Thought for the day: What thou copyeth, thou must also pasteth.

Hello all, and welcome to the forges of Rujorua.

About a year ago I reimagined my warhammer 40k experience, and came up with the forgeworld of Rujorua, a planet in a system roughly to the galactic southeast of the eye of terror. 50 years after colonization by the mechanicus, a warpstorm blocked the system and also hid the forge's development.

When the storms abated 400 years after first blowing in, and a contact fleet approached, they found the magi had raised a significant millitary force (all "skitarii" based, but in reality just a large imperial guard-esque force loyal to the mechanicus) called the legio scutulatus or "shield legion" to ward away the possibility of dark mechanicus/chaos attack.

The predicted attack had come, and as such the force wa able to counter and gain valuable war experience.

I have recently begun adding to what I built and painted in my originial burst of enthusiasim for the project (i drift from each of my four armies during the year to keep me sane - read: from painting the same color too much-)

Here is a quick video recap of what I have done:

A look at the legio

Over the coming days, my objectives are to firm up the foundations of this thread with some hard pict files, as well as a data slates worth of text material for you to pour your thrice sanctified optical units over.

For now, I invite you to enjoy the live video file and provide feedback via the Noospheric input box below, which I will read and Reply to. More progress will also be forthcoming.

May the omnissiah Bless your bionics,

LM


the promised pics.

WIP 5th Welders Cohort storm squad:

Nice collection with some cool conversions. I especially like the colour you've gotten on the flagellants' (I'm guessing they're psychers) skin. Is that a flesh paint with a blue wash?

Correct. They are Electro-priests who I use as a Psyker battle squad. It is dwarf flesh with an asurmen blue wash.

Thanks for the compliment!

My first medusa, a custom built by someone who I traded with. out of said trade I recieved it. It is the first of my motor pool.



I hope to paint it red. If i can find a small enough cog I'll add that as well.

Some nice ideas going on here. A little more time spent on your painting and these would be great, a nice ink wash here and there would be a good idea.

Also I find if you keep your bases roughly the same colour/layout it would really tie them all together.

nice work.

Thanks T-R.

I actually spend a good amount of time on these. for instance, one squad of the 3rd rifles took me 6 hours.

Because of the way I convert and the way my bitz arrive, a consistent base scheme has been impossible, therefore I substituted with fluff to explain it and keeping the colors the same (grey, dark blue, and red)

And here is my new "chapter master" for the knights of the cog:
