ProminusIV Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 For our Vogen campaign, i created an infantry squad defending the city of Vogen! They will help out an imperium player if they need a little assistance. Carrying S4 las-carbines, they will pack a punch! The Story: For hundreds of years, the hive city of Vogen has been a destination for traders, merchants and royalty from the gothic sector and beyond. Visiting the renowned pleasure palaces and violent arena games while signing promethium deals worth millions of imperial credits. The city thrived, and the hive spires kept rising, and with their rise the Vogen hive guard were established. Armed with exquisite las-carbines and arco-plate armor, they were a sight to behold... Until the promethium pipes ran dry. With its main income rapidly declining, the city of Vogen fell into a major economic depression. Budgets were cut and the hive guard lost their shine. bright purple banners bleached in the harsh sunlight and metal plate corroded by rad-winds as the void shields were turned off. The spire guard still patrol the streets of Vogen, though only as a shadow of their former glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Very characterful unit, the Greatswords kit has some great components in. Liking the purple too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Very nice. Other than survivors are you taking another provenance? Would love to see some pics of the force commander (unless that's him up front with the axe of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProminusIV Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Very nice. Other than survivors are you taking another provenance? Would love to see some pics of the force commander (unless that's him up front with the axe of course). I have some plans for a commander and possibly an armiger. We'll see where this takes me. It was a lot of fun to build and paint these guys, so they won't be the last of this force :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The old Empire witch hunter could work as a commander, if you're not sure that is. I personally used Coteaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Agreed lots of character here, shows what can be done with a bit of effort and good kit bashing :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter h Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Proof that the Guard is the most adaptive of all the forces in 40K. These are magnificent, and could be house troops for an Imperial Knight. I might have to borrow some of this concept. Hermanista, over in the Admec forum, had used great swords only to build his with ,Skitarii parts.

Inso Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 These are brilliant :) . Lovely bit of kit-bashing and painting :) . It's a shame it's just a squad though :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akrim Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Well done, very impressive banner and kit bash. Very bold color scheme too. With the rifles and armor they give off almost a Conquistador vibe. Love to see more of this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ergonomic Enginseer Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Love the look, the parts mesh so well in this combination. would love to see a company commander in fullplate (maybe run as the armor of Graf Toschenko). Will keep an eye on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProminusIV Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hyped about this new project! I just completed painting Albert Friedhelm, Marshal of the Vogen Hive guard, electorate of the ruling Landsknecht. The Friedhelm family has been in the Landsknecht for more than a hundred generations. They have always had a proud military tradition, with mandatory military training for all the Friedhelm children and enrollment in the Vogen officer school for those gifted in military strategy.Albert was one of those gifted children, graduated with the highest possible grades he quickly moved up the ranks to become the youngest sergeant, captain and finally marshal in the history of Vogen. Furthermore, created a custom data-sheet for my vogen hive guard for the Vogen campaign i'm running!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Marshal Friedhelm's model looks great! The Vogen infantry squad is imaginative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hermit Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I like these quite a bit. Aside from really loving the conversion work, I think that the purple goes really, really well with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProminusIV Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 All looks fantastic! How did you make the field Marshall he certainly looks glorious! It's mostly the empire general kit, with a greatsword head and body. Ad-mech skitarii arms, and a scion command staff. The horse is the empire general horse, with 2 legs chopped off and replaced with skitarii ruststalker legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 What did you use as the basis for that data sheet? It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProminusIV Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 What did you use as the basis for that data sheet? It's awesome. It's home-made basically. Just inspired by other data sheets i've seen come by in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
