Sorry guys, and especially Brother Tyler, I’ve not managed to get my model finished in time. Probably not likely to until at least the weekend. But I shall endeavour to finish it! -

IA: The Champions of Athlum (LASC 2021) First Draft
Ferrus Manus replied to Ace Debonair's topic in + THE LIBER +
Have I missed something? But what is there to recruit on an uninhabited world? I appreciate this is setting up the grudge with the Dark Eldar, but it seems a bit expansive. Can the grudge not develop from an assault on their homeworld, killing a significant amount of potential recruits? Perhaps whilst the majority of the Chapter's strength was off combating other DE raids, just to add insult to injury? I quite like this idea, assumably this means that Serfs hold a higher position of respect than they otherwise would with another Chapter? How does this almost Alpha Legion style doctrine affect their relationship with more traditionally Codex Chapters? Does the Chapter have much 'day to day' interaction with the natives? Or are they more recluse, with the Monastery being seen by the Athlumians(?) as the Land of the Angels type of thing, i.e out of bounds. Has this lead to a more adhoc approach to company structure, akin to the Iron Snakes? ++++ A nice start Ace. Looking forward to seeing them fleshed out a bit more!- 23 replies

Nice to see somebody else having a pop at a Cursed Founding BA chapter! First off, I really like the Colour Scheme, and Halandaar, you've done a cracking job on the model. Almost makes me want o crack my paint brushes out. Almost. This is a really interesting concept, and one thought I had was whether this affected their attitude to their Battle Brothers at all? I.e are they more distant to each other than in other Chapters to try and reduce the effects of the psychic shock? Also, given their psychic closeness, do they get a vision into their Brother's final moments? Akin to the Visions they have of Sanguinius during the Black Rage? From that point of view, they could consider that this link is a blessing from the Great Angel. Bringing them closer to the burdens of their Gene-sire. Just a few thoughts to explore.

Ahh Ace, you're making me blush. I really appreciate this, though it does make me feel that much more guilty that I have let them linger for so long! Man, he's so cool! Great posing, I can imagine him leading the charge through a hail of fire. You also have had the honour of painting the first Lion Eternal in their new colour scheme (My Tau are blue, I really didn't fancy painting another completely blue army ). Which gives me an idea, I may expand on Vothar's fluff if that's alright with you? As a side note, adding names throughout their lives isn't quite how I'd seen the Naming Ceremony aspect working. More of a one time deal, but actually I quite like the way you've portrayed it in that piece of fluff. You may have just changed my mind here! ++++ As for my own progress, I have built my Primaris marine. Going to have a think about how I can embellish him to make him more in keeping with the Fie Claw's aesthetic. Which reminds me, @Brother Tyler they are Orange rather than Bronze right? -

I know the feeling Cam! Unfortunately work has been crazy this month. I'm hoping to be able to put some time aside this weekend and get some of my sections flushed out a little it. That said, looking forward to seeing what you come up with. -

Ferrus Manus replied to Ace Debonair's topic in + THE LIBER +
Looking forward to seeing these guys fleshed out Ace! I'm sure you wont disppoint. I don't really have anything to add at this stage, however this did draw my eye: Have you read the first Dawn of Fire book? There is a really interesting section where the main protagonist, a White Consul, discusses what his Chapter sees as their failing (due to the loss of their homeworld as part of the latest storyline) because they spent too much time governing and pursuing other interest rather than focusing on being warriors. Just some food for thought, obviously the White Consuls have more reason than most to be doubting themselves. Does this belief stem from, not just the Emperor, but an attempt to emulate their genesire's famed abilities as a Stateman?- 23 replies

I Ferrus Manus, vow upon the honour of my Chapter, the Lions Eternal, to write/update a completed article containing their history and heraldry to the Liber Astartes/Chaotica by 29th March 2021. I also vow to complete one (1) miniature of a Chapter/Warband randomly assigned to me by the organizer by 2nd May 2021. Looking forward to it! Happy to build any type of power armour for Phase 2. -
