Legion of the Damned - Veteran Sergeant Attica Centurius

Hello All, thanks for dropping by, an oldie but a goodie this week. A retro mini, not even in Legends now - but I can play as a Sergeant in the Legends LotD Legionnaires Squad, or in friendly games add a 'Ressurection Orb' as the Animus Malorum he is holding aloft.

I added some greenstuff flames to the base to match the other squad members and a suitable 32mm base rather than the smaller 25mm, he is a Character really... The Skull work was shaded using Skeleton Horde.

The backpack was a suitable Dark Angel one with a hooded skull and skull vents, I had this ages ago and put it aside for just this mini.

The rather palid flesh was painted using Kislev Flesh mixed with white and washed with Magos Purple. I chose black pupil less eyes to look almost daemonlike... well, what are they really? Manifestations of the Emperor's Will through the Warp??

And a shot of Veteran Sergeant Attica Centurius with some of his spectral Brothers. The 2013 rules from 6th allowed him to accompany a Legionnaire Squad or have his own 5-man Bodyguard. Whichever way I play it, he'll be a fun little addition.

Cheers, Siph (10pts)

Legion of the Damned Multi Melta Legionnaire

Before I had the Legion of the Damned Squad posted here, I had purchased the Heavy Weapon Multi-Melta Legionnaire to take advantage of the Legion's Slow and Purpseful/Relentless ability and Deep Strike (with re-roll if needed) to get rid of any pesky heavy tanks - looking at you Ultramarines! The problem was then to match the wicked paint scheme. So with a little experimentation and a lot of checking the other members as I went along, I painted this fella to match.

The hardest part was to do a convincing job on the armour flames, but I think they match the rest of the squad quite well. The bone pieces were simply Graveyard Earth base with Bleached Bone and Skull White highlights dumbed down with a Devlan Mud wonder wash. The flames from the base were taken from a spare set on the original Flamer armed Legionnaire, nice 'cos it means they all get some! Metallics were tarnished with Devlan Mud and Badab Black washes, and some Tin Bitz on the MM nozzle. Here they all are together, ready to deep strike and be a thorn in Pornstarjedi's or 6thDegree's flanks! I've scheduled this post whilst away at sea, hope the other two have been posting to keep you avid readers amused...

Legion of the Damned Squad

Not my own work but a rather cool ebay purchase i saw through Warseer (Animatronica thread here) and had to have. The cost was offset by selling my own unbuilt squad and another squad boxset I won through Heroes of Armageddon weekly draw (go donate to this great cause), so next to nothing really! I tried them out this week versus Pornstarjedi's Ultramarines and they ate through a Sternguard squad and Termi Assault Squad with help from Pedro Kantor before dying to a charging Marneus Calgar and more Assault Termies.I love the relentless aspect so the squad will get an additional Legionnaire with Multi Melta which I'll paint to match, shouldn't be too hard as i have these for reference. Their 3++ save is awesome and kept them in the fight for ages.

I changed their bases to match the rest of my army but kept the cool flames on the bases and have an extra one I took from the Flamer armed Legionnaire for the new MM Legionnaire. Also changed the Sergeant's bolter to a bolt pistol to make it Codex legal before I read a FAQ which says he can replace Boltgun and/or Bolt Pistol for Powerfist, oh well - kinda like the old style Bolt Pistol, so it stays.

A great addition to the ever growing Relictor force...
