The Celestial Lions 3rd Company



A marine chapter first covered in the background of the Third War for Armageddon, the Celestial Lions were famed for their sense of justice and fairness, and which drove them to oppose the Inquisition. In doing so, they sealed their fate, and the Inquisition turned on them, and assigned the entire chapter to Armageddon. They received bad intelligence at every turn, fell into ambush after ambush, and "Ork" snipers that were "eerily accurate" killed off all their apothecaries, and thus the gene-seed of the fallen Lions baked in Armageddon's sun. Armageddon would be their last stand.

I'm a sucker for a doomed chapter, and quite frankly, I love this army, but I never play it. I put a lot of love into it. Almost every Power Armor infantry model- save the third tactical squad, and some of the devs- has a custom made lion head shoulder pad, which you can see on the models below:



As you can also see, they have also have the metal GW shoulder pads to mark them as tactical and devastator marines as well.





My Apothecary dreadnought. My (non-canon) back story on him is that he was the one apothecary who was merely wounded on Armageddon, and essentially, he interred himself in his own sarcophagus. The Techmarines guided the last steps, and modified the dread to allow him to continue his holy work. In Apoc, we allowed him to radiate FNP in a 6 inch radius for +50 points.




It will also include my old school Cato Sicarious model.


THIS IS IMPORTANT: Not pictured, but still included in the sale: 5 additional tactical terminators, 1 with chainfist and a magnetized assault cannon, and 5 scouts, sgt with a power weapon. Everything is fully painted and based to a table top quality.

For your reference, here is what is included in the sale:

GIVE THIS ARMY A HOME.
