The story of The Spartan

I`ve seen Fury with Brad Pitt last week and just can`t resist.

I am starting Imperial Fists army and it will be build on the tank story. Some big contingent of 5th Company was ambushed at hostile Ork territory and had sustained heavy losses, all communication has broken down. Only survivors are the remnants of 1st Tactical Squad and Librarian Markus. Preparing themselves for the glorious last stand against unending tide of greenskins and defending holy vehicle when guns ran dry and all hope is to be lost. In the very last moment they see patrolling Land Speeder, sent from base to look for survivors of the orkish ambush. Sergeant Rosario of the 2nd Scout Unit delivers hellish bolter salvo and make Orks running away. This is where the story begins...
I was always building my armies on some story and this time couldn`t be different. I think Fury story fits my army very well, I really can`t see other explanation to have small 500pts army where you got Land Raider and scouts squad with Land Speeder. Idea of battle hardened veterans being rescued by their younger brethrens is flavour rich and opens many possibilities for future army building. Next chapter for my story is laborious come back to the Imperial Fists base through hostile land hopefully rescuing more survivors and forming bigger party. Transforming 5th Company survivors from prey to hunters.
 
And there is my first Space Marine:

I agree with Anaziel, great job with the yellow. I'm not fussed by the gold on the bolter, as it is either the lighting or wear and tear from use. Love the fact its fluff orientated too, its a great way to collect an army, but then I am biased on that as that's how all my armies have been collected. Good luck with your project. 

thanks guys!

 

I must admit Ive must have missed this eagle while painting. Mini is not finished I will add some chipping and battle damage but first I need to practise with something and I will do it when whole squad will be painted up to this level.

Gamewise now, I am not experienced Space Marines player. I am considering few more Land Speeders Storms with Scouts w/ heavy bolters to have sth like this for 1k:

 

Librarian 2nd lvl term armour

5 Assault Terminators in Land Raider Crusader

10 tactical plasma gun & cannon w/ Rhino

3x5 Scouts with Land Speeders (heavy bolters with scouts, meltas with LS)

 

Is it competitive by any means? I do not want to conquer my local tournament scene but would be nice not to loose all battles all the time ;)
