Primus Inter Pares - L&T vow: Veterans and CHOOM [17/02]

[Dosjetka]

"First blood to the First Legion."

- Vox excerpt from Lance-Centurion Ankovič to Kraan Y'gal of the XVIth.

Note: Very slow burn project to keep my interest for the hobby alive. Next up, a member of the XVIth.

[GrandMagnus]

Sweeeeeeet.

[RedFred]

HH DA is an awesome scheme.

[Soldier of Dorn]

Ah, good: you're alive, bud. Been wondering when I'd see your name 'round these parts again.

 

Funny that you kick off with some I Legion... I've got a certain something in the works too.

[Dosjetka]

"Contact point six clicks south-east. Hostiles confirmed. Moving in for eradication. Second blood is ours, too."

- Vox transmission from Nahav Drey [centre] to Lance-Centurion Ankovič [not pictured]

Note: Looks like the First Legion held my attention for longer than planned. Hopefully I can keep this momentum going over the next few days and weeks.

+ + + + + +

GrandMagnus & RedFred: Thanks! I hope I won't disappoint.

ThePsycho: Still alive, indeed. And I have managed to reignite the hobby flame in me so we'll see where it leads me this time. Looking forward to seeing you post your current project here on the B&C for all to see. :tu:

[Legio Draconis]

They look great, I'm loving all the first legion work at the moment. 

[Dosjetka]

"The axe is mightier than the sword, Legion traditions be damned."

- Lance-Sergeant Bjan Laere, 1^st Tactical

Note: This one's still a bit of a WIP. Trying to figure out whether or not he needs more explicit 1^st Legion heraldry before painting or not. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

+ + + + + +

Legio Draconis: Thank you! There is indeed plenty of inspiration for me to feed my imagination and ideas with.

EDIT: The previous picture wasn't good, so I took another one and swapped it in.

[Vairocanum]

Excellent stuff! I really like the quote from Bjan, I think if you wanted to add some 1st legion heraldry a small DA icon on the chest would be good. Looking forward to seeing more!

[Dosjetka]

"[...] savage ferocity born of Cthonian blood, and wielded with ferocious intelligence and the matchless instinct of their Primarch. Star systems would often fall to the Legion in a single engagement [...]"

- Unknown Imperial offical [book I: Betrayal]

I've got a Kill Team tournament/event coming up at the beginning of March. Instead of going for a sneaky-sneaky Alpha Legion unit as I was originally planning on doing, I decided to explore the "kill" part of Kill Team a bit more. Combine that with various Sons of Horus bits and pieces I had lying around and, well, here's the first five (out of eight planned models). Feedback appreciated, as always!

[Soldier of Dorn]

Damn, that's a pretty axe-wielder, mate. Just lovely.

 

And that heavy bolter... whew... there's something there, I can't put my finger on it at the moment, but there's definitely something there. :tu:

[Magos Kasen]

These look really, really nice! I like the poses, very natural and effective. 

[Dosjetka]

"Rip out the throat and the limbs will soon stop fidgeting."

Note: The last three members of this Kill Team. Now, since the weather is good, they're going to get their undercoat and then I'll be able to move onto painting them.

+ + + + + + + +

The Psycho: Thank you for your kind words, brother. I'm glad you like those two.

Magos Kasen: Cheers! And I'm glad you like the poses, they're the one aspect which takes the most time when I built all of the above.

[lionofjudah]

Dude on the right... always enjoy the cocked and locked look

[Dosjetka]

Thank you, lionofjudah. I'm quite happy with his pose, too, so I'm glad you like him. :tu:

[Noctem Cultor]

Wow for a second there you almost tricked me into doing some Dark Angels.

Great looking miniatures so far keep it up!

-Noctem

[KBA]

These guys are oozing with style. Echoing psycho's sentiment on the heavy Bolter dude -- he's special :)

[Dosjetka]

As seen here, I have pledged three units to the Warmaster's cause, namely a unit of Legion Veterans (the Kill Team), a CHOOM Volkite Support Squad, and a Rhino. The first two can be seen below (unpainted WIP) while the third shall be worked on within the next few days.

A lot less work has gone into the Support Squad Marines and it shows, but I wanted to get them assembled as quickly as possible so some sacrifices had to be made. Still, a unit is a unit and this one is ready to be painted. :tu:

+ + + + + + +

Noctem: You know you want to... :devil: ;) And thanks!

KBA: Thank you!

[Dagoth Ur]

Well, this look juicy :D
