Apothecary Pallas. He developed a way to halt the mutation of the Soul Drinkers. Joined Eumenes in the Second Chapter War, citing the reason that he couldn't bear to watch his Chapter dwindle and die out in Sarpedon's wars. Chose to remain with the Chapter in the Aftermath of the Chapter War to atone for his sins.

Ugh those green bases. Bases (and their rims) should never be in bright, saturated colors like that. It detracts from the miniature. Try using Graveyard Earth, a grey, or a darker, more muted green. It'll let people focus on your models more.

Green base well it would normal be on a board and as most board are that colour green you’re not even see it.

Any why how would you miss the purple model above the green base line lad?

I love the soul drinkers. Wanted an army of them for myself. Ultimately, I have too many projects for the space marines alone and had to drop them from the list (BA, Salamanders, Lamenters, and Tempest Guard [my own brew]). So far I like what im seeing. Are you casting your own pieces? I like the pre-heresy feel some of the characters have (at least it seems that way) with different helmets and gear. I look foward to seeing more progress on this army.

Hey dude, yep I will keep the models coming lad. my brother does Salamanders lovely army.

Tempest guard sound very good got any back ground stuff you made up?

I made one called the Sons of Elysium.

Yep I cast my own bits if you what any tips m8 just ask I have some vids on my utube site if that helps.

S.

I know it's not officially the chapter colors, but I really prefer Soul Drinkers with lot more gold trim. I have about 750 points of them in my taskforce and they are a slightly deeper shade of purple with gold trim at almost every oppurtunity. The gold really makes it Soul Drinker for me, even if it's not as fluff friendly.

I like the missle launcher on the dread.

So...Are they chaos? Look good though.

Hmm... Chaos Soul Drinkers, interesting proposition. I'm sure the Inquisition thinks that they're chaos anyway so...

hey Draglide12 yep i have to say, i did the same gold and more gold but the paint time was to long these pictures were my test models.



hey spireland the missle launcher on the dread is from the IG sental and thanks glad you like.


Hey Samus_aran115 The great thing about the soul drinkers is that you can play them as good or bad. but i like the idea off them good i almost finshed the Inquisition from the book and his MAD ass gun!



S.

Yeah, there are so many possibilities with the Soul Drinkers. You can have them pre-rebellion loyal standard marines, mutated or non mutated rogue non-chaos marines, or mutated/non-mutated chaos marines. No matter which way you go it fits with the fluff. A Sergeant Tellion HQ would be an utterly badass model. Terminator legs with no other armor and craptons of GS genebulking. Twin chainblades. Captain Sarpedon too. Just converting eight tyranid legs to his bottom would make him, and you could choose whether or not to take the bionic leg.

Draglide12 dude i love you you a soul drinker all right thou and thou.

iam making Sarpedon from green stuff and cast stuff so will be reading in a week i hope, tellos is going to get a lot of love indeed.

i post a reply on ur soul drinker thread as it the only why to kill choas i know from 25 yaers of reading the books. and codex and so on, but i hope that helps


S.

I havent read the omnibus in atwo years I think. Currently working on the Lost right now. I'll re-read it sometime to refresh my fluff and I ordered the 4th book. My first marines out of AOBR were Soul Drinkers, painted the Sergeant and captain first. I was going to make the sergeant Tellos but decided to stick with just a few standard Soul Drinkers at first. The nob arm with the big chain choppa and the warboss arm with the shoota would be great arms for Tellos if you could convert the weapons.

well once it done lad , tell me what you think,i hope ur likey ,



S.

My imperial taskforce is odd. It currently consists of: loyalist Soul Drinkers that survived the chapter war, Iron Knights seeking revenge on the rogue Soul Drinkers for disgracing Dorn, and a single combat squad and Dreadnought of marines ordered by the inquisition and trained to counter Soul Drinker tactics.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Thus, Soul Hunter Task Force lol.

I like the Dread alot.....clearly by the fact that they even have a dread, you are pre Sarpedon and all the stuff in the novels. The color scheme is nice, and you leave alot of options open for modeling Tellos, Sarpedon, Gravis, and all the rest of em.

-- Saw your newest pics, love the models. I also like that you are playing them as a good army. My ideas for my own Soul Drinkers involved using Chaos bodies and arms, but then backpacks, shoulder pads, and helmets were all form the Imperium. I think it would have turned out nicely I wanted to do that to convey the idea of the chapter being exhiled and also so I could add more gold trim to the army.

Anyway, I am in the process of writing and creating fluff for the Tempest Guard. I stumbled onto the idea for the army while wanting to collect the Night Lords, then I just decided that I didnt like chaos and wanted to stick with SM. So I expanded on the lightning color scheme and ultimately, the Tempest Guard were born. I know one of the general themes to the army is that their homeworld is a small planet with several moons, but has no exposure to sunlight. It has a real high precipitation rate annually. They excel at covert/night operations and rarely use tanks or bikes, but prefer jump packs and the use scouts. I will be posting a WIP thread in about 3 months, a long time from now I know, but keep you eyes open for it.

Some nice minis... Haven't read much fluff about the Soul Drinkers, so if anyone could make a quick summary, I'd be grateful...

I like the "borderline" factions, whose allegiance remains blurry & motivations unknown, so they seem to fit perfectly!!!

The dread is really dynamic, I love it!!

And the tactical Marines are nice as well...

Keep up updating!

I like the sound of the TG, Aim an INSANE fan of night lords and there books.

Aim using magnet for all the ASM so I can take off the jump packs and keep them as normal if I what to. Once the mould is done off the blood angel jump packs they will be ready to kick ass.

I used DOW2 army paint to see how my boyz world looks, before I started painting them give it a try good fun

If you ever what to trade any bitz drop me a PM any time lad

sorry for any bad spell or grammar

Soul Drinker fluff in one forum post: The Soul Drinkers recieved a tip that an artefact once used by Dorn(or some primarch anyway) in battle. It was a weapon of massive power: The Void Spear. The Soul Drinkers invaded an orbital platform to retrieve the weapon but Mechanicus personel teleported onboard at the last minute, stole the artefact, and teleported back to the nearby Mechanicus fleet. The Soul Drinkers confronted the Mechanicus and were denied the weapon, so they proceded to blast the imperial/mechanicus fleet to smithereens and then disapeared into space.

The Chapter master of the Soul Drinkers was outraged that the Soul Drinker taskforce (led by chief librarian and captain Sarpedon) would shame the chapter by turning on the imperium. A chapter war ensued in which the Soul Drinkers chapter master, along with half of the loyalist chapter were killed, and Sarpedon took control of the chapter.

The Soul Drinkers abandoned their fleet and were led to a supermassive space hulk (really, it was huge, bristling with guns). They believed they were beiong guided by the emperor though it turned out just to be a massively powerful greater daemon. The Soul Drinkers led by Sarpedon killed the greater demon as well as one of Nurgle's greater demons, then set off to find a way to stop their unstoppable mutaions that the greater daemon had caused. (Captain Sarpedon had grown eight chitinous legs and one of his sergeants experienced out of contol muscle growth, for example)

The Soul Drinkers were able to cure the mutation but had to leave Sergeant Tellos and many others behind to die. The Soul drinkers later found Tellos and his men again and it turns out they had turned to one of the Chaos Gods to save their lives (presumably Khorne I believe) The SOul Drinkers left the planet they happened to be on which was collapsing into the warp thanks to Some random Dark Eldar and was about to undergo exterminatus courtesy of the Inquisition. The Soul Drinker space hulk now called brokenback went down to pick up Sarpedon and the chapter and politely informed the nearby Inquisition and Crimson Fists fleets that they would cease to exist if they got in their way.

I can't wait to see your take on Tellos and the spidery Sarpedon. I enjoyed the novels and am curious if "Hellforged" was the final novel or not.

I have read the Omnibus but there are other(s) released that I have not read yet.

Wow, thanks!!

So, from what was said previously, I guess they managed to retrieve the Void Spear from the AdMech party?

And what about their geneseed legacy? Were they descendants of the Imperial Fists, for being so obsessed with an artifact supposedly owned by Dorn?

In my mind I had thought they had Blood Angels roots...

Ah many peeps think that because of the chalice, they get that name from there over active Omophagea gland that mean, they see the whole life of the person they drink, IE their SOUL..... So very very kool. Hell forged was awesome too lad.

Yep they have the soul spear it a weapon beyond all other that I have read of. I would say though that the Spear of Telesto is more powerful and that say some think.

It's kinda funny that this topic was started at this time, since I happen to be commissioning an entire souldrinker army for a buddy of mine right now. I've got a tac squad and chaplain done so far. His are going to be post heresy pre-getting their entire chapter almost destroyed souldrinkers. He is also gonna run them as blood angels.
