The traitors were coming. All light was out on this deck, perfect for an ambush. His squad was fidgeting, hiding with boarding shields is difficult even for them. The report coming from the bridge was that could be as many as sixty traitors in his area and he had only his squad to count on. As the traitors approached, their armor could be recognized by the sea green of the Sons of Horus. They were moving quickly now, their footsteps echoing through the passageways. Soon the first squad made their way past Amalric's location noticing nothing. As the second squad moved by, Amalric gave a hand gesture and 15 Bolters opened up...

Thought I'd throw my hat into the ring with this little offering. tongue.png

This image depicts Montgomery Pyfonn, a so-called ‘Shadow Master’ of the XIX legion. A veteran of the Lycaen Uprising, Pyfonn was given the honour of receiving geneseed implantation following Corax’s reunion with his legion. A rare genetic quirk gave him the ability to ‘shadow-walk’, a talent more commonly known as ‘not being seen’.

Pyfonn survived the massacre at Isstvan V by not being seen and continued to fight for the Imperium for the next four years of the Heresy. A comprehensive list of the actions he took part in is hard to collect because in many of them he was never seen by anyone, loyalist or traitor. It is believed he was killed by an artillery strike shortly after this image was taken.

Is it just me or is the newer tactical squad much more usable to make heresy stuff!

Beautiful beakies are filling this thread and that makes me happy smile.png

much of my Heresy army comes from the mk4+6 pieces located in the new tactical kits.

sure it took alot of trading, bits off of ebay, but it was more affordable than FW

some great looking birdies here chaps . 

never thought i would ever do raven guard but here goes

 

I, Daemonclaw, 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.

My reaction when I saw both of the above was "Ooooh!" happy.png

Kai Hau and the Dust Clad of the XIX

 

 

“To those who call themselves ‘Loyalists’, I say this; loyalty must be earned. For long centuries we scoured the stars for our gene-sire alongside our cousins in the XVI; when at last we found him, he overturned the sacred traditions of our Legion, condemned us as tyrants and cast us out into the outer darkness. It was only then that I realised that our true father had been with us all along; blood means nothing compared to comradeship. The only one who has earned my loyalty is the Warmaster. I spit on the Ravenlord; He is no father of mine.”
-Lieutenant Commander Kai Hau, formerly of the 7th Battalion, XIX Legion

The XIX Legion, or Raven Guard, was one of those that remained faithful to the Imperium in the wake of the Warmaster’s treachery. However it would be naïve to believe that the every member of the Legion remained Loyal. The Ravenlord’s actions in the days after being united with his Legion left a lasting legacy of bitterness amongst some of the longest serving Terrans under his command, and for a small number, this anger would eventually be expressed in a repudiation of the Primarch and all he stood for.
 
When the Primarch of the XIX took control of his Legion, he began a major cultural shift in his command. Corax’s background as a freedom fighter and crusader against oppression sat badly with the ‘might makes right’ Xeric tribal philosophy of his Terran veterans, and while the majority of the Legion transitioned to the new ways, there remained a rump that was reluctant to abandon their traditions. There hold-outs were dealt with ruthlessly; the Ravenlord essentially cast them out of the Legion, removing them from the command structure of the XIX and scattering them in ‘Nomad Predation’ fleets sent to pacify the fringes of the galaxy.
 
Many of these outcast XIX remained Loyal to the Imperium and their Primarch come the Great Betrayal, but one who did not was Lieutenant Commander Kai Hau. A proud warrior of Xeric stock, Hau had fought for the Legion since the earliest days of the Great Crusade, and proudly maintained the traditions that had distinguished the XIX since that time. For a time after the Ravenlord’s union with his Legion he escaped the general purge of his comrades by finding favour as a liaison officer for joint operations with the XVI; however after the Akum-Sothos Cluster campaign and the withdrawal of all cooperation between the two legions, it was clear that Hau’s usefulness to the Primarch was at an end.
 
The unfortunate Lieutenant Commander was given command of a few hundred Terran veterans and, like so many of his kind, was exiled to the distant Halo Stars. For the next half century, Hau and his comrades languished in obscurity, fighting unknown wars beyond the Galactic fringe and appearing only occasionally in Imperial records; however, it appears that some contact was maintained with their old friends in the Warmaster’s legion, and at some point before the Isstvan atrocity, they were recalled to join the traitor cause.  
 
Fortunately for the Imperium, Hau and his comrades never made it to join the bulk of the Warmaster’s forces. Around the time of their summons, his strike force took serious casualties in a major engagement, quite possibly the result of internal infighting. While resupplying at a concealed cache in the crystal forests of Satva Tertius, they were chanced upon by the Rogue Trader Fouwé Tor, who had also been engaged in exploration of the Halo Zone and was completely ignorant of the warfare spreading across the Imperium. The renegade Astartes, not realising this fact, launched an immediate attack on the new arrivals; however they had badly misjudged the capabilities of Tor’s vessel Anastasia, and their Strike Cruiser was quickly disabled, trapping them on the planet’s surface. Refusing all offers of surrender, Hau was eventually cut down by the massed volkites of Tor’s landing parties.
 
Other ‘Dust Clad’ were more successful. As early as the Coronid Deeps campaign, enough members of the XIX had joined the Warmaster’s forces to organise a demi-company; by Dwell and Molech three whole battle companies wore the whorled grey of the old XIX. It is certain that the Dust Clad were at Terra with their adopted father; their ultimate fate after the Warmaster’s death remains one of the many unknowns of that disturbed period.

Nice work EdT, love his tribe tatoos :P
 

Arkhas Fal is almost complete, only his helmet need some paint :P

 

Testudas pattern Terminator Armour

 

This suit of Terminator armour shares many similarities with early Indomitus armour produced on the Forge World of Testudas, designed to be an dedicated assault variant. Arkhas Fal gained a prototype of this Tactical Dreadnought Armour after the compliance of 27-13, as a gift from the Testudas-Mechanicum, but because of material straits and the outbreaking Heresy (and Testudas' extermination in the 3rd year of war) only a handful of suits, around 500, were ever manufactured and used by the Legiones Astartes.

@Anaziel : I'm using that same veteran head!

@Slipstreams: I've been sitting on a Korvydae or two for a while now from my now abandoned RG project. I may refunnel them into a HH RG army if it ever takes off. still on the fence about that.

 

WLK

Well, he makes for a good base for an RG character so, go for it WLK.

 

Im waiting for Corax. If the model is even half good the project will go full steam ahead.

 

Im worried about the model being covered in the (imo) stupid tattoos and his possible prince valiant hair from novel covers.

 

(Im aware all that can be altered with nail and file work, but I refuse to pay for a model that needs further work to be bearable in my eyes)
