Very nice! I like the conversions you have put together for some very uniquely armored Wormwood Sons, looking forward to seeing them painted up!

Thank you @MoriyaSchism! I really like the Mark 5 look... used it for this next guy! ++++++++++ Veteran Noor, the Jade-Touched. 8th Company Kyndred. Led hunting raids of Pentarchy garrisons across the bleached sands of Balohai during the Saphrax War. He and his endurance cadre operators hid from interdiction forces for almost two years of the war with no void support. Harrowed the armory forges through unrelenting attacks and sabotage while surviving three coordinated efforts to eliminate them, including at leads one led by kill-teams of the Red Talons. Ultimately driven off by a targeted assault force of the Flesh Eaters (11th Company). …and we shall hunt them through the jagged rocks of Kantar and round the moons of Nibias and through the gates of Hades itself before we give them up!

@Sherrypie that is some awesome stuff @Monstra Sumus Love your work! ... I have been super inspired by the War of the False Primarch project for the better part of two years now, but only in the last month decided to paint up some stuff! Flesh Eaters Kill Team (Pentarchy of Blood) Iron Guard (Partisans) 212th Genswick Rifles Squad Link to more pics of these teams, still working on finishing one now for the Jade Talons!

Last Stand of the 212th Genswick Rifes Regiment +++++++++++ Order of Battle The 212th Genswick Rifles were a light infantry regiment believed to be over 200,000 strong prior to arrival in the Heliopolis sector. Low on Chimeras, armored assets, or other vehicles in general, the regiment by tradition preferred heavy use of horses bred on their home system; this included the majority of ranking officers and support staff spread throughout the regiment. Beyond the scout and shock cavalry companies, logistics companies, and single artillery battalion (only a small portion of the regiment as a whole) the vast majority of regimental manpower included high numbers of (expendable) trencher-infantry and engineers equipped to create fortified trench-lines across a wide stretch of warfront. Examples of 212th Genswick Rifles in field equipment, including guardsman-portable barrier-shields. Battalion/Company designation unspecified. Flamer weapons were widely distributed across the line companies, along with some rarer armaments such as the plasma pistol, here wielded by the platoon sergeant. +++++++++ The Imperium is a vast place, and communication is never a sure thing. Transmissions are not fool-proof and often intercepted, garbled, jammed, or disrupted. And that is even before the potential for mistakes to be made or a simple misunderstanding to occur. The 212th Genswick Rifles were never supposed to fight on the side of the Partisans. Dispatched early in the war to Ceto, backwater planet just outside the Myrean League, in transit the planetary governor (and rest of the League) declared for the False Primach. Completely oblivious to this fact, the Rifles reported to the aforementioned governor as previously ordered and took up their place in the defensive trenchworks, fortifying themselves for several months before reassignment to the Neris system. Later requisitioned by the Iron Guard (who in an ironic twist of fate had also fallen in line with the Partisan cause by this point), the Genswick Rifles were present during the ultimate destruction of the chapter’s 7th Company on the mud-flats of northern Saphrax VII at the hands of the Flesh Eaters. ++++++++++ Partisan pic-captures of the stalwart Iron Guard bolstering the line against the ravenous forces of the Flesh Eaters. No members of the remnant Iron Guard 7th company were known to survive the attack, nor the entirety of the 212th regiment. ++++++++++ +…and another thing! We haven’t gotten a decent [multiple expletives deleted from record] meal in weeks! Its been over a month since the cooks ran out of horse bones to add into the gruel. Emperor dammit what I would give for a decent cup of corpse-starch stew right now, it hasn’t tasted right since Clef lost his nose to gangrene, [deleted] betting they expect us to rot here in this spot, I would trade my coat for a chance to finally move from this emperor [deleted= see “uncomfortable to sit down on”] dung-heap [record deleted pertaining to regimental officers] I swear if sarge tells us we are staying here for another week in this rotten trench I am going to [record deleted pertaining to regimental officers and their mothers]... ...oh hi sarge, what's the news? [deleted] dammit we can’t move trenches now, we just got this one all cozy and perfect, we don’t want to go anywhere, honest [record deleted] never seen a space marine before [deleted] no way they would eat us, bet we would taste like [+record ends] [remainder of transcript lost pertaining to the vox-records of the 212th Genswick Rifles, last reported on Imperial records as having been sent to bolster the line against the oncoming Partisan advance]+

Finished a few consuls recently- Delegatus Lasraad is based off of a mini I saw online but I cannot remember the originator. My homage is on the right: I like how his shoulder pad came out: Also enjoyed how my Esoterist turned out. My plan for the skin tones was a "borg" look, and turns out they came out looking more Harkonnen than I expected as an added bonus. More pics and lore in my project blog. Looking forward to when the new assault marines and breacher sets become readily available!

+++ Some Things Are Best Let Forgotten +++ Next up... the Iron Guard. "Whilst the chapter's gunmetal armour suits its dour heritage, it is often surprising to outsiders that battle-brothers also adorn their armour with colourful heraldry and markings. This tradition harks back to the chapter's now-destroyed homeworld and the ritualistic adoption of neophytes into one of the historic clans." [tactical armor identification notes concerning the Partisan Chapters of the War of the False Primarch] These three were a mini project, my attempt to make the faux-Iron Warriors scheme more palatable to me. I enjoyed the tidbit of lore where the Iron Guard most loyal to the Primarch repainted the chestplate/helmet of their armor a deep red/rust-orange, and did that for a few of these guys. Also wanted to include plenty hints of heraldry dotted on their pauldron-shield and kneepad. Iron Guard conduct an early morning assault on a desert outpost- Perimeter secured, the Iron Guard ensure security is locked down under the desert sun. The other main piece to the Iron Guard project were their mortal auxiliaries! 'What came of the actions on Gurro VII was a great moral victory for the humane and noble, but with it almost every reason to call the Imperium 'home' has disappeared. Now, brothers, we are but an iron ring made of wood.' [//First Castellan Vaszoly Soos 'The Ironclad', Equerry of the Huscarls and Master of War+]

Those are some good looking tau!

You find joy in the hunt, Jade Talon. We revel in the carnage. My small Flesh Eater warband have been designated as members of the 11th Company by the blue blood-drop on their pauldrons- ...and as members of the 26th squad on their right kneepads: It was also fun to include some Jaws of Doom on the beakie marines

+++ Some Things Are Best Let Forgotten +++ I have been super inspired by the works of folks out on the internet recently when it comes to the War of the False Primarch, and want to show off a few small projects I have been working on and finally feel comfortable enough sharing here. Starting with the Flesh Eaters! “They vilify us for our methods, yet nobody questions the results. We are the chosen Scions of Sanguinius, tempered weapons of the Emperor Himself. Our enemies quail with fear even before we draw first blood. They will soon know it is a fear well-founded! Let them fear the Angels of Death. Let them fear what is left of their short future. Let them pray for death. Brothers, we will answer those prayers.” [//Scaraban, Voivode of the Flesh Eaters Second Company+]

One of the higher-ranking members of the Iron Council to survive within the ranks of Clan, the maimed consul was the first to cede leadership to Selok after the events of Istvaan. Inscrutable, terse, but loyal to a fault, Lasraad was found to be increasingly single-minded in his pursuits, to the point where as the heresy continued his cognitive faculties were increasingly questioned by his peers. Yet none could question his martial prowess, as on the battlefield he strode through the ranks as a living symbol of resilience and grit inspiring the legionnaires around him to fight on for the remnants of the legion. Delegatus Lasraad (the Maimed) We were not born astartes, we were made. Made in the image of our father, who was in turn made in the image of his father. But he was not truly his father, nor were we his grandsons. We had our own, true fathers and grandfathers once, flesh and blood. Before we were scooped up and herded off to the gene pits to be sorted, crafted, smelted into soldiers of iron. I used to mull over these thoughts... many times. The cogitive functions of my brain are now mostly excised along with most of my human form, replaced by the cold, unsentimental steel of machintata. It was born of injuries but has brought me tranquility. - Consul Lasraad, shortly before his death during the Great Scouring. Injuries sustained resulted in over 75% of his body replaced by cybernetic implants. Lasraad wears the original Terran-forged shoulder-plate from back when the legion was first founded on the slopes of ancient Albia, bearing the mark of the 10th. Very happy with how this guy turned out, meant to be the next step-down in leadership as compared to my Praetor. Also could probably fill a few other consul roles. Edit: Forgot one picture, here is my inspiration for this guy! Sadly I don't remember who I got this picture from, so if it is yours please know that I loved your work, and hope mine is a fitting tribute!

Love the blood-red helmets on those auxilia!

Those destroyers look great!
