Kol Saresk Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I think I'm just going to have a ship called the Terrible that has a Fire Raptor called the Shepherd of Vengeance. :D In a perfect world at any rate. Although my taxes might make it happen.

Tenebris Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Well I was thinking of an Desolator-Class Battleship which served the 8th Legion during the Horus Heresy as a hospital ship. I like this class of battleship due to its ranged role and because it seems to be such an archaic ship of war that this controversy fits well the Night Lords. It is just about typical of them to use such a hallowed design as a corpse cart, a shrine to the dead and the lost of so many battlefields. The name I am considering is an altisonant Gothic one but the ship is most commonly known by the 8th and their cousins as the "Carrion Bird" due to its unsavory role of collecting the dead and the wounded, due to its massive apothecarion decks reeking of blood and offal and due to the screams of the dying filling its dark halls. Since the Desolator-class are intended to blast everything and everyone apart with their massive firepower it is logic that just such a ship would be a hospital ship. By keeping all sorts of enemy vessels at arms length due to its firepower it is safe to assume that the ship can easily be participant in a fight from afar whilst it is also able to scatter incoming enemies in a few broadsides from its massive long-range cannons. This ship in M41 has an interesting role in my head canon. The warband drops from the warp above warzones where things have gone really bad for Chaos and offers relief in the dark halls of its hospital ship. Once the corpses of foes and allies are gathered, rescued or stolen away, the warband then levies its release in return for tribute. The apothecarions do actually deliver the gene-seed of the fallen and restore those warriors who can fight again but all this is done once the tribute or price is agreed upon. It is a very vicious form of blackmailing but I find it much in character with the legion. At the end of the day if the other warbands cannot deliver the demanded a choice is offered to the wounded and the dying. Serve my warband or die. I assume that when a marine is filled with tubes, stimms and his chest is wide open he has little to argue the cruel demand.

Xin Ceithan Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Launched from the Saturnine Shipyards in support of the nascent Imperium's expansion towards the outer solar system and in preparation of the "Great Crusade", the heavy strike cruiser "Asphyxia's Call" was attached to the naval assets of the growing VIIIth Legion. In displacement and design a forerunner of the infamous Styx class heavy cruisers, Asphyxia was designed to act as a predation pattern fleet centerpiece, able project the force of the Legiones Astartes with little or no support by regular naval forces across vast distances of void still in the grip of the Long Night. To this end, she was already gifted with high end performance sub light engines and it's main batteries were giga class lance arrays designed to control the range of engagement when committed against enemy vessel. A raider at heart, it's mischievous, stalking machine spirit enjoyed the hunt, a patient predator lurking in the dark of space. Both the vessels interior and the nature of the vessel's intended contingent of attack craft had to be adapted to Astartes physiology, which delayed it's active role in the Crusade up until the final liberation of the Solar System. A spear tipped, swift blade of near void black armour, it's gun emplacements, augury towers and command island were embellished in neogothical splendor, the artisan shipwrights of Saturn striving to create a vessel worthy of the Emperor's Angels of Death. Promising their enemy no mercy or respite aside from the hopeless gasping for air after being cast in the void, Asphyxia's Call had it's prow decorated with the scene of luckless sailors of the seas of old, struggling in the water around their sinking ship's hull, dragged below the surface by tentacled beasts of myth while an apparition of the Grim Reaper hovered above the waters, one hand displaying the scales of judgement, the other still outstretched, holding the scythe which had cleaved the ship in half. Cast and modeled from Adamatium, the scenic figurehead with it's knight sized tapestry was almost lovingly maintained by it's VIII th Legion masters, , it's replacements later cast from the soil of the Night Haunter's home itself and repaired over the Great Crusade, through the fires of the Heresy and the cold fury of the long war. The hellish scene would be perceived on the prow of Asphyxia's Call during the Gothic War and would persist up to the 13th Crusade, where the vessel, clad in midnight black, would again break from the void to wreak havoc upon the Imperium, witchfire and malefic lightning playing over a hull more and more changed to represent the predator machine spirit within, a true hunter from the abyss....

Nomus Sardauk Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 A little off topic here, but we should totally make a thread when Battlefleet Gothic: Armada comes out where we detail the history and stories of our warfleets and their most notorious vessels, like Xin did for the Asphyxia. I just really hope it has a fleet painter so we can customise them. EDIT: also, I thought of another Ship name, I don't know if it's been used or not but I checked both Lexicanum & the 40k wiki and found nothing so how about: Sins Of The Father.

Psykic_scribe Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Casualties and squished marines appear to be very popular in these last few weeks, vis Augustus, Elstonation and others. So I thought I would follow my significantly betters with my Night Lord Helbrute. Drawing inspiration from a classic poster of many years ago titled "LAST ACT OF DEFIANCE", that featured a mouse and eagle with the former giving the bird the "bird". Here is a work in progress photo: Hidden Content I resisted the temptation to remove the bolter for a digit. After all, this marine will be finished as a Knight of the Raven, far too much a gentleman. Please ignore the blu tak - there is still a long way to finish and I am still working hard on a real live move of county.

Knight of the Raven Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 After all, this marine will be finished as a Knight of the Raven, far too much a gentleman. Figures the first Knight of the Raven model I see on the internet would be about to die. Though he could technically kill the dreadnought with a headshot since it's stupid enough to leave its head unarmored, but then he'd get crushed by the falling behemoth.

Xin Ceithan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hmm, I always thought of Nostraman as a flowing, melodic language. I haven't heard these audios yet (loved Sev in Prince of Crows) and I don't want to step on any toes here, but "eastern european accent" feels to harsh to me. I think it suits Khârn btw, but it is too "Klingon" for my Imagination of Nostraman. Just my 2 pc.

Balthamal Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. By the time both of those take place the Terran's in the Legion are a dramatically reduced contingent so any comparison to the geographical locations of earth is a moot point. Plus have to remember they're speaking High Gothic/English which doesn't flow together as a language as well as some such as Mandarin/French which can also produce thick accents in English. Not withstanding the fact that there's likely dozens of dialects of Nostramon. Sevatar speaks it with a rough City's Edge ganger accent, much the same way Talos and Xarl would whereas Mercutian's accent is described as being more rounded and refined seeing as he was born to the city's ruling elite. Other Nostramans could be even more guttural or polished depending on their upbringing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285762-the-murderers-call-a-night-lords-community/page/114/#findComment-4329994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hehe. A whole Legion of people talking like Count Dracula. Cool. :P But ultimately irrelevant. I'm sure some will like it and some won't, but at the end of the day, everyone is responsible for their own take on the Legion.
