Last of a ragged house.....Rampagers painted!

[Varyn]

The paint work on Angron is really nice, lots of subtle details and weathering. The tattoos on his face look just right and the metallic effect on his armour is spot on.

 

Another fine addition to the army Cadmus

Waiting for my Angron to arrive, will definitely be using this as inspiration great work.

Whatever decision you make we are with you, but you already know….there is only one course of action……..we must end him. Only then will we finally rest and only then will honour be restored to the XIIth…..”

Well, I thought it was about time to start bringing the XIIth legion into 2.0. Think I might have broken the “gentleman’s agreement” regarding dreadnought numbers!

“If history has taught us anything, it is that humanity is destined to repeat itself. At times dragging itself out of the mire of depravity for the briefest of moments, only a to be pulled back to the nature within. 

 

From the Gladiatorial games of the ancient Romanii empire to the Blood pits of the pan pacific empire, men have fought and died for the entertainment of the corrupt nobility of its time. 

 

But we have overcome the dictator and having overthrown the weak and the corrupt, we fight for honour, in pursuit of martial prowess. My father has perfected this art and the path of the rampager is one that many a warrior aspires to tread. But the thirst for victory can never be quenched, and so we are ever driven on until our ambitions are ended by the cold steel of defeat….”

Well, I’ve been saving these FW MKii for something special and with the new rules for rampagers, it had to be done! 
 

I couldn’t get my hands on enough Falax blades but I think the sabres work well and lend themselves to a slightly different “Terran veteran” vibe that seems to fit with my overall concept for Endryd Haars loyalist company. 
 

hope you like em!

Mk II at its finest!

[LameBeard]

The sabres are used as Falax blades in the Exemplary Battles article, so you are in good company. Yours are superior of course - Mk II for the win! (as the young people say)

[Pearson73]

The sabres look ace, nice mix of poses throughout the squad too.

[Varyn]

Another excellent addition to the army Cadmus

Hi chap, love this army. May I ask how you paint your white?

 

Thank you. :)

Well, thanks for all the likes and comments guys.

Finally finished up the talon, hope you like em?

Gorgeous, these three are gonna be a right menace barrelling down the centre.

Those look really amazing. Great to see a full talon painted to such a high standard. Blood for the Blood God!

Small update for the world eaters, thought it would be helpful to run a chaplain with the Rampagers.
 

Strangely the tartaros centurion equipped with a thunder hammer is the same cost as a standard centurion with a thunder hammer. The only disadvantage I can see is gaining bulky, but this is outweighed by an additional wound.
 

Took a while to fill all the runes in and swap the combi melta out! 
 

Hope you like him!

Nice work on that Chaplain, looks really good! Out of curiosity, what GS mix did you use to fill in the runes on the armour? I’ve been filling in the toe ridges on the MkVI tac squad boots, and have had varying results, and was wondering if maybe my green stuff proportions were off. Basically, I make GS with extra yellow component, as it’s softer - but even then, sometimes the GS pops out of the gap that I’m trying to fill. Not sure if you have any advice on that.

Thanks StratoKhan, it’s actually a mixture of 60% standard yellow milliput and 40% greenstuff. You get the best of both products, GS holds it together and makes it easier to work with, milliput sticks better, is water soluble (to some degree) in its malleable state and when dry it can be filed down easily (unlike GS, which has a more rubbery texture when dry).

 

hope that helps!

That Chaplain is awesome, the pose is so cool and the belt icon really cements him as a World Eater.

[LameBeard]

An extraordinary act of patience and skill. Now please let me run to my liber and check this extra wound business - I had no idea!

“We have walked for centuries, under the yoke of oppression, under the false understanding that our altruistic Father has our interests at heart. But we have been used time and again to further the ends of a  man desperate to fulfil an agenda. What is more, our gene father has fallen to the depravity of rebellion, and seeks to undo all that we have achieved in the name of humanity. 

 

But we have a choice. It would seem tyrants stand on either side, but I know where I stand, I will stand on the side of the desperate and the broken….I will stand in the light….I will stand with you brothers, for the protection of the race from which we have become, so far removed….

 

For the emperor!”

Well, I’m quite happy with the way the chappy turned out, looking forward to seeing how he combines with my Rampagers…..

 

Hope you like the paint job!
