Threescore. And they were a small lot to begin with. And how could they maintain what chassis had survived when the entirety of their Sacristans, the Von Feys, refused repair?redactedJonas: Aye, now you’re asking the right questions. It all started when Lord Von Flaskk sundered their oath to the Mechanicus and put their lot in with the Imperium. Now, they say this switch of allegiance was on account of the High King having some vision of the Emperor. Well, how do you think this sat with his Sacristans?redactedJonas: Von Flaskk pleaded for aid from the Ecclesiarchy is what he did. And you know what they said? Pray.redactedJonas: Not entirely. To win back their Sacristans and their arcane secrets, Von Flaskk was forced to annul his marriage, execute his heirs and marry one of the Sacristans of the Von Fey— now, mostly machine, mind you.

Our new Master, inheritor of our former’s Rosette and Retinue, Former Acolyte and Acting Inquisitor Von Flaskk declares the Adeptus Astartes Knights of Riscus Excommunicate Traitoris.

The Gatton Crusade was to be the Chapter’s crucible unto which the beginnings of a mighty Adeptus Astartes chapter were to be written. Unfortunately for the Knights, this undertaking was their first step to Excommunication. +++ Knights of Riscus Excommunication selected… ++++ The Execution of the 1st Company +++++ Searching Pict-Capture Inquiry… Oxgryn, The ++++++ Load complete: Blue, Dynepsis-Oxgryn, Slave of Inquisitor Von Flaskk +++ Von Flaskk Retinue selected… ++++ Searching Dramatis Personae… Blue +++++ Load complete: Though its native name has long been forgotten, the Dynepsis-Oxgryn known simply as Blue is assumed to be one of the few sub-human slaves of Inquisitor Seesus Waides. Officially, the Dynepsis-Oxgryns, classified as H.S gigantus gigantus type Oxgryns, were previously one of the forty-six types of abhumans listed as extinct. Certainly, their genetic deviation in today’s Imperium would most likely place them on the Adeptus Arbites’ Register of Proscribed Citizens, while conservative Adeptus Administratum scholars would simply reclassify them as true mutants. Seesus Waides, Radical as he was, saw the benefit of having such raw savagery encased in the nigh-impenetrable, indigo-hued hides of such creatures in his persecution of Adeptus Astartes chapters declared Excommunicate Traitoris. Rewiring the beast’s neural network, and mind-slaving it to one of the Inquisitor’s sub-personalities created a slave as utterly loyal as it is deadly. Currently in the service of the honourable Inquisitor Von Flaskk, Ordo Astartes. ++++++++++ This guy has been sitting around for a while now, and with this project I’ve finally found a use for him. Great model by Forge World. We need more Age of Sigmar character series entries by them. I used quite a few bits and bobs from the Cawl kit, and the Inquisitor Karamazov kit. Going to be a blast to paint. Next up will be an even more robotic entry to this Inquisitorial Warband.

They are executing Riscus IV in the coming days. I am to be ‘repurposed’— Von Flaskk tells me I will continue my roll as Glory Singer for my Chapter and beyond as I recount our genocide, or as he labels it, our Cleansing. To my knowledge, he is still unaware of my diminishing psychic abilities: the only advantage I keep. Each day I beg the Emperor, why has He revoked my gifts? I suppose whatever Von Flaskk decides to do with me will surely be an improvement from this pitiful existence. The scrawls you decipher were written by hands designed by Him to strangle the life from the enemies of Humanity. Now, I am unsure these hands would know thy Bolter anymore, let alone those we call ‘enemy’. If my new purpose be the recounting our history then the simple truth is we were lead to damnation by our Chapter Master, and, at the rejections of his behests, were we judged by jury and executioner one in the same: the Inquisition. We were born of famous fathers, and we were deserving sons of their shame. Our inability to secure vital territory, nor raise the Aquila in decisive battles earned us the ire of many allies we bled with. We believe this first stoked the fires of temptation in our Chapter Master, Riscus IV, fires that would come to engulf our brotherhood. The Ecclesiarchy, promising glory in the Gatton Crusade, damn them, lured our noble Chapter into what would quickly become an unending stalemate of attrition who’s bill would make all butchers beyond rich. Our numbers dwindled and the Crusade abandoned, Riscus IV fed us into the Primaris Rubicon, demanding we become powerful enough to transcend into legend. Less than two hundred of my brothers survived the Ascension. This act of glory-mongering, a clear violation of excess, spurred our remaining Captains to request aide from members of the Ordo Astartes. Let it be known to the Imperium of Man that our Captaincy denounced Chapter Master Riscus IV before he took the life of honourable Inquisitor Waides, and their requests to the Inquisition to intervene were of sound minds and loyal hearts, both of which have since been taken via the the slugs of their Vindicares’ Exitus Rifles. We are His loyal servants. While the vile Von Flaskk declares our damnation wholly to the last brother, I recount the truth.

The Astartes you left us has been remade, and joins the endless choir of its brethren among the Cherubim. As per your request, its vat-grown body has been left wingless, and its auditory function has been increased.

But I had some parts around and it just came together. I love the film, so I won’t apologize lol. The familiar is from the Mechanicum stuff from the Skullz promotion, but I may be wrong. I feel he completely encompassed what I was going for, so I didn’t convert a thing …which felt weird. Still waiting on parts for Von Flaskk. More retinue members to come!

Soldier of Dorn Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I love that APC. I don't know what it is or what purpose it could possibly serve, but I love it. The idea of a censured Space Marine being reborn into a servitor or a cherub is... disturbing to say the least: the most vile punishment for a warrior of the Imperium to endure.The oxgryn as well is just... wild. I don't really know how to comment on something like that. It's way outside my realm of expertise when it comes to 40k, which generally remains power-armored and bipedal, or armored with treads. It's really something and fits quite well into the weirdness and absurdity that is Inq28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really something and fits quite well into the weirdness and absurdity that is Inq28. I imagine the APC’s sole function to be observation and recording as the Ordos Astartes members chase down Astartes that have been declared traitors— as such it doesn’t have any weapons outside the servo-skull which was mostly added for a little flavour. I have to agree— there is something grimly heartbreaking about a space marine being repurposed like that which I wanted to explore. As far as the oxgryn, I appreciate the feedback! Weird, eerie, and slightly unnatural are the bells I’m trying to ring with this project. Wow, some really cool stuff there! The Oxgryn is especially cool, I love the Contemptor power fist on him.

Great job on Trina von Fey as well [by the way, the correct way to write those names is "von", not "Von", at least if you are going for the ancient, Jhermanic dialects of Terra ;) ].

Upon reception of Inquisitrix Fathis into their system, the Hallonhales inaccurately reported harvest quantities from their agri-worlds. Fathis had weighed the burden of installing a new regime of planetary governors among their worlds against the rising number of cultists in the subsector and decreed simply Deceit against the Emperor of Mankind rather than the more extreme censure she had become infamous for. The Hallonhale tributes quickly proved their worth to the Inquisition as the raised regiments repelled the insurgency— a cancerous cell led by a handful of Heretic Astartes. Impressed by their purity and incorruptibility, Fathis rerouted future tribute training to the Drill Abbots of the Ordo Tempestus, and the Red Stallions of the Inquisition were born. ++++++ A quick little post.

This eventually evolved into a tradition the Red Stallions use to this day; sifting through the worlds of the subsector to find Ogryns of exceptional size, strength, and intellect and absorbing them into their Ogryn Auxilia. The immensely widespread span of this recruitment has resulted in an equally vast variance in cultures and subsequent native tongues. Indeed, typical Astra Militarum Ogryn recruitment intake stock of varying languages would neither have the required intelligence nor patience to establish any semblance of effective verbal communication with each other while Ogryns of the Giants of Hallonhale were able to form an amalgamated vernacular, jammed and mashed together from many dialects to create, some Imperial Linguists suggest, something resembling a coherent language. With the application of the Biochemical Ogryn Neural Enhancement, their intellect was further increased, granting them the ability to follow lengthy chains of orders and enabling them to be quite independent in warfare. +++++++ Another quick one. I’ve always loved Ogryns. Something about the big dumb brutes has its charm. For this particular unit, I wanted them to look a little more specialized, and have used Nork’s armour on all three. I like the shared stylings to the Tempestus models, so it feels like a natural tie-in. Adding some tartoros shoulder pads helped finish off the look, I found. The top knots represent a little hint of intelligence, which I hope comes across. I also wanted to give them a little bit of racial variation to represent their fluff. I plan to add to the basic one on the left, maybe with some wolf fetish motifs to signal a more feral culture. Thanks for looking :) Edited August 22, 2020 by KBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hope you all are having a great Saturday :) A couple WIP shots of my Inquisitorial Rhino: I’ve yet to glue the top on, so forgive the janky fit in the first photo. I plan to do a bit of plasticard work, and really aim to make this rhino special. I hack-sawed the original exhaust manifolds off and replaced them with some spare FW Deimos pattern ones. I like the amalgamated look— kind of a hybrid mash-up of a Mars pattern, with bits and bobs suggesting it has been rebuilt over long spans of time. Can’t wait to paint this thing even though it’s early days in the build. Oh, and something worth showing a sneak-peak of: von Flaskk is nearing completion, and I’m quite pleased with how he’s turning out :) sockwithaticket 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
