WarriorFish Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Well done scats, a productive evening :tu: The old school Stormies are great so it's always good to see them painted up nicely :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289182-the-cadian-171st-regiment-wip-full-regiment-shoot-p7/page/9/#findComment-3970557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks both! Was my first ever stormy and I enjoyed it. The sniper is having his cloak amended though as the base green wasn't dark enough and the camo dots were too small. Will be done today though.

scatmandoo Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Regiment History, The glorious Cadian 171st Regiment had originally been involved in fighting in the Ultima Segmentum against the Tyranid threat found in Hive fleet Kraken. Unfortunately despite some heroic actions they were wiped out to the man. The bells rang on Cadia and the Regiment was disbanded into history.Once the Threat of Hive Fleet Leviathan and the Ork incursion of the Forsarr sector had become apparent in the Segmentum Tempestus the High Lords decided to raise another regiment from Cadia.Then arrived the newly formed Regiment to the sector and as with any new regiment, they have been given very few combat veterans, new kit or supplies. However they do have plenty of hand me down should be scrapped vehicles and weapons, and more than enough ‘green’ troopers. Led into battle by Colonel Anders Gunderson, an officer school veteran held in high regard by even Lord Creed! How the regiment fares will be decided on how Colonel Anders bonds his men into a efficient fighting force while dealing with the odd mission from a couple of mysterious Inquisitors nearby. Early records of the company have indicated that they will soon swiftly become a highly regarded force due to some successful encounters against both Orks and even some traitor marines. they are being reinforced by some Tempestus scions and Ogryn to bolster their numbers to aid their fighting skills. One skill they have found is in acquiring Plasma, be it in hand held pistols and assault rifles, Plasma cannon armoured Sentinels or even a rare Leman Russ Executioner. How they are doing this is baffling any observers but on more than one occasion the hierarchy have been heard saying "It's not always what you know, it's who you know"! previous update The 171st have been involved heavily with fighting in the Forsarr sector. Due to losses and the environment the Rgt currently find themselves, they have been adapting their structure to resemble more of an Armoured make up with more focus on mobility.This has raised eyebrows to observers as they seem to have been resupplied with "new" vehicles to aid their fight.While a mystery to others, it is fact a Regiment secret as they have been fighting on behalf of an un-named, unknown Inquisitor who has led the fight to a long abandoned Imperium storage facility. It has only been possible to a short break in the Warp storms around the planet which consumed the life of all the inhabitants.Recently they have been taking on a Space marine force that had gone rogue, and had been following their own agenda and not that of the Imperium. A couple of splinter Tyranid fleet forces had been encountered too. The Force from my studies have been enhancing their tactics and are looking very competent considering when they were formed. Little Update for now, The 171st have been reacting to some minor Ork incursions, but have now been tasked with the utmost priority To Aid the PDF and fight off the Ork Waagh heading and already causing problems on Dalea VII. This planet is of extreme importance to the Imperium due to primarily its Promethium and other minor exports due to its mineral rich core. (look at my battle report thread for more updates on a narrative campaign I am involved in) This battle will be a test to the fledgling regiment but reports indicate a good chance of success. It seems as though they keep striking gold with the reinforcements they keep managing to get/find. Only time will tell if this will continue or if their 'Luck' will run out. Presenting Master Aircrew Clive Foley Formally a Door Gunner on Valkyrie or occasionally Vendetta aircraft when required. He has now found a new role as a Expert Sniper and an asset to Lord General Gunders Anderson and the Officers under his command in the 171st. Throughout his training he was always known to be a 'good' shot, but it was during an attack on Orks in the Forrsarr sector and later against Tyranids that it was noticed that the gunfire from the door he occupied was not only more accurate, it used less ammo in the process. Win Win for the regiment. All was well until a Valkyrie he was travelling in at the time, crash landed due to enemy gunfire and his beloved Heavy Bolter was damaged in the crash. The Valkyrie had been outfitted to drop a Spec Ops Sniper Recon squad into enemy lines. Due to the Crash, both pilots and some of the Recon team were killed and that is when Clive got Hold of the Sniper rifle that he has since never given up. Due to his and the recon teams efforts they were able to hold off the Greenskins until a rescue team managed to get them. Ever since he has been an example of accurate shooting and has been given special dispensation to hold his rank. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150307_163235.jpg And Trooper Deeny Symone This trooper is a new addition to the 171st. He is part of a new experimental section where the the best from across the regiment showing natural tendencies in covert ops can be used to the best of their abilities in said skills. Due to how small this section is because of its infancy, he is actually a former Stormtrooper trained in the Schola Progenium. He and 5 other troopers have been given the dual role of tutors and operatives and had the positions offered to them after proving to be a great asset to the Inquisitor Onyx Farquoa who has a great interest in the Regiment. What this means for the future no-one knows, but with an Inquisitor involved, It probably means trouble for all involved. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150307_163403.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289182-the-cadian-171st-regiment-wip-full-regiment-shoot-p7/page/9/#findComment-3970929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Very good scats, I like the write ups too.

scatmandoo Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Very good scats, I like the write ups too. I take it this means we can expect more Stormies in the future? ;) Well I have the rest of the old school stormy squad (5xtroopers) to paint and some converted half scion with a left over scion sprue I acquired. I have created a SGT and a hot shot volley trooper with the parts so far.

elmo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 That is why there is a Commissariat tag-team.

scatmandoo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 No painting of the storm troopers but I have been paying attention to the officers and NCO's of the army..... First up are some Senior officers. One definitely looks like Dick Strawbridge too... http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150316_220823.jpg Next up are a pompous junior officer and a couple sgts.

scatmandoo Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Great news!! Progress has been made on the Baneblade and to help with the vast quantity of plastic needing a coat, the local toy store were selling their Tamiya spray paint off cheap. I sprayed it brown first, then applied some masking tape and then went with the green. I'm happy and it gives me a better base to work from than the blue that it was. Here are some pics and comments and suggestions welcome. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20141112_110540_1.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_203646.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_203656.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_205257.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_205257.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_210135.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/geekery/20150516_210144.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289182-the-cadian-171st-regiment-wip-full-regiment-shoot-p7/page/9/#findComment-4044984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
