These are the tales of the Marked Wulf Crusaders , or rather What happened to the Survivors of the Marked Wulf Crusade So first things first , the army box + 15 assault intercessors leads to A LOT of value out of those sprues2 Pyre Blasters 2 Sword Brothers , 2 Power Fist Initiates, 1 Marshall , 6 Auto Bolter Initiates , 5 pistol and Chainsword Initiates , 4 close combat neophytes. I have another army box on the way as well. Of course I my inital list doesn't make use of all of these guys I will still be working to get everybody painted up. +++ The Emperor's Techmarine (Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition) [106 PL, 6CP, 2,000pts] +++ ++ Vanguard Detachment -3CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Black Templars) [106 PL, 6CP, 2,000pts] ++ + Configuration + Battle Size [12CP]: 3.

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 certainly a unique take on the EC Lord Blackwood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kraskor Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I like how the Servo-arm mimics his left arm, ready to ball into a fist. And after all, why not - the Techmarine could just as easily be chosen as an EC as a Sword Brother.

9x19 Parabellum Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The conversion itself is good. As for the concept as a whole, I have to give this a hard pass, I'm afraid. That being said, I'll still "like" your post! Lord Blackwood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Awesome idea. Excellent execution. Lord Blackwood, Othniel's Blade and Kastor Krieg 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Love the idea, any Battle Brother may be granted visions from the Emperor and if that's the Techmarine - why not!

Mandragola Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) This is a good idea and well-executed. I don’t really see myself using the EC as himself so other ideas for the model are well worth considering. Personally I think I’ll leave mine alone though. I think I’ll have plenty of other bodies available to convert into stuff - like the marshal that comes with the army set and CP, for example. My EC will protect a shelf against all enemies.

Lord Blackwood Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thank you for all the encouragement brothers , and even those of you who dont agree with the concept thank you for the compliments on the conversion or the idea. The marked Wulf Crusade has always had a lot of armor , likely why they have so many techmarines. This is all the primaris stuff , ( infact this army started out at a Horus Heresy Templar/Fists Armor company So theres a ton of HH armor as well ) I guess theres one more primaris bit of armor ..... it technically transports primaris marines maybe ill finish it as part of this project as well.

Brother Kraskor Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That is a lot of armour! Lord Blackwood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Very clever idea, now it's making me thinking of other specialists taking up the role (Apothecary EC anyone?). Also that is a delightful amount of armour. Lord Blackwood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Knightfall is upon us , and as such I am working through my first vow. Here is Everything from Vow One Here is just the completed stuffAnd heres a little close up of some of the Crusade Command Core More to come probably next week when we finish out this vow and figure out what were going to do for vow 2 , likely working my way through some of that armor I have begging for a paint job. Though we might be reverting back to Black and Yellow for the armor so it matches the other tanks from the heydays of the Marked Wulf Crusade Othniel's Blade, Brother Kraskor, Dosjetka and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWORD BROTHER RYAN Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 That is a very nice yellow you have on them. I know from painting House Hawkshroud Knights that yellow is a pain to paint right. Impressive. Lord Blackwood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Plowing ahead with vow one , got the eradicators and the blade guard done this week. Have 4 assault intercessors left to do then we will get into Vow 2 BLACK BLΠFLY, Brother Kraskor, Marshal Mattias and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Frog Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 That's a great concept! Really like what you have done with your techmarine conversion, and how you have played up their Imperial Fist roots in their color scheme. Long Live the Emperor's Techmarine!

Dosjetka Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Great work so far! :tu: I admit to being a bit confused as to how you've painted your Marines though: are they crusading Imperial Fists or some sort of successor Chapter to the Black Templars?

Lord Blackwood Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Great work so far! I admit to being a bit confused as to how you've painted your Marines though: are they crusading Imperial Fists or some sort of successor Chapter to the Black Templars? Thank you very much ! So at the end of the Marked Wolf Crusade ( my former project thread here ) both the 14th great company and the Remnants of the Marked Wulf crusade ( a black templars crusade that traded bone white for distressed yellow) were reinforced by primaris marines and effectively reinforced to the point of being ultima founding chapters in and of themselves. The 14th went from being a lost company of the space wolves to the Dreadwolves ( my project in the space wolves forum) and the marked wulf crusaders took their rebirth as a very spiritual experience , while still working as a black templars styled chapter , they took their unique coloring ( used to be black with yellow helms and shoulder inlays) to the logical extreme , adopting a mix of livery from the progenitor chapter and the Black Templars , the Light of Sol has banished the mourning from them armor save for those who must still carry the black. All of the armor re: Tanks and Dreadnoughts ( save the one painted with this infantry wave ) will remain in the old marked wulf style of mostly black with yellow as the secondary The high marshal ,and his personal blade guard and sword brother vanguard will remain wearing black with yellow accents (as will units painted for this army before this lore event) They remain bros with the Dreadwolves even with both organizations up to chapter strength theres plenty of culling to do.

Brother Kraskor Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Clever use of the lightning claws to ensure a unit's worth. I just can't help but feel storm shields are a waste when we have innate 5++, but the models look great! Can they easily be assembled without capes as I also dislike capes.
