story. kinda what Lady canoness does with her Inquisitor Godywn stories.

Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It is, but there was no picture that had her bottom torso, so I just made it myself. it looks badass in my opinion. I'm putting in my lot of a story, even though I had help in getting the idea, from my girlfriend. It iwll be in the COIWWOF. Come check it out, I think it is awesome!

Nineswords Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Onyx, That's absolutely amazing! It's not just the fact you can illustrate, but what's more amazing is that you matched the original artwork, something I can do in Photoshop but could never illustrate from scratch. Have you got more artwork we could check out, and would you be willing do a few pieces for the PDF version of the book I'm putting together? Cheers!

I got one more, but I don't know if I can make more. I have little time, the most I can write, but drawing is difficult. I mean not hard, but it is time consuming. Maby, I'll see what I can do, depends also on what you want me to do. So like I said here is the seond one, mostly I altered it for the new thread, but what ever, their nothing much but I only found the Inquisitor in the picture the other stuff I added for the most part, some Grey Knight were already there but I altered them a little: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3112183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineswords Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 You know what? A single image for the cover would be enough with a similar aspect ratio to say, the Horus Heresy series. I'll work out something with Grim and the others and put in a request. Totally amazing.

Llagos_Tyrant Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I was just wondering, with all the 'Tale of ?? Gamers' threads on here, would anyone be interested in making our Lords and Chosen on here or in another thread as models so we all know what we look like? I was planning on doing it anyway but it would be a nice incentive :D - though I would prefer to wait until the new CSM codex is released ...

Nineswords Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't mind, given that there's plenty of daemon's totally annihilating the north side of the planet. Can you clarify the situation with your guys and the other COWOF thread? Also would you have time to do us an illustrated 'Front Cover' for the PDF book?

Can you clarify the situation with your guys and the other COWOF thread? Also would you have time to do us an illustrated 'Front Cover' for the PDF book? Well since only one guy has joined my thread so far, he seemed fine with it sofar, as long as nobody has joined yet. And sure I would do a front cover, do you want me to put all of the 'bad' and 'good' astartes on it? like Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, etc? Well I can still post the bio for the grey knight if you want, and if you do want to see it, then i'll post it here EDIT: It would also help, if you guys gave me an idea, of what typ of front cover you guys would like it in. For example: All the characters Chapters on the front cover or just a battle scene with the words 'COWWOF (what ever you want to write here)'. Just typ me something up, of want you guys would like to have. That would make this alot easier for me.

Chapter Master Onyxius Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 So considering to now would be a good time to join the COWWOF again, since all the bad memories are fading, I have finally started writing again for the Emperor, so this is my Character (I know it is bad enough that this is my 3rd character). I won't change it again, I promise. Now here he is, just say if I should alter something or if it fine. Name: Lionus Ishmael Rank: Justicar Age: 350 Chapter: Grey Knights 5th Brotherhood Names and Ranks of his Chosen: Mordan Hyperius - Grey Knight Battle-Brother, Ajax Solomus - Grey Knight Battle-Brother, Rebalias Enoch - Grey Knight Battle-Brother, Alaric Jericus - Grey Knight Battle-Brother Combat style: Lionus prefers Stormraven or deep strike attacks, which is typical to the Grey Knights Chapter. When teleporting into battle, he usually like to lead his squad into the heart of the fight, where he believes the enemy's leader is at, striking swift and fast and chanting the litanies of purification he dives into battle intent on doing the Emperors work. Habits: Having learned everything there is to learn about the enemies of mankind he rarely delves into combat without thinking about the consequences, being strategically gifted he analizes and learnes the tactics of his enemies before he chooses to go into combat. Having learned early on to trust his mentors and leaders instincts when it came to battle, he would often speak openly about what desturbes him. Having been loyal, open minded and truthful to his fellow brothers and captains has helped him ascend to the position of Justicar thus far. Strengths: 1. Having the mind of a strategically gifted genius, he is able to feel the ebb and flow of battle, and is able to read the enemies next intentions before it comes to pass. 2. Having fought for nearly a dozen decades, he has perfected the art with halberd and stormbolter combat, and how to channel and use his psychic powers effectively without endangering himself or others. Weaknesses: 1. Being stubborn in combat, he would gladely fight until the end then fall back, having suffored many casualties in the past, he has been seen as a true warriors, but every time this nearly leads to his death. Eventually this may be the cause of his demise. Appearance: As all Grey Knights he has a polished and shining armour of bright silver. Having the symbol of the Chapter oon his right shoulder pad and on the left his personal heraldry. His heraldry is a sword cut in half that is in the colours of red and white. His features are young in comparison to most Justicars of his Chapter and his hair is dark brown. His eyes are grey, the colour of storm clouds. (extremely) Brief History: Lionus Ishmael has served in the Grey Knights for about 340 years now, having been seen as a confident and powerful psyker during initiation, he was trained by the most powerful Librarians of the Grey Knights and trained in the art of Halbred and stormbolter by Brother-Captain Taremar Aurellian. Having been at the battle of Armaggedon, he had seen his former mentor die, but with great honour and Integrety. Having learned what it means to be a Grey Knight, he has pushed himself even harder to serve the Emperor. Being watched closely by the Grandmasters and the Librarians, he is constantly proving his worth to the Emperor and his fellow battle brother. Character weapons loadout: Lionus Ishmael - Mastercrafted Halbred with stormbolter Morden Hyperius - Psi-Sword, stormbolter Ajax Solomus - Psi-Sword, stormbolter Rebalias Enoch - Nemesis Falcions, stormbolter Alaric Jericus - Psi-Halbred, stormbolter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252280-sign-up-for-the-cowwof/page/12/#findComment-3115274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
