War of the False Primarch- Smoke Frog's projects

[Smoke Frog]

+++ Some Things Are Best Let Forgotten +++

 

 

I have been super inspired by the works of folks out on the internet recently when it comes to the War of the False Primarch, and want to show off a few small projects I have been working on and finally feel comfortable enough sharing here. Starting with the Flesh Eaters!

 

 

“They vilify us for our methods, yet nobody questions the results. We are the chosen Scions of Sanguinius, tempered weapons of the Emperor Himself. Our enemies quail with fear even before we draw first blood. They will soon know it is a fear well-founded! Let them fear the Angels of Death. Let them fear what is left of their short future. Let them pray for death. Brothers, we will answer those prayers.”

You find joy in the hunt, Jade Talon. We revel in the carnage.

 

 

My small Flesh Eater warband have been designated as members of the 11th Company by the blue blood-drop on their pauldrons-

 

 

 

...and as members of the 26th squad on their right kneepads:

 

 

It was also fun to include some Jaws of Doom on the beakie marines

Next up... the Iron Guard.

 

 

"Whilst the chapter's gunmetal armour suits its dour heritage, it is often surprising to outsiders that battle-brothers also adorn their armour with colourful heraldry and markings. This tradition harks back to the chapter's now-destroyed homeworld and the ritualistic adoption of neophytes into one of the historic clans."

These three were a mini project, my attempt to make the faux-Iron Warriors scheme more palatable to me. I enjoyed the tidbit of lore where the Iron Guard most loyal to the Primarch repainted the chestplate/helmet of their armor a deep red/rust-orange, and did that for a few of these guys. Also wanted to include plenty hints of heraldry dotted on their pauldron-shield and kneepad. 

 

Iron Guard conduct an early morning assault on a desert outpost-

 

 

Perimeter secured, the Iron Guard ensure security is locked down under the desert sun. 

 

 

 

The other main piece to the Iron Guard project were their mortal auxiliaries! 

 

 

'What came of the actions on Gurro VII was a great moral victory for the humane and noble, but with it almost every reason to call the Imperium 'home' has disappeared. Now, brothers, we are but an iron ring made of wood.'
