He died during Badab didn't he? When the space station was blown up before the leaders of the loyalists and rebels could arrange for peace. Does Cullns profile give any hints about where his gear came from?

Crazy Eight: Well the Sword of the Scorpion is referred too as the chosen weapon of each High Commander so I guess he would have it BUT..... I always think that Space marine Characters would use an abundance of different wargear to get the job done (This may just be the Raptor in me). So I would say equip him how you like, Rule of Cool is number one around here Bro!

Jimbo13: Nice Exorcist! Where is the helm from? I know it was not one of your original colour ideas but I like to see Red and Black on Exorcists. I think the deep red MKVI pad with black studs would look pretty menacing and allow the metal on other parts of the model to stand out in contrast. Just my two cents smile.png

Brother Tyrax: Nice Ironclad weapons. I like the look of them. Also cool idea using the Pod Missile launcher on top! Also your Vaylund is a beast.

Hannibal Adats: Need to see those Sternguard painted up. Great Combi grav conversions! I always think Iron Hands or their successors should have variant weapons to show there skill with the old machine and all. Nice choice of shoulder Pad too!

Silverghost_90: Nice Issodon. I always imagined him hooded myself. Can we see another angle of Malice?

UPDATED TO THIS POINT

PS: I have added the OBJECTIVE SECURED rewards to the first post. Purity seals for the loyalist and Maelstrom Warder Badges for the Secessionist!!!

Wonder who will be the first to get one on the roll of honour. Ill bet you all £20 it will not be me!!!!

Hey guys! I was directed to this project from the Lux e Tenebrae thread by Uprising, and all this looks amazing. Just wanted to throw my support in here since I love doing the Badab chapters. It's going to be about a month before I can really contribute to this, but I just wanted to leave some contribution in the meantime.

Silas Alberec, Captain of the 3rd, with 5th company heraldry because red shoulder trim on red armor is... not so interesting.

My take on Lias Issodon

 

While most of my Badab stuff come from the Exorcists and Carcharodons, I do have some small forays into the Raptors, Sons of Medusa and even an Executioner! Unfortunately I am away from my collection so I cannot really do much for now. Still I'm pretty excited this topic exists, I've always loved the setting.. now if only I could get some games in against a Secessionist..

That Lias is fantastic! As well as the rest but Lias really caught my eye 0.0

raeho: Now that's what I'm talking about Brother!!!! If that lot is not motivation to paint Badab War stuff, I don't know what is! Beautiful. You have captured our Lias perfectly.

well living at the arctic circle sucks, hopefully I can get the stuff I need for some Lamenters soon. I would like to do my version of Phoros.

 

but, my main issue now is do I make my Lamenters Blood angel or vanilla.

 

I don't realyy care for the playstyle of the blood angels, not interested in SG or DC. but, if I go Vanilla, I lose Phoros, and I'll have to proxy......

 

what do you guys think?

Wow raeho, what a start! That Lias Issodon is one of the best I've seen so far. I'll have to flex some real kitbashing muscle for mine now!

 

Another week or so and I should be able to sit down and paint some tactical marines. Pictures of the progress coming soon (don't hold you breath though, I'm a slow painter)

Raeho... Damn brother, that is just beautiful and amazing. I wish I could give you all my likes for the day. Your Lias Issodon is brilliant.

 

BTW: My tacticals arrived today, Im just waiting for the FW bits.

If you're still looking for members to join in on the fun, I'd love to throw my hat in for the Secessionists. I'm working on an Executioners force as we speak so it will give me a good chance to get my ass into gear.

 

Edit:

 

For the month of June, I plan to paint up a five man Combat Squad and a Librarian for the Executioners.

The reference section of the Liber was busy. That wasn't in and of itself unusual, but the number of Serfs carrying large tomes on Chapter Lore to and fro was.

 

Olis stopped one such servant on his way to gather another book.

 

"What is he looking for now?!" His annoyance more based on having to ask, than having to deal with his Brother's...idiosyncrasies.

 

The Serf quavered. Olis knew that he was sworn to secrecy, so let him carry on. A few feet away, a book had fallen from a cart being dragged in bodily by other hapless Serfs. The Badab War chapter two.

 

"Which one?"

 

"My Lord?"

 

"Which Chapter is he researching?"

 

"All of them!"

 

Olis walked back to his cell. There was no way he was going to deal with this, not this time.

 

++Conn? Ly? You might want to stay away from the reference section for a bit...++

 

I, Aquilanus, hereby vow that I will paint one model of each Chapter involved in the Badab War on both sides. No painting timeline/schedule and ultimately, each model will differ in load out depending on the Chapter.

The chapter serf entered his Masters cell cautiously, as he always did when he heard the usual tirade of expletives.

"Is all well my Lord?"

"No it bloody well is not! Its Aquilanus and Deus ex Ferrum, they are driving me nuts"

A confused expression arrived upon the serfs ugly little features..

"Your fellow Brothers? You often speak so highly of them.... Lord"

"That was before their actions have made me type their names thousands of times on this blasted cogitator, By the All Fathers hairy Backside, I will be avenged!"

"Oh my Lord, have you not remembered, the inter-chapter cogitator training course you attended on Medusa?

"You really thought I was paying attention then, serf? Iron Hands are damn good in a fight, but that monotonous drivel leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to keeping ones attention!"

"Oh well if you had the mind to listen, then you would have known that this key here allows you to copy, and this one here to paste....."

3 loud bolt pistol shots echoed around the confined chamber.

"That was for being a clever bastard"

2 more followed

"And that was for not telling me sooner."

Unfortunately we won't see paint on any Medusans till next Friday as the place I ordered from is waiting on stock for one part of my order. dry.png

Really kind of annoying as I want to get cracking on Cal. Also, how useful are Hurricane Bolters on Ironclads? Would you trade the extra CC attack for some anti infantry?

Heh, 'bout time you jumped in the fray......But I promise you, if you paint lamenter better than me, you gotta paint mine too!

Or I'll cry like a little girl with a skinned knee.

I can't really offer advice on this Brother as I'm an aesthetically minded hobbyist. I have a 5 man squad armed with 3 PS, 1 PA & 1PF and whole squad with storm shields. Expensive but have proven lethal with a Jump Pack Chaplain. I only play in a small friendly gaming group (fortunately) though so don't know how useful this would be depending on your regular opponents . Check out the Tactica section here on the B&C. I am sure there is a discussion on VV loadout :-)

 

EDIT: I couldn't see anything myself in the Tactica section after a scan. However there is a good discussion on page 4 in the Raven Guard sub forum. Some of the tactics may require RG chapter tactics but it may give you some ideas Brother .
