Bright Lords - "Torchbearer" Boarding Squad

[Seukonnen]

First of all, the disclaimer needs to be made that these gorgeously-painted minis are not my work - a dear friend commissioned them for me from a fantastically more talented painter.

Where other chapters deploy their First Company as hallowed Terminators, the Bright Lords have barely more than a dozen such suits of armor to their name. Instead, much of the First Company is comprised of Torchbearers - elite boarding specialists and line breakers who fulfill many of the same missions as conventional Terminators using heavy boarding shields, stormbolters, scavenged refractor-field generators, and raw grit. It is the Torchbearers who are first to bring the Chapter's light into the darkest and deadliest places such as Space Hulks or enemy warships, and though their duty has one of the highest attrition rates in the Chapter due to the lack of proper Terminator armor, their determination - and firepower - are legendary.

 

 

 

 

Closeups of the seriously impressively done Chapter iconography - all of which was freehanded.

Really great modelling and a smooth paint job to go with it! Great work, I'm always a happy Frater to see more DIY Chapters have their own models to further solidify their existence. :D

Love everything about them, the iconography, the story of why they are, the storm bolters + shields (nicking that idea big time).

 

You have every right to be proud of these guys and I look forward to seeing more of your army as it comes along.

Good job.
