You really nailed it with the knight, man. =) First head.

 

And it's amazing what you've managed to do with the Prince, I'm usually not one for absolutes but I find that mini to be terrible, both in wow-factor and potential for conversions.

Firstly, damn you B&C corrupted data for making me lose nearly 30 posts on this thread. Suppose I'll atleast repost my Terminator first in case anyone had not seen it before.

And now for a real update. So a while back I did a minor poll to gauge what people wanted to see. And of course, they wanted to see more Word Bearers. Go figure :tongue.:

 

So I aimed to deliver. the Plan is to have a full Tactical Squad (and by tactical I mean bolters only, two Plasmas, and a Champion with a Combi-plas in a Rhino) modeled in roughly a week. Normally it would take far less but work has been eating all my hours away as of late. and this is my last week of work. So wish me luck, eh?

 

Regardless, here is Sergeant (He HATES to be called Champion) Kor Raanan. Raanan is an ancient as Hell Astartes dating back to the Unification Wars of the Sol System. While not a child of Colchis, Raanan is also not one born from ancient Terra. Raanan was child born within one of few remaining Hive colonies of Venus. There such small and rundown bubbles were the only means of surviving in the completely uninhabitable wasteland. In the prison domes, people slaved tirelessly in the atmosphere cycling plants or the Underground mines for greedy warlords who waged constant war in volatile tunnels for resources and food.

 

Raanan's features (or what is left of it that is human) is a constant reminder of where he came from, thick leathery dark flesh wrinkled and stained from sweat and atmospheric pollution. When the Imperium came to Venus, Raanan was one of many children offered up to the Sky Warriors in hopes that such offers would appease the distant empire and offer the hungry people refuge and aid. Little did they know that their situation would never change, and their 'tithes' would increase their laborious production tenfold to fuel the War Machine with deepground minerals and atmospheric chemicals used for the reviled White Phosphex munitions.

 

Raanan had always been an inquisitive soul, and as such he found himself quite comfortable within the XVII Legion, even if his brothers did not always feel the same. By nature, Raanan has always loved to question, to debate and would take any chance (still does) to bring the Metaphysics of religion into question, both playing Devil's advocate at many points and asking questions that many might have seen as going a bit too far. To be truthful, Raanan was a very religious soul, and thought it was healthy to question one's own faith because that will only make the bonds stronger. Because of this, the Chaplains of the Legion could never offer their approval for his promotion past the rank of Sergeant and he had quite contently remained there for the entirety of the Great Crusade.

 

Although he was not one of Terra, Raanan was 'close enough' to many of those who oversaw the Brotherhood Culling. Were it not for the intercession of Chapter Master Allant who protected his own, Raanan would have been executed for the simple matter that he was born on a different world. For saving his life, Raanan has sweared undying loyalty to Allant, yet at the same time he questioned that it might have been better for the Chapter if he had died.

 

Now, over Ten Thousand Years, Raanan has become something of a spiritual adviser and adversary for much of the Chapter, always questions, always putting the faith of his younger brothers to the test. Many times has he been offered now the rank of Captaincy or Chaplaincy but each time he has politely refused and remains content as but a simple Sergeant. Because of this, the Chapter holds immense respect for the grizzled warrior and have unofficially bestowed upon him the addition of 'Kor' to his name as a sign of reverence, to which the ancient Warrior simply allows a soft smile to play upon his mutated visage.

 

So, here is Kor Raanan on the battlefield, lost in thought as he gazes upon his rosary while one of his boys is probably trying to mow down the Orks or Imperial Guard that are heading straight for them. Just another day in the service of one guy who never stops thinking.

I can't say you're wrong. Heathens already has a planned character in my Chapter, Kol's Night Lords are Privateers for the King, and Jasp's World Eaters fought alongside the Chapter during the Heresy.

 

I like making stuff with my friends. :)

Noctis Oprah: "You get some fluff! and you get some fluff! Everyone gets fluff!"

But in all seriousness, I approve of this idea. My best friend is moving back here in about a month or so and he should be starting up a WB log on here soon for his campaign army. We're going to run the campaign out of the Fall of Orpheus book and just tweak the backstory and names to fit the armies we have. It would be awesome and fitting for my guys to have prior history with the Word Bearers legion in general though, that way our alliance isn't just out of the blue seeing as we sons of Nostramo don't play to well with others.
