Captain Cirrius Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 So I've had a WIP thread over in that subforum to cronicle my LPC vow and I thought that I would post pics of each finished member of the squad I'm painting up along with a little fluff about that character! Also, if you like what you see, go check out the WIP thread here I've been asking quite a few questions on that thread and unfortunately, have not gotten many answers so any comments and critisism over there, as well as at this thread would be greatly appreciated! Ok here we go with pics. WARNING! INCOMING FLUFF! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Champions of Retribution are Chapter Master Amyntas' personal guard and advisors. The most oustanding warriors hand picked from throughout the chapter! They bring swift justice upon their foes with the best equipment the chapter has to offer, and are Amyntas' hand with which to strike vengeance upon the traitor and persecution upon the alien. Aside from being the most skilled killers in the chapter, they also serve the purpose of guard to their Commander, and each is reminded of this by a small decorative shield that each dons somewhere on their armor or wargear. Champion Marculushttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8098/8517933721_82dbfdddfe_m.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8241/8519045784_476daf93fc.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8085/8519045844_2b0841c750_m.jpg Known simply as 'The Hammer', Marculus is the oldest Astarte in the chapter, save for those entombed in a Dreadnaught. He is also considered the wisest, and is the only Champion not to have been born and recruited from the chapters detroyed homeplanet of Parsus IV. He is one of the original members transferred into the chapter from another. Marculus acts as Amyntas' top advisor, imparting his wisdom of war upon the Commander just as he did for all those who came before. * Champion Vindex http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8107/8517951443_7f3edf4b52_m.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8090/8519063412_7e18a36037.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8531/8517951385_6ec1dd6b52_q.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8372/8519063446_75ee9a6388_q.jpg Vindex is the youngest of the Champions. He is brash and uninhibited in his acts of valor. He frequently clashes with Marculus, who he views as a kind of relic of war whereas his generation are the future, and he is not afraid to voice such opinions. Amyntas encourages this form of rivalry in his ranks, and especially in his guard, for each member is an advisor whispering council to their commander and Amyntas prefers to surround himself with differing opinions to better grasp the whole spectrum of a situation. * Champion Volo http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8243/8517885053_7e10eaf806_n.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8377/8517885209_238929e4d8.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8248/8517885101_5143630724_m.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8519/8518997136_456715fc46_m.jpg Volo was inducted into the Champions early in his career, taken from the ranks of the Assault Marines. He is a humble and understanding soldier, accepting criticism gratiously for his unorthodox approaches to war. Volo understands that a battle is an ever changing environment and prefers to counter a situation with otherwise unforseen approaches. While accepted by his squadmates in the Champions, the rest of the chapter are skeptical of Volo, though Amyntas finds his alternate council invaluable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading Again C&C is MUCH appreciates and go check out my WIP thread.

Captain Cirrius Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well apologies on the double post I guess.I have finished the next member of the squad! I give you.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Champion Telum: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8228/8521533426_a025def0d1_m.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8513/8520421165_c64eab79d1.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8377/8521533406_8a2266b655_n.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8508/8520421167_315b9c1618_m.jpg Telum is a soldier through and through. Duty trumps all other motivations, even honor and vengeance. He does not advise or council Amyntas as do most of his squadmates for in his mind, he is simply a shield. His duty is to guard his commander and he sees this as being of the utmost importance. Because of this dedication, he was given the honor of donning one of the chapter's few sets of Terminator Armor. Amyntas keeps Telum close at all times and considers his dedication and performace in battle to be invaluable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C&C is always very much appreciated!

Captain Cirrius Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Finished the final member of the squad! So I have now painted my first ever complete squad since i started playing more than six years ago. Knew I'd get around to it eventually :PSo first I post pics of the final Champion with the accompanyine fluff, and then I will post pics of the whole squad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8506/8525466381_4b6ed40c37_m.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8514/8526580272_0c06cde923.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8525466241_4fa06cf516_n.jpg Champion EquesEques was selected by Amyntas from the ranks of the Devestators. His understanding of heavy weaponry is second to none within the chapter and his council on the use of such equipment in combat has proven very useful time and again. Like Champion Telum, Eques' past accomplishments in battle have earned him the right to don a suit the chapter's rare Terminator Armor into battle. He acts as both weapon and shield to Amyntas and is credited with saving the Chapter Master's life on multiple ocassions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Champions of RetributionsAdvisors and Personal Guard to Chapter Master Amyntas (left to right in order of completion)http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8244/8526580068_035ebfd663_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8104/8525466015_13867d2156_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8514/8525465895_dd5acd1796_z.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8243/8526579640_4d8e0ac8ac_z.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well there you have :) My first finished squad!C&C is very much appreciated!!! 214 views and no comments means I'm either doing something very wrong or very right.
