Slips Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yes they are; although not so much for the actual devestator, in my eyes :p For Sallies...well, I have two unpainted Cataphractii Terminators with Heavy Flamers. I guess one could be on mentoring duties Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299909-march-of-the-legions-xix-legion/page/8/#findComment-3894104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der_H Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So here s my completed entry for the XIX. Edit: with added fluff!! The moon emerged from behind a cloud, casting its ethereal light on the landscape below. It was quiet, it wasn’t a battle anymore. The sounds of distant bolter exchanges echoed around the narrow canyons and Sgt Brax of the IVth ordered his men to advance. Yard by yard they checking each rocky outcrop and every concealed area for their prey. The sound of power armoured footsteps on rock echoed up the narrow cutting. He sensed movement ahead. Brax knelt and with one quick hand signal his men knelt also. “Hail, Brother” said the figure who emerged around the corner “Hail” Brax knew this voice, and he stood. His old friend walked towards him, the rest of his own unit rounding the jagged corner ahead followed by a mighty contemptor dreadnought. The units exchanged glances, assessing losses and equipment status. It had been days since the first strike at the drop-site. They were worn, but not tired. The hunt kept them sharp. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/F.jpg “What news Brother?” “Tracking some stragglers,” Brax replied “we’re close.” “Unlikely my old friend,” the Sgt laughed “we have come from where you are heading...” Brax felt his jaw tighten and his grip on his weapon shift, “...there was nothing” The sergeant hardened as he saw Brax’s hand shift on his bolter. Brax felt anger well up in his chest, but he lowered his Bolter to his side. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/R.jpg Brax turned away. “We will double back to the last fork,” he barked at his men “they must be in here somewh...” His words were lost under the powerful blast of a lascannon. The contemptor flashed with fire as its torso was hit. The ancient warrior groaned and stumbled to its knee. A second shot landed perfectly, more central than the last, which sent it rolling back. Bolter fire erupted all around. Shouts and confusion took over. It was time for orders. “Contacts.” Brax raised his bolter, spun on his feet to kneel. His bolter sights lined up. “Engage!” His men, initially scattered, took cover where they were able. Shapes moved overhead, evading the sights of warriors below. The fog, the sound of bolt guns, the sounds of movement close but unseen confused the senses of the warriors of the IVth and slowly they fell. Brax was thrown to the ground by a bolt round to his left pauldron. He knew this pain, and quickly regained his senses. A scream erupted from behind. Brax rolled over to see his old friend with three glowing claws protruding from his chest. The claws drew back, replaced with rich blood of the falling warrior. Brax swung his bolter around, and unleashed its payload at the shadowed warrior behind his fallen brother. A flash of a jump pack and the shadow was gone. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/L.jpg Brax crawled over to his fellow sergeant, his shallow breaths interrupted by coughs of blood. “They followed us brother...” the dying warrior gasped “...run...” “We are the IVth Legion. We have already taken the drop-site. We do not run from our prey” http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/B.jpg Brax hauled himself from the ground and turned as a shadowed figure appeared from the fog. A sharp pain caught his breath and he was stopped in mid stride. He looked up to see a MkVI helmet within inches of his visor. The helmet was black, set with two deep red eyes. “You should have listened to your friend. Traitor” The claws that sat in his chest tore sideways, carving through his carapace and ceramite as though made of cloth. The figure turned, flew up into the fog and was gone. Brax dropped to his knees, readouts in his helmet listing the damage, his hearts racing. The nearby bolter rounds slowed their rate and were replaced by silence. Brax fell forward, the impact of his armour slowly echoing around the canyon walls. The fog darkened and the moon disappeared behind the clouds. http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o501/henrycoll/March%20of%20the%20Legions/Pose.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299909-march-of-the-legions-xix-legion/page/8/#findComment-3896205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der_H Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Der_H, he is coooool. Did you green stuff the Sang Guard wings? The feathers at the bottom look more...feathery. Its a bit of a cheat...they're the wings from Astorath the Grim I used the base model for a NL praetor with an OOP raptor Jump pack so had the pack and wings spare - hence the more 'feathery' appearance. I was hoping to do more line highlighting or even jsut dry brushing on teh wings to make them stand out but...well...i didnt i guess :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299909-march-of-the-legions-xix-legion/page/8/#findComment-3898348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaced Hulk Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Nearly finished painting my entry for the XIX, (incidentally, I think I've been missed off the oath list in the first post). Probably going to add a few more details like the legion & company numerals, and hoping to get the fluff finished before the new year as well. Here's how he stands at the moment though: Lucas Deth, Commander of the Black Guards, Reborn Third Company of the Nineteenth Legion Astartes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299909-march-of-the-legions-xix-legion/page/8/#findComment-3899895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Loving everyone's work! You're all producing some really characterful and interesting XIX Legion warriors this month :) I'm really struggling with this month's march. As it stands, all I've done is undercoat the mini... For some reason my 30k/40k mojo is really suffering at the moment but my WHFB mojo is firing on all cylinders. I'm just going to have to force myself to get it done...

This allows you to shave off the edge of the shoulder, gouge your own lines to represent the layered plate, and add some rivets. Voila! Thunder Armour Shoulder plates!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 A lone astartes stood in the cell, facing the mirror on the other side of the room. The laser beams that served as the bars of his prison hummed softly. His helmet rested on the cot behind him. He had not spoken in nearly thirty hours. The armor he wore was painted a deep blue-grey, reminiscent of the color he wore all those decades ago on Terra, and was dusty but well-maintained. After the Primarch had turned his back on his kind, he had refused to wear the black and the raven, now only bearing the XIX numeral of his Legion. On his left pauldron was a faded and chipped skull and laurel denoting his rank as a Company champion, and on the right, the icon of his assault assignment. In height and build he was average for his kind, but there was where any commonality ended with the majority of his genetically engineered brothers. The epicanthic fold of his almond-shaped eyes and the dark tattoos that lined his face spoke of his Asiatic heritage from Terra. Eyes of solid black, set close to either side of a wide nose, were sunk deep in a darkly tanned face, and they spoke of a different heritage: one that now shunned his kind for their birth place. Those cold, dark eyes stared, unblinking, at his own reflection but knew they were looking into anothers' on the other side of the mirror. Severen Erris couldn't really be called be stealthy, but he was incredibly quiet for a Contemptor. His measured steps barely even gave a tremor through the metal decking as he moved up to his oldest friend and reluctant captain. One look between the prisoner and his companion told him all he needed to know. "He sees ye." "Yes," Vall replied. "He hasn't spoken yet, has he?" The short astartes shook his head in frustration. "No. We've been having this staring contest for nearly six hours now. I'm glad you've returned." A static blurt emitted from the Contemptor - the equivalent of a grunt from the old Dusk Raider inside the machine. "I read th' brief. He slew his brothers. Why's he still drawin' breath?" "We've slain our brothers as well," Vall countered. "They were traitors. There was no evidence that his brothers-" "He's no traitor. Perhaps Corax knew they had been too close to Horus for too long. I don't agree with the actions of their Primarch, but sacrificing the Terrans did keep the corruption from reaching his Legion. And this one, Enami Ozika, was only finishing what Corax started. We found lodge tokens," Vall added, before Severen could object again. "Fine. He's no traitor, but he en't accepted our offer or even requested t' be returned t' his own forces. Boot him out th' airlock. Be done with him." "I don't kill loyal astartes, and he would make a great addition to our assualt forces." The towering machine heaved a sigh. "Yer not even listenin' t' me, are ye, lad?" "He's a survivor, just like us. He was at Lysithea, the retaking of Akum-Sothos, and Isstvan, and here he stands." "Lysithea?" Severen echoed, and there was a hint of respect in his tone. "He obviously has no love for his Primarch, since he don't wear th' raven, but why th' raven-shaped helm?" Vall smiled, but still stood unmoving, looking into Ozika's eyes. "It's not a raven, but a raptor. Gotha did some checking and found that his unit had been reprimanded numerous times for refusing to bear the raven icon, but he took it a step further and had his helm fashioned after the Raptor Imperialis." "Maybe he en't so bad after all." "You saw his weapon?" The Contemptor shifted slightly in what approximated an affirmative. "Aye. Never seen th' like." "According to Gotha, it was a ceremonial tool of punishment for his people, used to sever head and limb alike, depending on the crime. Ozika likes to disarm his opponents, literally, before killing them. He also collects the finger bones from traitors, carves the names of fallen brothers into them, and links them with wire into a sort of tapesty, as his people once did on Terra." A low, electronic rumble signaled a laugh from the Contemptor. "I think I'm startin' t' like him." Just then, Ozika blinked, sighed, and sat down on the cot. He held up a hand and motioned for whoever was watching to come forward. "Might be gettin' somewhere," Severen said as Vall exited the room. Ozika's eyes widened in surprise when the short astartes entered the cell block, clad in only a simple robe of deep grey. "What afflicts you, brother, to stunt your growth so?" Vall managed a hint of a smile. "I was of the original VIII Legion, pulled from a dark hole in the ground on Terra. Food was scarce and it didn't help my growth much." "Night Lords," Ozika said derisively, then spat on the floor of his cell. "I'm no more a Night Lord than you are a Raven Guard. My Crimson Sons are a collection of loyalists of all stripes, many of us Terran. We still fight for the Emperor against our traitorous brothers. Have you decided to accept the offer to join us?" "I have nothing to return to," Ozika said. "I do not wish to rot in a cell. I want to fight, but I will not wear the colors or numbers of another Legion." "I would never ask such a thing of you, brother," Vall replied. "My men who brought you aboard, you saw their helmets?" "I did." "That is our only uniform." Ozika nodded and picked up his raptor helm; with his free hand, he bit deeply into his thumb and used the tip to paint bloody tears coming from the eyes. With a gesture from Vall, the laser bars of the cell vanished and he held out his hand. "Welcome to the Crimson Sons." http://i.imgur.com/lqi6pb1.png http://i.imgur.com/m2EwmDW.png http://i.imgur.com/CnicyAv.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299909-march-of-the-legions-xix-legion/page/8/#findComment-3901507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
