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.

Thanks for the compliment!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2201449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2201449.page GMT


I hope to paint it red. If i can find a small enough cog I'll add that as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2213940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2213940.page GMT
Also I find if you keep your bases roughly the same colour/layout it would really tie them all together.

nice work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2215403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2215403.page GMT
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)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2216692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/332130/2216692.page GMT
