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

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

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

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Blood Reaper gets it!
You get 10 brownie points!

My guys will follow Malal!

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

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.



M.K

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

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?

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...

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

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






M.K

-DELETED-

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!!!







M.K

I'm stumped on what to use for the Secret Bearer symbol, so could some kind souls give me some ideas?

As always, more soon,


M.K

Seeming its been over a week since I last posted, I decided to post some pics of what i've been doing on the SoR





until next time
M.K

thanks wolfshadow, I only just saw the mold line my self, i'll fix it up when I get the chance.


M.K

Ok wolfshadow, I'll try that!

Yggdrasil wrote:did you change your avatar?

Yes, I did.

also, I don't know wether any one relised, but on the previous page I stated I changed the name of the sorcerers to Secret bearers, thats what I meant by help on the icon for the secret bearers



M.K

Don't worry Yggdrasil, I should have said symbol, not Icon.

Anyway, the (chaos) marine is almost done! just a few small details to go!








M.K

Depends really, sometimes my camera switches from macro to auto if I get to close (I know, weird)
Those photos were good by chance! The flash (Which I don't know how to turn on/off) went off when I tried to get a photo using natural light, giving the shown results!

you can't see it easily I the 1st Photo, but I black dotted the barrels.
Is the plasma glowy enough?


M.K

the closesed I could get to locking the flash on was a special mode that takes to photos on after the other, one with and one without flash.

I'll try to get a lighter highlight, what colour do you think I should add/intensify in a 2:2 mix of blood red and sunburst yellow?


M.K

would golden yellow do? I don't have blazing orange

Okay, highlighted the plasma with a 3:2 mix of suburst yellow and blood red.
What do you think?


M.K

Thanks!
Would Google Picassa be any good, as I can't find windows Image Editing on my computer


M.K

Is that good?
Or is it bad?


M.K

Thanks Lakotawolf

Okay Yggdrasil, I'll do a 2:1 mix of Sunburst yellow/blood red for the glow + coil then a 5:2 mix of Sunburst yellow/blood red for coil.
Sound good?


M.K

How does the Plasma look now?


Also, I gave the model a thin wash of Badab balck. How does it look?



M.K

Me, brave!
Naa just trying to learn new things (mind you, I did all that on my own!)


M.K

Mold lines?
Where?!
I can't see any

The right sides a bit hard with that bit sticking out, but i'll try to fix it up.
One more highlight you say,too.
Ok I'll do that.

Ahh, now I see them!
Thanks

What colours shoud I use for the glow on the re-breather and chest plate?


M.K

Here is the plasma:



C&C Needed!
