The fools think us gone from this galaxy. They think we are nought but shadows and dust, tales of terror to frighten wayward children.

Oh ye of little faith! Don't worry, the 15th Company isn't going anywhere. I promised to see this project through and see it through I shall. True the fluff writers and things like these so-called "centurions" (In the Legion's day that was a rank, not a synonym for giant armored toddler) have driven more ever faster towards 30k, but that day has not yet arrived. The 15th will continue to fight the good fight and bring darkness to an all to bright future.

 

So here is what I've been working on lately. The Atramentar 2.0 project is progressing well, the only thing I need to do now is add the spines on the three new members and get my hands on some of those delicious Sternguard Combi-Plasmas. (For those of you who had your name attached to one of these venerable elites, I will be getting in touch via PM to make sure which new one you want your name to go to, feel free to PM me first if you already know. This doesn't apply to you Ven, you're the champion, deal with it ;) )

As you can see, I've added some rivets as well as further armored thigh plates to all of them. Also on the recommendation of my best friend Kibosh, I swapped out the generic axe heads for more brutal, fitting axe blades. Thanks to him for kicking me in the butt and refusing to let me settle for mediocre. Additionally I've added a little bit to Hashec himself. I re-did the cable for the power fist and switched out the blade on his axe. I also tried my hand at GS-ing an icon on his shoulder, let me know what you guys think!

C&C much appreciated as always, it keeps me going!

 

Ave Dominus Nox!

@Capitano:

Thanks! I plan to get them all painted up as soon as I get my hands on 4 combi-plasmas. 

 

@Jaspcat:

I was thinking the dude with the skull face and horns, any input from your end?

 

@BCK:

Thanks man! I'm not thrilled with the skull either, it was my first time sculpting one so I need some practice, may end up re-doing it soon. Gotta have the lord lookin' fresh.

I just tried sculpting a chapter icon for the firs time myself, and even though it just a lightning bolt, it was more difficult than I thought it would be. Yours is pretty damn good for a first try and it can only get better.

Techmarine Orathos looks up from his work to see brother Jaspca entering his workshop. There is a sullen cast to his features and his shoulders are slumped as if in shame. In his hands, he bears his power sword, only recently re-blessed and anointed after repairing a chip in the blade. It had taken Orathos three days to calm the angry machine spirit within the powerful weapon and coax into obeying properly. Turning off his plasma cutter and abandoning his work, Orathos sighs heavily, seeing a new chip in the blade, bigger than the previous one, nearly snapping the sword in half.

 

"You forgot to activate the power field again," Orathos intones with a heavy sigh. It's not a question.

 

Brother Jaspca kneels and holds out the sword before him, head bowed deeply. "I was caught up in the fighting, Brother Orathos. In my vigor, I-"

 

"Leave it and go," Orathos orders. "I suggest you offer prayers to the Ominissiah as well as the God-Emperor in the hopes that the machine spirit of your weapon will accept you after this continued mistreatment."

Breathtaking work, Heinrich. Literally eye-opening, new-swear-word-inventing stuff.

I can honestly say that little statement means a heck of a lot...even if it is never used in a novel the fact that even in your "free time" you do this and enjoy the hobby...
