Nice one.

The Excelar Victorix: Awarded to individuals or entire units for performing a great act that lead to a great victory.

Order of Avernus: Awarded to people gaining a total of 50 points.
During the Horus Heresy, a regiment of Elysian droptroopers were dropped on the Arnheim dome. The other loyalists would them move up and advance through Endhov to take two domes and the same time and get a swift advancement through the heretics their lines.
However this failed very badly and the loyalists weren't able to take Endhov nor Arnheim.
After one month, the loyalists were able to take Arnheim and Endhov. Among the ruins in Arnheim was one surviving soldier.
Corporal Frygisch Avernus, armed with a flamer in one hand and a meltagun on his back, walked out of the ruins, greeted the loyalists, told them that he had kept the heretics at bay on his own for three days and that he would like it to be relieved from duty. When the major allowed this, the man fell down and never stood up again.
In honor of this great hero, the Batavirans made a medal after him.

Just wondering, but would this lady be suitable as a priest or as a commissar? Or would she be a better sergeant?

Casualties:
CCS: All died, but it wasn't our usual commander.

Stormtroopers: One of the stormtroopers died, the others survived.

One of the blob's has only wounded and no big problems.
The other blob has no problems at all and will be back in action next time.

^ The model of the lady can be a commissar
a commissar who full fights on speed and stealth. The greatcoat that the commissars wear got to heavy and was weighing her down so she removed it in cover and charged with her squad towards the enemy

Considering the clothing she has, or rather lack of, I think she would distract our dear soldiers more then help them...

Also, Demitrix, remember when you asked me for a mirror? I think I found one!

I think the monsters creatures should start with the 1st meddle being 3 kill, because its not that often you would face them in combat really.

Wow, I look good. Thanks sir for finding that mirror, glad to finaly know what I look like.

Yes, mirrors are hardto find here on Batavira..
Lets find one for me!

Deja vu?

I would lalso like to look in mirror

Why don't you guys just use my mirror. . . oh right the ancient Bataviran tradition of mirror smashing I forgot about that (smashes mirror with face).

7 years of bad luck for you...

Are you sure your a Bataviran? Every Bataviran knows about the mirror smashing tradition, no bad luck invovled what so ever. Maybe YOU were just born on the wrong planet.

yeah but batavirans are so tough, we do just so the bad luck gives the enemies of the Emperor a fighting chance...

A fine point, good to see that you're Bataviran born.

'Tis a shame you were not a space marine, for your anger would be welcome among the mighty ranks of the ANGRY MARINES!!!!

Barbarians! The ancient tradition of smashing things is very old. Dating back to even before the Horus Heresy.
You see in the old days, we as Batavirans had glasses. Then some genius thought it might be fun to, after you’ve used the glasses, throw them against a wall.
However, as the glasses soon became very rare and near extinct, the Bataviran government decided to start producing metal cups.
Then another brilliant man decided that it might be fun to throw the metal cups against the windows. "Because it's glass after all..."
After most of the windows were broken, a lot of people were wounded and a cup landed on the head of a passing inquisitor, the Bataviran government decided that it was forbidden to throw cups out of the window.
Then another genius appeared and said that mirrors ‘were windows to another world,’ the inquisition shot that guy the same day, because there is no other world then the Emperor’s world. However, that didn’t stop us from throwing cups at mirrors. So the Bataviran government decided in all their wisdom that it wasn’t good to throw cups at mirrors.
That’s why there are rarely any windows or mirrors on Batavira.

I was actually writing a piece about why there are no windows on Batavira when I saw your posts...

And here we have our dear friend darthlakey and enjoy your mirror.

"You'd better be dancing..."

The painting looks horrible since I zoomed in a bit too much...

If you are unhappy with the way you look, just let me know and we get you a different uniform.

And for the stormtroopers, I'll look for a mirror once GW decides to deliver them.

the mirror looks good, but I would prefer one with a fur hat, still the model is quite well painted for a rank-and-file trooper.
ps. his eyes are a little disporportionate. (just some constructive critisisim)
sincerely,

nearly forgot:

Love my model loner, it looks great! All these have a lot of character and good paintjobs. I'm impressed.

OH good-oh the stormtroopers are almost here

and soon larry shall be fighting...FOR THE OMNISSA!!!

Why so careful with the critisism?

As for the stormtroopers, I'll paint them as soon as I have them!
