++ AUGUSTUS b'RAASS ++ pre-heresy BRASS SCORPION p.247


Recommended Posts

 

 

Congratulations on the new house Augustus! As hushrong said, fortify that thing to the nuts; gun nests, bunker complexes, trench networks, murder holes, minefields, artillery batteries, AA guns, kill zones...

Make your mailman fear you.

Parents prefer the term kid's bedroom. :happy.:

 

Anyways, ace work all round.

All shall fear Augustus and his replica Iron cage

Alright, II Scout Squad is shot. As in with a camera.

 

 

II Scout Squad

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_007_zpsh1l533qo.jpg


Sergeant - Alexos Travier AlphariusOmegon108

Wielding his ancient bolter, Sergeant Travier is a drill sergeant if ever there was one. He requires his recruits to perform to perfection, or else. He has not shunned from putting initiates not fully astartes in a pain glove.

Heavy Weapons Specialist - Lavin Onikron - GREY88

Onikron showed an aptitude for heavy weapons specialisation early on, but his sly nature made him less fit to wield a heavy bolter. Blowing up a renegade Rhino with a full complement of traitors is amongst track record.

Comms Specialist - Genart Faskrim disease

A comms specialist, Faskrim acts as spotter for his gang-brother Lavin. The two are inseparable, which is both a blessing and a curse to the squad. The master of recruits is considering whether to field them in the same squad when they pass the initiation trials.

Battle Brother - Valik Akhedes Argent aquila

Brother Akhedes is a man-of-the-line. He is dedicated, motivated, and his wit are a great source of squad morale.

Battle Brother - Wern Harzug Thrillhouse

A thrill-seeker, Brother Harzog can always be relied upon to volunteer for single-man operations.

I hope you like! Sorry for the crappy quality. For some reason I just am unable to photograph scouts without a washed out effect.

@hushrong: Cheers buddy! I'm glad you like your guy :)

 

@Teetengee: You're right about the Creed/Truth disparity. I fixed it, thanks. Your comments about the difference between power weapons and regular cc weapons is greatly appreciated too. It makes me less worried about the WYSIWYG...

 

@codyrstuart: Yup. :)

 

@Mrbear: Yeah I'm pretty confident I have the right tools to alter him, but still....

 

@sanguiniusReborn: No way man! I need my mailman. Who do you think delivers all those models?

 

@DarkMark: Haha ;)

 

@Teetegnee: Wait what?? :O

 

@Kurama: Hehehe they will! Muhahahahaaaa

1st one. Looks better, however, considering how anti-religion the crusade era was, I am still not sure it quite matches up. I am pretty sure the Ecclesiarchy didn't show up until a while after the heresy. Basically, religion of any kind was seen as a negative, and the marines adhering in it would be flirting with reprimand.

2nd one. Someone said perhaps a kids room over the fortifications, hence the joke.

@Thrillhouse: Glad you like him, dude! Thanks for joining in. :smile.: And yes, early March there's a tournament where I'll be blooding my Fists. I hope to get a couple practice games in before that. 

 

@Teetengee: 1: Ah I see. But remember, my army is 40K, where the Imperial Creed is entrenched into even the Space Marine chapters. Some don't quite see the Emperor as a true God per sé, but some among the Imperial Fists and their successors do. However, I'm kinda basing my army in 32K, where the cultures of the Templars, Crimson Fists, Executioners, etc and the Imperial Fists proper haven't really diverged that much. Hence, the many Templar and Executioner iconography on my boys. :thumbsup: 
2: Aha. Sorry, I'm dense like that. I never read anywhere that Astartes junk doesn't work anymore, though...

Not that big a fan of the red seargent's helmet; I think its a matter of contrast. The yellow usually contrasts very well with the dark metal and the black faceplates, while the red doesn't show off the details as well. On top of that his helmet is the only one to have a skull without wings, so there's less room to create that previous contrast you had going

Alright! I finished the last of the Razorbacks - and with that, my entire 1250 army is finiiiiiiished! Woot! 

 

Here´s the pictures. I realize I haven´t taken pictures of all eight razorbacks (I might´ve skipped two or three) as they're pretty much all just yellow metal bawkses. I thought I'd show you this one though, as I'm quite pleased with the templar theme of this one.

The scroll reads "IVDICIVM", Latin for "Justice". 

Edit: Balls. This picture makes me realize I forgot to paint the metal caging over its headlights. I'll fix that, but won't take pics of it. Sorry! 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160213_020_zpsf2dthesp.jpg

 

I hope you like the tank. And, as promised, here's the last squad of scouts I still owe you guys:

 

III Scout Squad

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_023_zpsvbn1o92p.jpg

 

Sergeant - Mattias Zekkett - Marshal Mattias

Being rogue-ish by nature, Brother Zekkett rank as a scout sergeant was thrust upon him after completing the initiation trials. Scout Captain Tion thought it might teach Brother Zekkett some responsibility before he'd take up his duty as a brother in one of the Battle Companies.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_030_zpsj0zffury.jpg

 

Heavy Weapons Specialist -  Kodai Kagemura Brother Chaplain Kage

Kagemura's heritage as a hunter in the Hymalazian mountain ranges on Holy Terra has made him a natural long range weapon expert. The attention to detail and creativity that necessitated his old life, have contributed greatly to the squad's high succes rate in missions.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_027_zpsdbmla7rb.jpg

 

Comms Specialist - Ulrich Von Rusdorf dantay_xv

Acting as Kagemura's spotter as well as a communications specialist, Brother Von Rusdorf is a dedicated member of III Scout Squad. He is the child of an ore platform rigger on the North Atlantic Plains, who taught him the value of loyalty and tenacity.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_036_zpsb4xsq64v.jpg

 

Battle Brother - Ebeneizer Brent Lord Thørn

Brent is among the rarest of scouts, in that his life was forfeit by his clan as an offering of tribute to the Imperial Fists. He survived their burning ritual, and this feat of strength and will brought him to the attention of the Master of Recruits.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160210_024_zpstpp0oeo1.jpg

 

Battle Brother - Iklas Teuronen Anthrawes

A constantly vigilant recruit, Teuronen is the sole surviver of the latest recruitment rounds. Genetic stock among the closest recruitment worlds of the Imperial Fists have been meagre, as a result fo the recent Ork invasions. Still brother Teuronen is determined to prove himself to his chapter to avenge the destruction of the Hive he called home.

Hope you like!
 

Feedback, as always, welcome. Thanks for looking.

@Pearson73: Cheers buddy! I hope you like the new scouts too. :smile.:

 

@Teetengee: On behalf of all ladies of the Imperium, I am sorry to hear that. :wink:

 

@SkimaskMohawk: The pictures do wash the contrast of the colours out quite a bit, but I see what you mean. I'll go back to the helmets and give them some brighter orange highlights to increase the contrast. Thanks for the valuable feedback. :thumbsup:

 

@Knight of the Raven: I have no idea. Please enlighten me as to which Beast you are referring.

Do you ever stop?!

I guess not. ;) I just had a day off yesterday, so took the opportunity to paint the last tank. As I was waiting for paint and washes to dry, I worked on some other things, namely:

 

The new captain: 

As much as I want things to be completely WYSIWYG in the list, brother Valten of IV Squad has a close combat weapon too. So I decided I'll just leave the power sword on him. I masked the inquisitorial rune on his scabbard, dremeled the holstered pistol away and replaced it with a BaC empty holster. 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160213_004_zps15ry1jq4.jpg

 

A terminator squad.

Based on the BaC terminators, I wanted these guys to have Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields (they're going to be assaulting from a future (but already bought) Caestus Assault Ram). So I cut away the power fists from the shoulders and replaced them with INdomitus Patters strom shield arms and the FW Black templar shields. 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160213_006_zpsrnnqzpmo.jpg

 

Their sergeant is based on the BaC Terminator Captain.

And I also made some Imperial Fists themed objective markers, as I need those for the upcoming tournament.

Hope you like! And thanks for looking as always!

@Teetegnee: Oh right! I'm currently reading 'I am Slaughter', and indeed the army is based on that time period. So it's probably located/timed right after the The Beast Arises period?

 

@Dizzeye: No worries, buddy. Antonias Dravan is recorded. Thanks for joingin in!

 

@sockwithaticket: Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. And I guess not? I had a hobby-free couple of weeks, but the engine is running again. It's a diesel. ;)

ARMY SHOT

 

So glad with this army finally finished - and I love how they look. Actually can't wait to start unpacking it at the tournament (AnselNeo, hold it a secret still, please :wink:). I'm also almost finished with the objective markers, but I'm going for a beer now. Goodnight!

 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20160213_014_zps4xtxdooo.jpg

 

And here's a shot of my entire painted Imperial Fists army so far...

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Great fists, great yellow, and great figure and fluff for Brent :)

 

That stark yellow gold fist on the scabard looks very stricking, I sort of hope you keep the same gold on black for it:)

Haha, you work those free razorbacks, man :D

 

As great as they all look individually, all that work pays off ten-fold in how  coherent they look all together. 

 

Great job, buddy!
