I sincerely wish i had a majorly fluffy update with loads of cool pics and background to add as my first post, but i dont....

You'll have to content yourself with me.

We're working away on super secret classified rules and campaign nonsense, so stay tuned...


I should start cranking out fluff/ photoshops/ models after a couple of weeks, when ive finished my lsst labs of the school year.



Cant wait to see what youre brewing Remi!

Vitruvian

Love the fluff Remi, nothing better than a bit of viral warfare

And the conversion is looking to be shaping up nicely, good choice of base model, and the chain bayonet looks MEAN!

What kind of whip do you want it to be? Zinge Industries does some very good flexible wires/mechadendrites etc

http://zinge.co.uk/

Always happy to help

Zinge has some really innovative products, hes on dakka too, actually started from here iirc

Oi! I wish i could mate, im still right in the thick of uni

Got 2 weeks of labs stuck on me with little notice, all counting towards the next year. Not fun!

I dont think your wife forcing you to watch anime is a bad thing!

Stop putting me to shame! God i cant wait to be on holiday.

Hopefully this weekend should see some good progress on behind the scenes campaign stuff.

Being as im 6 hours ahead, i'll have a long think tonight and drop you an email.

And dont be modest, everyone hates people fishing for compliments......

There you go! A bit of arrogance never hurt anyone

You're right up there with all those names bro, dont ever forget that.

Yeah i'll hound my players to snap some pics

Only a couple will actually put effort in though

Im leaning towards Inq, it definitely wont be admech (though they will be making an appearance at last in one scenario ).

I need to pin down exactly what the players on my end are gonna bring before i decide though.


I havent had any chance to flex my =][= muscles, yet strange as that may sound! Its been all admech from me previously.

Time will tell.

Look people, shiny banner......


0.o


Started writing fluff for my inq gang.

Lord Inquisitor Ignatius Camille is en route to the Vanah system.....

Loving it! One hour tower!

That reminds me i need to finish off that massive cathedral i started, using pegasus stuff, would be a good final location imo.

Keep cracking the whip, they'll thank you for it eventually!

Given that ignatius is means ardent/fiery and camille means virginal/unblemished character in latin i think you can guess the direction hes taking....

Fluff on the way post-haste.

Ignatius Camille looked up from the text he had been studying, and was reminded of how much he loathed travelling within the Empyrean. Through the porthole the vast climes of the Warp could be seen, a sickening, scintillating coruscation of otherworldly light thankfully kept away by the Jerolin’s Geller Field. The sleek black Cruiser, named after Lord High Inquisitor Amathaleus Jerolin, sped along the Warp tides guided expertly by the Navus Nobilitae. A warning klaxon sounded and Camille rose to his feet, carefully closing the dusty tome and placing it next to several others on the shelf in his sparse bunk. He would be expected at the bridge, and Ignatius Camille always lived up to expectations.

On Listening Station D-07-JQ25, Servitor 1.T8-J twitched momentarily, registering a Warp-disturbance in the 9th Southern quadrant of the North-West galactic plane. It clicked rapidly in binary to the adjacent servitor before relaying a message via neural implant to the central node on the Forge World of Vanaheim. As the Jerolin phased into Vanah Primes Warp space, it was immediately challenged by automated protocol, somewhat needlessly given the calibre of the individual aboard. The clearance possessed by Camille was more than significant to allow entry to the System, even in such an unexpected manner. The Magos Veneratus of the Fleet, Prayetaxus Norle contacted the Jerolin personally, a mark of respect to the Lord Inquisitor, a gesture that did not go unnoticed. “We are honoured to have you in the System Lord Inquisitor, praise be to the Omnissiah. You have the Magi perplexed as to the nature of your arrival, perchance you will be wanting berth on Vanaheim? Or is it to be a more clandestine visit?” The Magos questioned, his monotonous drawl instantly recognisable as one of the vox-synthesisers so common amongst higher ranking Adepts. “I see no reason to hide Magos.” Camille replied curtly, “I will require a prime dock on Port Helena, and the Vanah System’s full cooperation on a matter of grave importance. I trust I will find both in order when the Jerolin arrives.”
“The Adepts of Vanaheim welcome any servant of the Imperium, you shall see your wishes fulfilled, and a welcome committee to show you to you accommodation upon arrival at Port Helena. Praise be to the Omnissiah Inquisitor”
“May your devices and desires serve the God-Emperor until time runs its course Magos” Camille replied, sub-consciously linking his thumbs across his breast in the sign of the Aquila. He hoped the Adepts would be amenable, too often for his liking they thought themselves a separate Republic within the Imperium, and too often they stymied his investigations with endless roadblocks, protocol and legislation. The Adeptus Administratum could take lessons from the Brotherhood of Mars when it came to red tape. With a half-twist, the Inquisitor turned to view the ever expanding Vanah Ssytem.

The strange star at the heart of the System, Vanah Prime, glowed a cruel turquoise lending the whole area a baleful presence. The Jerolin angled towards Vanaheim, the principal world of the Vanah System, setting a course for Port Helena that avoided Vanaheim’s moons of Heptis and Vanaheim Alpha. In the ship's bowels, Inquisitor Camille strode briskly back to his chambers, there to prepare for the tribulations he would undoubtedly face over the next few months.

The holo-lithograph flickered slightly, momentarily distorting the image it was displaying. On the screen stood a grandiose individual, bedecked in a deep purple doublet trimmed with gold filigree, a black velvet cape affixed to the right shoulder with an inquisitorial rosette. Elaborate Cyrox leather boots covered the feet, exquisitely engraved with scenes of the Great Crusade, and matching gloves adorned the hands, one of which clutched a scroll bound and sealed with the Inquisitorial emblem. Lord Inquisitor Ignatius Camille’s unblemished face looked up, he was satisfied with the image in the lithograph, and waved it off with a flick of the wrist. The Inquisitorial edict that he had personally penned on genuine ‘Paper’ from Terra was secreted into the breast pocket of the doublet. Confident he cut an imposing figure, Camille strode purposefully through the air-lock of the Jerolin, into Port Helena, and Vanaheim. He would not be stopped from unearthing the source of this disturbance……

Cheers Remi, although im not sure making friends is the right term

No i havent read those, sound very interesting though, will have to look into them.

My Inquisitorial team is pretty solidified in my mind now. All i can say is savage orcs, and a whole lot of pain.....



edit: Dont forget to read the 1st scenario bits i put in Dropbox...

Awesome Remi, great fluff and cant wait to see what you do with that model.

Speaking of modelling, some supplies arrived today, got some nice models in so i can finally start making some progress on the team and NPCs.

Got these:

Its just a regular old Vostroyan sergeant. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440247a&prodId=prod1070017

The Vostroyan, and the empire scribe and merchant will be npcs.

The orcs are going to become Camille's henchmen, i couldnt find any suitable near naked men, so with a bit of cutting and gs'ing these will suffice.

As to Camille himself, i have no idea, i got sigvald and lucius (the malifaux guy) to see what bits would go well together. Have to chop em up and see what goes where, i shall let the models flow decide for me And great minds do indeed think alike!

Will send you an email now buddy.

I have no idea, i think you may be thinking what you think im thinking, i guess you'll just have to wait and see, for now im gonna pull a baiyuan and say theres gonna be a whole lot of pain for these henchmen......

My head hurts......

Well Childe it apperars you get your wish for more sooner than expected!

I got hit with inspiration unexpectedly whilst watching Yu-Gi-Oh! and i leapt upon it, beating it into submission until it helped me achieve something

And with that, heres what ive managed to produce. This guy is gonna be an npc protagonist, a fallen noble swayed by the evil powers our Inquisitors are faced with.

He holds some deadly xenos technology, who knows what it does?

I started with one of the Empire extra fluffy bits... http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440091a&prodId=prod800004a The Merchant i believe this guy is.



Then off with his legs! And i scalped him for good measure too



The Adepts of Mars have provided him with antigrav technology...



The base! o.0



And here he is with preliminary GS work, and a terrible weapon, that is far deadlier than it first appears...



So theres the first NPC im producing, with at least 3 more in the works. Not forgetting the actual gang, and some hordes for the meat grinder.....

Definitely still a wip, thanks for the advice though!

They all look awesome! Great modelling Remi, loving the whip.


The automail arm on Ed is looking sexy too, rewatching FMA has made me want to do a marine in a suit or armour like Al's!

Keep it up, will be doing work in the doldrums of no-internet land rest assured.

Ooooh nice fluff Remi!! Seriously juicy stuff

And i cant wait to see what you do with such a sexy mini, been waiting since you first showed it to me

That is a mighty tasty chunk of story Remi!! Really great, you had me completely engrossed.

Wow, you really nailed the modelling there! It looks strikingly similar to Ed.

I love the battle damage on the automail, looks really realistic, great work.

I agree on the face, sorry to say but that does indeed look like some sort of skin disease! Id advise a redo

Just one little thing, im not seeing a pocket watch?

Awesome Remi!

The extra shadows on the cloak definitely make all the difference. Love the hair as well.

And another reference to one of my all time favourite animes! Kusanagi is indeed right, Major Motoko Kusanagi. God i love GiTS!!

I'll put what ive been doing in the dropbox for you to peruse.

Looking great Remi, love that hat. Some sort of brown ensemble would be really cool, nice and neutral, blending into the background.

The scenery is looking really great too, nice airbrushing.

Im not dead Dakka! Just really busy with having just moved and alcohol This coupled with no internet makes it really hard to stay motivated.

Hopefully i can instil enough gothic grimdarkery with my models for the both of us.

I'll have updates on the models i've been working on by the end of the weekend.

Vitruvian

Well i've finally got the internet, so i should be bacl to posting regularly from now on. I've got to work at a wedding this weekend, but expect updates after that!

Hey guys,

Yes unfortunately i managed to leave my =][=Munda stuff halfway across the country, so cant get at them for a good month. So, me and Izanagi revised the timeline and we now look set to get going after that disaster!

I have finished 3 of the npc's and made a start on the gang, but obviously they are not with me

So yeah, im gonna try and do what i can from the bits i have with me, as well as finally finalising the rules.

Hello again Dakka!

Wow, that really is a rather shamefully long time since either me or HF Izanagi updated this thread with pictures! I know that Remi has been swamped with the conclusion of his degree, and I was really gutted and burnt out after forgetting the majority of my stuff and having to postpone the campaign. Still no excuse for a month of inactivity, you'll have to trust that there was a legitimate reason

Reading that it almost sounds like we've been sitting on our arses doing nothing for a month. That couldn't be further from the truth, it was more like 2 weeks All jokes aside, the vast majority of the work we have been doing has been behind the scenes, desperately trying to finish our campaign booklet asap. We're not going half-arsed, i had the bright idea of making it a fully formatted booklet equivalent to a 40k codex or Dark Heresy book effectively tripling our workload. Should look better though

In terms of actual updates, i've managed to hash out a few more NPC's out of spare models and the few things i did bring with me.

So for now i'll leave you with this lady, a noble woman who has fallen under the devilish spell of the Sons of Midnight.....






Its nothing groundbreaking, just a simple arm swap really, but it fits with both the baroque noble-esque clothing and more importantly the theme of the campaign. I'd always wanted to do one of those bionic arms you always see in anime where the lower arm bends down at the elbow revealing a gun. Its not as smooth as i'd have liked, but im still pretty happy.

And thats all for now! But please do stay tuned, i have another two NPCs almost finished and ready to show, and I know Remi's been working behind the scenes.Also, with a bit of luck our campaign booklet should be finished within a week, two at the most, then you can really see what we've spent the majority of our time doing

I also need to find a group to do the campaign on the UK side with :S That will come once we've finished the booklet though.

For now,

Vitruvian out.
