Brother Agrippen Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Greetings Battle Brothers :tu: Im new to B&S and have to say i've been really inspired by the great builds logs on this site to keep cracking away on my Ultramarine force. Having read the Fall of Damnos by Nick Kyme, i wanted to build an army based on the survivors of Damnos. Im writing up come fluff to go with my army and hopefully ill have that up soon ;) Ive already picked up: X2 tac squads (one will be a strenguard squad) X 1 Razorback X 1 assault squad X 1 Captain and in time i plan to pick up: Drev squad razorback & rhino dreadnought honor guard for Captain Been working on my company Captain for a while and itsnt Captain Sicarius in my Fluff something befalls the good captain :) Captain Scipio: equipped with power sword, bolt pistol and iron halo http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100956.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100957.jpg also managed to get my Razorback painted and weathered over the last few evenings http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100953.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100952.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100954.jpg thats all for now folks, all comments welcome :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 i'm really digging the razorback, the weathering looks nice :) not a fan of your captain though, i think the blue powersword is too much in tone with the rest of the mini and therefore doesn't draw as much attention as it would in a contrasting color. furthermore his groin area looks a little crowded with oath papers in my opinion.

Brother Agrippen Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 - Wicced, thanks for your comment, glad ya like the razorback had a lot of fun painting it up, and i feel all armor vehicles need to be weathered and damaged in my army as it gives a little interest to the overall paint job as for the powersword i must agree with you on that one, there was always something i was unhappy with his finish, now i think its the sword drawing too much focus away from the mini, im thinking of repainting it a black, with light grey high lights and white or red power lines running the length of the blade that might brake up the figure a bit more and balance him out. i think ill keep the oath papers on his waist as i want him to stand out a little, but the sword i think ill redo thanks for your comment cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Agrippen Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Howdie all got another chap turned out today, the first of my tac squads starting with the sergeant armed with a trusty power fist ready to punch any tank right on the snout :wink: http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100961.jpg the laurel took me an age to get right but it was worth it at the end as it gives my battle hardened Sgt. the mark of battle hardened veteran. the mini was painted using Citadel and Vallejo paints.

Brother Agrippen Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi, Did some fluff for our rocket specialist hope yee enjoy ;) Brother Titus "the reckless" http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa334/longlance67/P1100967.jpg Being first squads tank popper, Brother Titus earned himself the nickname "the reckless" after an action on the Forgeworld of Specter Prime where elements of three great companies including the Second, Forth and Fifth deployed by drop pod to counter a large chaos assault on the planet. As the Ultramarine battlegroup numbering 256 Battle Brothers began to retake the worlds primary industry zones. Titus on his first engagement as a full marine found himself alone having survived his drop pod being shot down by ground fire. Salvaging a missile launcher from wreckage of his mangled pod. His own bolter a twisted ruin from the impact. He set off alone to avenge his fallen Battle Brothers. Stalking the building and catwalks that overshadowed the battle zone, he hunted for enemy armor who by now had liberated several Baneblade super heavy tanks from the planets vast warehouses. Singling out these iron monster which was in process of wiping out Ultramarine frontline he with his lone missile tube began a duel with the beast. And was successful in disabling the tank by dropping the building in which he was positioned on top of the tank by firing his only Krak rocket into one of the damaged building's support columns sending tonnes of rumble and him along with it raining down on the charging tank. Titus survived the collaspe which was withnessed by many Battle Brothers in the second and forth who's position the Baneblade almost destroyed only for Titus reckless and quick thinking. Though three decades have passed when a dust covered, semi conscious Titus was pulled from the rumble. Reckless has lived up to his title on many a battlefield. hope yee found enjoyed that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Agrippen Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Brother Syth, thanks for the comment and kind words, im not a big fan of GW decals as there not the best quality and have a nasty habit of silvering and not conforming to the models surface. But what a way around this, is to first coat the area with matt varnish or what ever sealer your using, the using decal setting solution to get them to set then another coat of varnish and bobs your uncle ;) HJL, thanks for the support mate, glad you like them mate :o nearly done with my next set of marines so ill have photos uploaded soon cheers, BA.

Grotsmasha Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I like Brother Titus' fluff, not sure if it's very codex and Ultramariney, but its fun and I like it. Cheers, Jono EDIT: Just realised, Brother Titus, Ultramarines 2nd Company, does he have a promotion in his future I wonder :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Agrippen Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Grotmasha- really glad you liked titus's back story, i know he's actions are not fitting to the codex but thats what makes for fun typing for Titus as a character. Titus's traits are his ability to think outside the box and not conform to the codex but rather come up with things on the fly. He's based losely on the captain of fourth great company during the Hersey who displayed the same traits. But as you spotted there could well be a promotion for Titus that will lead to many a argument between more traditional brothers ;) glad you like his fluff i have more on the way cheers, BA.
