One-eye Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Heresy Era White Scars "Foe unvanquished, I won't perish in the field ;I'll be born again, to take up the guandao seven more times." White Scars Legion oath of the moment Campaign : Battle of TerraLegion : V - White ScarsCompany : 24th - Brotherhood of the IrbisPraetor : Hulagu Khan+++ Processing archive search +++ +++ Trophy 257B74A56641Z + Displayed Quan Zhou Palace - wall Q6A1 - Area Z56B9 +++ +++ Provider : legionary Omgan – Brotherhood of the Irbis (24th company) – Tactical Squad Pardus +++ +++ After many months drooling in front of my screen seeing so much beautiful threads, I decided to succumb to the 30k and HH whispers in my head.Part of the ship part of the crew !I explained the very difficult process - for me - of choosing a Legion in the HH sub-forum. Finally I chose the White Scars, for the occasion to participate in the siege of Terra and for the tremendous possibilities modelling-wise. I’m fond of military history, in particular the Mongol conquests, so expect references. BCK thread of inspiration for them has proven more than useful, thanks for that mate !I had also a look on Hyrkanians from Conan, and will pick-up Chinese and Japanese influences.We've got time before FW releases the book concerning this Legion, and even more for minis, so I'll have to improvise .

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Great start brother. mkiii for scars though? Didn't think they were that keen on heavy assault?

oldschoolsavant Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nice to see the brutality in line with Heresy Wolves and Eaters. Going with the red trim, or pure white ? Used to be pure white during the HH, but years of confused fluff writing and retcons a-go-go have seen that flipped round. Keeping an eye on this.

One-eye Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nice to see the brutality in line with Heresy Wolves and Eaters. Going with the red trim, or pure white ? Used to be pure white during the HH, but years of confused fluff writing and retcons a-go-go have seen that flipped round. Keeping an eye on this. I will try to show some brutality, as much as loyalists permit. After all, in such a desperate time like the siege of Terra might have been, facing traitors on the walls of the Emperor's palace, the inner savagery of WS should have made appearances. And Genghis Khan was the master of using fear at war... I will not go on a field dedicated to NL, but on the loyalist side, I see them as the most inclined to that kind of warfare. I will try not to go too far, and above all avoid mindless violence. I see them more as using it as part of their toolbox, in a thoughtful manner. For the minis I'll probably avoid red trims, to differentiate them with 40k WS. Maybe some bronze or golden trim, if not too unfluffy ? Great start brother. mkiii for scars though? Didn't think they were that keen on heavy assault? The squads will have miwed Mk, and I like Mk III too much to avoid them There won't be any bikers for the moment either. Eventually jetbikes.

Pyromancer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nice model, I look forward to seeing some paint. White Scars might end up being my second legion someday...

Russ Brother 92 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very nice, glad to see some Scars on here...

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I hear you, mkiii is by far the best looking armour. As for Jetbikes, will you be getting the legion scimitar ones or making your own "bullock" pattern from the DA ravenwing model? Someone on here has already done a conversion that looks very tasty Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285942-only-victory-is-honourable-white-scars-siege-of-terra/#findComment-3576232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 He looks great. Not a fan of the daemonette head, though. Would've preferred some scalped traitor. The more Heresy-era WS the better. Bring on the V, baby!

SteelPaladin Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This is awesome. The White Scars are so very badass, and there are so few WS armies around. I fell in love with the V Legion after reading Brotherhood of the Storm. Watching this for sure!

Noserenda Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Awesome start :D You make me want to revamp my Battle for Earth Scars :D (But ive sworn to wait for their book to save mayhem). On the Red trim, its been confused over the years but what eventually tipped me over was the fact that they tend to look better with Red on them ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285942-only-victory-is-honourable-white-scars-siege-of-terra/#findComment-3576582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koriel Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You sir, do the Vth legion justice. I'm loving the pose and the gs work and the top knot makes him look suitably Scar-ish. Keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see some paint on them soon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285942-only-victory-is-honourable-white-scars-siege-of-terra/#findComment-3576612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of your painting and modeling style, and I'm super-psyched that you've picked up the heresy gauntlet. I'll be watching this with heavy interest, good sir.
