Soldier of Dorn Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Damn, he looks good. Not saying the old one looked bad, mind you, but the new one. That terror marking. :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/4/#findComment-4385039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo13 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Damn, he looks good. Not saying the old one looked bad, mind you, but the new one. That terror marking. The other one was the wrong shade of gold... It didn't line up quite right and the new one just looks proper. Not over the top but very simplistic which is what I wanted. That and I love the look of that blade. It's very "grrr". The other one had to much going on and the helmet didn't really work.

jimbo13 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 So as promised. His saga..... ++++++ ---- Captain's Log ---- Some among our crew have begun to ask why I wear these "terror markings" like our lovely cousins in the 8th. It's tough to explain really. It's a mix of censure for what our father calls my... shall we call them "indiscretions" of a phosphexy nature and as a warning. Before I explain this warning though it's much easier if I explain where I picked it up. And yes our cousins from the VIIIth played a part. ...... It was a siege on the eastern fringes with those twisted sons of Curze. We were garrisoning a fort while resupplying. God that was a terrible few weeks... Those midnight bastards played god awful torture porn and screams for evenings on end. It's like they were trying to add some kind of ambiance to our stay... We had held for a good amount of time before the Night Lords finally breached a section of the walls. With the breach my patience had snapped. I'd been cooped up in that place against these amateurs for a few weeks on end and was ready to show those Nostromans the meaning of terror. With the first breach I told my men to stay back. I had a nice surprise for them. Those toads came a screaming and a wailing ready to start the bloodletting. Only to find an empty room... Well not quite empty... There was a dead Night Lord in the middle of the floor...I wouldn't say lying there as much pinned to the floor... With my rather large solarite blade in his chest. Those fools came in stopped and of course gathered around their pinned fellow wondering why he was so nicely left there. I was waiting on the other side of the wall mind you to see how long it would take them to find my little gift. Eventually one of those buffoons decided to take my blade as a trophy. Unfortunately for him I may have rigged the body with a canister of phosphex. Whoops... Those boys lit up like a nice little pot roast, except with a little more screaming and wailing. Once the phosphex burned out I came through and finished up with my Volkite Charger turning any of those idiots left to ash. Thse second wave was a little more fortunate. They waded into that charnel house once the first wave went quiet. Still smoking from residual phosphex and volkite ash I came at them like a force of nature. My blade and charger working through traitors with ease. The last of our cousins I took from behind. A swift kick to the back of his leg and putting my blade in his spine caused him to not squirm too much. Me and him were going to have words, in between the twitching... We talked of his treachery and madness. Of course that lunatic didn't give me much. Mostly curses and other obscenities... The Nostroman way. Eventually I tired of this game. So my finally question for hims was simple. Why have the skulls on their helmets? His answer was fear. The idea was somewhat sound I suppose. I told him he was misguided. It really should be to show them that you are coming for vengeance... ...... So the moral of the story is that I wears this mark not only to show my fathers displeasure at my actions. But for a much more primal reasoning. I am the Praetorians Vengeance.... http://i.imgur.com/3OD0vdSl.jpg I finally tried to come up with a better backstory for "The Djinn". Please let me know what you think. Also if any would be interested in proofreading my fluff please sound off. I don't have anyone really 30k/40k inclined near me who I would bounce ideas off of. Also I has more goodies. First one, will be an Imperial Fist, and an internet cookie to whoever can guess what he will be. Please let me know how the combi choom turned out. http://i.imgur.com/7NpgP9Kl.jpg And for Brother Captain Arkhan. I'm going to make an allied detachment of ultrasmurfs. I have yet to decide as to what chapter they will be. So I'm going to paint a few up and go from there. So far I have Storm Wardens (I love the scheme/Unknown gene seed), <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" data-cke-saved-href="http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor's_Spears" href="http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Emperor's_Spears" s_spears"="">Emperors Spears, or Angels Revenant. I want to try out one other scheme but need help. So I put the deed to you folks, an Ultra's successor with no red or yellow(obscene amounts). http://i.imgur.com/Hb1Qtfnl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/4/#findComment-4387192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Not at all! It might be one of the more Legit uses, actually! If you want SCOTTS IN SPAAAACE look no further than the Storm Warders.

Seneschal of the Seventh Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I love the concept behind the "Djinn," I feel like the potential darker side of the VIIth isn't explored all that much in 30k. Between the rampant masochism and future zealotry, there's a lot of room for character development! Plus... volkite on a character is always tasty!

Please let me know your thoughts. It was a quick and dirty one. So don't be too harsh, would not replicate the white helmet again, probably would just do a stripe or something. This will be Ultrafied at some point if I continue with this scheme. Probs darker blue shoulder pads and Ultima symbols.

jimbo13 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Storm Warden. Rough and dirty again. Not thrilled with the general look. Also not super enjoyable to paint... The Silver Snake will be next but I'm going to order some non gw paints. Any suggestions?
