[sarabando]

sarabando of the Relictors chapter

[Dominar_Mortis]

Didn't we use to get appointed to a sergeant position?

Yeah kind of weird to be filling spots like Command Squad Brothers, Company Champion and Sergeant based on who asked first.

Originally I had every just submit a marine saying tactical, assualt of heavy and then randomly selected the sgts and other postions as I went along.

THATS how it was done! :) gaah i feel like a numpty ^_^

 

 

++PLEASE CHECK THE LIST AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MAJOR NAME SWAPS AND RANK LOCK-OUTS++

 

 

please forgive my noobish ways. i have reassigned some of those, who have graciously joined this project, whilst trying to keep to the original format. the ones who have been left are remnants of a memory cell that has held on to that vital piece of information in a death grip (damn memory cells.... i'll teach'em real good come friday night ^_^ ) or the higher ranking board members with smoking, slightly warm meltas :P

 

in the interest of keeping this a) fair and B) as close to the original format as possible. just follow these simple points:

 

1 - PM or post notification for intention to join, your mini's name, former chapter and where you would like to be positioned eg. assault, scouts, bike squadron, predator annihilator etc... (this is a first in best dressed option)

 

*NOTE* no requesting of rank, this will be determined a later date via WIP/FINISHED photos AND fluff

 

2 - build, paint and take photos of the mini-you both WIP and finished product from the standard angles and any you deem necessary to show it off

 

3 - post your photos (WIP and FINI) plus your mini's name, former chapter and your accompaning fluff

 

4 - sit back and bask in your own glory, that you have joined the greatest and yet the most mysterious chapter know to the upper reaches of the Imperium

as previously stated these "rules" are adaptable as more light shines from the warp

 

Anyways, I have already painted and assembled (and posted) my Brother Digitus of the Blue Monitors chapter, and he's also on the list...

 

But somehow he was removed completely from the thread i posted him in :P

you'll have to PM joker about that one ;)

 

I've got a question: where should I post me bit of fluff introducing brother Tigron???

right here

 

Do you want us to post our minis now or in another thread?

if you have a previous mini, a WIP mini or a newly finished mini stick'em in here using the points above

 

I'd love to submit a model for this, preferably to fill up to Ordo Malleus Inquisitorial spot. Would this be possible?

sorry, these =][= spots will be open only to mods and admin (and perhaps a talented frater) you can, however, submit in the henchman spot

 

scrap my last one hehehe i was sculpting a combat servitor and put it next to a marine...well for a 1st time with sculpting its closer to INQ scale than 40k

not really an issue as it's yours. but i have stuck you into a tac squad anyway. would like to see some pics of your servitor tho

 

 

again, apologies to those i have had to chop and change around. this is probably not the last either.

 

 

DM :devil:

[Grey Knight]

I've got my mini built to near completion, and yes, i beleive the changes for the command squad are for the better, now lets get some high ranking peoples in here to fill those spots :blink:

[Tigron]

So, here it is... hope it doesn't suck too much!

===================================================================================

 

… The battle was raging, and as a biker, brother Tigron was riding straight towards the enemy’s position, slaloming between corpses, wrecks and craters. Ahead of him was a brother named Krane, formerly of the Warp Spectres. Tigron didn’t know that Chapter, but he could say from the looks of him that they must have been greatly honourable. Except for brother Digitus of the Blue Monitors, he didn’t know the other brothers yet, though he was sure he would shortly come to it. But for now, his thoughts were away, remembering what had brought him here…

 

He came from Subgaria, like all his brothers of the Ice Tigers, a cold and windswept planet upon which the only trees you could find were forests of Subgarian pines… That’s where he had found his soul brother after a 24 days search, a magnificent black tiger, fast as the wind, and silent as dead. That was part of the Chapter customs: go naked on a hunt for a white tiger before you’re placed in a scouts unit, and once you’ve killed it, eat it and wear its fur for the next 13 days. At that point, your name will be revealed, and the soul of the tiger will merge with yours. Black tigers are considered a lucky charm, and the very few that actually killed one, are promised to a higher fate. Tigron was his revealed name, his former name was of no meaning anymore, and his next would be revealed at the day of his death.

 

When he had come back, Chaplain Roujio had read through his scars, and listened to the story of the hunt. He had then listened to his soul brother, and decreated: “this is one that shall hit fast. His destiny is to travel, like his soul brother did, and leave us some day.” Since that time, he had fought countless battles. Then, one day, the High Tiger of Subgaria had called upon him: “Brother, I’ve had a visitor. A visitor that asked for us to send one of ours to the Legio.” Tigron had heard about it. A force made of the best Space Marines living, an army that wouldn’t bend over for anyone, even for the Inquisition. Chapter Master Douka continued: “After discussion with Master of Faith Denkor, your captain, brother Kulas, and Reclusiarch Roujio, we have come to the decision that it shall be you that would bear our colurs…”

 

Tigron, very honoured by this decision, answered: “As you wish, my Lord. I shall be the one to bear proudly and honourably our colours wherever the fight might take me. I shall defeat His enemies in the name of the Legio, but always with all the ferocity of my soul brother, for there lies my strength.” And the very next day, he was sent to the little-known base of the Legio. There, his armour was repainted black, keeping its original blue colour only on his right shoulder pad. And after a few days of getting used to his new home, he got introduced to the rest of his squadron…

 

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when his comm. rang into his ear. The brother-sergeant had decided on which target they should move to…

====================================================================================

 

So, c&c, anyone?

[flakm0nkey]

I'll have to do this too.

 

Im gonna be workin on a persona marine soon as i have come into some money.

 

Brother Sergeant Terrius Mendoza of the Crimson Fists

 

Id be cool to be a tac. sgt. or if not i'll make him a plasma gunner marine or something. Ill have to use my friends digi cam so i can make some wip shots.

[LupoLoopy]

I'd love to submit a model for this, preferably to fill up to Ordo Malleus Inquisitorial spot. Would this be possible?

sorry, these =][= spots will be open only to mods and admin (and perhaps a talented frater) you can, however, submit in the henchman spot

 

 

Coolio, no worries. In that case retract my submission - there's no way an interrogator is going to have access to terminator armour :blink:

[Einstein]

Anyways, I have already painted and assembled (and posted) my Brother Digitus of the Blue Monitors chapter, and he's also on the list...

 

But somehow he was removed completely from the thread i posted him in :D

you'll have to PM joker about that one :lol:

 

I already did, and I have reposted him, as it turned out to be a mistake...

 

Oh, and here's a link, if anyone should be interested. I think I'll spend some of the holiday thinking fluff, as I don't have any.

 

Oh, and the WIP pics will only be of the bike, if I ever come around posting them.

[Hellstrike]

Vincendi - Former Veteran Scout Sgt - Raven Guard - Current assignment Scount Squad Alpha, Legio Blood Company.

 

 

I'll toss my hat back in the ring on this again. The character was born out of the Index Astartes Collaberative Fluff Story as my part of it, so some of the following ties into that story-line.

 

Fluff First, WIP when I get home from work, and then painting when I get to it on the production line

========================================

Vincendi is an old man despite his marine given energy and vigor. Drawn from the home world of the Raven Guard, Deliverance, Vincendi worked the underhive mines as a youth, growing strong in body and spirit. However, he was given to have a kind heart; sharing his rations with the older members of his mining family and helping them pick up the slack of their duties.

 

Until a rival mining family decided to expand their territory and remove his family's stake from their possession. In what was called a freak mining accident, 3/4 of his family was wiped out. The rival family had sabotaged the explosives set up used in clearing a new tunnel, an event that drew a larger than normal work detail. Vincendi and several others where cut off in a side tunnel and attempted to work their way out.

 

The rival family had other plans and sent their hired thugs into the tunnels to remove any survivors. A week long running fight between Vincendi's small band and the gun thugs ended in a dead end tunnel shoot out. When the smoke cleared Vincendi walked out of the tunnels severely wounded using an old shotgun as a crutch. He had vowed vengeance in the blood of the last of his kin.

 

Several months passed as the rival family consolidated their hold on their new land stake. Several mining parties where lost, enough to spread fear through the rest of the mining teams and stretch resources to their breaking point. Rumors of a ghost in the mines, a wraith of the lost family seeking revenge.

 

More months passed, and the family began to suffer. They became indebted to other families as they lost more and more men and material. Finally, in the middle of one of the worst storms in the last century, the ghost struck. When the Arbites investigated the next morning, they found a charnel house full of a family slaughtered by knife and close range

shotgun bursts. Amidst the remains they found the crest of the forgotten family etched into the stock of a worn out shotgun.

 

Vincendi was taken by the Raven Guard that night. As overlords of Deliverance, they oversaw the planet and scanned it for taint, be it Chaos induced or plain human greed. Impressed by his survival skills, as well as his field craft in surgical strikes, the Raven Guard decided that he would make an excellent addition to the Chapter.

 

Vincendi excelled in the skills of a scout for the chapter. Marked out as a rising star, he instead turned down several promotions to a full battle brother over the course of his first 51 years with the legion. His refusals where borderline insubordination, and when pressed he simply stated he would serve the Chapter better amongst the scouts. None could deny his skills and several times he was left where he was amongst the scouts.

 

Eventually his refusals would be taken no longer, and after several weeks of penitent prayer under the careful watch of the Chaplains, Vincendi was elevated to the rank of full battle brother and assigned to a Tactical Squad in the 5th company. 10 years later he was promoted to Sergeant of his squad after leading a counter attack against the hated traitors of the Iron Warrior legion during the Purging of Medina IX. An action that saw his squad leader killed and the unit take 75% casualties in the process, but despite the losses and superior numbers in a fortified bunker, not a single Iron Warrior was left alive.

 

He continued to serve in this capacity for another 25 years before he was inducted into the first company. Here he learned, as all veterans must, how to use the revered tactical dreadnaught armor and as well as proficiency in the art of the Jump Pack as all Raven Guard veterans do. Vincendi however, did not like to use either of these, preferring the relative stealth of his revered Tactical Armor. It was believed amongst his fellow brethren that Vincendi had become attached to the machine spirit of the ancient suit of Mark-4 armor, the only modification of which was a replacement Mark-6 Corvis helm.

 

15 years later, Vincendi was considered as a replacement commander for the 3rd Company shortly after its leader was slain in battle. The Chaplains

+list updated with new names+

 

lets get some high ranking peoples in here to fill those spots

*cough*anymodsbrowsingbuthaventsignedup?*cough* ;)

 

@LupoLoopy: don't let that discourage you. are you still in tho?

 

@Tigron: the chapter's idea for the 25day hunt whilst starving, sounds similar to the chicken stranglers ;)

 

@Einstein: WIP aren't essential, but fun to look at and see the progression of the project

 

 

DM :wub:

[Tigron]

@ - Dominar mortis - : Actually, I took a bit of a few social models I studied in Ethnology:

-The traditionnal native american culture: centuries ago, young Natives had to go on a search for their "totem". It was more a spiritual retreat than a hunt, but then again, it's the adeptus astartes, so... Violence! :wub:

-The traditionnal Stone Age model: though not proved, it is almost certain that at the time, people had no names but their "totem", and were otherwise only called Son or Daughter (young children) and Father or Mother (elders). Furthermore, the children were raised by the whole tribe, and the notion of family as we know it was irrelevant...

 

That's the kind of society I have in my fluff about Subgaria, they're "neo-barbarians", understand: Mad Max, but with little violence and the precepts I enounced above. Maybe I should think of translating my fluff some time soon... As you can see, I like to read, and my cursus at University gives me many interesting readings. On the other hand, I have accounting and statistics classes, which are ;) annoying! Anyway...

 

Besides, what's "Chicken stranglers"???

I'm not discouraged, just having a rethink - if I'm going to paint up a model, I'd rather work with something that gives me a little creative freedom, and as I don't fancy scratch building a retinue member please stick me in a tac squad. I'll get building Brother Garrideus, formerly of the Purple Stars chapter, tommorow.

[-Q-]

Yep, it's all about sticking our own cog into the machine ;)

[Dominar_Mortis]

Besides, what's "Chicken stranglers"???

it's slang for the greatest regiment on the planet SAS and their Australian counterparts SASR. the term is used by people refering to one of the "tests"

 

@LupoLoopy: good stuff. i have added you in

 

 

DM :ph34r:

[Chaptermaster Graymantle]

Before the crash I was approved as a Tech-Marine for the Legio.

The main reasons for this is that my DIY Chapter is high-tech and I used to serve in the army as a Combat engineer (with medic's training) specializing in demolitions and mine clearance.

 

I got the Marine approved on the terms that it had to be a Marine made and trained by the Legio itself (ie. he has no other home Chapter that he hails from) and as such I was given relatively free hands in his colour scheme; seeing as how there was no colour set up for Tech-Marines within the Legio.

 

I made the Marine model but due to the crash it was never posted.

I was wondering if I could get this approved here as well since this is a continuation of the original legio mini-me project?

 

Thanks!

[-Q-]

Sounds like Nephren-Ka went a little psychotic with you :D

Let's see the pic!

[Dominar_Mortis]

@Chaptermaster Graymantle: i knew someone was a techmarine, but couldn't remember who. of course you can re-join, i was just about to post the spot into the list. it is yours of course as i'm trying to keep to the old list as much as posible. would you like some company in the form of a retinue of servitors?

 

 

DM ;)

[Damo1701]

I'd like to join please, I have Vetran Sargeant Brax formerly of the Dark Angels.

 

Fluff:

 

After several successful campaigns Sargeant Brax was inducted to the inner circle, after being told the truth of the chapter, Brax requested inquisitorial duties, initially suspicious, the higher ranks were about to set pennance for the suggestion, until Brax revealed the reasons for the request, in simple, If the Inquisition stumbled accross any of the Fallen, or managed to get any information out of any of the brothers currently serving the Chambers Militant then they could expect serious trouble.

 

After reasoning this through, Brax's superiors agreed, and by recalling one brother serving with the Legio, Brax replaced him.

 

Now, Brax is not just a member of the Legio, but the eyes and ears of his chapter.

 

 

How's that, more detail can be added if needed, pics will follow

 

Cheers

[HellChyld]

you are never recalled from the legio. it's till death in service

[GREY88]

Operative 88 is finished. Where should I post the images?

not bad fella but its worth reading the legio fluff - the links on page one of this thread. there are a few iffy bits in the fluff:

 

first, as mentioned when in the legio its till death do us part.

second, you dont ask to go they pick you, similar to the deathwatch

third, as such we dont answer to the inquisition, though even if we did once in the legio all chapter loyalties are laid aside for the good of the legio, so they dont really have a say in what we do

 

hope that helps you rewrite your fluff

cheers

Servitors are always nice ;)

Im making some cyber mastiffs as close combat servitors even now.

The image and background story will have to wait though as I have no computer right now (borrowing a friends), and wont have access to a computer for a few weeks after this.

Looking forward to joining the Legio properly :D

[Yamez]

I'll do the vindacare assasin.

 

 

Edit: And I'll throw in a flamer-toting marine aswell. Am I allowed to chose the squad?

[HellChyld]

marine first then the assassin

 

as we would only allowed the =][= lap dog to help us if our hands were really tied
