Emperor's Children VI Millennial

[Brother Kraskor]

Greetings fraters! I started the 3rd Legion a while back, but didn't like how they turned out. I realised it was the basing that was the problem, it was way too big and the wrong colour. So I slowly began the process of rebasing and am much happier with them now. Typically, instead of just cracking all the old stuff and then moving on, the odd purchase also managed to slip its way in, so the army is larger than when it started. It's almost there now...!

These are really cool! Dark and moody Emperor's Children. Nice work. I like your Lucius conversion, very different take.

[Pearson73]

Nice to see a darker take on the legion.

Thank you! Try as I could, I just can't bring myself to like the FW Lucius, something about the leather gloves and belts on his chest for me. And also I never plan on using the Laer blade with him so I wanted a version with one clear main weapon rather than two. In my headcanon, his angelic features are how he sees himself owing to a glamour from Slaanesh, when in fact his face is of course a mess of scars.

Thanks very much! I think their story is fascinating, to fall so far from such a height. Part of me wants to start a loyalist counterpart and try and make them a bright reminder of what the legion once was.

Some progress today on a couple of characters:

 

+++HQ+++

 

Praetor on Jetbike

 

 

 

Chaplain

 

 

 

Next up is a Jetbike Command Squad to join the Praetor, then two squads of five Recons. Then my pile of potential is officially empty! Eyeing up a Master of Signals, another Contemptor, and some multi-melta jetbikes after that...!

That's a cracking use of parts on the Praetor on jetbike. A true lord of dark majesty, reminds me of a some of the older Chaos Warriors and Chaos Space Marine art.

Thank you! It is certainly an expensive use of parts...!  My thinking is he was once the Master of the Joust (in my headcanon, the EC had jetbike tournaments), but is now Fulgrim's Executioner.

Hello fraters. I have gone a little overboard on the Kratos here - I like the idea that as the Heresy dragged on, even the Legion's Techmarines were expressing themselves in new and terrible ways.

Kratos

Loving that marbled gold and purple armour, it's a great way to add visual interest to the large armour plates, whilst keeping in touch with the legion aesthetic. The chaotic modifications are a cool touch too.

[Unknown Legionnaire]

Refreshingly different EC, great job.

[Brother Kraskor]

Thank you both, very kind! Hopefully some Recon marines next.

[Brother Kraskor]

And here they are! Just waiting for Palatine blades to come back in stock, need five more with phoenix spears and I have a 3k list to get cracking with!

 

+++Troops+++

 

Recon Marines

 

[Brother Kraskor]

Finally got round to finishing the Jetbike Command squad to go with the Praetor. Power fists and combat shields all round, this is the definition of a glass cannon! But I think the mobility (and more to the point, the aesthetic) is too much to pass up.

Wow those are all some great models! They give a gritty vibe off to me and I really like that! That green for energy is awesome! Fantastic work! 

[Pearson73]

Those bikers are ace, the helmets are particularly nice.

[The Pounder]

This whole thread is amazing! 

Love your Fulgrim.

 

Like @calgar101said very gritty.

[Brother Kraskor]

Thanks all, very kind!
