calgar101 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 It was been a while since reading the Heresy series and I enjoyed the story of the Battle of Dwell, reading up on Henricos and Hibou Khan. Shadrak Meduson is probably one of the most well know SL leaders. I was wondering what other stories or small blurbs exist of Shattered Legion forces, just for curiosity sake. At some point I'll be making a small force of my own, mixed Legions, including some loyalist traitors.

Solution lansalt Posted September 15 Solution Share Posted September 15 Besides those you mention, I think the most relevant Shattered Legions marines were the crew of the Sisypheum, which fought all the way from Isstvan 5 to the Siege. This wiki article is a good starting point to find the books and short stories about them: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/The_Shattered_Legions calgar101 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383991-shattered-legion-warbands/#findComment-6064662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The Shattered Legions main focus was as everybody knows on the IH, Sal & RG. However as hobbyists we are encouraged to tell our own stories in the battles we fight and the models we collect. So far I have only a small force of IH for 30K but the plan is too include a couple of DG & WE to the mix. Now you might ask: Why those? They don´t complement each other very well. Well, that´s the point. The regular opponents of my SM is the Militia and these guys are bottom tier trash cannon fodder. So they need every advantage that they can get. Despite this the DG and WE have a lighter colour scheme than most other Legions. As a consequence all manner of dirt and grime stand out more on them which is perfect as I intend to apply a lot of weathering. One final thing: The WE won´t receive their bunny helmets. This force will be loyalists and the true sons of the Emperor don´t wear silly hats. calgar101 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383991-shattered-legion-warbands/#findComment-6065522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 @Deus_Ex_Machina I really like the sound of your Warband, thank you for sharing. Yeah my eventual aim is to have a Shattered Legion force that has Astartes from all legions; I like all the legions (some more than others) but I am a loyalist. My idea is a small force of Istvan V survivors slowly builds into a large raiding force, encountering survivors of other legions from various engagements. I like the idea of a mixed DG and WE force, the unbreakable rock complemented by the surging tide. I think they will look good together and best of luck with the weathering! Post pictures when you start it please.
