Brawling Company

A successor chapter of the Raven Guard, the Brawling Company are noted for their willingness to throw themselves into what seem to be hopeless situations and emerge victorious through a mixture of grit, determination and dirty tricks. More than one great enemy champion has been taunted into single combat by a Brawler, only to be ambushed by an entire gang of Reivers. They will use autoguns, lasguns, xenos weaponry - there are no rules, there is only victory or defeat. The only weaponry they refuse to use are the tools of Chaos, which in the words of the Chapter Master, "'Would make things too easy."

The Brawling Company are most noted for their mastery of unarmed combat and improvised weaponry. Especially in the Dark Imperium era, where the light of the Astronomicon can be intermittent, the Brawlers are well prepared for lightning strikes to turn into grueling wars of attrition from lack of supplies and reinforcements. Their signature weapon is the Power Knuckles, a lighter variant of the power fist.





You can kind of see it here - I actually carved little furrows above the ears and painted them black to into the eyes, trying to go for a sunglasses look. It didn't quite read like that, but it still seems to have worked out ok.




Paints Used: Primarily Vallejo Cold Grey washed with Drakenhof Nightshade at the recommendation of a friend (thanks Tim), with Jokaero Orange washed with Sepia Serephim. The belt is some off-brand 14-karat gold color, the Power Knuckles and arm pistons are the same off-brand Brass. The kit bags are Vallejo Golden Yellow washed in Sepia Serephim as well.

The legs and abdomen are from the original Reiver model. The chest/upper torso is from a Stormcast... Prosecuter? The left arm with the sword is from the Reiver Kit, and the right arm is from a Chaos Terminator kit, with the original twin-linked bolter removed and replaced with a greenstuff Brass Knuckle. The lower back is sculpted greenstuff, as is the connection from the right arm to the torso.

Waiting for a bionic arm bit (which may be way out of scale) and will launch myself into painting my dude. Out of town for work for 2 weeks so hopefully this isn't forgotten by the time I get around to finishing. :p

STAR JUSTICARS

Lineage: The Star Justicars are Imperial Fists successors. Taking on a crusade much like their brothers, the Black Templars, they stalk the stars in search of the enemies of mankind that have visited grave injuries upon humanity. Worlds that were wiped out, sectors that have fallen, people forgotten - all are casus belli for the Star Justicars. They pursue enemy fleets and hunt down the enemy until their lifeless corpses float in the void.

Tactics: The Star Justicars primarily fight in space, ship to ship. Breacher units and close combat tactics are favored, as the close confines of ships often don't leave much room for tanks or artillery.

Heraldry: Purple in honor of their regal heritage, and the blue after the memory of the first world they avenged. A Khornate Chaos Warband descended on the Agri-World of Almundi Prime, famous for it's vibrant blue skies that seemed to never end, no matter where you stood on the world. They slaughtered the entire population, leaving eight great mounds of skulls upon the world. The Star Justicars responded too late to save the population, but they wiped out the warband to the last man, and scuttled their ship.

Hey Beer4theBeerGod I have an odd request for you. I was just playing around with the random name generator and I got something that just has to be done. To make up for having my own name, would you roll me up a double hard set of color restrictions?

The Regal Skulls were the result of an experiment Belisarius Cawl conducted near the end of the development of the Primaris marines. The intent was to create a legion of pariahs; anti-psykers like those of the Sisters of Silence or the Culexis Assassin Temple capable of blocking the warp. If successful the Regal Skulls would be the pinnacle of Cawl's work; the ultimate defense against psykers, Chaos, and the Immaterium itself. Unfortunately the project was not successful as Cawl was unable to capture the quintessence that defines a pariah. Even the Adeptus Mechanicus are incapable of engineering the soul. What Cawl did produce was a Chapter that was more warp resistant than other Primaris and less susceptible to the uncomfortable effects of being in close proximity to Pariahs. The Ordo Hereticus, seeing the value in such a warrior, requested a chapter and the Regal Skulls were formed. As a small, specialized Chapter Regal Skulls rarely perform independent operations or campaigns. Instead they are typically found alongside the Inquisition, providing support for other psyker-focused forces against threats that may be outside their capabilities.
