Mortarion

Thanks! Yes, that seems like the best way to handle this.

Space marine Assault Squads (both with and without jump packs) comes with bolt pistols and Astartes chainswords as standard. Two models per squad can replace both the pistol and the chainsword for a flamer (or certain other guns). However, as the the models don't start with a Close combat weapon, this leaves them completely without a melee weapon. Am I missing something here or does this mean that they cannot make any attacks at all in close combat? I can't find anything about a default Close combat weapon statline which anyone can use (like in 9th). I guess it makes for a trade-off between ranged firepower and close combat ability, but it just seems really strange to have a marine which is unable to make any kind of melee attacks.

Some heavy Intercessors done!

Thank you! :)

Finally a new unit done - some Assault intercessors. Primaris marines as Sanguinius would have wanted them. Combat Squad 1 Combat squad 2 Regular marines A squad leader (just a regular marine in terms of rules). And finally a sergeant with a Flesh tearer (counts as power fist). This is the first version of that weapon I have done on a primaris marine, but it turned out pretty well I think.

Thanks everybody! :) I have not posted any lore on B&C as far as I can remember. They are an Ultramarine successor chapter and follow the Codex Astartes strictly. They believe that any deviation from the codex is the first step to heresy. They do however not use the Codex company colours, as they consider them to be examples. And they will not take lightly on anyone suggesting that their colour scheme is not codex compliant. Their home planet is a harsh desert world where they are worshipped as gods by the natives. And they share this belief, considering themselves and all other space marines to be gods. (However, they still worship the Emperor as a "god to the gods", supreme lord over all creation.) This can sometimes lead to trouble when cooperating with non-marine armies as they expect all "mortals" to show proper respect towards them and not try to interfere in the way of the gods in any way, even if that "mortal" is a high ranking Astra Militarum officer in charge of a crusade or the Canoness of a Adeptus Sororitas order.

Some Storm Falcons Outriders. More pictures here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349634-storm-falcons-primaris-marines/?p=5721825

Finished some Outriders.

Thank you. The robes are meant to be some kind of light cloth. We don't wear our human skin clothes when the Inquisition might be watching...

A finished Judiciar: I originally intended to paint the Tempormortis like a regular hour glass, but I felt it wouldn't really fit with the Flesh tearers. I imagine them as a very pratical chapter. And bringing a huge hour glass into battle just doesn't seem practical. With this painting it will hopefully look more like a device shaped like an hour glass.

Correct.

Is the decoration he's wearing atop his backpack a stylized horse's head? Is it a rank identifier, e.g., letting others know he's an LT? Or an honor marking, maybe declaring he was first to breach enemy defenses at a certain siege? Thank you. It is a stylized lion's head, but the mane looks a bit weird. Every squad in the army has a hieroglyph displayed on their left kneepad. The hieroglyph symbolizes the squad in some way, either relating to their role in the army or their past deeds. This squad has a stylized lion's head, which stands for strength or power. And their sergeant has earned the right to carry a golden version of this symbol atop his backpack.
