Hi dakkaites!
Above is the colour scheme for The Sons of Remembrance, my CSM legion in the making.

Their Symbol (icon?) will be a tome wrapped in chains.

No more pics at the moment, more in the future though.

M.K

I like the simple scheme, got any fluff?

Sort of,
I'm making some more up at the moment.
I did have alot at one stage, but I forgot some of it!



M.K

Intersting, yet relatively simple scheme.

Are you going Undivided, or are you going to be allied to any particular Chaotic power?

At this point, slavishly following one God

Hmmm
Lets play 'Guess the chaos god'!
The person who guesses correctly first (if there is any) will get a cookie or 10 brownie points, I can't decide!


M.K

Tzeentch.

Yeah, I would have guessed Tzeentch as well.

However... Since thats taken, Khorne.

Slaanesh

Mala

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Blood Reaper gets it!
You get 10 brownie points!

My guys will follow Malal!

The paint scheme reminds of pre-heresy word bearers, looks good though.

Thank you Mr Nobody.

The picture above shows a Sons of Remembrance marine, two Legion Insignia and the symbol of their memory weavers (thats what they call their sorcerers).



M.K

Cool look, I look forward to the fluff and model pics!

Heres some of the fluff I have so far:

***Transmission start*
Legion: Sons of Remembrance
Ally: Chaos
Warcry: The forgetful will be forgotten!
Home World:The Daemon world of M'nemosyne
Leader: Legion Lord Munin, Master of Memories
Specialty: Full scale conversion, mass annhilation
Status: Unknown, Thought to be at full strength
Current location: Unknown

The Sons of Remembrance first appeared in early M37, causing grief through-out the galaxy for no known reason. They were defeated after they fought and disputed between them-selves. This, in its self, took several Space Marine chapters to stop. With their forces depleted, they were easily forced back into the Eye of Terror. After recently re-appearing, the Inquisition thought that they weren't a threat and sent a Space Marine strike force from one of the less important chapters to destroy them. To their horror, this as well as many other strike forces were all but annhilated. This lead to several chapters being sent to stop them. This lead to an all-out war, which the traitors won. In one of the many battles, Inquisitor Thoy Larkin reported that one of the traitors screamed out how the galaxy has forgotten the Master and his servants, and that all the forgetful will be crushed.
The Sons of remembrance have seemed to place differences aside for a common cause, and with so many becoming heretical in their wake, only time will tell if this sudden out-burst can be destroyed; or even halted, for that matter...
*Transmission ended***


More fluff is in the process of being made.

Edit: thank you Yggdrasil for fixing up the spellin mistakes, much appreciated.

Wow, some quite nice small starting fluff - especially the name of their homeworld (Mnemosys is my username on e-bay lol).

I'd just suggest that you could hint at Malal in that simple description... Something like "they don't seem to be following any of the four ruinous powers. Reports of their sorcerers using previously unknown psychic powers forced the Inquisition to set up a task force solely intent on researching the source of their power"... It could add to their mystery feel, IMHO...

On a side note, when are we going to see to minis?

Malal kicks ass. Best god of the lot, most chaotic and the guy barely gets the air time he deserves!

Thanks for the ideas Yggdrasil!
And the minis, I'm painting a memory weaver (sorcerer) at present. You'll see proper CSM minis in about a fortnight.

Heres where we were up to in the fluff last time.

*Transmission Ended***

And here's where we are now:

***Transmission Start*

Near the end of what became known as 'The 2nd Forgotten War', the Inquisition met daemons never seen before. They looked similar to lizards with wolves' heads. Not only that, but previously unknown psychic powers were used. After various meetings, it was decided that Inquisitor Thoy Larkin should be placed in charge of all further inquiries. He soon after started to follow the Sons of Remembrances' actions and searched through all the data from their previous appearance back in M37, but still didn't have any idea on how to stop them, or even what they were looking for if they were trying to find something. Larkin believes that the "Master's" name may be hidden in some ancient tome, or even locked in the minds of some Imperial and xenos warriors or leaders.
After conducting more research, Larkin realised that it seemed like that they didn't follow any of the 4 ruinous powers. Not only that, but their Khorne Bezerker and Thousand Son allies seem to feel uneasy in their presence, and will use any chance possible to bring harm to the Sons of Remembrance while making it seem an accident.
The lack of information about this outburst will make it hard to stop this menace, all though we can be assured that Inquisitor Larkin will provide us with more information when he gets it. Using the information we have, though, we may be able to turn the Sons of Remembrances' allies against them, and all though this is risky, it may be the only chance we have...

I'm a big fan of your *transmission* style of fluff. It's very 40k. Do you think you'll also write a story? Or keep with the style you're using?

At one stage, I think I will write a story, but maybe only for the special characters (Munin, for example)

Sorcerer/Memory weaver still being painted, but I'm thinking of waiting till I get a Chaos Terminator Lord to convert into one.


M.K

Heres my first mini all painted up!





M.K

Looks cool! I can tell you have some talent blooming! Try to make the face a little more defined, and the model will really 'pop'

Also, I love malal armies! He's a badass, for sure

Yeah, he's nice!!!

A bit too much of red for my taste, but he's a follower of Khorne after all, so nothing to worry about...

How about a mini with "The Forgotten" grey scheme?

How about a mini with "The Forgotten" grey scheme?

Yea! you promised Grey yet we get Red!!

We Want GREY!

heres the WIP of the grey sceme (near complete!)






M.K

I like it. Nice use of mix of preheresy loyalist and Chaos bits.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Promising... Keep it up!

-DELETED-

Bit tip. Get more lights on your minis when your taking a pic. Put it right under a desk lamp. I'm having issues myself getting good pics of my stuff. The better your pictures get, the more comments people will leave you, I'm finding.

That being said, I like the staff that the sorcerer has. Looks neat.

Thanks for the tip Wolfshadow, I'm uploading photos with better lighting now.
Also, I'm changing the name and symbol of the Memory Weavers. From now on they will be know as Secret Bearers and I'm still coming up with a symbol.

Also on a side note, using my still unpainted SMs with my CSMs in 1000 point games, I smashed SW (ahh revenge on those mangy mutts is sweet) and lost to orks. Heck, I play orks AND I LOST!!!
