Commissar Olga Kurganova

Heroine of the Commissariat

711th Cadian Combined Arms Brigade

Olga Kurganova was born the daughter of Captain Ruan Kurganova and his wife, Anna. Her family where killed during a Xenos attack and she survived due to the favour of The God Emperor and was enrolled in the Schola Progenium where she excelled and was recommended for service in the Officio Prefectus as a Commissar Cadet under Commissar Ralgar and was tested and tempered during her time there. She was promoted to Junior Commissar and posted to the first of her Cadian units, the 97th Armoured.

During her time in the 97th she was forced to make only 15 summary executions, partly due to her exemplary leadership style, her morale raising speeches and the respect she was held in by the platoon senior NCOs and Regimental staff.

Leading from the front as usual during an assault on the same Xenos who killed her parents she took a shell splinter in her eye but continued to fight, motivating her troops to fight harder by her example. After the battle she resisted attempts to give her an augmentic eye and took to wearing an almost piratical looking eye patch to cover her now sightless orb.

On gaining the rank of full Commissar she was transferred to the command staff of the 897th Infantry Battalion where she is currently responsible for morale and discipline.

During the Battle of Ridge 582 North, Commissar Kurganova was thrust into the thick of the battle in the command Chimera "Emperors Grace" when the orks, seeing the large antenna array which identified the Chimera command variant made a concerted attempt to destroy it. Commissar Kurganova took the initiative after the wounding of Colonel Manchier during a particularly determined attempt by a group of orks on the chimera and, throwing open the crew hatch, fired her bolt pistol into the hideous green faces surrounding the vehicle while shouting out words of encouragement to the guardsmen...

"The Emperor is watching you, Guardsmen of the 897th! Do not fail him in this holy duty.

Do honour to your colleagues, your Regiment and your world.

Stand firm men of Cadia! Kill the Xenos!"

The sight of her standing tall in the Chimera with a glint of holy retribution in her one remaining eye, bolt gun blazing and chainsword revving, spraying green blood and globules of flesh from it's rotating teeth, drove the men of the 897th into a fury that even the orks could not face.

Guardsman Si Nadal

897th Infantry Battalion

711th Cadian Combined Arms Brigade

Guardsman Si Nadal's background is common to all members of the Cadian Forces. At age 16 he joined the Whiteshields and after surviving 2 hard years he was promoted to the rank of Guardsman and transferred to the 897th Infantry Battalion as a battlefield replacement after the losses infliced on the Battalion at the Battle of Prester Myra. He joined Squad 190, commanded by the grizzled Sgt "Ginger" Ersk, and was quickly given the position of the squad grenadier as he showed a great affinity to the Grenade Launcher.

He was present during the Battle of Ridge 582 North and was heavily committed to the fighting, using a mixture of Frag and Krak grenades on the Orks to great effect. He was witness to the battle that rolled around the Baneblade "Imperator" and was heard to say that "It was one of the best frakkin' things I have ever seen."

Far Magnus the Wrathful

Before taking the title “Wrathful”, the monk Magnus was a peaceful shrine-keeper in the wilds of Negrobi, the first planet in the Sumatari System.

The life out on the plains was full of hardships, even for the anchorite. Daily chores involved finding something to eat and a plentiful water source. Luckily, the Shrine to the Weapon Interred had both; giant, venomous Great Beetles- and the things that hunted them- for game and the only fresh water spring for kilometres. Other tasks required of Magnus were blessings of the interred weapon, daily close combat drills, and the reading of the Magnum Sumatari, the most holy text in the Sumatari System, detailing the life and death of Saint Melker the Scribe and his part in the events that surrounded the Brothers’ War thousands of years ago.

The day Magnus took his title, it was a day the sky should have rained blood. Cultists and a lone Arch-Enemy appeared around the shrine and demanded the monk kneel before their debased, pestilent god of disease or they would kill him in a most gruesome fashion. But first, they were to debase the shrine with raucous laughter and much joy. As the once-marine placed his foot at the base of the shrine, a spark exploded in Magnus’ head. That was all it took for the anchorite to snap- the devils were literally at his doorstep and he had to act.

Praying for righteous action and furious anger, the monk recalled his decades of combat practice. The Saint and the Emperor must have heard his hoarse calling because he did not martyr himself that day. Instead, he set the bar for the next shrine-holders of Negrobi by ripping the head from the Traitor Space Marine single-handedly. The Cultists fled but Magnus knew they would be back, and in numbers hard to count. The time had drawn nigh for the object of the shrine had to be awakened- its planet needed it once more.

With great reverence, Magnus said the prayers of awakening as he released the power couplings from the eviscerator. At the same time, Cultists were making their way behind his back, rusted knives dripping with poison to be the monk’s reward for killing their master. A great, cracking sound and force threw the assassins to the ground. Enoksstorsverd, the holy weapon, was free, and to all who beheld it that day, death followed quickly.

The monk was reborn in the blood of traitors. Calling himself Far Magnus the Wrathful, he vowed himself take pilgrimage and slaughter all forces against Saint Melker and the Emperor on Terra until the day he is martyred for their cause.

Løytnant Orjan Hroarrson

Company duelist and marksman, Løytnant Orjan Hroarrson has served with the Ostheim 93rd, 7th Company for decades in an officer role with the 1st Platoon. It comes with great honour to be selected for service in his platoon because as long as his troopers do their best, he gives the best. Spirits, tabac, over-charged power cells- nothing is too good for his troopers. On the field of battle, he is ever the wolf, dogging his opponents until they tire and then setting his jaws upon them. Off the field, he is a gracious and kind man; ever popular with ladies from several planets. If his honour is broached or if it is just for sport, Hroarrson leaves his kindness off the dueling range. Apt with bolt pistol and thrusting sword, nary is the man that can boast a winning bout.

Astra Ministorum


"There are those who raise their voices in anguish and sorrow for the plight of Mankind.


Such faithless folk wail of an end to all days, of a final damnation for us all.


I say to you, these fools are wrong!


Liars, I name them, heretics and sayers of doom.


Listen not to such heathens my brothers, for those are glorious days.


Rejoice, for all may stand and fight for a truly righteous cause and any man


- no matter how humble -


can earn everlasting glory through martyrdom in the Emperor's sight."


Confessor Huldwyn prior to the Battle of  Ridge 582 North

What a cool thread.

This was my first ETL and it was a great experience.  A real credit to the organisers.

I hope I'll have time to do a bit more next year.  These painting campaigns are a blessing to someone who has trouble putting aside time for hobby.

Here's my very small contribution:

Father Sherzai - Priest with plasma gun
 

priest3

priest2

 
And Diplomat - Mars Alpha pattern Leman Russ Demolisher with Ryza Pattern turret
 

demo 2

demo 1

demo 3

 

 

I quite like ol' Diplomat there. It's selling me on the Ryza Demolisher turret pretty hard. :P

 

Anyway, here's my load o' posts for the ETL this year. Starting with Vow #1:
