Ithought I'd go ahead and post some shots of my 4th Ed army, and second 40K army altogether, a Space Marine force entitled 'Purgura Avengum'.

It is the personal army of an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, whose legacy has followed his family's bloodline since the Heresy. Each member of this elite fighting force bears the gene-seed of Mortarion, primarch of the Death Guard, but they are loyalists all, and the minions of Plaguefather Nurgle are their enemies first and foremost.

Rules-wise, this army used the traits Take The Fight To Them (Assault armament for troops) and No Mercy, No Respite (optional Furious Charge). They were originally allied with a friend's Daemonhunters force, hence the occasional Inquisition symbols throughout the army.

I started this army in 2005, and built it pretty slowly... still needs a little work, but I'm not known for finishing things. The army was veteran sergeant based - every squad used them. Without further ado, here are the veterans.. and a few tanks.

My first veteran, and the second model I painted for this army, as a test for the veteran colour scheme. Note the rubbish banner. Please feel free to post laughing ork macros.


Power Fist Veteran - This fellow was usually a part of my Razorback-mounted veteran squad.


'Fisty', my dual-powerfisted assault sergeant. A member of his squad was armed with two pistols to make up WYSIWYG in 4th ed rules, but he's also equipped for maximum attacks in 5th... not that I play these guys in 5th.


Veteran with dual power swords. I love this pose.


The veteran of my single bolter-armed unit.


Veteran with Storm/Combat Shield. He usually led my dedicated veteran squad.


Chaplain Algus - making hits happen, more!


Scout sergeant - not usually fielded as a veteran, but here's a photo anyway.


My battlegroup commander - he usually sat with the bolter armed squad, providing the 4th. Ed leadership bonus and defending the most defensive part of the army.


A generic veteran-squad veteran with a book, he occasionally represented a Librarian.


Good old flash photography...


Three basic foot-assault Marines





My dreadnought, with custom Multi-Melta. Because we all know it's a long-barrelled meltagun, not a twin-linked meltagun. There's a green LED behind tissue paper, underneath that gothic window bit I used.


One of my rhinos, with a Leman Russ dozer blade, and missing a hatch door. I've got some spares anyway...


Finally, a Razorback and a Predator.


Hope you enjoyed!

Hmmm, it's the 41st millennium, we've got all this dodgy but extremely cool technology, give me a couple of swords! Very distinctive paint scheme. So many space marines are too busy.

Cheers!

The majority of this army is painted in different alternations (squad specific) of the green/black that the basic assault troops are in. I'm surprised to hear "distinctive", because I normally just get, "Meh, Dark Angels..."


Here's another shot of the dread, taken with a slightly malfunctioning four-year-old camera. I think it looks neat anyway...

Models look ace, nice scheme.
Nice to see older bits and pieces see the light of day!

Nice effect on the camera. Very pict screen.

"Tssch, We have visual......... Oh my god!"

o_- the window on the dred must be really comforting for the vet inside.

Its like the old home feel , he sits on his rocking chair while looking out the window.

That dread picture is win.

Your Marine in the rhino made me fall off the chair. I can imagine him trying to lean out of that little hole to try to take a swipe at something on the ground. All in all a good army.

Wow, this is looking pretty keen. I especially like the dread, but it all looks good.

Yeah, the chainsword just really suited the screaming Space Wolf head. I did clip his fangs and hair though.

The guy in the top of the Predator is also holding as Auspex, as though there wasn't any sensor equipment onboard the tank itself...

Very nice! I really like your commander and the predator.
