Ordo Sinister

[Fajita Fan]

Y’all are doing a much better job at this psi-titan thing than I had planned. :/

[Dark Bjoern]

Now i have to name it. At all 6 are known by name

 

Occedentalis-Chirion

Occedentalis-Damysus

Occedentalis-Eurytus

Occedentalis-Sabaktes

 

Borealis-Thoon

 

Polaris-Albedelach

 

Mine will be from the Chamber Polaris. Albedelach sounds a bit gaelic/irish/scottish. So i started to research a bit. I found some names/terms that could fit.

Fionnlagh (FION-lach) means bright/beautiful warrior

Dorrell means the King´s Gatekeeper

Lachlann (LACH-lahn) means combative

Lailoken was a semi-legendary madman and prophet who lived in the Caledonian Forest in the late 6th century. Could fit for a psi-Titan.

[Fajita Fan]

Mine will be Borealis Phantasma (ghost or spirit representing the ghost in the machine), I love the name Polaris but I don't want a double P sound so Borealis works.  I also don't love names that are a real mouthful.

 

From your list I'd go with Lachlann. 

[Sherrypie]

I'm in a bit of a pickle with the naming, as the four known chamber names obviously refer to the four classic directions of Earth but none of those tickle my fancy quite enough to not do one of my own. It has to keep the same punch with it, though, so to classic philosophy of nature we go. All of those four belong to the sublunary region, distinct from the translunary spheres of heaven, where man had to rise eventually. The Moon also had other canonical uses, so Lunaris, though cool and fittingly short, is out.

 

"Aetheris" could work, indicating the practise of creating these abominations in the eternal unchanging cradle of stars where no light touches the horrors born in the cold embrace of the cosmic vacuum. Wouldn't tie them down into one place, either. "Astralis", "Firmamentis", "Eternis"... Something along those lines.

But most people forget, Big E ordered 25 Warlords organized into 4 Chambers with 5 Warlords each....

[Fajita Fan]

Maybe that’s the reference to the gold Warlords mentioned in “Thousands Sons” that I based my legio on?

[Dark Bjoern]

I think there´s a fifth, much more secret chamber of the Ordo Sinister.

 

And on Prospero it had been the Chamber Occedetalis.

This was the Council of Nikea when the Emperor censured librarians and sorcery. I’m on mobile but I took a picture of the page, it’s in my gallery. Edited April 9, 2020 by Fajita Fan

Great work on the Titan! Especially the shoulders - they came out great with paint.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Titan. I'm surprised at the relatively featureless helmet, though. Why was that chosen? To make the Titan look like an M2-M3 motorcyclist or astronaut?

[noigrim]

I don't like occedentalis it should be occidentalis

I guess to keep it in line with the eldar psi phantom (no tech heresy here proceed magos)

There's an awesome guide today on how to paint the Ordo Sinister badge freehand. Copying it won't be simple, but it's inspiring stuff.

[Dark Bjoern]

Lacking any freehand talents i prefer my version. But it looks wondeful!

[DuskRaider]

It's a gag article announcing Ordo Sinister transfers :P

Even then i would prefer my version. 3D is always better then 2D

[DuskRaider]

Yeah, agree 100%. I don't know why they didn't do that in the first place.

[Mandragola]

Well, this may not be a good time to use freehand (I also prefer our various 3d attempts) but it's still useful in general I think. I've got a vague aspiration to do banners one day, for example.

[Sandlemad]

Chap did an incredible job with the freehand - the step-by-step photos almost look like a nightmarish lion emerging from a black pit - but it does hammer home what an opportunity FW missed by not including small resin lion heads in the kit. Obviously there's some fantastic jobs in this thread alone but like, the Ordo Sinister heraldry is by no means an easy one to sketch in.

[Fajita Fan]

It looks like a wolf to me which makes me think a Witcher themed psi-titan might looks cool by using thunder wolf or Fenrisian wolf heads and having the power fist hold a sword...

[splayedpaintbrush]

and having the power fist hold a sword...

Now that sounds awesome!

 

I've had an order for some of the scibor lion stuff hanging for weeks now. Was actually placed before release of the Psi-Titan, but Covid hasn't helped me there I suppose.

[Fajita Fan]

Well I've got a fist holding an axe and another fist holding a crane but I need find or scratchbuild a sword.

Warlord size? i would look for a Nemesis Dreadknight sword. Should be the right size.

It's not free hand, though. That's literally a transfer, they just used CG to break it down into "steps". Look at the "glint" on the gold, it's the same as the other transfers.

Is it?  It could end up looking way too big.

 

Edit: You know I think that might be the right size but I can't find any on bits sites or eBay unless you all know someone with an extra sword they don't need.

[Sword Brother Adelard]

Trying to get hold of a Nemesis sword on bits sites or eBay is like trying to find the holy grail. They are incredibly sought after bits. I know, as I tried to get one to convert my BT Ben Dread. In the end, I gave up as it was too difficult, expensive and, I didn't actually like the look for a BT sword. So I had a friend 3D print one.
