stu1982 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 On returning to Elysium IX, the remaining lions led by their new master convened a council of war to discuss how they would begin to plan and replenish their decimated numbers and how to insure that such a tragedy would never again befall their majestic chapter. The pride council, what was left, all agreed they needed aid from their brothers of war. They sent emissaries to those chapters they believed likely to aid them. Of all the chapters they sent word to, only a few responded. Of those only 2 sent more than just promises and words of aid. The honourable Black Templars which had already done so much, sent more apothecaries to assist in the medical needs and training of new medical staff, and some weapons and armour to help defend themselves. The other chapter to respond fully was the Sons of Russ. On reading the accounts of Lord Ekene and the other members of the Pride Council about the atrocity that had transpired on Armageddon and in feeling that in the Lions, the Sons of Russ had found kindred spirits of honour and mistrust in the Inquisition, Lord Grimnar himself sent one of his wolf lords and a contingent of warriors to assist the Lions in whatever manner they could. This Wolf Lord Raigus brought with him not only warriors to help trains the new Lions but also Iron priests to help forge the Lions a new armoury and Rune priests to help lead the Lions to new heights to psychic defence if ever their paths crossed that of the inquisition again. Spending many decades and more with the Wolves, Lord Ekene and his council learned more than just friendship and Honour amoung these Wolves, they learned of how Lord Grimnar followed his own tenants about the composition of his chapter and not those set down in the Codex Astartes. On fully learning and understanding how the Wolves composition could lend itself to what remained of the Lions forces and newer recruits, they remoulded their battle formation to mirror that of the Wolves, in doing so the believed this would help them take to the stars sooner to bring honour and glory and redemption to the Chapter that is the Celestial Lions. During the years of replenishing their numbers the Lions, with some unexpected help from the mechanicum, again an organization that mistrusts the Inquisition, has replenished some of its heavy armour units and some prized speeder units. During this time also the Lions have managed to send squads out with their allies on some sorties, in these battles the trust between chapters has grown and forge bonds of friendships amongst the ranks. Certain warriors earning reputations of honour and courage and bringing glory back to the chapter. Warriors like Khenator Rhan, Pride leader and furious warrior and his true brother Cestus, now Celestial father of the Lions. Librarian Axis Sunsoar who has been with the Wolves for nearly 100 years learning from and proving himself to the priests of Russ. Also another name to be hailed is that of Torgar Ironstriker a steadfast warrior and unbreachable force, always fighting with a hearty laugh and a strong arm, leading what as now known as the Iron Lions, what remains of the 1st company. It has been many centuries since the Lions could send anything but a expeditionary force out from their home world, but know the Pride Council believe the time has come for the Lions to forge anew the name of the Celestial Lions. Under the commander of a Young Pride lord, one Khenator Rhan, who has shown great promise and purpose to the council, a company has been sent to join the fight against the enemies of The Emperor. He leaves with the words of his Chapter Master held close to his soul "Lead well your pride brothers my son, Forge anew the glory or the lions. Prove to those doubting the honour of our fallen. By blood and by Deed you shall roar into the stars and bring fear to our enemies. Take justice, vengeance and redemption to those deserving of it. GLORY TO THE LIONS" That's a small bit of blurb for my new upcoming army, altered slightly from an earlier post I made. Stay tuned to see the army take shape........each character of my army will have some fluff added at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu1982 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 there have been some developements for my lions....after recently finding out that the lions are indeed a successor of the imp fists and how they benefitted from the help of the black templars and also finding out that even less than the 96 truely survived Armegeddon. This Chapter will grow strong again, but will do slowly. marine by marine....the mini i was developing as my commander has now been scrapped.....and i have now decided to convert up a deathspeaker(chaplian) and spirirwalker(librarian) before tackling my commander. have added some pics of my painted troops so far....only four i know but i have another one awaiting his colours lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I love 'em, really. I've always beeen wary of gold (I've never managed to paint one I really liked, especially when I compare to other painters...) but you've managed to get very nice results so far. And the gold and blue combination turned out alot better than I expected it would, so am definitely looking forward to more from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
