gav1892 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Finally got my missing wings and could finish the build for my 5 man squad of Erelim...... Probably going to field them as DC for the sake of using them, will have a bit of fluff for them when they are painted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331729-building-the-ixth-legion/page/2/#findComment-4695032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That is an interesting thought for Dante. I may well steal the axe idea next time his axe comes off.

gav1892 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 That is an interesting thought for Dante. I may well steal the axe idea next time his axe comes off. I got sick of it falling off, I literally took it out of the packet and it broke, in the end I just gave up with it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331729-building-the-ixth-legion/page/2/#findComment-4695659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav1892 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hello again everyone, its been a while since I updated my build, need less to say I haven't been slacking, i have been build lots of stuff for the ETL. Now that it is postponed for a year I thought I should really get on with painting my force and getting some fluff written. Next up "The Erelim" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Incoming Data log Transmission +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IXth Legion Blood Angels "The Erelim - The Choir of the Redeemer" The Erelim are a mysterious unit within the ninth legion. Wearing black unadorned armour, the identity of these warriors is known only to the higher echelons of the legion; Lord Dante, Astorath, Corbulo and the Lord of Death. The protectors of the reclusiam of Baal and personal guard to the Redeemer of the Lost these warriors are hardly ever seen outside the shadows and are only ever brought to bear when Astorath demands it or Lord Dante requests it. The sight of these warriors often means a swift death to the enemy and both inspires the legion as well as increasing the number of brothers who fall to the darkness during battle. These warriors are clad in black, however unlike the warriors of the Death Company they show little to no adornments on their armour, a sign of the hidden undertaking they must fulfil by protecting the deepest secrets and relics of the chapter. On selection each warrior is clad not in a helmet but in a mask known as the "Face of Woe" each different and each depicting the face of their Lord Sanguinius with blood red tears streaming down the mask. They also wear winged jump packs, each of which is a relic in its own right and is said to roar with the sound of death on the battlefield. Each member of the Erelim will, once selected, be part of this mysterious choir until their death regardless on how long that is. Once a warrior dies they are interned within the reclusiam and a new member is selected by Astorath and Lord Dante personally. The warriors don't just come from the Blood Angels, but as is often the case from one of the later founding successor chapters. It is said that many a hero of the legion became Erelim after their "death" on the battlefield, with Astorath himself collecting the warrior before returning to Baal so that the ceremony can begin with the inner circle. The record of the warrior is marked as having died gloriously in battle, before Astorath inducts the warrior into The Erelim with the granting of the "Face of Woe" which will forever hide their identity.

gav1892 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hello again brothers....I'm back with another update for my project I have added more Sanguinary Guard in my attempt to build the whole Golden Host. Thats now a third of them finished with another 15 either waiting for Jump Packs or various bits off eBay. So here is my current Golden Host with newbies added. New Squad with banner (No Death Masks) I think it may be time to take a break from painting Gold and get some red down on my 2nd Company Lasuria 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331729-building-the-ixth-legion/page/2/#findComment-4732909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Awesome Erelim and SG! Are the Erelim faces trimmed down Deathmasks painted in flesh colour? So cool. And are those SG jumpers ALL MkII packs?!?! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331729-building-the-ixth-legion/page/2/#findComment-4733396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav1892 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Awesome Erelim and SG! Are the Erelim faces trimmed down Deathmasks painted in flesh colour? So cool. And are those SG jumpers ALL MkII packs?!?! Thanks. Yeah I trimmed the top off the Deathmasks to create a face mask and then painted them a slightly darker skin colour with blood tears running down. The SG packs are all Ashen Circle JP's which makes them uber expensive off eBay. I didn't realise how expensive when I first got some until I decided to do this project.
