Argh!  I wish I was stationed in England, I would totally challenge you to honorable combat Salamander!!!  I know the Executioners and Salamanders fought, it must have been wild.  

 

Great read!  Keep it up!

 

And the Salamanders would accept your honourable challenge, Executioner! And perhaps convince you to come back to the light ;) 

 

Curse this azure expanse between us I say! 

 

Glad you like the fluff Armond, I'm thinking I'll chip in with random bits to help bring the Badab story to life in some small way. Suffice to say the Salamanders and Executioners will meet up at some point...maybe Theon will be there too! 

It´s that time of year now! It´s Badab Wars at my local store!!

 

started on a small allied force of lamentors ta assist my astral claws

i´ll think i will have a go agains some Novamarines today 

Call me jealous!!!  I would love to play some Badab games!!!  I wish my group was as into the fluff as I am.  Here is my entire Executioners army I painted this past month!  I totaled it up just not 5 minutes ago, comes out to ~2400 points!!!  Notice the lone Scout/Recon Marine front left, I am trying to figure out how I want to make 4 more of them that way.

Great additions biggrin.png

I need a little help from team Badab. I've more or less finished work on a new captain for my Minotaurs, but I have a detail that needs doing.

That black splodge on the base is actually a Space Marine helmet with the side caved in, presumably from a hefty blow from a Thunder Hammer. I want to paint it in a fluff-appropriate colour, but not sure which chapter to choose. Suggestions?

Great work Halandaar!

 

My vote would go for Executioners purely due to the piece of background in the Badab books that mentioned the two chapters clashing occasionally and almost seeming to enjoy the tear up between themselves too much! I can't remember the exact words but it was something along those lines. I imagine both chapters unofficially agreeing to not use firearms and just smashing each other to bits with axes, hammers, blades and fists!

Thanks for the suggestions everybody, we have a winner!

 

While the Lamenters are indeed an appropriate choice, their colours might not stand out to well against the sandy base. Given that the Astral Claws and Executioners both have a very metallic scheme, I wasn't convinced that it'd be obvious which one the helmet belonged to. And so...

Poor brother Mantis. Who's the prey now?

So by way of motivation and in an attempt to create smaller (easier to manage goals!) I would like to set myself an objective of having a complete 10 man tactical squad of the 4th Company Star Phantoms chapter completed within one month (ish, I'll give myself till the mid to end of November). So they currently look like this:

 

Tactical Squad 1

Hey guys! Bit of an update..

 

So I was working on the Terminator Squad I posted a little while back, and I would like some suggestions on something.

I wanted his right shoulderpad to resemble the Grey Knight Terminator shoulder pads, but I'm not sure if I should do it again on the back half since it might look too cluttered. Should I do both sides or leave it as it is?

 

On a side note, while painting this I realized that my color scheme looks really similar to the original one it appeared in.. Foreshadowing!

Hmm, the effect looks excellent, and I would definitely repeat the design on the back half of the pauldron. On a related note, that is shaping up to be a rather spectacular paintjob! You are really making that old chestnut shine through your work!

Thanks for the words of advice guys! There is a little metal thing on the back part of his shoulderpad, so freehanding stuff may not look nice. I guess I'll try to do the scripture on the other panel and see how it looks, I'm just worried that it'll look like a huge mess of biege and brown from a distance.

 

These guys are really fun to paint, but if I do another squad of these it definitely won't be Exorcists, waaaaay too much effort.
