Hi all. I've been trying to become a member here for a while and finally got made a member today after I emailed the site admins. I really wanted to share these models I'm making. Might be worth saying I don't play the game, I just take time making models. So hopefully you like them.
The story behind the Incendius Crusade is they have been fighting a long distance away from the rest of the chapter in isolation for over a long time, centuries possibly when you take the quirks of spacetime and the warp into account. In this time their zealotry has reached insane levels and they have turned their nutcase level up to 11. This crusade firmly believes the emperor is a god and worship him as such in fundamental fashion. I see them akin to Necromunda redemptionists, randomly flipping their lid and purging anyone they decide is a sinner.
This is my first model (as noted I wont be making an entire army, just some characters and vehicles worthy of display) Marshal Constantius. The idea behind his crown of thorns (which I will paint as barbed wire) is he wears it as a penance for calling himself a leader when only the emperor deserves such idolisation. It pierces his skin every time he moves in combat. While appearing to be in command he's actually an unwitting pawn to the Crusade's chaplain who manipulates him into doing his biding as he guides his faith. I have a bit of background written but for now I'll show some pics:
I'm quite happy with him so far. He needs a hand obviously and I think I will add a few more purity seals here and there. Let me know what you think.
