Major_Gilbear Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 They look really great all painted up, well done. :) In fact, seeing them almost makes me wish GW had actually made some new RR models since 2E!

In fact, seeing them almost makes me wish GW had actually made some new RR models since 2E! I was actually quite annoyed they took them out of the codex, but glad we can still use them with the index. Here's hoping they won't completely write them out in 9th someday :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343719-vanitor-501st-from-the-ashes-we-rise/page/2/#findComment-5006193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProminusIV Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Banner bearers of the 501st One of the most honorable tasks in the Vanitor 501st is carrying the regimental standard into battle. In short succession come the squad banner bearers of Hive Vanitor. If they fall, and fall they will, their fellow soldiers will go above and beyond to recapture and raise the banners of the 501st. +++ From the ashes we rise +++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343719-vanitor-501st-from-the-ashes-we-rise/page/2/#findComment-5027702 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 So much character in the 501st, we must be due an army shot by now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343719-vanitor-501st-from-the-ashes-we-rise/page/2/#findComment-5027708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 With Nina Steel as sergeant, Charlie squad is ready to crush the enemies of the God-Emperor. Is Charlie Squad an all-female unit, or a mixed gender one? The name "Nina" sounds feminine.

ProminusIV Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 With Nina Steel as sergeant, Charlie squad is ready to crush the enemies of the God-Emperor. Is Charlie Squad an all-female unit, or a mixed gender one? The name "Nina" sounds feminine. My army is mixed gender, with Nina being a female squad sergeant. My upcoming company commander is also female. On Prominus IV all non-heretics are 'welcome' to join the guard.

On Prominus IV all non-heretics are 'welcome' to join the guard. Good to know. Hopefully, she EARNED the rank by demonstrating personal skills and competence. (The fact we're supposed to believe someone as incompetent as Holdo is a "strong female leader" in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi', pisses me off.)

(The fact we're supposed to believe someone as incompetent as Holdo is a "strong female leader" in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi', pisses me off.) Unfortunately there is a lot of honour being a member of the guard under the nobility and families of the upper hive spires. in the 501st, only Sergeant Baldric of beta squad earned his rank through support from the ranks, the rest are all purchased or given ranks through money or power. No way Nina Steel would start her military career as a low-life soldier. Though the Steel family is not powerful enough to get her a position higher than Sergeant. Hive Vanitor, like many other hives in the imperium, is run by power, money and corruption. The value of personal skills and competence is unfortunately not so popular.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm guessing Baldric had a cunning plan to become sergeant? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343719-vanitor-501st-from-the-ashes-we-rise/page/2/#findComment-5029026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Jenkins Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm guessing Baldric had a cunning plan to become sergeant? He's as cunning as a weasel that's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University!

ProminusIV Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I'm guessing Baldric had a cunning plan to become sergeant? Who knows, currently he's confident in his knowledge that his superiors know that if they execute him for bad behaviour, his troops will show the commanding officer a visit that won't end well. So powerstruggle is the name of the game.

WarriorFish Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That's a great conversion; simple kit bashing leading to a unique result :) Look like I need to dig my Greyfax out, I have been wondering what to do with her...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hultz looks great! Is her rank actually "Company Commander," i.e., your regiment uses that term in place of "Captain"? And (an inevitable question, considering the use of Adepta Sororitas components) does she count as wearing power armor, or mere carapace armor?

MrZakalwe Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 In game I'd assume it will count as flak armour because IG lost the ability to give our characters carapace.

In game I'd assume it will count as flak armour because IG lost the ability to give our characters carapace. In game it's flak armor, as for her title, it would possible be field commander, or field captain, front-officer, i'll have to give it a thought. Any suggestions?

duz_ Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The fancy armour why she has a 5++ ;)It's disappointing carpace is all, but gone Scions and Lord Commissars being the only ones I'm aware of with a 4+But thats probably a discussion for elsewhere..
