Do conscripts fulfill that roll?

I think so...

Also, how about a full 1500 points battle on saturday the 18th?
A battle earlier isn't possible...

Do you approve?

Mind if I join in?

May I ask you a question? Do you mind if your character runs around the field with a huge chainsaw on his arm?

Spoiler:

Wow, I'd rather be something normal. Just make me a normal trooper then, if there are no other male sergeants left.

1 sec. I'll make some new pictures.

Although these still need to be painted.

Wow I'll be the one with the chainsword and the 'fluffy hat', please.

How does this model look? Good enough or not?
I'm sorry that it isn't a horse...
To make it up, I used the head of the Baneblade commander.
I'm quite fond of this officer, I really have the feeling that he is charging into the combat.

Where did we get those? I don't remember seeing them on Batavira

Lyzin Locrian wrote:Where did we get those? I don't remember seeing them on Batavira

They live in the forests around the equator and in the pine forests near the northern and soutern domes.

The beasts are called Striegs and we refer to the Rough Riders as Bataviran Scouts.
Just like our Skadian cows, they serve as excellent mounts and the Striegs are used for transporation.
We even named both of them after famous planets. (Can you guess wich? )
Because of the large distances between domes, we use them as messengers or fast response teams.
It takes a man around two or three days to get from one dome to another. The Striegs can cross the distance in just six hours.

So if necessary, they can advance in front of the main army and tie up the enemy.
Armed with a deadly harpoon gun they are fearsome opponents.

They also accompany travallers or deliver goods around.
Since we have big herds of Skadians that traval large distances, the Bataviran Scouts serve as sheppards.

As a Bataviran regiment, we take two or three companies of these Scouts, because they are quite useful.
Since they carry enough equipment to survive a week on their own, they can be used to scout large distances or to stalk the enemies' lines.
If that isn't necessary, we use them as fast response teams.
The companies are broken up into smaller squads and then split out among the remaining companies.

About the harpoon gun:
An ancient standard construction template was once discovered, deep inside the bowels of the factory world of Thurov. The gun was very powerfull and it was able to even punch through some light armoured vehicles.
Very quick, the gun was used by hunters on a lot of planets. The hunters shot the arrow at the prey and if they hit , the fate of the prey was sealed. The animal couldn't escape, because of the large rope attached to the arrow..
The Batavirans quickly adapted this gun and the Bataviran Scouts used it when moving large herds of cows form one place to another.
The guns were very succesfull in keeping large predators or thiefs at bay.
Upon abduction into the Guard, the Scouts are allowed to keep their gun. Using it to create terrible wounds on the enemy, the large hooks ripped out arms, legs and other organs. If you were lucky, the wound was fatal immediatly. If you were unlucky, the hook got stuck in your torso and you were dragged behind the Scouts untill the rope broke or your ribs were ripped out of your body.

Yeah, I love tha model. And the background. About the planet where they are named after: Krieg?

The last photo's weren't very good. This is the model I'm talking about.

You like the way you look sergeant?
If you want we can paint a name or something on your chainsword.
Or if you wish I can model him a bit different. (Think of a skull or tyranid head at his feet or something like that.)

Ha, I'm happy with the model Nicely painted, sir.

No one in Corovscowa ever used one, maybe they just don't like to live in the region near Corovscowa, proabably something to do with the terrain.

Glad you like, now try to train some more we have a large battle ahead in a week.

It's true that some domes aren't suitable for them or that it's difficult for them to reach the area.
Also can you tell me a bit more about your place, I'm quite curious.

hey, maybe if its not to much, larry's model could have his 'big bag of tools at his feet. and some tools and a book on his belt or something

I'll see what I can do.
Right now, I'm working on some guardsmen.

How about one of the Grey Knight books?
The terminator captain in the first picture has one around his belt.

As for the tools, I might have a hammer or two laying around here.

yeah sure

Those books are pretty cool

Just messaged loner about having a Techpriest.
So here he is:

Name: Adept Malakite Behmon

Nickname: Machine Whisperer, Though he would rather be called Adept Awsome-sauce

Favorite Food: unlike most Techpriests Malakite still needs to eat like a normal human, He tends to eat mainly a cheese that he makes in a broken down chimera.

Favorite Drink: Freshly Brewed Coffee

Favorite hobby: arguing with the commissars about his chimera, He insists that he can keep it where he likes, as "The Omnissiah Gave it to him for his birthday"

Pet: A large mechanical centipede named Fluffy

Description: Malakite would say that he is the epitome of what every techpriest engineseer should aspire to be, However he is dead wrong. Everyone says he must have some sort of mental disability. In fact, many doubt that he is even a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He has been caught mixing sacred machine oils with his cheese and rubbing it on the lenses of the lasguns saying this will make it good as new. The only reason he is kept around is for his outstanding ability of rebuilding vehicles (except his chimera because says it will one day sprout legs and walk)

Welcome, strange Techpriest-Enginseer

i am sure we'l get along swimmingly.

Nice to meet the new tech priest, to bad we don't have any vehicles, oh well, I'm sure we can find some.

You'd better be nice to him, otherwise you might find nasty things in your cheese.

I uploaded some more photo's in the regimental log.

And remember, fear our Rough Riders!

Perhaps a bit of a strange request, but are there any people here that want to be a fluff-wise medic?
AKA: In the stories you are a medic and look after squad mates, but in the battle you are just a normal Imperial Guard.
It's for a story, I'm writing...

I would!

Cheslav Ivanovich Vasilii, platoon 3 trooper 105 (sergeant) Nickname: Cheslav (sometimes Cheese) if you call him Cheeselav, he will hurt you

Favourite food: Cheese

Favourite drink: Vodka

Pets: Cat named Cat (hidden in my locker)

Description: Very Gung-Ho. No-one knoews anything about his past, and they don't want to ask. Always does insane and stupid things but they always work. Not very strong, but very intelligent, a great shot and somewhat insane. Great sense of humor, but takes things too far.

Model 54
Designation: Cpl Morbosis
Nickname:Troll
Age: 37
Height: 1.9m
Specification: Meltagunner, Second Platoon
Background: Once the ruler of a large and powerful underground gang on the Hive World of Illbostra, Faticus "Troll" Morbosis was once a wealthy and feared individual, having survived multiple assassination attempts by his ruthless command and own initiative, until a traitor in his own organisation turned him in to the local Arbites enforcers. Fearing for his life, Faticus pleaded he be spared an execution. Realising the potential of such a dangerous individual, the Troll of Illbostra was given a second chance in the form of Penal (haha) service. His fearful aura and survival instincts allowed him to make it through the most suicidal missions and kept the other Penal (haha) troopers in line.

After a week of battle on the Chaos infested planet of Giridion, he earned his freedom and was allowed to return to normal life. However, Faticus was not one for normal life, and he asked to be conscripted in to the nearby Batarivan regiment, where he could dominate the battlefield with his favoured blowtorch-style weaponry.
