After many months drooling in front of my screen seeing so much beautiful threads, I decided to succumb to the 30k and HH whispers in my head.
Part of the ship part of the crew !
I explained the very difficult process - for me - of choosing a Legion in the HH sub-forum. Finally I chose the White Scars, for the occasion to participate in the siege of Terra and for the tremendous possibilities modelling-wise. I’m fond of military history, in particular the Mongol conquests, so expect references. BCK thread of inspiration for them has proven more than useful, thanks for that mate !
I had also a look on Hyrkanians from Conan, and will pick-up Chinese and Japanese influences.

We've got time before FW releases the book concerning this Legion, and even more for minis, so I'll have to improvise smile.png.

Nice to see the brutality in line with Heresy Wolves and Eaters.

 

Going with the red trim, or pure white ? Used to be pure white during the HH, but years of confused fluff writing and retcons a-go-go have seen that flipped round.

 

Keeping an eye on this.

I will try to show some brutality, as much as loyalists permit. After all, in such a desperate time like the siege of Terra might have been, facing traitors on the walls of the Emperor's palace, the inner savagery of WS should have made appearances. And Genghis Khan was the master of using fear at war... I will not go on a field dedicated to NL, but on the loyalist side, I see them as the most inclined to that kind of warfare.

I will try not to go too far, and above all avoid mindless violence. I see them more as using it as part of their toolbox, in a thoughtful manner.

For the minis I'll probably avoid red trims, to differentiate them with 40k WS. Maybe some bronze or golden trim, if not too unfluffy ?

Great start brother. mkiii for scars though? Didn't think they were that keen on heavy assault?

The squads will have miwed Mk, and I like Mk III too much to avoid them smile.png There won't be any bikers for the moment either. Eventually jetbikes.

Awesome start :D You make me want to revamp my Battle for Earth Scars :D (But ive sworn to wait for their book to save mayhem).

 

On the Red trim, its been confused over the years but what eventually tipped me over was the fact that they tend to look better with Red on them ;)

You sir, do the Vth legion justice. I'm loving the pose and the gs work and the top knot makes him look suitably Scar-ish.

Keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see some paint on them soon :)

This is friggin' awesome. I'm a huge fan of your painting and modeling style, and I'm super-psyched that you've picked up the heresy gauntlet.

 

I'll be watching this with heavy interest, good sir. You have my undivided attention.
