Hey,

Sign up now for the 197th Bataviran!


Our national flag, made by DarthLakey

Got the idea from this thread, so all credits to him: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/365529.page
I asked if I could steal and he said it was ok, so...
So you think you can adopt a Bataviran?

Adopting a Bataviran is quite an easy task, all you need to do is supply a name and pick a model for it.
So are you ready? Then feel free to scroll down, take a look at the avaible models and post a name.

If you are feeling creative, why not stick around and learn a bit about our regiment and add a certain background?

If you are really keen on it, you can read more info here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/331115.page#2177187
The regimental log can be found at this page: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/372298.page

I mainly did this because in my army, I give every Guardsman a name and a history, however I found out that I keep coming up with the same background.

Models marked with a (f) are female, the rest are male.
So pick a number and feel free to do as you wish.

Is there a certain rank that you want, but it's not in the list?
Just send a PM and I'll see what I can do.

Do i get a veteran in command squad for the idea?

hlaine.larkin wrote:Do i get a veteran in command squad for the idea?

Position is free.

Leonard Gylls, model 3 in squad 2
background to follow-

Nickname: Leonard (he doesn't like nicknames)
Favorite Food: Turkey
Favorite Drink: Ale
Pets: Trousers the dog - Leonard named him when he was 3 and was embarrassed of the name once he got older. Trousers lived an exceptionally long life - 16 years - but tragically died after stumbling down a hill
Habits: Cleaning his weapon
Description: Leonard is a mostly humorless fellow who takes his role in the Guard very seriously. He sees himself as command material and, indeed, the company commander has complimented favorably about his shiny boots multiple times. Leonard has survived no less than three battles - twice his platoon was present but never saw any combat, and once he bayonetted an enemy squig that turned out to have been already killed by a land mine. He's neither particularly humble nor overly boisterous, but he doesn't like to talk about his own experience or accomplishments, saying that Guardsmen "shouldn't be sitting around yakking like civilians when there's a job to be done".

Thank you for crediting me aswell best of luck!

Sam Aas, model 1 squad 3

Nickname: Sam (He doesn't like nicknames)
Favorite Food: Chicken
Favorite Drink: Milk
Pets: Lilly the psychotic wiener guard dog.
Habits: Watching anime.
Description: Sam is a laid back fellow who takes his role in the Guard very seriously. He sees himself as command material and, indeed, the company commander has complimented favorably about his shiny las-gun multiple times. Sam has survived no less than five years in service of Batvaria, leading his squad against many enemies of the Imperium.

Model 2 in squad 3


Name: Steven Orgenswag

Nickname: "Ovenmitts"

Favorite food: "Whatever that brown stuff is that the Administratum gives us"

Favorite drink: Caffine

Pets: Bataviran Squiglepuss named Fluffy

Habits: cleaning his weapon and playing pranks on the Ogryns

Description: pretty gunho as a rule. tends to show great exuberance when in battle. loves "makin em go pop"

Edited the first post and keep up the good work!

Added new persons.
Anyone wants to show his/her femine side?

Demitrix Nulstovsky, squad 3 model 3

Nickname: Angry Man

Favourite food: Revenge (best served cold)

Favourite drink: Also revenge (still should be served cold)

Pets: Dog named Dozer (dead, killed by Alpha Legionare)

Description: A young guardsmen formly from Corovscowa, he left his birth place when it was destroyed by a single Alpha Legionare. The destruction of his dome took almost 2 years, the Alpha Legionare planted seeds of rebellion into the populace, and eventualy almost the whole dome was in service to chaos. This did not go unnoticed, and when a nearby force of Black Templars was alerted to this, they jumped at the opportuinity to bring the Emperor's foes to justice. They procided to begin the annilation of the dome's civilian populace just to get their hands on the Chaos Marine. Of those who had remained loyal to the Emperor, many were executed on suspicion of heresy, and those that remained were used as meat shields by both sides of the conflict. Once the fighting was finally over, only around 25000 of the domes 1.5 million inhabitants were still alive. These suvivors moved into whatever dome would except them, many would not be excepted into the domes and established there own settlements outside the domes and still live there to this day. After the traumatic events that took place in his childhood, Demitrix made an oath to abolish the sins of his dome, and many others followed his example, enlisting in the Bataviran 197th. Of those who enlisted, few are still alive, and they have been spread throughout the regiment. Demitrix himself is a calm and controled individual, he speaks with a heavy accent and often sits back and listens to most conversations between soldiers, only speaking when he has something to contibute to the conversation. But on the battlefield, he turns into a shouting, screaming agent of death, often screaming litanies of hate and redemption at his foes as he kills them.

Hey,

Changed the list and made it easier to sign up.
Tomorrow we are going on patrol near the outskirts of town.
Any volunteers willing to come along?

Looking good i'm up for a patrol, i would reccomend you list each squad horizontally too

3 more hours 'till combat, anyone else tagging along?

Psh. You better not get me killed.

Double rum rations for anyone that tags along!
We are about to go...

Trooper Aleph, 1st platoon, 1st infantry squad.
Background:
Dislikes-Clocks, heretics, xenos and guard duty
Likes-Shooting at heretics, shooting at xenos, shooting at clocks, not being on guard duty
Weapon of choice-Lasgun

Updated roster! New recruits are welcome!
Also, if you want, I can make small conversions on the models.
(Think of it like this: "Hates Orks" ---> Ork head glued to the base. Or "fought against Tau" ---> armed with a pulse carabine intead of a lasgun.)

I hate Tau with a burning, burning passion. Model my guy so he is standing atop a pile of dead Tau.

How does a dead Tau at his feet sound?

Name: Samuel Linius
Nickname: 'Homebrewn'
Ranking: Stormtrooper Sergeant
Fav. Food: Pancakes.
Fav. Drink: Beer.
Doesnt like: Xenos, Inquisitors, Space Marines.
Likes: Eating pancakes, drinking beer and sleeping.
Description: Your averga stormtrooper sergeant. With hair. Wow.

Okay.

Put me in the patrol sir. I'm eager to get crackn at some heretic's skull, or who ever it is we're going to fight, as long as I get to use my axe.

P.S. Put an axe onto my model so that my statement is valid, preferably one that fits onto his back.

Thanks.

Welcome to the party!

I hope you like the standard stormtroopers, 'cause those are the ones I use.

Lyzin Locrian wrote:Put an axe onto my model so that my statement is valid, preferably one that fits onto his back.

On his back I don't know, but I do have one that wears a axe around his waist.
I do got some Khador models and they have axes.
I have one that stands in the middle and the one just left of it. Any preference?

The running one in the middle seems good, he certainly looks like an angry man. If I can't have him then the bearded one will do just fine.

Also is there any fluff for those guys in the pictures? If not it would be cool to say that these are the survivors from Corovscow, since they seem to fit the bill for what I had in mind for them, if that's alright with you of course.

Demitrix: Any news on the patrol sir, I'm getting a little bit anxious for some action.

Not a work of art, yet I think it's pretty gruesome...

They are from warmachine Privateer Press. Khador faction to be precise.
http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/khador
Feel free to poke around on the website and look at some models.

I quite like these models:



I ain't so strict with WYSIWYG, so there a number of different models in it from different games.
Feel free to post what you like or what you want to use or what models I should get. (I don't promise I'll get them, but I'll certainly take a look.)
Chances are that I might have them or that I will get them.
