The Iron King, Fellblade of the XXIIIrd Cataphracts, was rumored to have been one of the first, if not the first, Fellblades off the sanctic tank yards of Tigrus to the Dark Angels Legion. It received battle honors over the Great Crusade longer than some individual miliatary units having seen action in the Rangdan Xenocides and cross training with the Xth legion. It earned its sobriquet in one such action in which an attached Xth legion officer remarked after seeing it lead other tanks in a valiant blitzkrieg, "the Fellblade lead a charge of iron into the enemy ranks, a king amongst tanks...an Iron King.

Started working my Leviathan - the idea was that he'd be still outfitted for anti apex xenos threats at the outset of the heresy.

As the fluff for a Leviathan mentions they were hard to come by during the heresy, my own head cannon established that Terra sent out the blue prints to the legions for use, and considering the DAs didn't have much in the way of Mars support, they had their own fabricator ships that could build them while in transit.

Excellent work brother! thumbsup.gif The V1 squad were great models, but these are awesome!

Is this the same loadout you recommended in the Tactica thread? 2 Acid-fire Heavy Bolters and 3 power swords (+ the sergeant upgrades).

Yup! However the bare headed guy is just artistic representation since I hated my old model of him. My sgt has a Caliban blade and a combi stasis launcher, which combined with rending (sniper rules) and the stasis rule, makes him absolutely evil to MEQs.

Unless FW fixes the range on the plasma repeaters or makes them assault profile, the acid HBs are pure gold and can allow the unit to charge.

@theObserver

I know the feeling man :D I'm actually finding it hard not to run some Vlyka Fenryka or SoS/Custodes allies with the new releases...

I need suggestions on osl lighting color for the grav bombard. I'm considering a purple/lilac color but I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks guys :D I decided to use what I had on hand and go for a muted, pulsing green instead of a sharp white/purple:
