Guest Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) As some of you may have noticed, I have been relatively gone from the forums. To that I apologize, the current pandemic has been keeping me away and busy. I have decided to keep a record of the creation, birth, and development of my successor chapter. This will range from Lore to model to maybe even TT records. When I started this journey, I wanted to make a new chapter that was more Norse, was a bit more fearsome (think Carcharodons), heavy use of Wolf Priest, all Primaris except for unique units, and psykerless. Yes that's right no psykers. I will also be using Wulfen rules but as my huskarls. This is a skeleton outline and more will come. With that I will leave you with a preview of things to come. UPDATE:May152020 To give a little back story the helmets were based on the Gjermundbu helmet, which might be the only intact Norse helmets ever found it rests in Oslo Museum. The sword is a particular favorite of mine and was based on Ulfbert, which was replicated using ancient blacksmithing technique by Rick Furrer and acquaintance of mine. The shield is a common round shield with a boss. However this is all based on 40k and AdMech, so I wanted it to seem like they had these artifacts and just sort of found a way to cram 40k tech into them. The helmets were fitted over primaris helmets, the sword had a batter pack fitted at the base of the blade, and the shield had 3 shield generators and tech shoved onto the outside rim. So whats next: Well every good Norsemen would have a knife, even children would have a knife. It was common for a Norsemen to go out with a Seax. I will have have work done to make a 40k-ish version of the Seax of Beagnoth or another means of doing so. I may also do some spears, not sure about that. Wolf Priests are another issue I must figure out, I need 2 models but there is only 1 chaplain at this time. Finally I will begin to work on lore, I have been fumbling around with some characters and a rough ideas of the the complicated nature of the chapters beginning, the arrival of the new jarl, and how it is going forth. "Mortals thoughtlessly began to shuffle behind the red clad marines, while the marines instinctively reached for their weapons. A unnatural feeling, as though a frigid presence, began to invade the once warm and serene halls. Rumors had passed down from all manners of life, the most alarming was that the Allfather Einherjar were being used as the executioners axe for the Adeptus Custodes. The events between the Custodes and Brazen Drakes, had cause much outrage and anger. Custodes killing Primaris, many people could not accept that it happened. However Marines killing suspected renegade marines and guardsmen? That was a common occurrence and no one batted and eye. It was no secret there was a surge of renegades and traitor. What were the highest ranking of this obscure chapter doing here, and with a Custodes in the wake, doing here Dante thought." As always, PLEASE leave your suggestions! I always appreciate the help.

Pearson73 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Those swords and helms are cracking, digging the more brutal, gritty theme too.

Guest Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Cool. Did you design the helmets, swords and shields yourself ? I did not, I commissioned them. I have a printer but no skills to make anything that nice lol.

CaptainStabby Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 So, I make a lot... and I mean a lot of Wolf Priests and I've actually actively avoided the Primaris Chaplain as conversion fodder for it. Imo the coat/robe looks goofyand I'm not a fan of the pose in general. For my Primaris one I used the Apothecary and a FW resin torso as the MK3 ones are a bit bulkier then sculpted trim on his greaves and gave him a proper whacky stick. Worked out well.I've seen a few who used the Chaplain and got super good results though. I REALLY like Lord Blackwood's Wolf/Rune Priests and the Eliminators. ymmv ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363865-saga-of-the-allfathers-einherjar-forging-chainaxes/#findComment-5521910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Beard Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 My Brother!!! That is amazing!! I was going to say you stole my idea..... but I am newer and have not posted it. I am building a Phobos heavy army and was going for the Einherjar theme, “the army that appears at the Allfather’s command” My wulfen are my Úlfhedinn and so on. I, as most I gather on here love the true old Norse history and try to tie it in as well. Skal!!

However paying off my credentials (some creds like Ethical Hacker is 5k, Palo Alto FW operator 10-15k!) and I finished in January. So thats when I began to commission parts. Eventually I want to commission my custom jarl caldersson, a massive primaris marine that stands a head taller than most primaris and about a half a head shorter than guilliman. Think Tyberos but primaris sized. I need to find a decent 2D artist that has experience making work for 3D, which is proving difficult.

Guest Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Lord Ragnarok: Sooooo with these assault intercessors your diy designed Viking inspired swords have become even more delicious. Jarl Caldersson: Yes they have lol. Deciding to comission Norse chainsword or not L Ragnarok: How would you “Norse” it up? Jarl Caldersson: Chain.... axes? Lord Ragnarok: Yes! I was to lazy to sketch it up, but this is the rough idea before it goes to become a 3d model. Same idea, mechanics find ancient medieval weapon (in this case a Norse hand axe) and shove 40k tech into it. For this we put a engine from a WE chain axe and then a chainsaw that actually makes sense!

Debauchery101 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Those helmet models look awesome and reminded me of ones I seen in the Amazon anime Vinland Saga...if anyone has Amazon prime you need to watch that show its effing great! Are you going to put some of those helmets on shapeways? These guys are some elite Jomsvikings in the show Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363865-saga-of-the-allfathers-einherjar-forging-chainaxes/#findComment-5532151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to put some of those helmets on shapeways? These guys are some elite Jomsvikings in the show I am still awaiting test fitting, and making sure proportions are correct. They will then be reviewed by some painters to see if they will "paint well". I will then display these items here for further evaluation. I do not plan on selling them myself, I rather have those who have desired for a more Norse SW style to have what they want for cheap/free. I have been in talks of buying the .stl files.

I haven't built any aggressors yet but I have 12.

Guest Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just another really bad photoshop of transforming the Judicar to something more menacing... thinking of call him the hunter or something idk.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Great idea for kitbashing! As for the title, "Russ' Huntsman" is more Fenrisian than "The Hunter". Don't forget to embellish it, e.g., "Whose duty is to pursue and punish cowards who flee the Primarch's justice," "He who brings traitors, witches, the inhuman to justice," "Long arm of the Great Wolf's law," etc. Edited June 4, 2020 by Bjorn Firewalker Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363865-saga-of-the-allfathers-einherjar-forging-chainaxes/#findComment-5535483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
