Kilofix Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Good to see a Taurox in, hopefully we can get the whole gamut of transports pledged - still waiting for that Stormlord though I, WarriorFish of the 144th Arukan, do hereby vow to complete one Chimera (from Codex: Astra Militarum Imperial Guard) for the Regiments of the B&C: Treads and Thrusters by September 27th, for the honour of the Emperor and regiment. No threads or thrusters but hopefully acceptable. Imitating Mustachio and gave it wheels. Also didn't like the 'hot rod' engine piping so left it off.

WarriorFish Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Who needs French anyway, you're never going to France right? We're up to 10 recruits already, let's see who leads for the first completion - will it be a returning veteran's experience or a fresh recruit to show us how it's done? :D Don't forget to put one of the participation banners into your sig if you have room to spread the word :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/2/#findComment-3781156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviar Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I haven't missed a single Guard painting challenge since the subforums founding, why start a bad habbit now I Sviar vow to paint a Vendetta if I find my Lascannons. Otherwise I'll paint a Valkyrie. Here is my starting picture. Those who submitted their army write-up in All For One are requested to submit it again (by all means expand upon it).Those who earned ranks (lance corporal, corporal and sergeant) in the previous challenge will be promoted further via completions in Treads and Thrusters. Well my Sviar worlds was well elaborated. But I will write up an airforce section, if I however have som time left I could try to write about a small city on Sviar 1, as an expansion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/2/#findComment-3785029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Good to see you back Sviar :D As for the regimental background you don't have to add any more if you've already done it, even more so as you've already post up a lot. Just make sure to re-enter it with your Vendetta completion so you can gain the full Sergeant rank for the Treads and Thrusters challenge :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/2/#findComment-3785047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Welcome aboard Raven, great to see a new face :D Painting challenges are easy enough; they're simple things and this one has no competitive element so there couldn't be a better introduction :) All you've got to do is meet the deadlines - if you have any questions please let me know :tu: They can be addictive though especially when you start gathering awards for your sig - which I notice is empty and waiting to be filled ;) I'll be keeping an eye out for your progress so I can learn about your forlorn Guard regiment :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295292-regiments-of-the-bc-treads-thrusters/page/2/#findComment-3785525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Good to see so many flyers as well as ground vehicles (and I'm glad to see a Taurox!). The quartermaster has plenty of medals for those who fulfill the Departmento Munitorum's Orders. Similarly your two commissars have plenty of bolt shells for those who fail.

WarriorFish Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 But we'll have no failures, right? Just had word the new regimental armour is on a transport ship heading to Arukan Prime!

WarriorFish Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well I didn't squeal like a girl, rather I stood solemnly staring out of the window, Commissar's overcoat billowing in the wind and said in a gruff voice: "I must go, the Regiment needs me". There may have been explosions in the background, weeping women and children and also a couple of fireworks. Or I just closed my emails and did some house keeping. The World may never know the true events of that day.

Kilofix Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 “40 meters from the OP boss,” reported Staff Sergeant Xobs as he eased the motive controls back, slowing the Taurox to a crawl. “Why do we always get stuck with these suicide assignments?” complained Sergeant Gilford from the rear of the crew compartment. “What are you talking about? This is what we signed up for. Sneak and peak, first in, last out. Besides, we’ve got disruptive camo, our engines are baffled and thermal recyclers are running. We have no signature. Nobody knows we’re here,” retorted Sergeant Marko. “First to buy it more like. Somehow, I don’t think our quarry needs eyes or ears,” replied Gilford. “Shut it, we’re Operators. Act like Operators,” snarled Warrant Officer Plaeko as he moved up to the observation cupola. “Primary target confirmed boss. Doesn’t look like he’s trying to hide at all. Also, looks like at least a twenty cultists down there with him. And….and I think I saw Daemons,” whispered First Sergeant Cable manning the Omniscope. “I say we call in the Deathstrike and run BDA from here,” suggested Sergeant Alecki. “Negative, you know our orders,” snapped Plaeko picking up the Vox. “This,…. is supposed to be a meet and greet”. +++ Ref: Ordo Hereticus: Investigation / 982347 / HV+++ ++ Addendum ++ ++ + Inquisitor Kilo’s current retinue is estimated to consist of: + + 10 Catachan Acolytes – assumed to have been hand-selected by the Inquisitor himself + + 10 Krieg Grenadier Veterans - remnants from his Vraks assignment + + 25 Militarium Tempestus seconded from Calixis Sector + + 6 Crusaders from the Order of Morn + + Magos JB-1911 and his Servitor contingent + + Various supporting vehicles to include at least one Land Raider and one Vulture + ++ + Unconfirmed reports also suggest an unknown number of Psykers, Assassins and / or Knight Titans may be aiding the Inquisitor – Ref: Significant Threat / 762528 / XB ++ + Anomalies were detected during Inquisitor Kilo’s latest Psychic Screening that may suggest duplicity -Ref: Possible Chaos Possession / 21349 / NS – Ref: Possible Xenos Affiliation / 91321 / DE ++ + The Ordo Hereticus’ current recommendation is that Inquisitor Kilo be kept under close surveillance, and the uncovering of his nature and allegiance be a matter of priority + + As a precautionary measure, Inquisitor Kilo’s death warrant has been issued, but a stay of execution will be imposed until such time that Inquisitor Kilo outlives his usefulness to our bless’d Imperium + ++ + Thought for the day: “+++194+21++ corr+++ fas est et ab hoste doceri ++ 145+199++” + “Behind every enemy is another that is greater in capacity and more capable.

Edit - Formatting The following is my previous army background (my stories come together later): +++++Transmitted From: Cadian 15th Regiment 20th Company+++++++++++++Received: Astropath Dinum++++++++++Destination: Departmento Munitorium Branch Obs-221xiv++++++Telepathic Duct: Terminus Missive++++++++++++++++++Ref: SR/m/71831/dg+++++++++++++++Author: Ministorium Priest Eslaf on behalf of Commander Yresim+++++++++++++++++Date: 0810 - 0071831.M41 In response to your request for status: As of 0200 - 0069831.M41 the Cadian 15th Regiment 20th Company aboard the strike cruiser Only In Death have translation back into realspace. This constitutes a delay of 19 standard years due to currently indeterminate warp anomalies. Our previous orders from 811.M41 to rearm and reconstitute at the Departmento Munitorium Armory within the Secarus Sector are complete. Our current strength stands at 3 full Platoons, including heavy weapons and Sapper Squads; though previous exposure to hazardous environments have necessitated ongoing use of breathing apparatus by some of our personnel. Our company has otherwise also been reinforced by 5 Leman Russes, 6 Chimeras, 2 Hellhounds, various artillery vehicles including Bombards and Manticores, a StormLord, air support in the form of Valkyries, Vendettas, Vultures and other auxiliary units. Our current orders are to link up and consolidate with the remnants of the Krieg 19th Regiment 88th Siege Army, rendezvous with Battlefleet Cobalt, and then be subsumed into the Cadian 412th. We will continue to maintain our current tan and olive disruptive pattern scheme and Lernaean Dragon unit insignia until such time that our parent Regiment dictates differently. Rest assured that the entirety of our Company is now made up of veterans from several previous major conflicts that should no doubt be an advantage for the future. Furthermore, it should also be noted that, as it stands on record, none of our current Company’s members have ever fled from any engagements with Chaos forces despite incidents of horrific losses incurred by adjoining allies. Our specific areas of competence include close protection of HQ personnel and VIPs, local information gathering in support of strategic planning, escort of key assets and resources (to include Grade – Alpha munitions), setup of early warning security and population assurance. In all of these endeavors, we will continue to serve the Imperium with unwavering loyalty, exceptional operational capability and unprecedented cunning. The corpse Emperor guide you.
