IT! IS! DONE!



I "Of the night" have risen to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Deathwatch and completed my vow of a Leviathan Dreadnought of total value 289 points.



I now give you, Leviathan Dreadnought Hierax. Completely magnetised for any loadout and full of details. This may honestly be THE best model i have ever made, possibly not exactly the best painted, but it's the one i feel the most proud of. Click the link in my signature for more details AND a backstory for my dreadnought :smile.:

And it is completed. Vow 1 is in the books. This was a fun model to paint. In my hurry to get the Vow in, I forgot to add some little details. But I got them on in the end. I wrote some fluff for him, that I’ve attached for anyone interested. A little long winded, but I wanted to give the model some additional substance for me.

 

(The base is unfinished, unfortunately. I’m still undecided on what the final base style will be for my DeathWatch army. They’re on GW texture right now, but I’m thinking about putting them on sector imperialis. So, I left it undone because I don’t want to rebase in the near future.)

 

Vow 2 to follow shortly

Ollonius Tarentus, Oath-Bound.

 

Tarentus’s rise in the Keep was meteoric. He was an Ultramarine to his core, exhibiting a masterful application of the Codex Astartes. But, it was his uncanny ability to utilize his Watch Brothers unique heritage traits and tactics that accelerated his rise.

 

He was quickly elevated to Watch Captain. And as his Kill Teams achieved numerous victories and accolades, Tarentus began to be groomed to serve as Watch Master.

 

But that fate was not meant to be. In his last mission as a breathing Marine, Tarentus lead a combined force of 25 DeathWatch brothers in an assault on an Ork bastion world. Their goal, to recover a relic believed to have the ability to manipulate time.

 

As Tarentus and his team recovered the relic, a small group of the foul Hrud materialized in the Marines midst. The temporal fields of the Hrud jarred violently with that of the relic, causing a massive temporal explosion.

 

To Apothecary Kul’tor, the only Marine on the outside of the temporal explosion, it was but an instant. To the 14 trapped inside, it was an eternity of bloody struggle.

 

As the flash of light that accompanied the temporal explosion dissipated, the landscape before Kul’tor had changed dramatically. Once dominated by Ork scrap yards and hovels, now there was only weathered rock and desert. In the epicenter of the blast, two Marines remained.

 

Brother Varn, who’s body had somehow been revert back to its novitiate form, and Watch Captain Tarentus.

 

Tarentus’s body was ravaged by time. His MkVIII crumbled to the touch. His skin peeled away from the bone. Multiple limbs were missing or crushed beyond recognition. But in his eyes burned the fires of unrestrained hatred. He would not fall.

 

Quick action by the apothecary Kul’tor continued Tarentus existence.

 

The elder brothers of the Keep, deeming his duty done, vowed to return Tarentus body back to the Ultramarines.

 

As the procession arrived on Ultramar, they were greeted by none other then Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, and an Honour Guard of 1st Company Veterans. Standing above the silent form of a dormant Leviathan Drednaught, Marneus declared to all “Only in death does Duty end”.

 

And so it was that Tarentus was entombed within a Relic of old. Bound by sworn Oaths of old to serve. Slaughtering the xeno threats of mankind until the day his soul is burned out.

So this is another vow on the smaller side points wise, but my paint time can disappear quickly and I will not fail my vows this year.
