Kol Saresk Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 So who else has the inspiration to use the Gal Vorbak models to represent some mutated Chymera Terminators?

Jareddm Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I love the idea of a Black Shield unit revolving around a LoW and all the support that went with it. My idea goes back to when the first Typhons were distributed beyond the IVth legion. But by Perturabo's demands, each of these first-run heavy siege tanks would remain manned by Iron Warriors, acting as small embassies to Iron Warrior sovereignty. Cut to the Horus Heresy and the first Typhon delegated to the Ultramarines is still in operation. Formerly the Katastrofi, now the Will of Konor, none are sure what transpired when word reached the distant 73rd Company regarding the Heresy. None are even sure what words those were. Perhaps the Iron Warriors used their position of power to wipe out their support elements. Perhaps the Ultramarines overtook the great engine, overcome by feelings of fraternal betrayal. Or perhaps the two came to an understanding, finding solace in their mutual abandonment and loss of purpose. All that is known is the massive siege tank has been seen laying waste to loyalist and traitor alike, both its Ultramarine colors and Iron Warrior lineage stripped away, maniacal laughter heard emanating from within its chassis.

Jalgar Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So there I was...I got back into Warhammer. I have a job that can actually support my gaming addiction. I have a wife that likes to play. And I decided Age of Darkness was for me. I went back and forth between Death Guard and Raven Guard. And then I see the first promo pics of Black Shields. By the Emperor's Golden Toilet Plunger! This is the army I have wanted to build all my life. Haha! Thank the throne I have not started slinging paint at my little grey guys. Xin I feel your pain.

Skalpynock Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 "T'was on the black sands of Istvaan that our fates were broken. Ferrus was weak. Horus is mad. This Imperium is collapsing, attempting to save it would prove worthless. There is only one thing to do now, which we had always lived for: we shall bring the Storm. We had been sons once. Sons of Albia, of Medusa, of Ursh, of Olympia, of Ryza. Sons of Terra and sons of the Stars alike. But we were taken from these mother-lands and sent across the galaxy as the sons of madmen. Now that these fathers have set their own empire ablaze, we are sons of none. Though we are still of Iron, we shall walk once more as a storm, grinding corpses under our feet. Though we guard the dead, we shall be tyrant's ruin and rival's fall. Though still kings in battle, devouring worlds as they fall to our hands, we shall remind them that we are War-Born." — Vardek Talaron, marauder of the 'Storm of Steel' renegade detachment. Accent suggests Medusan or Barbaran heritage.

Xwingt65 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm considering expanding upon something Alan Bligh said a few years back - "How do you know there isn't more than one Alpha Legion" lot of possibilities there. Given it's implied that not even Alpharius or Omegon are aware of just exactly what the entirety of their Legion is doing at any given time, or indeed if these Astartes are a part of their Legion, there's rich scope for some action So a Alpha legion that Alpha legions the Alpha legion?
