thunderball44 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'm doing a test model at the moment of an assault vet. Sergeant. I might post some wip pics later today.

thunderball44 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I thought I should post this here rather than the PC&A forum. Obviously, it's a WIP shot of the first ever Vulture of Nekhbet. I'm not pleased with the paint job at the moment (especially the lens and the fact that the heads too blood red, not red goreish. But anyway, Here's the pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/thunderball44/VultureSergeant.jpg Hopefully, more coming soon ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/58077-aegyptus-astartes/page/3/#findComment-688322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderFlintlock Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Very nice! I had a look at the Librarian, v good. Love his force wep, will u be using it through the whole army? Tomb kings scimitars would look cool on sergeants etc. Perhaps some sort of chain-scimitar? A Tomb Kings sword with a chain blade? NEway, very good, I like the multiple chapters idea. Keep up the great work!

TuthmosisHazan Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 all of my top characters. Vet sargeants, librarian, and commanders use the tomb king Khopesh(the curved sword with a hook like point). It helps keep the egyptian feel.

When a signal from the lost planet of Naquada appeared they were sent. WHen they arrived, it was discovered the planet had fallen under the rule of chaos. The black legion contigent which had ruled since Naquada became engulfed by a warp storm had grown lax and finally fell to the imperial marine force. THe most fearsom battle came at the ancient of Mehen. Mehen was a large city which snaked around a large pyramidal shape mountain. The city was almost ten miles wide and total distance around the mountain was almost one hundred miles. It took months to clear the city of the chaos army. They had bunkered down in the city building fortifications for hundreds of years. The people of the planet had tried to invade and take the city, but they were to weak to fight the warriors of chaos. It was under the leadership of Ramsene Hicsos that the sun dogs finally broke through into the main city which made up the top of the mountain. It was at this moment that the people of Naquada showed the Sun Dogs the secret they had hidden from chaos many till their death. Deep in the mount was a manafactorium of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It was on that scene the Sun Dogs chapter became the Guardians of Mehen. They were given the city by the people to protect and use as their new fortress. With the imperium now in control of the planet again tithing began again in earnest. The Guardians of Mehen from that day have protected Naquada from the warpstorm's tendenancy to release chaos forces upon the planet. Home world Naquada is a world rich in the resources for manufacturing. For years before being lost to the storm the planet was one of the most productive manufacturing worlds. Now though do to the strange storm the planet is far brighter than it had been before showing the dark desert sands which cover most of it. Since rediscovery the adeptus mechanicas have returned to run the factory under the mountain. Also many new cities resembling the pyramids of ancient terra have been built to house the populace. The Priest of Mehen the everpresent serpent which embodies all facets of life, which the marines have come to understand is their representation of the emperor have taken to the worship of the serpent as well over the recent years. They have also taken to crafting the weapon known as the khopesh as their main combat weapon for the higher members of the chapter. Do to being seen as the servants of their god, the strongest children are sent to travel to the top of the mountain to be seen by the Chaplains of the chapter with whom they shall spend a year and a day in the dark depths of mehen. In the mountain they face the dark future that awaits them. Those who return steeled against the darkness are inducted, the others become monastery servants. The chapter has never dropped below full capacity, for a reserve of one hundred willing inductees is kept at all times. Organization The chapter is not like that of most chapters. They askew landspeeders and bikes. They much prefer to come to the enemy head on and meet them flesh on flesh and steel on steel. They rely heavily on their assualt and tactical squads. These groups are trained to never given any ground. No Quarter given, none taken. Those who impress in the assualt squads became the "Snake's Head". A special group of tactical soldiers who purposes is protect the head chaplain of the chapter when he enters battle. The five largest cities on the planet each house one company. The other five are stationed at Mehen. Combat Doctrine The combat prowess on prolong assualts are the mainstay of the Guardians of Mehen. Their taking of the city against the Black Legion was a prime example of how they operate. Beliefs The Guardians of Mehen are known for not questioning any order with which would put them in extreme danger. They believe as long as they travel the path Mehen has set before them they shall always be given great power. Thier belief in Mehen has been questioned at times by their marine allies, but their spirit in battle has never been questioned. "They walk with the Emperor" was what one chaplain of the Ultramarines claimed upon seeing them in battle against the Word Bearers. Gene-Seed Their gene-seed is pure imperial fist. Battle-Cry "As long as Mehen travels with us, we travel with power." you.
