SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Welcome Brothers to the Dolourus Crusade. The Crusade started only recently and due to difficulties in the warp has yet to see combat. The Initiates, Neophytes and even the Sword Brothers and Command Staff all require extensive repairs to armour, body and faith. Every vehicle has suffered structural damage and all will require much attention. Personnel and armoury files will be uploaded as and when they are declared fit for the Emperors service. A full list of Crusade personnel and equipment is bellow:Astartes Stike Cruiser - 'Lucem Imperator' (Light of the Supreme Ruler)Master Marshal - 'Dolourus'Chaplain - 'Grimaldus' Chaplain - 'Kippeon' The Emperors Champion Master of the Forge - 'Canemich'Reclusium Command SquadTactical Terminator SquadCrusader Squad - SB, 9 Initiates, 3 Neophytes in Landraider Crusader - 'Liberatus Est' (The Deliverer) Crusader Squad - SB, 9 Initiates in Rhino - 'Contego Sigismund' (The shield of Sigismund)Crusader Squad - 5 Initiates, 1 Neophyte in Razorback with TLLC - 'Scindus Eminous' (Cut from a distance)Crusader Squad - 5 Initiates, 1 Neophyte in Razorback with TLLC - 'Agito Astartes' (Conveyor of Astartes) Assault Squad - SB, 4 Initiates Landraider - 'Loduldos Ignis' (Loduldos' Lightning)Storm Raven - 'Volaticus Dorn' (Winged deliverer of Dorn)Vindicator - 'Ira Imperium' (The Wrath of the Imperium)Predator Executioner - 'Exuro Hereticus' (Burn Heretics) Storm Talon - 'Veloce Mortem' (Swift Death) Imperial Knight - 'Militus Letum' (Knight of Death) It is rumoured that Imperial Guard forces are conducting a fighting retreat back to the main Hive City, Super Heavy Baneblade and Stormlord Tanks have been deployed and several Imperial Knights have made planetfall.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 The Emperors Champion has had his armour ritually removed and his weapons blessed, both have been placed in the care of our honoured brethren of the armoury for painting and repairing. The Storm Raven "Volaticus Dorn" has been visited by our glorious Master of the Forge and his servitors. The repairs will begin shortly and, by the grace of the Emperor, will be complete before 3 584 014.M03 as Vowed for ETL III. The Emperor Protects.

I came on another matter my Lord. The modifications to the venerable 'Ira Imperium'. The machine spirit is at peace, Lord, I will complete them before we make planetfall."

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 "Brother Dolourus, Well met." Marshal Dolourus bowed his head in respect to the legend that had set foot upon his vessel, "My Lord Grimaldus! The Emperor truly smiles on us this day. Welcome to my Flagship, Lucem Imperator " Grimaldus paused for less than a second. "The Light of the Supreme Ruler, an ancient earth dialect from the Romanar penincula, pre M3, if I am correct" Dolourus raised his head, impressed at the knowledge imparted by his honoured guest. "That's correct Lord, for over five thousand years has this venerable ship illuminated the darkest corners the galaxy." "Then let us be rid of this Warp Storm and once again bring His light to those in need." Grimaldus strode out of the hangar, Dolourus at his side. Every member of the Crusade had been present when the Chaplain had arrived, all of them felt the ZEAL in their hearts burn brighter as Grimaldus turned and slowly walked back into the hangar. "Make ready Brothers, look to your wargear, recite, OUR, Litanies of War. The foul Xenos race of the Necrontyr have dared to rise on one of His, worlds. I, Grimaldus, join you this day, The Dolourus Crusade, WILL, cleanse these abominations. IN HIS NAME I SWEAR IT." "FOR SIGISMUND, FOR DORN. FOR THE EMPEROR, WE GO TO WAR." He felt himself swept up in the euforia, before he new it he was shouting and clashing his fist on his breast along with his troops, repeating the same phrase, in perfect unison, the Zeal growing to almost uncontrollable levels. " NO PITY, NO FEAR, NO REMORSE. NO PITY, NO FEAR, NO REMORSE." Behind his skull mask, Gimaldus smiled. His heart swelled to see the zealous fury of his Battle Brothers in full song. "Let them rise." he thought, "For in the Emperors name, we shall make them fall." ***** Apologies Brother Honda, I forgot to make them red. Mistake rectified. ***** Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/#findComment-3705112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I am slowly naming all of the vehicles and characters in my Crusade, the first post will list them all as I complete the task.

General Disarray Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Excellent work Brother. I look forward to seeing the righteous Imperial hatred being brought to bear on the xenos, heretic and daemon for the glory of the Primarch and the Emperor. I plan on naming all of my Templars and vehicles (whenever I get any) as well. Vehicles look cool with their names on them but for the Templars I think I'll just put name tags on the underside of the bases as I've never been a fan of writing the names on the edge of the bases, that never looks right to me. How are you planning on keep track of the names? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/#findComment-3705198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 A good question Brother, I had not thought of that. The vehicles will be as you have said, Written on the flanks or the roof. The characters? I will have to think on that, banners possibly. Not sure. Any idea's anyone?

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Picture the scene... Its dark, an eerie green light is bliking, a low red light is illuminating a huge contraption at the back of a hanger on a starship. Five figures in huge Tactical Dreadnought armour stamp into the hangar, their black armour reflecting the green pulsing light, They stop in as they enter, turn to a shrine in a wall and in unison drop to a knee. They rise as one and ascend the steps onto the ancient machine. They raise their weapons towards the ceiling and as a low hum that you did not realise was there, becomes a scream.... Cut to a scene on a battlefield as 5 Black Templar Terminators fight alone in a sea of Tyranids. Surrounded but the enemy, but not daunted, never waivering. Now picture it while this piece of music is playing. As the music dies, a glow appears in the heavens and the ground rips as massive munitions explode ripping huge holes in the swarm, followed by hundreds of Drop pods raining down on to the planet. Cut to a Terminator standing before the steaming carcass of a Carnifex. He looks up and raises his Thunder Hammer, inviting the rest of his Crusade onto the battlefield. Hot damn I need a game.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Brothers, after a turbulent return to normal space, my articifers have completed repairs on our most Holy Relic. The "Templar Blade". It is a four bladed mace based on a drawing found of a weapon used by the Knights Templar before M2. Pictures to follow as soon as I can find the memory card for my camera. It seem to have been mislaid by an acolyte. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/#findComment-3721378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 My acolyte found me a new card. So without further ado, welcome Brothers to the "Templar Blade", The Dolourus Crusades Relic Blade. So, Brothers a question, with or with out the cross bits? Cross bits No cross bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290799-the-dolourus-crusade/#findComment-3724638 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thank you Brothers, the "Templar Blade" be adorned with Templar crosses, as befits its Relic Status.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Brothers, the first attempt at the Predator Executioner Turrert is prepared.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I look forward to immolating many heretics with Plasma fire. I know I should be concentrating on my vow, but the turret was an itch I needed to scratch. Here is a pic of the Turret on a Predator chassis.

SnorriSnorrison Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thank you Brothers, the "Templar Blade" be adorned with Templar crosses, as befits its Relic Status. Going to decorate the shaft of the weapon, not sure with what yet though. You could wrap some thin green stuff band around the shaft and make it look like a purity seal! Cool predator. So can marines now use plasma turrets on predators, or is that a FW variant?

Where did you get the plasma cannons from? A stormraven? Yep they are from the Storm raven. The first post in the thread shows how I planned it. I think it turned out almost exactly as planned.

Brother Christopher Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I kinda got worried that I'm blind and made a fool out of myself! :) Great stuff! I might 'borrow' your idea one day, when I'll finally get a proper stormraven and be left with spares.
