The Sons of the Condor

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Long, long time since I've posted on the B&C.

I used to play and collect 40k about a decade ago, some might remember my old Sons of Tyr log and "A Lesser Son of Greater Fathers", my Heresy Ultramarines log. I've been enticed back in to doing something in the 41st millennium again by the advent of the Astartes short (and its sequel), the Secret Level episode and Space Marine II. Absolutely wild growing up with a hobby as niche as Warhammer and now seeing it in the proverbial mainstream.

Anyway, without much ado I've been looking at jumping into some narrative games set in the modern 40k setting. I don't know yet what my group is going to use for a ruleset - we're pretty narrative-heavy and focussed largely on non-GW games - but Kill Team has gathered some interest, not least of all for the smaller scale and the chance to tell some character-focussed stories.

 

My offering will be focussed around a Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes bearing suspiciously familiar heraldry who find themselves on the wrong side of the Cicatrix Maledictum...and more than likely, facing the very real prospect of their own mortality as a host of existential threats pile on their doorstep.

So rage, rage against the dying of the light, and let fly the Sons of the Condor...

Is that your model?  He's gorgeous.

 

That said, the image with the background is a bit fuzzy - for readability, you might want to post the text as text rather than as part of an image.

I remember your heresy Ultramarines.  Ma’ingan looks fantastic! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your Sons of the Condor.

Thanks! Yes he is, wouldn't post others' work without their permission. Yes, the Index sizes up if you click on it but I'd already made it fairly spontaneously so didn't fancy reformatting for a text post. I was going to try and recreate the old Index Astartes style but couldn't find much in the way of templates, so made my own. All in the name of fun, at the end of the day.

Thank you! I'm really enjoying the project so far - it's a little surreal to be in the Dark Millennium again but it's great fun. Ma'ingan's brother Da'rok is next on the paint table:
