++ March of the Legions: XIX Legion ++


Hyaenidae

Recommended Posts

I, Aquilanus, accept my role in this.
I promise to lead the XIX Legion into the zone of war, and conduct them to glory.
I will do so no matter the ferocity or ingenuity of the foe.
I pledge my honour to the XIX Legion.
On this matter, and by this weapon, I swear.

In Beakies we trust!


I'll be back to do the XX Legion in the catch up month smile.png

Anyone doing a XIX Legionary in terminator armour? My plan (before trying to destroy my hand) was to do one of the Deliverers. Would be cool to see one or two of those.

So he does. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Did him a while back, fluff in my RG thread. Won't be my vow for The March, but inspiration for others doesn't hurt smile.png

And such a beautiful model it is, KBA. I can't say for certain, but it may have been part of the inspiration for my initial idea.

So I caved in and bought a squad of destroyers, looks like my Salamanders are getting some RG allies! The stuff should arrive in time for me to make it for this month's submission.

 

I have 2000pts of Salamanders anyway, so will build 500pts of RG and make it a Shattered Legions force.

If you're crafty enough, Destroyers with Missile Launchers could pass for Tac Vets with ML or HB ;)

 

...which is how I'm using mine unless I find a way to make them work that doesn't involve me investing potentially 400+ points of a list into them.

 

Now, as for my particular pledges, I just need to buy more Primer and I should be good to go with getting them done next week. Or at least started.

Jump pack arrive. I stuck it on as it didn't seem to cover too much.

The wires are from an Ethernet cable and should be connected to the 'terminals' below the jump pack (whatever weapon that is for Contemptor). The. It would just be the cloth bits.

Bit of progress (need to do this quick because I'm working next weekend and my brothers coming the weekend after, and visiting the in-laws for Christmas).

Cheers. Been working on him on and off today. Need to decide on shoulder markings (betrayed by Corax, sent into exile, he has a new father now), and do the power markings on the claws. I have big ambition for them but we'll if it works out.

Amazing work!

I still want to see a Palm-Fired Volkite Weapon inside a Lightning Claw or Powerfist A la Iron Man With Laser Beam and all tongue.png

...Maybe I'll be good enough one day...

Before Massacre was released, this was kinda how I saw the Morlocks as they'd previously been described with twin-lightning claws - although maybe with twin plasma...

More pictures and background to come. Snapped this up real quick while I was finishing off retaking other pictures.

Just a quick update, not much work on my marine, just a quick head swap. I was going to change the hammer to a different combo but I couldn't bring myself to play around with such a beautiful model.

Some ideas on the background story, captain of an assault company on Istvaan V, his own weapons were badly damaged and he has salvaged the thunder hammer from a fallen Salamander. Have finished basing him and just waiting on that to dry before priming.

 

I may swap the jump pack out for a standard backpack, thoughts?




+++Astartes armour test program. Subject designate: Bal Orgus - 5124-981356/3. XIX Legion

+++Subject reports significant improvement in manoeuvrability, weight and systems redundancy++

+++However, subject submits request to change helm aesthetics design...+++

+++Request denied+++





"I look foolish" Bal Orgus snorted, his voice distorted by the curved helm.

"I think it looks very..."

"Very what?", Bal's tone warning his comrade.

"Us." Melchor Kith continued. "Very us."

Bal let out a sigh of derision and continued his test. He was currently examining how well his armour could continue to work after multiple system failures. It was working better than expected.

Melchor looked at his friend. Bal wanted nothing to do with this trial, wanted nothing to do with the Adeptus Mechanicus who stood impassively as the data flowed from his suit to their bodies. His right arm had been replaced recently, an ugly augmetic to replace his own flesh. He felt sullied, sundered and after his meeting with the Primarch himself, it should have been an honour to do this.

It wasn't.

"We should be rebuilding our Legion, not playing with toys."

"Toys? I would be wary on how you address this new armour mark, brother. The Primarch himself has had a hand in the creation of them."

"Maybe so, but
Corvus? A curved beak? Can this armour be more cliché?"

"I can not say on that, Brother. However, the true test is still before us."

Bal smilled faintly, hidden beneath his unfamiliar helm. The campaign against the Xenos. Against the Eldar.


Against those who took his arm.



More to come happy.png

++Pict of Najib-ul-Duala, Praetor of the 'Dawn Ravenors' XIth Chapter of the XIXth Legiones Astartes, during action as part of a Preditation Fleet in the outer reaches of the Galaxy. Equipped with artificer lighting claws and custom Volkite weaponry. The mark of armour worn suggests some contact with the main forces of the great crusade was maintained++

 

++The Praetor made a name for himself fighting in the Great Crusade under Horus, and when the XIth Chapter was formed he was given command. One of the Terran members of the Legion he was proponent of swift and savage strikes. Favouring high altitude drop insertions, equipped with jump packs, to fall on the enemy. Following Corax taking command of the XIXth, Najib was one of those sent into exile. It is unknown what purpose they were sent but it is worth noting the lack of Legion signature in the pict even though it was taken after they had become the Raven Guard++

 

They were coming. Uncalled for, not wanted, but they were coming. They would fall upon their enemies, and tear them apart. They would show their gene-sire loyalty

Are they fighting for Horus...or Emperor? They are certainly not fighting for Corax

"Once I led warriors into battle, heroes of the Imperium one and all. The greatest soldiers our race could produce, to face the foulest terrors that lurk amongst the stars.


Now I herd monsters to the slaughter, abominations for whom a swift death would be the greatest mercy we could provide.


Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
