The Unkind, a XIX Successor Project

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Maybe a combination of a death world, small graveworld, and a paradise moon.

The "paradise moon" likely has an archeotech climate control system- maybe even energy shield projectors to protect it from Crematoria's sun's radiation.

 

You know what this means.

 

AdMech Archmagi: "We must be allowed to meditate before this archeotech artifact, and study it for Mankind's benefit! You want compensation? Fine, we'll get you a Banelblade for each century we're allowed to maintain a research station on this moon! Here's the first- formerly known as the Dread King and the Dakka Boss, it was recovered from Armageddon's battlefields and cleansed of the Ork taint- accept it as a down payment!"

The deathworld has a lot of raw material and was ruled by Age of Darkness nobles that lay to rest on a graveworld in the system. Perfect for the chapter to liberate and establish roots.

I presume these nobles overthrew the planetary governor- living representative of the Emperor's authority- in the chaos and Chaos following Cadia's fall, justifying the Chapter's conquest as necessary to restore lawful order to the planet?

Graveworld is haunted, obviously.

Will the spirits haunting the graveworld, draw Chaos cultists to it?

[MithrilForge]

Wow that Captain is a looker

Graveworld. I I ust had this picture of a narrative game using warhammer fantasy models with ghouls zombies and or skeletons using guardsmen stats with a 5++ save swarming the Marines from edges of the table as they play a breakthrough type mission.

Great idea!

[longjohnsilver]

The colour scheme and models look amazing.

 

As for the background; it's really interesting. Maybe the haunted death world/ grave world would play havoc with the librarians, or the Chief Librarian can communicate with the spirits or something?

 

Yeah the Mortifators were certainly a different take on UM successors in the McNeill books.

For the black armor parts, it looks to me like:

 

Prime contrast grey (Is that Grey Seer?)

Drybrush white?

Then Contrast Black Templar over the top?

 

It turned out really well, would love to know the recipe in general.

[Nusquam]

I always wanted to do a graveworld display board or kill team board so it's getting incorporated somehow. Spirit communing is going to be a big theme. Life, death, ancestry.

I have a primer that is almost a match for mechanicus standard grey. I dry brushed celestra grey and then black templar contrast. After some more dry brushing celestra on places I wanted to pop.

 

Also thanks all!

Working on more characters:

 

(I did clean the flash on his fist after I took the picture and already posted it on insta)

 

 

And a libby

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

 

The Ork jaw is not only a cool-looking trophy, it can serve a practical use as a heat shield and hand guard. Have you decided on a name for this character?

[Nusquam]

No name yet.

 

Nice outside so I took advantage of some priming:

 

 

 

Picked up the 30th Anniversary marine for the bannerman.

[thewarriorhunter]

Really great looking stuff. I love the black and gold theme.

[Nusquam]

Worked on my ancient:

 

 

His head... met with an unfortunate fate... and is soaking is purple stuff.

[Shadow Captain Vyper]

The blue lenses really pop against the black and bronze

[Bjorn Firewalker]

That's a gorgeous-looking standard.

[Nusquam]

Thanks all! It's really fun to work on them. After camp drab and pitch black it's refreshing.

 

 

 

Worked on the banner a bit more:

 

 

Also started on the Libby:

 

 

I've been mulling the fluff around in my head. The RG Surgical Strike Doctrine fits these guys pretty well thematically and mechanically. There's so much I want to do I just don't know where to start. I'm thinking broad strokes. May shake up the Idomidus founding as I want to add contemptors. I don't see why primaris couldn't be put in contemptors. I want to get a DA dread and DG dread and convert them a bit. The DG dread that was converted to a UM from todays WHC articlemade me realize that with little work it's basically a MKIII Iron dread.

[longjohnsilver]

The standard bearer and librarian look amazing so far. Is the Ancient going to have a beaky helmet or bare head?

 

A detachment of dreadnoughts would be fun to build and paint.

[Dracos]

Awesome. Love the Librarian and the Standard Bearer are just great use and application of colors.

[thewarriorhunter]

Is the 'Raptor Vigilant' text on the banner free hand or a transfer?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Primaris Librarian looks most promising. Have you named him? If not, may I suggest Shinmen Niten, for his two swords?

[Nusquam]

 Transfer from the FW RG sheet

 

Finished the librarian:

 

 

Also I read through the new RG supplement; seems everything I was thinking of for my Consuls is now an aspect of RG lore. Like seeing the dead, venerating dreads, etc. And for the record I started this thread before the book came out haha. But it is nice that my chapter "makes sense" to be a successor of the RG.

[duz_]

Colours are nice and striking :tu:

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Primaris Librarian is coming along very well.

[WAR]

Very nicely done

What head is that?

[Nusquam]

It's from the suppressor kit. I gave the suppressors beakies.
