Lol @Jaspcat, I'm just about to turn in. Enjoy your day off!

Formally, here is my pledge:

"I Lord Khârn (T0MMY) in this oath of moment, will produce at least 1000pts (see list below) for my legion, the World Eaters, and for the warmaster"

Counts as Khârn (conversion) [160pts]

Troops - CSM squad [236pts]

Troops - CSM squad [233pts]

Dedicated transport - Rhino [35pts]

Dedicated transport - Rhino [35pts]

Elite - Terminator squad [226pts]

Elite - Terminator squad [255pts]

Fast attack - Raptors [TBCpts]

= 1170pts + raptors and anything else that catches my eye drool.gif

I have updated the rule page to include all changes this is the final cut, I will not be changing or making any other exceptions to the rules.

 

I have resized the banners please allow 24 hours for changes to occur to them.

 

oath completion banners have been made as well for loyalists and traitors.

welcome aboard Brother Tyrax! it's good to have you. I have followed your marines malevolent, And I expect cool things from you.

  • id remove all khorne icons
  • probably cut it at the waste and remove RHS shoulder pad replace with mkII legs and pauldron.
  • head swap to a hand sculpted gladiator helm.
  • maybe chainaxearise the axe

 

 

 

 

if I do this ill add another 5 rampagers to my oath and all up this will complete my 10 man rampager squad.

thoughts?

Hail all valiantly loyal, grudgingly loyal but suspected disloyal, cunningly disloyal not yet known to be disloyal, and absolutely despicably disloyal brothers of this fine forum...

My vow is recorded here, and I am eager to join in the Battle for Humanity! I'm starting with some very basic minimum sized squads for now. As there isn't an immediate deadline, there is plenty of time to add on as each unit is completed.

Should all WIP posts be here, or is a separate thread called for? I was wondering as to how picture intensive it might get.

Ciao!

HA HA HA, fair enough! I was going to do either word bearers or Death Guard. but, 1000heathens convinced me to stay in the emperors light.

he appealed to my inner hobbyist.("they're going to be really under-represented" and "Think of the conversion potential!"

he knows me!

that's going to be cool, I believe it's your immoral imperative to proceed!

So you're just gonna use the chest, head and bare arm? Why not go with some of the plastic WoC Knights or Jug-riders instead? They've got the same armour but are plastic and have a variety of available heads... ?

Yeah, you can build this without having to buy the figure.

I had considered Iron Hands, but I'm feeling the Heresy vibe. I don't like 40k 'Chaos', it's too gaudy. I love the darkness in the Heresy though and the fall of the Sons of Horus is something spectacular.

Agreed.

 

 

So, I was talking with 1000heathens about my army's fluff(Istvaan survivors) and the he suggested to add some Iron Hands and Raven Guard........I think I'm gonna do it.

 

this will be hard-fighting, bitter, revenge in their hearts army. I am going top play with the already loose moralities of the 30th.

 

so now, I must start to sell my organs on the web to fund this project!

 I don't like 40k 'Chaos', it's too gaudy.

 

They don't have to have funky trim everywhere and be festooned with skinned faces and severed heads to still be chaos.

 

*ahem*

But, the more 30k goodness we can get going in here, the better.

No, but traitor marines can easily be made from loyalist parts with a few bits here and there to differentiate them as traitors, like shoulder pads and backpacks. I started to do that very thing with my Iron Warriors before I finally gave up in frustration after a decade of waiting for a decent codex.

Hello fellow Legionnaires,

I am seeking your advice.

I am having a tough time consolidating some of the "pre-heresy/heresy" Dark Angel imagery that is floating around the interwebs. Some of the older Rogue Trader artwork and models are beakie-centric, some modelers & other artwork display very knightly and visor-helmed images, all too concealing robes seem to dominate from time to time (which kind of hides the various Mks of armour), and the latest banner from the HH collective is rather iron golem-esque. Not to mention all of the FW Mks of armour with no guide (likely for awhile) to show the Lion's Legion.

Here are just a few examples of what I'm trying to mesh together:

med_gallery_8429_8832_1597491.png gallery_8429_8832_12828.jpg

I would restrict the robes and winged helms for Vets and Commanders most likely.

The knightly visor helms appear to be along the lines of the Emperor's Champion model - I've seen this in models and GW art. Yet, they don't really mesh with the FW armours, do they? Or would they be appropriate as commander helms if I added the wings "Thor-style" (rather than the greek/roman brush-helms)?

What are your opinions? I would appreciate the input.

Okay beaker helms with red stripe as sargents less mkiv and more if mkii & iii for troops. Stay away from black greens, I'd go straight black.

 

More despoiler troop choices ie. chainswords and bolt pistols and keep the force fast orientated jetbikes outriders and flyers
