The Chapter Master strode with purpose, he wouldn't have long without the Inquisitors prying into what he was up to, but the head of the librarians and master of ceremonies would keep them busy as long as possible and out of his way. He enters the inner sanctum of the tech marines, expecting to see the master of the forge, but instead a tech marine greeted him.
"Chapter Master, thank you for coming so quickly as this is a grave matter"
"Where is the master of the Forge, if it's so important ?"
"He is on a important mission sir, we think we have found another lost STL, but has asked me to show our latest findings, please follow me into the secure room."
The two moved quickly into an adjacent room, where a chaos marine was led on the bench in the centre of the room, the Tech Marine secured the door behind them, and switched on the security protocols.
"Is this what was so important ? Why hasn't it been destroyed as normal ? The taint of chaos makes it useless to our armour shortage."
"Here's the thing sir, it's our armour !"
"What stolen from us ?"
"No we've checked the records, and it's from the lost companies, from our founding, the ones that were lost to the warp !"
"Keep this information, quiet, and destroy the body, I'll talk to the master of the Forge when he returns."
Part of my chapters history, is four companies were lost to the warp while travelling to their first mission, and as I have some left over Chaos marines from previous projects, I thought it would be fun to turn the lost companies to Chaos. I'm calling them the Night Claws, and have a similar colour scheme to my chapter, and also Night Lords, but without the bat wings which I dislike. Here is a converted Chaos Lord
Next is an aspiring champion, from the old plastic kit, no conversion on this one.
Last today is a kit bashed Tech Marine for my Night Hawks chapter, added a few details with greenstuff, like the hammer head, and the extra armour on the leg greaves.
That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Oh, how interesting! I like the story behind and the way you made them look. Looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, thought the short story would tie them all together ! LOL
Deleteloving the history behind these lost boys
ReplyDeleteThank you Andy, thought it might make them a bit more colourful, than just saying these are chaos marines ! LOL
Deletegood looking stuff. nice on the conversions. 😁
ReplyDeleteThank you Stewart, thought it would be a fun way to use up my spare models ! LOL
DeleteNow that's what I call a hammer! :-) All very nicely done! I know next to nothing about the GW universes but I like your backstory!
ReplyDeleteThank you John, if your going to have a thunder hammer, may as well make it a big one ! LOL If you enjoyed the story, then it doesn't matter what you know of GW's lore ! LOL
DeleteNicely done Dave!
ReplyDeleteLove the lost company idea. Looks to be a fun project!!
ReplyDeleteThank you DAM, as GW chapters have interesting histories, why shouldn't mine ! LOL
DeleteExcellent work all around and I remember the plastic CSM kit very well. I'm not sure how miniatures I built using it, but it was definitely a box or two. It holds up nicely today though I could see it maybe looking a little funny mixed in with the Primaris-style marines.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, it was a pretty versatile kit, not like the new this is the pose, and you will accept it ! LOL Luckily enough there is not a single primaris marine in my house, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem ! LOL
DeleteLots of interesting ideas here. Dark histories like the Dark Angels. No one likes to admit that at one time they went down dark paths....
ReplyDeleteThank you Dai, and indeed ! My chapter is the only remaining chapter from the Dark Founding (unless GW have removed that as well) so havinga bit of darkness in there seemed fitting ! LOL
