Is the face painted on the Leviathan's left side, meant to depict tattoos and/or ritual scarification the interred battle-brother had in life, and identify him in this manner?

Yes, that is the personal marking of void-brother Harkir before getting internated in a Dreadnought-Shell after being slain in boarding-action against a Mantis-warrior cruiser during the babad-war.

I love a bit of in-army lore. That's ace. Good work!

During the initial assault on the blasted rad-world of Cyraxus III, heavy assault units in the form of primaris aggressors were used for the first recorded time by Carcharodons Astra.

 

It was soon apperant to the senior command of the 2nd and 4th co legiones Astartes charcharodon Astra, that it was impossible to separate the still loyal elements from the elements turned traitor, of the Astra Militarum regiments stationed there.

 

Therefore Tyberos applied the equally brutal and effective strategy of kill on sight, regardless of the target, resulting in enormous casualties in loyal elements of the Cyraxus light cav-regiments. It is reported that Tyberos later remarked “the void-father will sort the loyal from the traitor in the afterlife.”

@longjohnsilver Thanks alot brother!

 

Veteran strike squad designated squad Rikah goes to war with boarding shields and an assortment of blades and hammers. They usually deploy by drop pod or land raider after the companys scout-elements identify weak areas in enemy line. Where squad Rikah goes, death follows.

@Cordova Thanks alot! You keep me motivated!

 

Who in the name of the Emperor is giving them weapons? One with no interest in living i guess.

No worries. I find that motivating others helps me keep moving too!

 

I like the guy on the right. He has a particularly brutal expression.

My mommy always said there is no monsters...but there are.

I particularly like the hammer. It is suitably unnecessary - it looks big enough that even the Marine would struggle to swing it.

Very true! Only this savage for a marine is able to use it! Updates will come tonight! Hopefully some more breachers and maybe the caraphractii-red brethren!
