Carcharodons Display board - Sorrow of Tranquility -

Recommended Posts

I did this early last year...

 

The idea came from a section of Vol 2 of the Badab War books published by Forge World.

 

If you want to see a more thorough explanation of what I did and how I did it, go check out my blog

The title is "Sorrow of Tranquility"

 

 

Upon departing the Maelstrom Zone, the Carcharodons
were to enact a final course of action that would seal their dark legend; what
has become know as the Sorrow of Tranquility. After the surrender of the last
Mantis Warriors to the Red Scorpions ended their part in the war, the
Carcharodon’s fleet returned to the Endymion Cluster. Their, with the agreement
of the Fire Hawks, to whom dominion had now been granted over the former Mantis
Warriors’ domains, they assisted the Fire Hawks in bringing the Cluster’s
worlds brutally into compliance with their new masters and punished them for
their transgressions. The Carcharodons focused their attentions in particular
on the Tranquility system, whose worlds were the primary recruiting and training
grounds of the Mantis Warriors Chapter and housed several of the Chapter’s
hidden bases and armories. There the Carcharodons uncovered and ransacked, and
from Tranquility they harvested a generation of young males to fill the
Chapter’s losses, forcing them to fight to the death to prove their worth,
although weather the Fire Hawks had expected them to go this far remains
unknown. Thus paid in blood, the Carcharodon’s fleet departed the Cluster, with
Explorator augers marking its course through the Warp as ascending the galactic
plane into the darkness of the outer void once more…

 

Enjoy

While it always irks me when I see carcharadons unblooded, and Ive never seen them with such bright armor, I am no judge and youre work is otherwise impeccable , and the award well deserved.   The terrain especially is breathtaking, almost like I can feel the stillness of the air as they march on the hidden bases of the M. Warriors....

Like your IHs posted elsewhere, these too are excellent. Dusty and battered and on campaign for a long time thumbsup.gif . Awesome sauce trench system diorama – could maybe use a few more defenders – but awesome all the same.

Cheers

I
