Im in 

This gives me an excuse for a little project Ive been thinking about. 

 

What do you get if you cross the following:- 

  • Rhino chassis
  • Baal predator Turret and sponsons 
  • FW predator extra armour kit
  • FW Mk iv Tank crew

I think this will make a pretty tasty little 1st company Nid killer. 

 

To follow this up Ive also got an Achilles LR conversion kit ready to go so theres vow 2 if I get vow 1 done.

 

 

Why the two oath maximum?

Just so that you Ultramarines will move from your Theoretcials to practicals faster.... msn-wink.gif ... Will ened some strategic thinking and no last minute add ons...

remember that this is a work in progress, a trial by fire of sort for this new version of an event. I hope the Sons of Ultramar will kepe the faith and flock to their banners!

+ + + CURRUS BELLI EVENT & The LOYALTY & TREACHERY EVENT + + +

 

Alright then... it's all happening now.. Captain Semper has unleashed the Loyalty & Treachery Event which you can see here. Loyalty & Treachery The important factor is that if you plan your participation well, then you can submit the same armoured kits that you make here also for the L&T event thus killing two birds with one stone.... or two awards with one modle/s... :)

Excellent..... I am very confident that the Sons of Ultramar will flex their armoured sinews... After all you don't really want to let down the Spear of Macragge do you? You have the only character related to armoured warfare in the Space Marine codexes.... :)

Im looking forward to this although its kind of taking my focus off my stern guard unit!

Heres the bare bones rhino and LR. 

Bits for the Baal Predator with extra armour conversion and LR Achilles are now on order. Jut got to hope they come in time.

These will both have a spot undercoat of black on the new bits then a complete respray in Blue (just in case anyone thinks Ive already started)

We participate for the honour of the legion, the progeny of the Guilliman and the name of our Primarch.


The prize for victory is Honour and Glory! .....


.... and The Pearl of Ultramar

The Pearl of Ultramar will be will be presented as a 100 x 100 badge.


The Pearl of Ultramar will be awarded only to those honoured battle brothers who belong to the winning faction who have completed their oaths!

 

Only ONE Faction will have the honour of wearing this badge of honour! Which One??


+ + + HONOUR + + + COURAGE + + + SKILL + + + TACTICAL ACUMEN + + +


Which Sons Shall prevail?


The First or the Thirteenth?

 

The Green or the Blue?


The Children of Caliban or the Children of Maccragge?


The Sons of the Lion or the Sons of Guilliman?


Come the First of November


Let slip your chariots of War!


Honour & Courage!

So hows that for timing?

All my Bitz came today.

Ive an LR Achilles conversion kit

FW predator extra armour

FW tank crew 

and all the bits to convert a rhino to a Baal Predator

 


Only question is do I vow both at once or one first? The LR looks the easier of the two!
