Aqui Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hi! As a few of you might know, I outlined a vague plan to make a diorama that features a Marine from each of the Legions. My original plan was to have a generic (i.e. non character) Marine painted up to represent each Legion, with II and XI represented by a model painted black. Since buying the Iron Warrior and Alpha Legion FW exclusive models at Salute last weekend, I figured that I might expand on this somewhat and have a model for each Legion, but use named characters instead. I realise that in the case of the Iron Warriors I could model Dantioch instead (after reading about him in unremembered Empire, I quite like him ), but I think I'll make a list that includes Marines who sided with the Traitors (so Abaddon over Torgaddon for example). So, here is the list as I can see it. Please bear in mind that I'm still waaaaaay behind in reading the HH books. I - Zahariel II - Blank* III - Lucius IV - Nârik Dreygur (I must admit that I haven't a clue who he is) V - Don't know enough about 30k White Scars VI - Bjorn the Fellhanded VII - Pollux VIII - Sevatar IX - Nassir Amit X - Eeron Kleve XI - Blank* XII - Khârn XIII - Aeonid Thiel XIV - Ignatius Grulgor XV - Ahzek Ahriman XVI - Abaddon XVII - Argal Tal XVIII - Don't know enough about 30k Salamanders XIX - Don't know enough about 30k Raven Guard XX - Autilon Skorr (Haven't got a clue who he is either!) * Blank or, with their permission ask to use a model of choice from one of the II and XI projects that members have created here on the B+C Any suggestions? The above are names that I have respect for (such as Pollux, Argel Tal etc, etc ) or those that I know well enough (or can have a hope in hell's chance of kitbashing well enough that most members can recognise who they are The ones in bold are ones that are fixed (unless someone has a compelling argument for another character ) Thanks for any help you can give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 No Sigismund :O! Then again, Polux is a pretty solid choice so I'm ok with that. For AL: -Dynat: The model looks Cold, Calculating and due to his multiple weapons and assortment of gear, looks equipped to deal with any situation -RG: Alvarex Maun. Hes pretty solid though is a FW character more than anything. Unlike Sharrowkyn... I'm cool with everybody else on the list; we really need more WS materiel...

I did consider Sigismund, but no model and I'm from the RT Era originally, so Crimson Fists all the way I've never heard of Dynat, I'll have to look him up. To be honest, it kinda wierds me out that the Alpha Legion have named characters, what with the whole "I am Alpharius" thing going on Alvarex Maun - is there a particular book he's in for reference? It is a pity about the White Scars - I haven't read any of the books that feature them yet either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 For the XVIIIth, you're looking at either Artellus Numeon (First Captain of the Pyre Guard, Vulkan's honour guard), Nomus Rhy'tan (one of the chapter's first chaplains, told by Vulkan not to accompany the Legion to Isstvan V), or Cassian Vaughn (commander of the XVIIIth before Vulkan, original occupant of the Iron Dragon Dreadnought chassis - Bray'arth Ashmantle being the current occupant).

I'll have to look them up Cassian Vaughn sounds interesting, but it'll have to be before he gets interred. Each model will be in either PA or TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 To be honest, it kinda wierds me out that the Alpha Legion have named characters, what with the whole "I am Alpharius" thing going on Could you imagine if all of the special characters were named Alpharius? "Ok, just a heads up, I'm using Alpharius in this game." "Which one is he?" *gestures grandly at army* "All of them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each model will be in either PA or TDA For pre-Dread Vaughn, you'd most likely not have a Salamander, but a Saturnyne Ram (Vulkan had a bad session of 'One Night In Heaven' in high school, so as soon as he saw the Ram, he changed the Legion's name... ) http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/f/f6/XVIII_Legionary_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 For Maun and Dynat, they're FW Characters that were introduced in their Respective Book(s); Extermination in this Case. Meaning outside of the FW Book, I doubt you'll find mention of them. Of the two, only Dynat currently has a model out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Would'nt Bjorn be the major Space Wolves character? I mean, you have two books at least that deal with him (Prospero Burns and Scars). The 30K White Scars have Shiban (a Khan from the Brotherhood of the Storm) and Targutai Yesugei (the Chief Stormseer and one of the most powerful Astartes Psykers). From the Blood Angels, while Amit is cool, you could pick up either Raldoron (their First Captain) or Azkaellon (the commander of the Sanguinary Guard).

depthcharge12 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 For first legion, I'd say Corswain or Astelan (the latter has a lot of art on him). I was going to recommend Alajos, but I wanted to make a sweet sweet conversion of him with his vox grill mouth...soo he's mine you hear! Mine mine MINE!!! *pulls out sharpened piece of resin sprue with a crazy look" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 How the heck did I forgot Bjorn?! When I wake up later, I'll change the first post Depthcharge - I'll bear the first two in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think Yesugei represents white scars the best. He enjoys what he does and ignores others, not due to arrogance or Comte,or, just because it is their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly I agree with Yesugei, since he is a Stormseer that did not obey the Edict of Nikea because the Scars were like: 'Screw it, I will make my own Librarius with shamans and thunder!'

The Raven Guard didn't keep their librarians post nikea, they mostly became Moritats I believe. I'm sure Corax was one of those who spoke out against Librarains. Post Massacre they made a come back, but sort of had to seeing as the legion had been reduced to around 4000. For the XIXth, if you want to use a BL character, theres Sharrowkyn who is a bit of a Mary Sue character, but he is the ultra Raven Guard, top swordsman, top sniper, can wraith slip. He's currently fighting with the Iron Hands. His list of achievements include shooting Fulgrim in the head, killing Lucius, and more recently, starring down Alpharius, who choose not to fight him! There's also Branne Nev. He is left on Deliverance during the Massacre, and comes to rescue Corax and the survivors. He leads the Raptors, the new RG, who are mostly weirgeld, but isn't one himself. Then there's Agapito Nev, who commands the Talons. He seems almost like Corax second in command, but he tends to suffer from traitor rage due to the Massacre, and looks down on those who didn't fight on Isstvan V.

Alvarex Maun is a Raven Guard Character so look for him in their Section. Autilon Skorr is the 'Consul Delegatus' Event Exclusive Miniature (the one with the Scroll and Power Axe) for this year.

But that was post Massacre wasn't it, I don't think a legion so shattered could ignore such a weapon, nor could they piss off the custodes while on Terra.
