Larkyn Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You who long for the Knightly Order,It is fitting you should lead a new life;Devoutly keeping watch in prayer,Fleeing from sin, pride and villainy;The Church defending,The Widows and Orphans succouring.Be bold and protect the people,Be loyal and valiant, taking nothing from others.Thus should a Knight rule himself.He should be humble of heart and always work,And follow Deeds of Chivalry.;Be loyal in war and travel greatly;He should frequent tourneys and joust for his Lady Love;He must keep honor with all,So that he cannot be held to blame.No cowardice should be found in his doings,Above all, he should uphold the weak,Thus should a Knight rule himself. -Ancient Terran Poem, origin unknown. There is a battle to be fought, Before the weapon is in hand,Or the enemy is in distance to strike.The battle is in the mind,To take captive our fears and doubts,To secure our thoughts andCommand our mental faculties.To focus these moment of our lifeFor a greater purpose than our own needs,Our own wants or even our own preservation.To walk into the shadow of death placing ourDestiny in the hands of God,For Him, for Country, for family,For the defense and well being of others,For children yet to be born.To remove all jealousy, envy, strifeAnd hatred from our heart.To forgive all who have wronged us.To be thankful for all the beauty in the world.And every voice and smile of friendship.To pray for our families and loved ones,To pray for our enemies as well;That in this ensuing battle,Whatever the outcome,That the Will of God be done.To pray for courage that we might encourage others.To pray for the forgiveness of others,That we may be forgiven ourselves.For if this be our last moments,We want to be right with Him.This is the Heart of ancient Knighthood,When every day was a battle in the mind.This is the heart of true patriots,True Soldiers, for all who serve God,In serving their Country andIn service to others. -Ancient Terran Poem, origin unknown. Knight Colton Wieland knelt down, armoured palm brushing against the gritty ground beneath him. The autosenses in his glove gave him the same perception as if he had touched the ground with his bare hands. He stayed like this for a few moments, just surveying the soil of this new world. It was a habit of his, whenever he got the opportunity to, to check the soil of each world. A good luck charm, so to speak. He rose, after a moment, with a grinding of servos. His black-iron armour had seen some serious damage during this campaign. It would take quite a while for his squires to repair it. But, with luck, they would have it repaired in time for the next war. "Knight Wieland, we are leaving," his Brother-Sergeant, Tobias Brecht, said. Wieland walked over to the rest of the knights of his Lance, and nodded in acknowledgment. "Brothers, we have fought long and hard, and lost many good warriors. But, finally the greenskins have been defeated. Even now our brothers in the Ninth, Fouteenth, and Twenty-Third Orders are exterminating the last vestiges of opposition. The cities and outposts are Compliant. Gerwault is in the hands of the Imperium. We are to move on to the next campaign. Ave Imperator!" At this last sentence, Sergeant Brecht raised his sword in the air, and the Knights of the Lance repeated the war cry at a deafening pitch. For these warriors were Knights of the First, the Emperor's Sword against the Darkness.

Larkyn Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 That's actually a very shaded down silver. I applied two coats of P3 Armour Wash to Army Painter Plate Mail Metal. Thanks to Heathens (or Hyenas or whatever your name is now ) for directing me to that wash. I bloody love it. Now time to get to assembling some Tactical marines!

depthcharge12 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Good start brother-knight! Might I suggest thinning your paints a bit and adding a wash? It will help things blend a bit :) It's interesting how each of the various 1st legion guys paint theirs differently haha. Mine is more black with a touch of white: http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac316/treacyjohn2/5bfc0edd1dd44e184a286fc50e0de0bd_zpsf0d36c22.jpg I have a million different ideas for a paladin/praetor/champion and I like how you kitbashed. Here was my take on it, I have a feeling that the champion model will be the go to for 1st legion players ;) http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac316/treacyjohn2/b372c78237a84d5b8df9c12757d8c9d4_zpsc895a720.jpg Good luck! I look forward to yours!

Fire Golem Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Do you mean, the original model? It's Lucien Sforza from Infinity. Not a clue if you mean character haha.

Larkyn Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Is he going to be your Lord Marshal? Pretty decent looking mini either way lol. Close, he's going to be a leader of something. I've had little time to work on anything the past week, between working somewhere in the vicinity of 12-14 hours a day, but I plan on doing some major painting on Christmas Day, so look forward to that. In the meantime, I leave you with a name: Abyssal Serpent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300249-the-666th-expedition-fleet-leman-russ-and-lord-marshal/#findComment-3899253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkyn Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Lots of work done tonight: My first Auxilia Strike Leman Russ. I wanted a busy, working vehicle. Plus, I may have been inspired by listening to the movie Fury while assembling the tank. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/K8HYlK.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/913/AjhsPQ.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/AWvz3N.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/901/E85CaV.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/0EQFEa.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300249-the-666th-expedition-fleet-leman-russ-and-lord-marshal/#findComment-3978994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
