Brother Heinrich Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 "I've heard other soldiers and warriors describe Astartes fighting 'faster than the eye can follow' or 'like a wind of death'. Praetorian Hashec Tor was nothing like that. He was a roaring force of nature, howling at the foe as he dismembered them like a maniac. There was art to the way he fought sure, their had to be given his bizarre choice in weapons. An axe meant for two hands and a chainsword? Who fights like that? I couldn't tell you how he did it, only that it was effective in the most gruesome way imaginable. Given what I've seen I know why we need the Astartes, but Throne, do we need the Night Lords?" - Idris Varen, Legate Commander, 667th Solar Auxilia Cohort Hashec Tor, Praetorian, 15th Company, VIII Legion Astartes http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20III/IMG_1917_zpskn5pmivi.jpg ++++++++ 3rd time is the charm right? I swear I'm done now. Just waiting on those damn legion pads to arrive so I can stop fussing over stuff that I should just leave alone. Thanks everyone for your input, I'm gonna keep the axe since it's such a part of Hashec's persona anyways. I also like the Eye idea since I want to start weaving nods to the Warmaster's favor in amongst the 15th Company anyways.I envision the 15th as kind of black sheep amongst the VIII. They engage in direct orbital strikes and terror tactics like their peers, however they often attack hard points and engage in asymmetric warfare where their peers go for soft targets with less inherent risk. This means they suffer higher casualties of course, but it has caught the eye of the Warmaster and earned the respect of the Sons of Horus, who hold tenacity and ferocious cunning in high esteem. (Starting to see where 'The Hammer of Nostramo' comes from?) ++++++++ I actually have a question myself. That chainsword he's carrying... Where is it from? It looks different, almost like a scimitar in a slight curvature. Is it possible to get a better picture of it, please? Maybe its just the angle. It's actually a Khorne Berzerker chainsword shaved down and slightly modified: http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20III/IMG_1921_zps4jondjmm.jpg Comments and criticism much appreciated as always.

Darth Bob Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Absolutely love the curved blade of the chainsword. Might have to swipe that if it's alright with you. As for the axe, I think it in and of itself is fine, but the little bit of chaos iconography definitely has to go. You could always go with a wing pattern to cover it up! I also wonder if the posing would look cooler if he was holding the axe up more in a triumphant leader-like pose. I think both arms in the down or at-rest position clashes a little bit with the leg pose, which seems like he's summiting a hill and is overseeing a battlefield, leading his men from the front. Just an observation, though, keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvationOfReason Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thank you for the scale shot, much appreciated. Was not disappointed at all, in fact I was even more impressed.He truly does look brutal. If my allegiance wasn't (mostly) to the XVth, I'd follow Hashec into Valhalla anytime.

MagicMan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Great to see Hashec back in action, brother! I clocked your Orks on another site, btw. Did that project crash and burn? Thanks MagicMan, as far as Urmag To-Kuttah and his mob goes, they are on indefinite hiatus until Orks get some decent :cussing rules. Lol i feel that, brother.

Brother Heinrich Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 So as I was sitting there ripping bolters from the hands that had wielded them through countless battlefields, I decided to go back and look through my log at the moments I had first introduced characters such as Vadrek, Shaara Vayne, Einar Black-Knife, Cel Herak, and all the rest... Suffice to say after reading and looking at all the love and time I put into them, I just couldn't bring myself to change them. These are little pieces of not only fictional future-history, but my own as well. Each brutal, psychopathic member of 1st and 2nd Claw was a cathartic release for my real world frustration, anger, and pain in the wake of my time in the Marine Corps. Thus I quickly glued the bolters back where they belonged and took a shot of all those first members of 15th Company that I cherish so much. These are not the 15th Company of M.31, though some stood on the walls of Terra that fateful day, these are the face of 15th Company in the twilight of the 41st millennium. These are hardened veterans of thousands of years of conflict and strife. They have watched brothers die in the mud and rain, talons clawing at the skin of the Imperium with their last breath. This is the face of 15th company at the end of days, and so it shall remain... http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20III/IMG_2019_zpslvzojgtg.jpg With that, I put the 15th Company Warband in a drawer where they'll be nice and safe until I have the space and funds for a display case. ++++++++ What does this mean for 15th Company circa M.31? IT MEANS WE'RE RIDING THE HERESY TRAIN STRAIGHT TO HELL! We're building this mother-fether from the ground up. Got tweaks I want to do with the paint scheme, new green stuff tricks, and a whole bucket-full of motivation. Gonna be ordering some Mk.4 and Mk.3 Legion armor and really doing the 15th Company the justice a Legion force deserves. I wanna get back to the roots. I want to tell the stories, the triumphs, and the shames of the Marines of 15th Company during the truly dark days of the Heresy. Thus I give you the first of 18 Executioners to come: [REDACTED], Designatus: Terror Marine, XV Company, VIII Legion Astartes http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20III/IMG_2026_zps8os5xpyv.jpg - AVE DOMINUS NOX - Checkmate, Slips, Tyrannicide and 13 others 16 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalvationOfReason Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I was sad when I saw you were ripping apart (part of) your Night Lords. The decision to 'start fresh' so to speak, is a fantastic idea. I, for one, am happy to see you keeping 1st and 2nd Claw together, untouched and safe. Best of luck with the new endeavor, looking forwards to seeing your plan come together. Brother Heinrich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Heinrich Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does this mean you might end up making a "15th Company across the millennium"? Hah I wish I had the money, patience, and time for that man. No there's pretty much just going to be two incarnations, them at the height of their power in the Heresy, and the version that exists now, the tattered remnants still doggedly clinging to existence and vengeance. 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
