I've finally gotten as good as pictures as I'm gonna get for the time being of my army, so I've decided to start the army blog. Let's start with a bit of background. It's not fully fleshed out yet but as I refine it and give more details I'll add them.
Background of the planet Parnassus:
Parnassus was colonized simultaneously by both the empires of Earth and Mars. In the beginning there were many border clashes and attempts of seizing the planet from one another. Eventually an agreement was formed and Parnassus ceased to be a battleground. The agreement gave the world above the ground, with the exception of a few hive/forges, to the imperial half of the world. And the mechanicus gained everything below the surface. This agreement is still in place to this day. Parnassus' mechanicus half has been manufacturing and developing plasma weaponry from the beginning but rarely exports it, the ad mech hierarchy are very possessive and secretive about their plasma technology as they know few few forgeworlds still produce it in such quality and quantity. A favored weapon of the Parnassian regiments, armored included, is the plasma gun and larger variants. Parnassus has long been producing baneblade chassis suerpheavy tanks and russes. The imperial half of the world is governed by a duke, and the culture and styling is a victorian feel with definite influences from their mars brethren. The Duke also commands an elite division of the guard called the Ducal Guard who wear white armor and red coats. The standard colors of the Parnassian infantry regiments are tan uniforms with red armor. Armored colors are primarily tan with red accents and markings. As are the colors for the navy craft allocated to the Parnassian regiments. In recent years, Parnassus has gained the blessings of Mars to produce their own titans and found their own Titan Legio.
The regiments detailed in this blog are:
Parnassian 78th Infantry Regiment
The Ducal Guard
5th Armored Division
3rd Super Heavy Company
Legio Incus
The next post to come later tonight will be pictures of my models as they are currently and what all I have now that I've finally set it all out and inventoried everything.
