MikhalLeNoir Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I once sent you I think 3 concepts. Must take a look into our conversations. If the objektive view is written. I can write some short stories about. Is always easier for me. Derives from my chaotic workflow I think;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4245761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Alright, what was the first battle? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4246717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 The first battle is when they were still the apostles of war. They underestimated the ork waagh grotsmasha and the fleet was blocked by a fleet of spavehulks and so the planetfall troops were nearly anhilated. They engaged the enemy with their heavy support squads and the units in terminator armor tried to block the ork waves out of the way. Nonetheless they would have been all destroyed if not for the pre eagle warriors who aided them and rescued them at the last second. Â But because of that the aposltes relied on heavy weapon and termies. From that the later warwarestyle of the wardens was developed. But instead of terminator, gwal used assault marines cuz they were faster and more flexible.

simison Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Grotsmasha sounds familiar. Where is the name from? Â A fleet of spacehulks? As far as I was aware spacehulks tend to travel solo through the Warp. Am I wrong?

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Well, or it is such a big spacehulk with attacking orcs, that the fleet is cut off. and yes. grotsmasha is the name of a mod. was AO's Idea and I liked it^^.  by the way, do you remember this guy?  http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/10/756700_sm-Great%20Crusade%2C%20Lost%20Legion%2C%20Warhammer%2030k%2C%20Xith%20Legion.JPG  If so, then look here:  ==> Hidden Content http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/8/762828-Warden%20of%20Light.png Thx to the talented Inkary, this lad has been banned on paper (kinda^^) <== Edited December 8, 2015 by MikhalLeNoir Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4246949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Spacehulks are essentially huge pieces of mangled rock and ships that they are essentially floating space stations. I can see one of them crashing through the Apostle fleet and distracting them from helping the ground forces.  So, this is a battle to emphasize the differences between the Apostles and the Wardens. You have the enemy, enemy commander, who's leading the Apostles?

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Guiare Amalasan is leading. And the battle shows the differences but also the base of the later style. Druss is also there. He isn't the blafemaster then, only a marine, but he is accompanied by his axe snaga. ( but that i can write myself cuz it is first person ;) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4247038 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Phew, haven't thought of a name for it. Maybe "First blood" ?

simison Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 While I appreciate the irony of the former, it does come up as a little cheesy. I suggest going with the latter.

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 So it's time for the news!!!  Hell, wasn't successful in tearing my terminators to pieces, so I continued work on the veterans. Grenades, Melterbombs, combat Knifes and things like purits seaks are missing, but i will tak them on once I have finished the basic poses.

Â Â and here a very WiP Luth de Oganach 2.0 ( Yeah I know, haven't even painted the 1.0 edition...now you know why) Â Â I must say, that I am catched by the predator look and I think it could make a good beastly contrast in the ranks of the so elegant wardens.

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Soooo, another WiP. This time a test mini for the Comheadair - psypower defense troop.  Actually he is still armless ( playing around with starting a BlackLegion army and so they would be in nice company ;) )  What do you think? For the weapon I think of giving them simple power staffs. Nothing fancy as they are intended to shield my troops ( actually)  http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/30/767281-Comeheadair%201a.jpg   http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/30/767282-Comeheadair%201b.jpg  http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/12/30/767283-Comeheadair%201c.jpg Argent aquila and Luna707 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4264408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Love the model. What are those drapes over the arms? Are they going to be a former of Cape? Thx mate. Well they are some kind of stola( hope that is the right word. Flowing Cloth is a big part of my army theme and the comheadair feature these mini cloaks and no half skirt. When they suck up the warp energy I think the flowing cloth will help to show the effect.(hopefully) The veterans feature one half cloak on the right. Will show the assembled minis shortly ( after i out soke purity seals on them) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303402-xith-wardens-of-light-destined-to-be-forgotten/page/13/#findComment-4264587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my time cause I tend to paint veeeeeeeery slowly.  Looking good. I like the damage to the helms. Thx mate. As they are Veterans they had some time to gather some damage ;)  By the way: Here the alternate Veteran Sarge. I think he fits better than the old. As he draws a sword, he is Terranborn.   http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/3/768309-.jpeg  http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/1/3/768310-.jpeg  What do you think? Does he fit the squad or should I keep the one with the Dual Chain Glaive as the Squadleader?

Rangaman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The second Vet Sergeant fits the theme of the squad better I think. The dual glaive Vet, to me, looks misplaced because of his legs. An alternate squad with those legs would be great though, maybe a close combat orientated one.
