<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mission
2 – Perimeter Secured<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The air
within the Scriptorum located in Zone 2-4 Sigma still stank of burnt ozone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Zahariel, together with his four brother
knights proceeded to act swiftly in accordance to Azrael’s orders upon boarding
the hulk via the teleportation beacons set up earlier by Squad Dominus and
Ulciscor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of the Knights deployed, Zahariel
was tasked to stay behind to rendezvous with Sergeant Alessio’s squad as the mission
he was about to embark would not be possible without any support from members
within the First Company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alessio
was honored when Master Belial assigned his squad to back up a member of the
Knights, given he had only recently been promoted to Sergeant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was eager to prove his worth to a senior
member of the Inner Circle and the squad under his leadership could feel the sergeant’s
uneasiness from his usual cool and collected demeanor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During their transit from The Rock to the
hulk aboard the torpedo, not a single word was spoken between the Terminators,
until Brother Titus broke the silence as usual.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“What
troubles you, brother sergeant?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I
feel that there’s something more sinister at hand here, Titus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be mindful that leadership for this
engagement falls on our brother Knights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Know our places and remember that Knight Zahariel’s command represents
direct order from Grand Master Azrael.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay
sharp brothers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
boarding torpedo accelerated to maximum velocity as it prepared to breach the
space hulk’s adamantium hull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The squad
aboard braced themselves for the impact and if it wasn’t for their terminator
plates and gene-forged physiology, the impact would have been devastating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As
the torpedo ramp fully descended, Sergeant Alessio was the first to step foot
onto the hulk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Glad
you have made it, Sergeant Alessio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
could use your help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Master Belial
speaks highly of you”, greeted Zahariel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As
Squad Ulciscor and Knight Mevius travelled deeper into the belly of the hulk,
they came across a growing mass of Genestealers corpses strewn across the corridors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The xenos carcasses were riddled with bolter
wounds and some with the unmistakable blows delivered from power weapons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given Squad Ulciscor have been in close
communication with Dominus, they were fully aware of each other’s positions and
therefore quickly ruled out that the kills were delivered by the other
Deathwing Squad onboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On closer
examination, it seemed that the sinister aliens have been dead for at least a
number of days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Any

before us?” asked Brother Sarga.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Unlikely,
no other Legiones Astartes vessels are even remotely close to this sector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The distress signal received would have
traveled the least distance to reach The Rock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just
as the squad was about to move on ahead, Brother Mendrion caught a glimpse of something
caught by the tip of one of the Genestealers’ razor-sharp talons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He blink clicked and zoomed closer to the
object and realized that it was some sort of fabric, similar to the ceremonial
robes worn typically by veterans from the First Legion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Medrion kneeled down, reached out with his
deactivated power fist and picked up the ragged piece of robe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Upper stratosphere cleared, wind sheer effect on pod increased to .75fps. Trajectory altered, recalculated route will result in minor impact with ground structure. Hazard level: minimal.<br />
9 seconds...<br />
Squad status: green light ten by ten. Armour machine spirits at maximum efficiency and responsiveness. Deltrian shows minor heightened state in the amygdala, standard drop response for him, he is restless for battle.<br />
8 seconds...<br />
Environmental threat level increased to category alpha 5, xenos pollutants now fully altering biological makeup of planet's surface. Increased levels of acidity, increased airborne spore count by ten billion parts per cubic inch, decreased visibility by 63.2% from baseline. Adjust accordingly.<br />
7 seconds...<br />
Topographic layout of drop-site, magnification at 2x, increase magnification to 8x. Enemy formations are shifting, scattering, aware of incoming threat. Lesser organisms swarming closer around synaptic lynch-pins. Forming defensive cordons, as expected. Primary target 5.5m closer from original target location.<br />
6 seconds...<br />
Biological data-file on lesser tyranid organism designated genus: Gauntii Virago. 6 meters long nose to tail, 6 limbs four hoofed two clawed, multi-lung system enclosed in hardened carapace, single heart located center mass. Weapon mutation designated fleshborer. Weak points: center face, limbs and neck. Threat level: minimal.<br />
5 seconds...<br />
Biological data-file on primary target designated genus: Tyranicus Gladius Subterranius. 40 meters long nose to tail, 6 limbs all bladed. Multi-lung redundant systems enclosed in bonded exoskeleton, multi-heart center and lower mass. Weapon mutation bio-electric. Weak points: lower abdomen, limb joints, underside tail section and underside jaw. Threat level: extremis.<br />
4 seconds...<br />
Ammunition recheck, full compliment. Squad ammunition recheck, full compliment. Squad heavy weapon lascannon charge maximum.<br />

Powerfist charging cycle initiated. Deployment pattern epsilon confirmed.<br />
2 seconds...<br />
Low-light infrared spectrum activated. Impact with ground structure registered. Slight decrease in pod stability.<br />
1 second...<br />
Anti-grav suspensors ignite. Retro boosters fire. "Courage and honour!" roars squad Aurelian.<br />
<br />
The drop pod of squad Aurelian tears out of the heavens like a twenty ton adamantium meteor leaving a dirty smear of exhaust trailing in its wake. In its final seconds before impact it hammers through the upper fifteen floors of a ruined manufactorum installation. Obliterating each level, support beams groan and give way bringing the innards of the entire structure crashing down around the pod in a shower of fine debris and bilious dust.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:01]<br />
Explosive bolts fire from the drop pods doors, slamming them down instantly. Ten grav harnesses disengage, ten motionless ceramite statues instantly spring to life, ten weapons are instantly drawn and firing. The dust of impact boils away in a tidal wave as squad Aurelian disembarks and the bolt rounds begin to fly. The mission clock has started.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:02]<br />
"Heavy concentration to your 3 o'clock Gaius" booms Aurelian to his battle-brother. Immediately Gaius checks his aim and puts a double burst of rounds into the knot of termagants, each bolt finding a mark. It's hard to miss the enemy are so tightly packed together.<br />
"12 o'clock high" calls out Cicero as a surge of termagants pour out from an upper level of the ruins around them. He deals with them almost as fast as he calls the danger out.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:03]<br />
"Watch your left Deltrian" warns Idaeus, "left side, pillar, in 2 seconds". As predicted in moments a fresh wave of termagants come racing around a support column in vain attempt to overwhelm Deltrian. "Confirmed" nods Deltrian as he switches from single shot to full auto and pulps them in an explosion of gore and viscera.<br />
On all sides of the drop pod the same scene plays out in a matter of heartbeats, the immediate vicinity is laid to waste in a barrage of bolter fire, a hail of metal that culls every xenos beast for 30 meters.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:06]<br />
"Beta formation on me" orders Aurelian across the vox and squad instantly responds, the flanks folding around to form an arrowhead around their sergeant. The tyranids are reeling from the initial shock of the assault but they recover just as quickly. Here and there a tendril of the lesser xenos still surge forward, probing, testing the resolve of the space marines. With metronomic regularity and with clinical precision they are brought down. It is time to move before the initiative is lost.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:08]<br />
"Primary target closing, 17.8 meters on the other side of that wall", Aurelian points with his outstretched powerfist "bring it down Vipus".<br />
With a nod of confirmation Vipus takes a knee, in one fluid motion he brings his lascannon to bear on the manufactorum's outer wall. But before he can fire there is a titanic roar of bestial ferocity and the entire facade explodes inwards. Ten armoured ceramite statues do not even flinch, they weather the onslaught of flying debris without moving, stone chips ricocheting from their armour, their weapons held ready.<br />
"Contact front, primary target confirmed!" bellows Aurelian as their quarry is revealed. Tyranicus Gladius Subterranius, a trygon prime. It charges.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:10]<br />
Without even an order being required they open fire simultaneously, bolt guns kick and rage on full auto. Vipus already braced for firing his lascannon checks his aim and targets one of the main bladed limbs of the beast. He pulls the trigger. A lance of pure energy spears the trygon cutting through flesh and bone and sinew before punching through the other side. The trygon brays in pain as the limb is severed but it does not slow. If anything it comes at them faster and with renewed hatred. If hatred from such an alien monstrosity is even possible.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:12]<br />
The other bladed limbs lash out, their reach frightening. Cicero is hit across the chest, he dies instantly as he comes apart from the force of the blow. Another limb catches Themis on the right pauldron, it cuts through the armour as if it were paper and tears his arm clean off. Trajan is almost decapitated by another but he rolls away at the last moment.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:14]<br />
"Spread out, dispersal pattern delta" orders Aurelian calmly dispite the chaos caused by the trygon and dispite watching Cicero slaughtered moments before. Quintillus and Trajan drop back behind some ancient machinery, Numerian continues his sprint and rolls beneath another scything blade limb before sliding into cover behind a burned out vehicle chassis. Idaeus and Gaius back up a few paces still firing controlled bursts at highlighted weak points on the trygon's torso. Vipus, the furthest away and closest to the drop pod still remains on bended knee and is already lining up another shot with his lascannon as the charge builds.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:17]<br />
In a lightning fast flurry of motion the trygon pounces left at Numerian as he goes past. The quick motion throws off Vipus' aim and the lascannon beam glances off the tyranid's carapace, scorching it but not wounding. Vipus curses, he will atone for that lapse in concentration later. The vehicle Numerian was using for cover is shouldered aside by the trygon, the impact sends him sprawling. Numerian is on his back, his bolter firing up at the monster taking fist sized chunks from its chest but seemingly having little or no effect. Black ichor pumps from the multiple wounds as the trygon roars once before tearing at Numerian with its fang filled maw. One cry of frustrated rage is all that is heard from Numerian across the vox before he too is gone.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:21]<br />
The squads bolters continue to fire, now scattered around the interior of the structure but the rate of attrition is too high. It is only moments into the engagement but it feels like a lifetime. The space marines are doing their job, Aurelian can see the damage being inflicted on the trygon is slow but steady. The data feed in his helm tells him the trygon won't survive the punishment much longer. But it will be long enough for it to kill more of his battle-brothers. That is unacceptable, this needs to be ended now. "Quintillus. Trajan. Intensify fire on it's right flank now" orders Aurelian as he holsters his pistol and unclamps the melta bomb at his waist.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:24]<br />
Crouched low behind a chunk of masonry Aurelian grips the heavy melta charge in his fist and primes it, he has 10 seconds. Deltrian is up and firing, covering his squad leader. Aurelian takes one breath, the trygon roars again and turns to face the barrage of bolter fire now blazing from brothers Quintillus and Trajan. It is the window Aurelian needs. In a flash he is up and over the block of stone, momentarily weightless as he vaults the barricade then his boots hit the ground again and he is sprinting. 6.5 meters is all he has to cross, if the trygon spots him now he is finished. But his battle-brothers have distracted it well. Trajan's status rune flashes red then winks out. Almost as quickly Quintillus shows up as critical amber. Aurelian briefly registers this fresh information but it is irrelevant. 2 meters away, Aurelian plants a boot and launches himself into the air, his enhanced trans-human physique combined with his armours servos make it effortless. He brings his powerfist back ready to strike.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:26]<br />
At the last moment the trygon must catch a glimpse of Aurelian as it begins to snap its head around. But its too late, Aurelian slams into the beast's neck with the force of a meteor. The powerfist pistons once as he hits, it lands a devastating blow that pulverizes the weaker flesh of the trygons physiology. The displacement field of the powerfist obliterating muscle and sinew while the force of the impact itself tears through the meat. The trygon whirls around madly, desperately trying to shake the space marine sergeant from it but Aurelian has a vice like hold and is not letting go.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:27]<br />
7 seconds until melta detonation. With his other hand Aurelian swings the melta charge around in a wide arc. The trygon thrashes and rages but Aurelian is unshakable. He brings the demolition charge round and aims for the maw of serrated blades that had moments ago devoured Numerian. He releases his grip, the bomb leaves his gauntlet and drops into the blackness of the trygon's throat. In the same instant Aurelian releases his hold on the xenos monstrosity and launches himself backwards.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:29]<br />
He sails backwards through the air watching the trygon spin towards him, a bladed limb already whirling around to eviscerate him. But then an incandescent beam of energy lances out from somewhere behind him and the limb is severed. Vipus has excelled himself with that shot thinks Aurelian.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:31]<br />
The sergeant hits the ground on his back, inertial dampers take the shock out of the impact and in the same motion he rolls and is up on his feet still sliding backwards. The trygon rears up still enraged from the loss of another limb, it roars again, this time more in pain and defiance than anything else. Aurelian does not hesitate, he spins and launches himself back over the block of masonry were Deltrian covers his retreat.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:33]<br />
"Take cover!" yells Aurelian and the rest of his squad drop down and shield themselves from the imminent blast. There is an agonizingly long pause. The trygon takes begins to advance again. For a moment Aurelian considers a firing mechanism malfunction with the melta bomb. Already he is starting to plan for such an eventuality and is about to issue fresh orders when a miniature sun is momentarily created within the heart of the creature. The trygon's chest glows white hot for a fraction of a second before coming apart. Tissue and bone becomes molten before being engulfed in a fireball of total destruction. One moment the living incarnation of mankind's destruction stands horrifyingly before them, the next there is a detonation of gore. Not so much as chunks of the tyranid remain, as most is vaporized in an instant.<br />
<br />
[Mark 00:35]<br />
"Primary target destroyed" confirms Aurelian rising from cover. "Squad, alpha formation on my postion. Moving on to secondary objectives".

</span>Chief
Librarian Ezekiel received a distressed call via astropathic communication
signaling a massive space hulk sighting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Traveling dangerously close to a commercial route used for industrial
trading by the Imperium, complete annihilation through fire would be disastrous
as the debris left in its destruction may hit and destroy numerous merchant
ships not built for space warfare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
most disturbing aspect was that the communication was immediately lost after
transmission and never recovered, despite the combined efforts of the Chief
Librarian, senior Epistolaries as well as the other astropaths and psykers
aboard The Rock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only was psychic
communication rendered impossible, but the use of their latent powers became

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
psychic disturbance was immediately brought to Supreme Grand Master Azrael’s
attention, who promptly decided it was in the Angel’s best interest to
investigate the matter directly, via dispatching a number of squads from the
Deathwing Company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the interior
visual/layout of the space hulk impossible to unveil from The Rock, Azrael’s
command was for the squads to breach the derelict vessel via boarding torpedoes
directly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once inside, their primary
mission were to establish coordinates that were deemed safe enough for teleport
homers to be set up such that members from the Deathwing Knights may join force
and provide some much needed close-combat support and on the ground leadership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

They all said (they being Ben) you couldn't dry-brush marines but I showed them! So here goes...<br />
<br />
<br />
First of I start by basecoating them white in order to bring out the yellow more. Then I dry-brush Averland Sunset.<br />

I had then tried drybrushing a 'Model Color' Flat Yellow over the top before washing with Casandora Yellow. But I didn't like it as the darker recesses were more orangey and not dark enough. So I abandoned this route. Even though the positives were the yellow ended up very even and clean looking and the whole process took very little time and was easy to do.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To rescue the models I quickly washed them with Agrax Earthshade which got the recesses dark brown enough which was what I was going for. However the model started to look messy so I had to begin layering up via dry-brushing the Flat Yellow colour again. Because these are test models they are probably always going to look a bit dodgy from now on but I'm just trying to get them back to a decent level.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next stage of the evolution was realizing that the yellow was too "lemoney" so I dry-brushed a quick layer of Yriel Yellow over the top on the leading shoulder guard. This achieved the Imperial Fist colour I was looking for and because it was yet another dry-brushed layer it has made the yellow quite smooth and solid and not streaky. It still doesn't look great because its still an build up of test methods but it's now passable.</div>

<br /></div>
Knowing what I know now I have done these three - beginning with the first layer of Averland Sunset and then washed with Agrax Earthshade.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The next step is to dry-brush the Yriel Yellow layer by layer over the top until the colour is bright enough and not too streaky. The streaky effect will be later nullified by weather/battle damaging the armour.<br />

It's a pretty simple and quick process that ends in a decently good table top quality level model.<br />
<br />
Here they are constructed first - a few more scrolls and scripture parchments will be added later. I have used a mix of Chaos Terminators and Grey Knight bits (thanks to Sam for providing the halberds, tabards and arms). The heads are a mix of loyalist power armour heads and chaos sorcerer helmets (these needed to be trimmed in order to fit into the aperture).<br />

Back in the day, when Leman Russ was an Imperial Guard general and when marines came with beaks, I created my own chapter of Space Marines. They weren't much more than a colour scheme (blue and yellow) and a name - The Custodians - which sounded cool because it seemed like they were in charge of guarding something - I never really thought what. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, that army played a few games before sitting in a box for twenty or so years, and then getting taken out to sell on ebay about 3 years ago.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I decided to get that chapter back up and running, and have started a true-scale project. Whilst I was working on that I thought I should find out who these guys were, and that would help me with the modeling and basing, and deciding what kind of chapter they were. </div>

I'd recently come across Deathwatch, from Fantasy Flight Games, and there is an excellent chapter-creation table in <a href="http://store.fantasyflightgames.com/productdetails.cfm?SKU=DW04">Deathwatch Rites of Battle</a>, that I thought would be the best place to start. Now, I could have gone through this and picked out the most applicable things, but it seemed more fun and more interesting to let the Emperor's Tarot (the Dice Gods) decide. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I sat down with my D100 and started rolling. And this is what I came up with: a bare skeleton upon which to base the fluff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Custodians were formed to counter a threat in the 38th Millennium, just prior to the Great Cull of 020.M37</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are rare in being based on gene-seed proginated from the Salamanders</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Missing zygote: their gene-seed is notable in that they suffer from inactive Bletchers Glands </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Demeanor: Suffer not the work of Heretics - the teachings of the chapter focus on crimes against humanity committed by schematics and heretics. This makes them intolerant of unusual expressions of the Imperial Cult</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chapter flaw - We stand alone: the battle brothers are either shunned by other Imperial forces, or they themselves shun contact</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shock and Awe: enemies are precluded by a bombardment staged by strike vessels or battle barges. So effective is this strategy that the mere appearance of their vessels in a system is sufficient to bring about the enemy's submission. Some chapters have become too skilled at this, and cause more devastation than necessary. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Their greatest chapter hero was a Master of Sanctity who slew a daemon prince </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
they are a fleet based chapter: with only one main vessel</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are currently under strength</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are drawn from a temperate home world, but they maintain only distant contact with that world. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are a divergent chapter</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honour the Ancestors - the chapter worships one of its own heroes above all others. Although the Emperor and Primarch are likely to be fully acknowledged, this hero is regarded as an intercessional figure who sits at the right hand of the emperor.' </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tyranids are their most notable foe</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's an interesting list, and it's given me some great ideas - probably the most intriguing is the fact that as a fleet based chapter, they only have one significant space vessel. What and why could that be? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is it related to the fact that they are under-strength? or that they have come into contact with Tyranids? A lot of interesting details, which I'll work into my story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It’s been a good season for him and his crew. A combination of ample rainfall with just the right level of humidity resulted in an above average yield for his crops. He takes a drink of water, and relishes in its sweetness. “You’re one lucky bastard,” he said softly to himself. Life has been good ever since Oll settled down in one of the recent planetary systems to be discovered and assimilated into the ever expanding Imperium of Man. As a primary agricultural world, Joro Secondus quickly became a valuable resource given the nutrient rich landscape, accommodating climate, abundance supply in precious minerals and a biosphere that resembled ancient Terra. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
When news had travelled back to the Adeptus Administratum on the discovery of the Joro System, standard protocols were initiated by the division responsible for the directing/assigning of new denizens for initial planetary colonization. Oll had always considered himself an old-fashioned man, a man who should have belonged on a farm toiling in the fields. For this reason alone Joro Secondus was a perfect job for Oll. A chance to experience once again how simple life can be. An uneventful, dull and routine-filled life in a time of inter-galactic adventures, discoveries and conflicts was something of a paradise to him. He had high hopes that this will be a chance for him to put away the horrendous images that has haunted him in his dreams over the last 10,000 years. He remembers them in his nightmares exactly as they were on Calth. The abhorrent parody of men, with their wide-gaping mouths filled with yellowish-brown jagged teeth, pallid flesh, decaying stench and diseased infested stomachs. And then there were those lithely, to the point of almost being considered sensual daemonic fiends with their ghoulish moans and their sickle-shaped claws. As a Perpetual, Oll Persson has lived through many seemingly impossible ordeals. Some he didn’t even make it through but he always re-incarnated. Such was the gift as well as curse of his kind, to serve the Imperium willingly, or otherwise. <br />
<br />
Oll takes out a small, circular tin from his back pocket and removes the lid. He takes a pinch of tobacco leaves from the container and methodically begins to roll himself a cigarette. Throughout his countless re-incarnations, Oll have seen and experienced a great deal and have tried many vices but he still prefers his tobacco smoke over the more common Lho-sticks. As John Grammaticus had said to Oll before, it was a sign of Oll’s reluctance to let go of the old days and an emotional glitch that needs to be resolved. Then again, John did have a tendency to remind Oll of his shortcomings. <br />
<br />
As he lights up his cigarette, he catches Isaac and Isabella outside the front porch tossing and kicking hay at servitor Graft as it diligently carried out its tasks of packing, scanning, cataloguing and filling the week’s harvest to the loader for delivery to the central shipyard for delivery. He smile, takes a deep drag and skilfully exhales donut-shaped smoke that ascended until it blended in with the clouds. The two young children were twins and natives, birthed and raised on Joro Secondus soil eight months after their father had gone missing. Oll knew both their parents well. They were engineers and had travelled together with him as a group during the early settlement stage. Given their common expertise and profession, many of the assignments related to the development of a sustainable energy source were allotted to them and the resulting time spent together gradually evolved from a working relationship into romance. Five years ago (Terran standard time) during what should have been a routine inspection of the central power station, Brinson van der Veltz disappeared. At about the same time, contact with the Administratum started to become unstable. Communication was frequently broken up by static or even the occasional blitz of white noise. <br />
<br />
The task was assigned to both Brinson and his wife Torin. Strangely, it was Torin who came forward to report that her husband had gone missing. When reminded that she should have been at the power station with him the previous night, she seemed surprised. She claimed that she had been sound asleep in her chambers with no recollection of conducting the inspection with her husband at the scheduled time. A search party was formed and continued until Torin gave birth to the twins at which point some began to postulate that perhaps when Brinson found out Torin was pregnant, he couldn’t handle the responsibility of being a father so decided to disappear for good. Those who knew him, and most of the settlers did, knew that he was a resourceful individual and chances of him being lost was unlikely. The inhabitants have not had to fear for their safety during their time spent on Joro Secondus, so a fatal encounter with a hostile local life form seemed remote. Or was it?<br />
<br />
Ever since Brinson had gone missing, something about Torin changed. The change took place gradually, barely noticeable at first. However, recently she seemed more and more distant. She continued her engineering research diligently, but was no longer the cheerful and optimistic woman that Oll as well as the rest of the settlers knew her to be. As the twins aged, people around the colony helped out wherever they can, knowing how difficult it must be for Torin to raised two young children up by herself. <br />
<br />
In the middle of the night, Torin can be found outside her chambers staring up into the sky with glassy eyes as if waiting patiently for the return of Brinson. Or was she waiting for the arrival of something else? <br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
“Everything is almost good to go over on my end,” Torin voxed Brinson as she recorded the last of the outputs from the pressure gauge and made recalibration adjustments to the thermal conductors. “The auxiliary power source is stable and at the current output level we shouldn’t experience any outage. What about the ion accelerators, darling? Did you manage to figure out what caused the spike in radiation?” <br />
<br />
All the feedback Torin received was static.<br />
<br />
“Brinson, do you copy?” Torin tried again.<br />
<br />
Once again she was answered with static and silence.<br />
<br />
As Torin was about to vox him again, she was grabbed by the waist from behind and pulled into Brinson’s arms as he gently kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear, “Gets you every time, love. Oh, and the spike was just a glitch, nothing more to worry about.”<br />
<br />
“One of these days, you just wait. It’ll get you back. Let’s get out of here so we can have a little rest before the sun is up,” said Torin as she gave Brinson a playful shove. <br />
<br />
“I’m too alert to ever get snuck up on like that, sweetheart! Legionary senses!” retorted Brinson as he pointed his finger to his temple. They both laughed. Brinson helped Torin grabbed the rest of their equipment while she finished up with the diagnostic testing. <br />
<br />
“Meet you at the front gate. Don’t make me wait for you until sunrise again!” shouted Brinson as he whistled an ancient tune from Terra, La Cucaracha on his way out. As he approached their civilian speeder to load up their equipment, he felt himself being pulled by the waist lightly. What Brinson made out as arms slithered underneath his shirt and wrapped around him completely into an embrace and he caught a very distinctive smell, musky but not pungent. “O my, guess my Astartes superpowers are of no use to me after all. I didn’t know you were so stealthy dar-arrghhhh-urrggghh!” <br />
<br />
As Brinson laid on his back, hands clutching the multiple stab wounds suffered, he felt his entire body heating up as if a nuclear reactor has been placed within his chest cavity and was about to overheat. All was a blur, as the toxins injected travelled rapidly throughout his body and finally up to his brain impairing his vision. In his last moments, all he made out was a dark, cloudy haze surrounding his assailant. It was huge, even in its slightly hunched posture it was easily two to three times the height of an Astartes in full battle plates. Tentacles whipped from every direction and it seemed to be slithering away from him and towards the direction of the reactor plant. Brinson made a last desperate attempt to shout a warning to Torin, but all that came out from his mouth was a bloody froth-like mixture, liquefied innards vomited forward as the alien chemicals digested the engineer from the inside out.<br />
<br />
Satisfied that her work had been completed, Torin turned to leave but caught something moving from the corner of her eye. She looked into the direction of the reservoir tankers, blinked twice, rubbed her eyes and sighed. “Got to take it easy with these mid-night shifts girl,” she muttered to herself. Just as she continued to walk towards the exit, she saw it again. Whatever it was, if it was anything at all, moved with a swiftness and agility that didn’t seem natural. <br />
<br />
“Hello? Is anyone there? This better not be you Brinson! Stop messing around and let’s get going,” said Torin out loud. She tried to remain calm but suddenly had a strange foreboding that something has gone awry. Instantly her mind was consumed by thoughts of misery and hopelessness. Images of total annihilation of all the effort they have put into building Joro Secondus into a habitable place for mankind flashed before her. Something was here to destroy them, and Torin felt an aura of despair looming over her very spirit. She crumbled to the floor, the psychic assault too much for her feeble mind to bear. She crawled into a foetal position and wept. <br />
<br />
Through her tear-soaked eyes, she saw it: humanoid in form, with sinewy arms and legs that ended with either a sharp blade or talons that looked equally lethal. Its head was bulbous, with eyes exerting a great sense of intelligence and cunning coupled with a maw lined with rows of razor-edged teeth and a tongue that was continuously flicking, probing, judging and sensing. <br />
<br />
With lightning reflex, it was instantly face-to-face with Torin. She tried to scream, but already its tongue was deep inside her throat. Then everything went dark…..Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273933088762364693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629565123529460399.post-66381515483944707292013-05-14T18:03:00.002+08:002013-05-14T18:03:59.811+08:00The coming of Hive Fleet BlattodeaHey SnS folks... as I prepare to muster up my Tyranids swarm, I thought it would be cool to come up with a bit of background fluff for them. I wanted it to be a small encounter, made up of a small reconnaissance brood of Genestealers from Hive Fleet Blattodea. For those who do not know, blattodea is an order of insects, more commonly known as cockroaches. Stay tuned.......Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08273933088762364693noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629565123529460399.post-42738846641892021492013-04-30T09:44:00.000+08:002013-04-30T09:44:44.397+08:00Heldrake WIPFirst off, this was a very good kit to put together: only two sprues and for the most part the sections had wide surface areas to bond to each other. The only bit that was kind of awkward was the middle wing vane as the ball joint joining it to the main body was slightly too small and therefore the glue wouldn't always take and support the weight. Other than that though it required very little assembly for what appears to be a very complex model.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this is just a WIP at the moment and more completed photos will go up as it progresses...<br />

Tibero, Tiriax and Ethrion equipped with the latest Mk.VIII 'Errant' armour variant with modified Mk. IV 'Maximus' helms. Tiriax however prefers the increased protection that the older but more heavily armoured 'Corvus' pattern leg provides.<br />

Added white strips to them all to make them a little more interesting than just plan blue.<br />
<br />
The white on the razorbacks and the vindicators still need cleaning up as they are just rough washed at the moment.<br />

<br />
The blue is a little darker than previously so they have a bit more of a grim dark feel about them, but the style is still the same cell shaded effect.<br />
<br />
First on the block are my fast attack units: all my assault marines, bike squadrons and storm talon. Here's a taster...<br />

<br />
Not going to have daemons as a primary detachment as, well let's be honest, my Thousand Sons have to be the ones in control of the warp not the other way around!<br />

A lot of my painting of late has been Bretonnians which obviously don't fit here on a 40k blog! However, I saw this Inquisitor model in my LGS and just had to get it and paint it.<br />
<br />
I reckon with the upcoming release of Tau (and Eldar at some point in the near but still murky future) I would classify him as a member of the Ordo Xenos. Just need some Deathwatch marines to accompany him in a blacked out Stormraven and I'll be set.<br />

Since the number of postings on SnS has been a bit on the low-end, decided to upload a recently completed Dark Angels Tactical Squad, straight from the DV boxed set. The only conversion done to the unit is on the Veteran Sergeant's melee weapon. Ethrion - your traitors will feel the full wrath of the Lion's sons tomorrow.<br />
<br />
"Repent, for tomorrow you die."<br />
<br />
Ethrion - please stick this with the rest of my DA page... cheers!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The idea is for my core of the army to be comprised of Iron Warriors as well as any and all chaotic looking units such as the starter set dreadnoughts, forge/maulerfiends and heldrakes. I've always felt that the design of these things doesn't really fit with any of the existing chaos armies I own but suit Iron Warriors perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With Iron Warriors as the core it can be augmented with Thousand Sons, World Eaters, Emperors Children or Night Lords for the elite special infantry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway more to follow and completion of these models to follow as well.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">Golden sunlight bathed Governor Jarmal’s private
stateroom. The sun just starting to dip lower in the sky was casting long
shadows across the room. Kiervan Jarmal stood, letting the warmth of the sun
fall across his face. A great many things troubled him, the arrival of the Ork
fleet most of all, with the woeful weakness in numbers of his PDF adding to his
worries. He reached down and picked up his cigar from the ashtray, raising it
to his lips and breathing in the wonderful taste deep into his chest. The heady
aroma and the almost sensual caress of the smoke going a little way to easing
the fears he harbored. True, Forlorn Hope’s own defense would not hold against
such a mighty foe but the impending arrival of the Emperor’s own warriors, the
astartes, made his hopes soar and his determination galvanize. Though he had
never seen any in action personally, he had heard many tales of their heroics
and deeds in battle. It would be the greatest honour of his life to be in the
presence of such mighty weapons of the Emperor’s might.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">He turned and padded across the deep crimson carpet
to the drinks cabinet in the corner, leaving a trail of wispy smoke in his
wake. He had been governor of Forlorn Hope for the best part of forty years
now, having taken office in his early twenties. The planet had known peace and
tranquility under his guidance and had been the epitome of an Imperial world.
Tithes paid in full and on time, the system of rule ticking over perfectly and
the quota of soldiers into the Imperial Guard met every time. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yes</i>, he thought as he took a crystal
tumbler from the cabinet and filled it with amber liqueur, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I have done my duty and I’ll be damned if some greenskin scum are going
to blemish my career</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">There was a faint knock at the door. “Enter”,
acknowledged Jarmal and the mighty oak doors swung silently open as Lonas Kell
made his way into the room clutching his staff of office.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“Ahhh Lonas, good to see you”, greeted the governor
with a warm smile to his senior advisor and more importantly, his closest
friend. “What news from our space marine reinforcements?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“No news as yet old friend”, replied Kell,
returning the smile. “But there is no need to concern ourselves, they will be
here in time, of that I am sure”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“A drink?” offered Jarmal, proffering a glass.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“No no,” chuckled Kell, “it disagrees with my
stomach far too strongly, unlike you however that seems to be able to quaff
gallons of the stuff and feel no worse off for it”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">Jarmal shrugged and padded back over towards the
grand oak table that dominated the stateroom. Strewn across it were a mess of
torn and faded parchments, maps and data slates with all manner of information
on them. He absentmindedly shuffled a few before picking up a data slate and
moving around to sit in his chair. It was a high backed seat, more akin to a
throne of sorts, though Jarmal always dismissed such parallels being drawn.
Intricately carved it depicted various scenes of hunting, battle and ceremonies
of legend. Each arm was carved into the majestic shape of an eagle and it was on
one of these that he rested his glass.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“How go the preparations in the defenses?” he
asked, his mood becoming serious once more. “We have little by way of our own I
know, but I hope everything we have can be brought to bear on the foul xeno
scum that dare invade our system”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“They go well governor”, responded Kell in his
customary business-like manner. “First and foremost is the defense of the Imperial Palace and its environs. The 33<sup>rd</sup>
and 9<sup>th</sup> mechanized infantry regiments are in position along the main
approaches”, he continued, pointing out locations on a map laid out on the
table. “The 88<sup>th</sup> artillery battalion is forming up within the palace
grounds here, and we have defended these areas of the basilica with elements of
the 2<sup>nd</sup>. As you can see from the pict image, these are the locations
of our other PDF forces across Forlorn Hope”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“Excellent…excellent Lonas!” replied Jarmal taking
a sip of liqueur. “The Ultramarines and Space Wolves will be very pleased with
our efforts”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“Indeed, our allies will be most impressed”, Kell
acknowledged, a faint glimmer of a satisfaction fleetingly crossing his face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“You know Lonas, I have never fought side by side
with a warrior of the Emperor before, and while I had hoped to end my days in
peace, there is a certain part of me that thrills at the thought of being part
of something such as this”, Jarmal’s voice almost singing with youthful vigour
for a moment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">Kell laughed, “forgive me old friend, but it is
highly unlikely that you would ever get to fight at all, let alone side by side
with a space marine”. Lonas Kell smiled, as though remembering a personal joke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“I know, I know. I’m far too old and decrepit now
to be of any good, but one can dream Lonas, one can dream” he said sipping his
drink again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">Kell nodded and moved to stand at the shoulder of
his old friend. They both gazed out of the window, across the palace grounds
and towards the slowly setting sun. “Yes Keirvan, of course, you may dream…”
his voice trailing off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">All of a sudden, there was a strange feeling, one
Jarmal couldn’t quite put his finger on, he was an old man now and he had been
sure he had experienced all the emotions humanity had to offer him but this
sensation was new to him. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New, and yet
somehow strangely familiar on some unconscious level </i>he thought. He looked
down and saw the blade emerging from his chest. The gleaming silver of the
metal contrasting with the deep thick crimson of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">blood… his own blood</i>. The tumbler fell from his hands and landed
with a dull thump on the carpet, the remains of the liqueur soaking into the
pile. Jarmal felt no pain, just a slow chill creeping into his body. He could
hear the sound of crashing waves suddenly rushing in his ears, a strong
metallic taste filled his mouth and he coughed a gout of thick blood which ran down
his lips and chin. His vision became black and white and began to fade around
the edges. Jarmal’s head suddenly becoming very heavy and he rested it against
the wing of his oak chair. The irresistible urge to sleep overcame him and
slowly he closed his eyes, seeing for the last time the sun setting out across
the rooftops of the Imperial palace.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;">“…you may dream”, Lonas Kell whispered as he
withdrew the sword. He wiped the blood from the blade on the sleeve of Governor
Jarmal and sheathed it within his staff. “Now it is time to welcome our
allies”, and with that the senior advisor and closest friend to Keirvan Jarmal
left the room.</span></div>

Specially to Sam and his Grey Knights/Henchmen list that placed 3rd and Caz and his Nurgle daemons/plague marines army that won 'best army'. I won 'best background/story' but that's by the by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a great weekend of games that was marred only by one person that brought loaded dice and engineered two wins before being called out and asked not to return. He didn't really seem to argue his case and just took his dice with him and left.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lastly, this was the final time the old chaos codex was being used as it was too soon between tournament and release of the 6th ed. chaos codex to use the new one. So, fair well 4th ed. chaos codex you served us well!</span>Ethrionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06963719940517136512noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629565123529460399.post-40100943044598104862012-10-11T21:59:00.002+08:002013-02-04T22:41:58.779+08:00Louis' 1st Legion: 3rd CompanyArmy shot of what I've painted so far, borrowing the cool piece of terrain from FA's collection.... enjoy!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As the war progressed, the
extent of the corruption and influence that Myrddin had over the local systems

I used a couple of old school Ravenwing pewter parts, see if you can pick them out.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pretty happy with the way this squadron turned out. Now thinking if I should work on a 2nd Tactical squad (armed exactly as my other squad - Plasma Cannon, Plasma Gun & Sergeant w/ Plasma Pistol and chain- sword) using the pieces from DV. I'm going to take mess around and maybe try to convert the Sergeant so he's holding a Power Maul instead of just the chain-sword.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or is that a so-so upgrade?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway... comments and criticism appreciated.</div>
