[augustmanifesto]

We really have to do something about the fact that we are both "August" of some variation and have V Company Imperial Fists threads, brother  

That said, your Imperial Fists are lovely indeed! 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Good points. I snuck into your thread and went  Dear god, your IFs are inspired. 

[Atia]

Love your Fists Auggi (but you already know that hehe^^)!

 

Great to see a mix of different armour marks  

 

Will you use the Nuncio Vox Marine as Corporal for your combat squads?

Does the guy with the Nuncio Vox have a back banner? The answer to that question is basically the same as the one to yours All officers will have a banner in my army. Just like they had in 2nd edition.

[Lemainus]

  Voss has tremendous character, as do the rest of your characters... but he in particular has a certain... gravitas, I guess? Very impressive painting, too. I dig your dudes, man. :]

[Augustus b'Raass]

 IV Tactical Squad 

IV tactical Squad is known among the brothers of Vth Company as ´the bucket´, as it is used as a repository of penitence by Chaplain Kaprellian. Sergeant Kolan is entrusted to lead those brothers who, for whatever reason, need disciplinary actions. The turnover of the squad is therefore relatively high, as serving in IV Squad for a certain period is known to reinforce loyalty and the sense of duty in brothers of 5th Company. 

 

 

Veteran sergeant - Fidurik Kolan - Barabbas Sogalon
Sergeant Kolan is a hulking brute of an astartes. He was inducted into the Vth at the relatively old age of twelve, along with his blood-sworn gang-brother Johannu Ermik, who now serves as his brother-sergeant in VI Tactical Squad. Both led a life of crime and violence before acquiescing to the Imperial Truth and the discipline of the Imperial Fists Chapter. Kolan's physical stature and great strength is echoed in his leadership style; he is a brooding, controlling man, who enforces the Codex rigorously and without remorse. He has an excellent eye for talent, and will always strive to bring out the best in those who serve under his command.   

 

Comms specialist - Jacobu Wenreich - stepper

A skilled grenadier of VI squad before he became communications specialist of IV Squad, Brother Wenreich favours city warfare above all. He is often the first to suggest blitz actions when encountering entrenched or fortified enemies, and will be ever eager to execute the tactic, to the point of undermining authority of his commanding officer. In spite of this trait, he is respected by Sergeant Kolan, who has come to value his morale-lifting interaction with his brothers.

 

Heavy Weapon Specialist (Lascannon) - Lothar Meginhard - kizzdougs

Meginhard takes his role as the heavy weapon specialist very seriously, once going so far as to refuse to abandon a clear firing position. Known for his lack of humour and tactiturn nature, he will often withdraw from his brothers when allowed to be at ease. Unexpectedly, he has formed a strong bond with brother Tsoi.

 

Battle Brother - Vikton Tsoi - Res Ipsa Loquitur

A decorated sniper, Brother Tsoi was tasked with a decade-long service in IV squad for disobeying an order for an emergency extraction, in order to save a wounded brother. Tsoi often acts as a spotter for Brother Meginhard, whom he considers a friend.  

 

Battle Brother - Addart Valten - Soric

A former assault marine, Brother Valten is the longest-serving brother in IV Squad in history, being seen even by Sergeant Kolan as a difficult case. He favours close combat above all other forms of combat; once going so far as not using his bolter when charged by a traitor marine. His nature is literally bloodthirsty: Valten is known among his brothers as 'the beast', as he regularly gorges on the flesh of his fallen opponents, which he justifies as giving him a tactical knowledge. A sign of penitence, Valten has worn the Black Fist since before being inducted in IV Squad.  

[The Prophet]

Such characterful and well done models! Awesome!

[Tankus Wokus]

Just found this thread, these guys are amazing!

[Augustus b'Raass]

III TACTICAL SQUAD

 

 

 

 

And of course, some shots of the individual squad members.

 

Veteran Sergeant Donau. Donauinherited his helmet and most of his armour armour from his former mentor and friend, Vexilarius Calon. Notice the transfers on his kneedpads. They´re the teeniest, tiniest transfers I´ve ever used. But they´re beautiful.

 

Vox specialist Haanden Dalut

 

Heavy weapon specialist Danzik Hast

 

Brother Kon Dantula

 

Brother Caleb Hos. Notice that because of the reinforced armour studs on his left shoulder pad, Hos wears his chapter badge on the right shoulder, where the squad designation and number have been moved to the side to make room.

 

I hope you like them!

[Race Bannon]

Making that ML was a pro move from FW for us who started back in RT days.

 

These look really great   The Vox specialist is choice.

[ShVagYeR]

I'm really glad you're putting your IF force into this topic so that we can look at your awesome yellow dudes without having to scroll through the behemoth that is your WIP thread. Keep them coming!

VII Biker Assault Squad 

 

Veteran Sergeant - Tormud Yegar - Pyroclast91

A taciturn leader, Sergeant Yegar is nevertheless regarded in 5th company as one of the most promising officers. Having the ear of Captain Landa whenever a quick strike plan is required, he offers council to whomever needs it, whilst not wasting time and displaying an eager aggression on the battlefield. Sergeant Yegar prefers scouting missions, where he serves his company by gathering information on the enemy. Despite his aggressive nature, however, he is never tempted to overplay his hand.   

 

Weapon Specialist - Korvern Losurt - krobakei

A recent addition from the 8th Company, Brother Losurt requested to be transferred to 5th Company to take up the place of a fallen comrade in VII Squad. Losurt has proven himself an aggressive warrior and a efficient weapons specialist, quickly increasing his skills in the use of the deadly graviton gun. His breacher helmet, worn by the brother he replaced, is a gift from Sergeant Yegar to both honour the fallen and to allow Brother Losurt to perceive the field of battle through the same machine spirit as his former companion.

 

Weapon Specialist - Vitric Gellar - codystuart

Brother Gellar hails from an ancient family of Terran Enginseers, going back as far back as the Dark Age of Technology. He honours his family tradition and has specialized in the weapon with the most arcane technology: the graviton gun. A former Land Speeder Storm gunner, he has served in VII Squad for three decades - even longer than Sergeant Yegar.

 

Comms Specialist - Rüdiger Hoss - Sanguinius Reborn

An astartes with an unusual sense of situational awareness, Brother Hoss has been a great asset in VII Squad's usual scouting missions. Hoss is a dedicated comms officer, providing the squad and the company with invaluable information on the enemy's position and strengths. He is a stoic man, though, and rarely speaks to his brothers if he doesn't have to. Despite this, he is well-liked, for when he speaks, it is always in good nature and with words of admiration to his peers. 

Note the gnarly look of Hoss's helmet: before painted it rolled through a small pool of super glue. I thought I had cleaned off everything, but during painting it seemed I had failed. Oh well. The bike´s antenna is not plastic, btw. I swapped it for a thin piece of metal from a paperclip, because I know the plastic antennas tend to break off easily. 

 

Battle Brother - Vorn Kartessen - The Psycho

The most aggressive and best fighter of VII Squad, Brother Kartessen prefers close quarter raids and sowing confusion in the enemy ranks. Against his will, he was thus assigned to VII Squad, where he performs the role of outrider and guard for the rare occasion when they are spotted by the enemy during scouting missions. He has prevented enemies raising the on dozens of occasions, and earned the respect from his comrades, despite his outgoing nature clashing with the taciturn nature of his squad brothers. 

 

VII Assault Squad Attack Bike

Attack Bike Driver - Gunther Phran - Lord Commander Eidolon

Brother Phran is a veteran bike assault marine with over two decades of experience. In this time, he has proven to be an excellent biker, being able to make the quickest of turns and driving over the most rugged and narrow terrain. Because of his particular skills, he has been assigned to drive VII Squad´s assault bike support vehicle into battle. Although he was honoured by the promotion, his flamboyant driving skills sometimes puts him at odds with his gunner, Brother Nakhtmahr, who complains about his aim being off. Phran jokes that with a multimelta´s primary target being bulky enemy vehicles, perhaps it is his gunner that is to blame himself.

 

Attack Bike Gunner - Vel Targan - Kurama

A long serving weapon specialist, Brother Targan has a long service record in the 5th Company. A former Devastator, he was assigned to the VII Assault squad a decade ago. He has served with several brothers before brother Phran , yet despite Phran´s driving style, Targan respects the younger driver to no end, lauding him for his humor and skills with their vehicle.  

 

Replies:

@ Race Bannon: Thanks, dude. If you like the comms specialist, thre's one in each infantry squad. 

 

@ ShVagYer: Glad you like it! I'm still working through the behemoth myself, trying to identify all the postings.

Veteran sergeant - Sandor Lev

Heavy Weapon Specialist (Missile Launcher) - Willem Rorak, callsign "Wiley" - war009

Battle Brother - Antonias Dravan - dizzyeye

 

 

 

Veteran Sergeant Sander Lev. A veteran of over a hundred of battles, Sergeant Lev has been honoured with a relic MkII helmet and officer´s plume. His staunt resolve has saved his brothers on countless occasions. 

 

Brother Kurt, Vexilarius of Squad Lev. Kurt wears a modified suit MkIV armour with a MkV  helmet, which signifies him as a veteran. The honour marking on the right knee pad of the armour marks it as very old. The squad´s Vexila too is a truly ancient relic in the chapter, and features marks of honuor from thousands of years ago.

 

 

X Devastator Squad Razorback "IUDICIUM"

 

 

 

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! 

Sorry, I have no individual pic of brother Dravan....

 

Thanks for looking. I think I'll continue updating this as long as poeple keep commenting. I know I'll loose interest if I have to start double posting, so comments are most welcome!

@ jeremy1391: thanks buddy! More to come.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Knight of the Raven]

Ah, I was wondering when you'd update this thread. It's such a pleasure to look at these finely-painted and -modeled models in all their completed glory. Gotta love the attention to detail with all the voxes and banners.

[mithrilforge]

Just wow ! , i have my 30k Fists on my desk at work as i type (hoping to clean em up and undercoat em tonight downstairs in the Storage Cage area Shhhh Don't tell  ) 

Very inspiring...im going to log off after this comment and start Cleaning em up! Thanks for rekindling the Zeal  

 

Mithril

 

P.S. I love Brother Kurt the most   Very Cool looking! 

[Lemainus]

Continuously radical work.

[Firepower]

Fists done proper

[Augustus b'Raass]

Haven't updated this thread for a while now.. Apologies. 

 

Here´s the Deredeo Dreadnought Rudig Vall. I also added the bikers to VII Biker Assault Squad in this post, above.

 

++ Des. Ancient \\ Rudig Vall ++

++ Form. 5th Company Devastator // Rank: Veteran Sergeant ++

++ Occupant XI // Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought \\ Anvillus Config. ++

++Fist of Terra++

 

 

 

Note the absence of armour on the ammo feeds of the Anvillus cannons.

The armoured hoppers where removed by Techmarines after being irrepairably damaged during the recent campaign.

 

 

 

 

The top of the Ailolos Launcher bears the Chapter symbol, as well as the most recent Campaign's badge, so as to be easily recognizable by aerial support.

 

Details:

 

The dead Iron Warrior at Vall's feet shows how recent fighting has been. It's also a nice poke to my regular hobby buddy Ruben, who is building a most excellent Iron Warriors army, for which he uses the loyal SM 'dex. Such a shame I cannot convince him to start a plog here. Ruben, if you're reading this, START ONE!!

 

The dorsal support weapons have been magnetized, so I can choose which to use in battle.
