I've been working on some of the guys a bit more .. they are still rough right now and awaiting the mucking so there's not a ton of detail on them.. mainly just the basics. Next will be the muck and then moving on to the final detailing. It's funny how clean and white they look right now, soon to look very dirty. The Commander and Standard Bearer are one running one arm till I can get the sword and banner down up..

I also echo the others comments on the cloaks, very nice looking.

 

However, what I'm really waiting for is to hear, "Elvis has left the building..." :)

@ BKZero - Thanks! I paint red a lot so one of my prime painting colors haha

 

@ deathspectersgt7 - Thanks! I think it pops against the white armor 8)

 

@ Honda - Thanks man, haha.. well Elvis is getting his coat on and is getting closer to being finished up 8)

 

I started inking a bunch of guys and wanted to get two of the Terminators I needed to update done first..  I also wrote up a little something for them .. 

 

Rictor Grell

WG2041.JPG

 

Rictor Grell stood on the forest edge looking down on what was left of Vastall. Burnt habs in various stages of ruin, fire still raged in most of the city pushing back the shadows of night. Twisted metal hulks of machinery and vehicles were scattered throughout the the rubble of the razed city. Grell had been tracking a squad of gene fail traitors for the past forty hours and it looks like they had returned to their hole. He had no idea how long the warband had been here but it appeared they were the ones that had caused the destruction below. Human remains could be seen impaled on spikes though out the town. They were in various stages of decomposition but all were terrible and all were missing their heads. He snorted and shook his head, “skulls for the skull throne” he thought. How far you have sank, look at what you have become.

 

Like him they were once War Hounds, Legion of the Emperor without a Primarch. The day their Primogenitor was found was supposed to be a great day for the chapter. But for some it was a curse, Angron was little more than a bloodthirsty beast. His first act as their leader was killing many of their respected brothers, brothers that were in effect his sons. After realizing what it meant to be a Primarch and their leader he renamed them World Eaters. That was the least of the insults they would endure, he also wanted them to get the same psy implants he was forced to receive. Some such as Khârn saw those as a blessing but many saw them for what they were, a curse. Devolving them into base killing machines like Angron. A group of high level hounds falsified the reports of the implant insertion and reorganized companies to group up with like minded individuals. This was a boon up until Isstvan III when most of those that apposed Angron's beliefs were sent to die. Phor Grell, a first loyal was one of them and he was sent down to be eliminated. But the traitors underestimated the loyalists resolve and paid a heavy toll.

 

Rictor tried to shake off old memories, they were his and also not his, and sometimes it could be difficult. He was coming up on his seven hundredth year of life but his gene-seed’s life was much older. He was lucky enough to receive the gene-seed of the first loyal Phor Grell, one of those that stayed true to the Emperor and preferred death to betrayal. The honored dead of Isstvan III. An underground facility was discovered below the Governoral palace and the Apothecaries cobbled together a storage system to preserve what little gene-seed they could salvage. Every bit of gene material that could be retrieved was extracted and stored, if they would escape this world it would be needed to rebuild. Before the final bombardment many took refuge in the facility to wait out the Armageddon. It was there one hundred meters underground that the Dusk Wolves were born. In the future when a brother’s service ended and he joined the Emperor in death his gene-seed would be passed on. The inheritor would take his benefactors surname his mantle as well as his genetic materials. Like many chapters their gene-seed did suffer some mutation, the sense of betrayal and the strife of brother battling brother emanates through them and stored memories and feelings of past inheritors are passed on. The living breathing brother is an amalgam of all those that have passed before starting with the first.

 

Rictor finally shook himself free of the past, now was not the time. He had work to do, vengeance to exact. Again he looked down on Vastall and spotted movement. Three forms moved in front of a raging fire on the edge of town, Rictor’s optics zoomed in and enhanced. One of the forms had moved off but the other two were pulling skulls from a pile of ravaged bodies. “Move in, leaving none alive. End their future, no gene-seed survives.” he radioed to the other Wolves in the woods. He didn't wait for a response, there was none needed. He sprang from the cover of the forest storming toward the ruined town, Terminator armour was larger than power armour and normally encumbered its wearer. Not Grell, he was one with his armour and he bore down on the two figures at breakneck speed. He wasn't slowed but he couldn't stop the sound of his heavy boots thundering over the ground. With an electric crackle his lightning claws blazed into life emanating a red ruddy glow. His quarry turned as he approached their chainaxes and pistols already in hand. No matter how far they had sank into depravity they were still Space Marines and they were ready. But ready or not, they were going to die. Nothing could stop that now.
 
Ven Brant

Precision with a scalpel was expected but with a sledgehammer? Ven stood on the ridge watching his squad pummel the traitors into the dust. Word Bearers, or whatever they had become, were pouring out of the smoking hulk that was once their perverted Land Raider. It saddened him greatly to what had become of that once sacred machine. They had released it's tortured machine spirit with missile and Las, one devastating salvo was all it took. His men did not miss. And now the traitor's perverted forms were rushing head long at his squad, he watched as they fell one by one. Bodies being vaporized or exploding as a missile's warhead penetrated armor and detonated. They hoped to close on the heavy weapon squad thinking combat a better choice, they were sorely mistaken. Ven started to move forward, his storm bolter barking adding to the weight of fire. Only two traitors would make it past the heavy weapon fire but there would be no reprieve. He broke into a run moving to intercept, the Word Bearers saw him advancing and began to spread out but Ven's targeter was already locked on to the one on the right. Missiles tore out of the cyclone launcher and connected with the Word Bearer's chest cracking him open like an egg. "You are alone, in this world and the next." Ven said as he closed with the sole survivor, purplish energy blazing into life from his left fist. It was over in seconds, Ven accepted the hit from his opponent trusting in his armor to turn aside the blow. Instead he twist forward locking his opponents sword arm with his right while dropping his Stormbolter. The Word Bearer tried to bring his pistol up but it was too late for that, Ven's fist was already moving forward. One strike, one kill. Precision.

@ deathspectersgt7 - thanks! 

 

@ Bio - thanks man... yeah I've been wanting to actually get some work done on them and have been having fun with them. I have to figure out what I'm going to add in next..

 

@ MagicMan - Thanks, I wanted something to pop on them and I think the Reds really do it 8) Everything else being so dingy and all ..

 

@ Lord Commander - Thanks, I wanted them to have that dirty worn look so glad it's pulling it off 8)

 

@ Bro Castiel - Awesome, thanks for the high praise... 8)

 

@ Squeaky - Thank ya, Sure .. I primed them white, I used Vallejo Air (VAC) Scarlet red, VGC Bloody Red, VGC  Gore Red, Daler Rowney Red and Black Ink. I started near the hand and worked out toward the tip wet blending to black.  Hope that helps! 

 

Last night I got a little more work done on the other Rhino/Razorbacks I was working on.. mainly just applied the first oil wash and letting it dry.. They still need a good bit of work, clean up, details and some the one needs some more weathering powder added to the exhaust stacks..  They are coming along though 8)

Washed the next four guys inline for completion .. 

DSC_0011.JPG

They need to be cleaned up and then I can start on the details 8) .. I'm really hoping it's the missing arms and BPs that are making the FW guys look so small..  I know they are a little but in this picture the FW guys look so diminutive. haha

A little more progress on the boys ..  the commander is 100% together .. now I'll need to dirty up his left arm and BP ..

The Tact Standard Bearer with his banner getting some work,. The banner is removable so I can keep track in game of when they use their banner ..  The banner needs some metalic work and he still needs to be cleaned and detailed up.. 

DSC_0008.JPG

 

"Elvis" is also coming along .. he also needs some cleaning and then details..

DSC_0009.JPG

 

The last thing I've been working on is their banners.. So far it's a mix of airbrush and free hand, I'm going to write the name of battles they've taken place in down the center, I just have to figure out some good Loyal / Traitor battles that they would fit in..  8)  It's a little hard to see but the founding Legions numbers are in each of the four corners. Debating in going over them in whiet to make them stand out a little more .. or maybe the parchment color of the center section..
