Koyote Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 The Chaplain and Death Company can be pretty gross. When this unit assaults, the Chaplain gets five, S5 I6 power weapon attacks that re-roll both 'misses' and 'to wound' rolls. In addition, each DC gets four S5 I5 attacks that re-roll misses. And once my opponent has been obliterated, the Grail allows this unit a 2d6" consolidation move, which either moves it out of harms way or even better, moves it into another enemy squad. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-955788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge of Sanguinius Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I would also question a chaplain being without one of his badges of office (the crozius arcanum), and ditto with the claim that a character slashing his foes with a pair of lightning claws can also realistically carry a grail filled with blood into battle. But then again, I'm pedantic about things that make less than stellar sense fluffwise but aren't prohibited by the rules. :devil: Call me the anti-Edwin :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-955809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I armed by Chaplain with lightning claws because I thought it would add a cool conversion to an army sorely in need of some creative modeling. As for the crozius, I feel that the grail serves as a perfectly suitable badge of office. Finally, when a grail is carried into battle it is not filled with blood -at least not when the battle begins. <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-955913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash3w Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I don't know your relative location koyote, but if you seriously sat down and painted something aweinspiring and elaborate, I think the painting style you have would go along way in a golden demon competition. It's almost cartoony. But not in a bad way at all. It's bright and colorful, not grim and moody like most 40k stuff.

Koyote Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 I finished Brother Captain Icarus about an hour before my game Sunday. I took a shortcut on the blade and I'm not especially happy it. When I have time I will fix it. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/icarus1.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/icarus2.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/icarus3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-958121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 A few years ago I played in a GT that required each player bring 3 messenger models so I added some backpacks, pouches and scrolls from the Mordheim accessory sprue to some otherwise worthless Scouts (shotguns suck) and there you have it, 3 Blood Angel messengers. :blush: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/msg1.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/msg2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-958233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge of Sanguinius Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 As for the crozius, I feel that the grail serves as a perfectly suitable badge of office. Finally, when a grail is carried into battle it is not filled with blood -at least not when the battle begins. :D Heh, I know there's a picture of it on the cover of 3rd ed. BA codex, and one inside 2nd Ed Angels of Death, and it's even valid in the fluff, but I personally can't imagine anyone other than a SHP with the grail. It's their symbol of office, after all - the personification of their role as living bearers of Sanguinius' legacy. I would beg to differ on the issue of the grail not being filled with blood - read the story about the Blood Angels' assault on a traitor marine force (from the Eye of Terror / Black Crusade campaign a couple of years ago) when the Bloodthirster took off the chaplain's arm which was holding the Grail. The Blood Angels were momentarily shocked into inaction at the sight of Sanguinius' blood spilt on the ground, before the chaplain bellowed the Rite of Exsanguination, at which the Death Company went berserk and hacked the Bloodthirster to pieces ;) ... some otherwise worthless Scouts (shotguns suck) Couldn't agree more. I bought a couple in a state of OMG-cool-new-miniatures excitement and really can't see them being used as they are... :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-958400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need to stretch your imagination my friend. ;) Besides, I don't care for SHPs -even less so after reading those Blood Angel novels. I would beg to differ on the issue of the grail not being filled with blood... I'm not going to argue fluff with you as different authors contradict one another all the time. Instead, I suggest we use a practical example to resolve this. Go home tonight, fill up your Sponge Bob Squarepants collectors cup with red Kool-Aid, take your crozius off your mantle and then go into the back yard and fight a few rounds of hand-to-hand combat with some of the neighborhood Khorne Bezerkers. If you survive the battle AND fail to spill a single drop that yummy fake-fruit drink on the Emperor's lawn, I will gladly concede the point. Does this sound fair? :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/70248-task-force-armageddon/page/5/#findComment-958425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge of Sanguinius Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Besides, I don't care for SHPs -even less so after reading those Blood Angel novels. I've avoided them thus far. Sounds like I should continue to avoid them... :blush: SHP: Here you go, Chaplain. Please don't spill it, since it contains the combined blood of we Sanguinary High Priests. Bring it back when you're done with it. Cheers. If you survive the battle AND fail to spill a single drop that yummy fake-fruit juice on the Emperor's lawn, I will gladly concede the point.

Koyote Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 How did you make the fangs for Captain Icarus? I used a plastic Space Wolf head sans the pony tail.

Chaplain Jacob Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Sachiel was cultavated for years by Stele. He wanted him to serve as a second to the false angel; with his authority and all.

Koyote Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks Chaplain Jacob. My technique for painting red power armor can be found HERE. You will need to scroll down some. I have also written a basic painting tutorial that can be found HERE. It's long, but it contains some good basic tips.
