Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 In the US Army, a captain is a company commander. "Field grade officers" include majors (who usually serve as staff officers instead of commanding units of their own), lieutenant colonels (who typically serve as battalion commanders), and colonels (who serve as regiment commanders). The rank you give Hultz should depend on her role. Maybe "Captain-Commander" to show she commands the company, instead of serving as a mere staff officer?

Halfpint100 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You could give her the deathmask relic and say the armour is what gives her the 4++ and has autohealing to account for the D3 wounds healed?

To further expand on his, Captain is a Rank, Commander is a position. For instance a company commander's signature block it would read (Using your character): Hultz, Isabella, CPT IG Commander, A Co, Vanitor 501st In the US Military, Commanders wear a special badge to denote their position and thus their command privileges and responsibilities. Your model is distinct enough to not need such minutia. By the way, 'tis an outstanding army you have, and I might have to steal some of your ideas...

Boomslang Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wow, what a really unique army - it certainly looks like no other guard regiment that I've seen. Everything from the conversions/kit bashing all the way down the gritty paint job definitely gives this army a unique identity, certainly a labour of love on your part. Glory to the Vanitor 501st!

brother_b Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Wow I’ve often considered using admech or neophyte bits to spice up the small army I have. You’ve done it far better than I could have imagined. The artwork is stunning and fitting, very cool. I’ve also commissioned artwork and know how special that can be.

Soooo much better than the current representation of the guard in official 40k art.
