Title: The Lost XVIIth - The Fluff Expanded


Arden Fell - March 11, 2009 07:10 PM (GMT)
Right-he-ho.

As I posted in the Article Section, I'm going to start posting the info here on the 17th Company Luna Wolves.

This thread will include all the info I have come up with to date, Iconography, colour schemes, model builds, modified game rules, etc.

So to get the ball rolling......

Here are a few snaps of Revus Tor - WIP :D

I should really finish Arden for the comp but I just couldn't resist putting a frame together. Decisions are yet to be made on how PH his new armour will be. Thinking more subtle the better. maybe leather accent's and PH helmet but not too much. This will allow others to come up with his PH armour if they want.

Anyway enjoy....

Basic pose - heads will be interchangeable to allow with/without helmet.

1st - 140 + 200 + 30 = 370pts
2nd - 200pts
3rd - 170 + 15 = 185pts
4th - 170 + 15 = 185pts
5th - 100pts
6th - 100 + 15 = 115pts
7th - 90 + 10 + 15 + 50 = 165pts
8th - 90 + 15 + 15 + 35 = 155pts

Total of 1475pts (men only - no transport)

Haven't posted on this thread for a while as I've been collecting parts, building the company and some scenery, which I might do a wee tute on if anyone is interested and generally been busy in real life.

Anyway, I have several queries based on the Lost XVII storyline I'm writting on the other forum.

1) Do I team Arden up with the Interex for the battle against the Kaos kinebrach & Tyranids? If so what weaponry can I then transfer into the new arsenal of the 17th in the 41 millenium?

2) As mentioned earlier Kelus Tor gets killed in a later battle (not in the current storyline). What is the story behind Dreadnaughts? Do they retain the personality of the character entombed? If the 17th didn't have one on the Dark Wolf at the time of the warpstorm, how would they get thier hands on one? Could they build one themselves (afterall they have 10k or so to build one)? Again could this incorporate Interex tech or weapons?

3) Should I paint up some Crimson Fists to act as support and to bolster the 17th for tabletop battles? I feel that although there is a high number of terminators in the company there is no room for tanks, rhinos or other vehicles as the company only has access to Droppods from the Dark Wolf.

4) Back to the Interex, what info do we have on them other than FG? How long do they live, etc? Would it be possible to have the crew of the Corealis in battle acting as say Imperial Guard or Eldar? This might require a bit of lateral thinking to the storyline again as I had original planned that all would die except the 17th in the 11k lost in the warp.


Suggestions and comments welcomed.

I'll start to post of pics of the finished squads as I go.

(Barrick's Scouts are done but after realing Shrouds Camo netting thread I may still tweak them Ghillie Suits anyone?)

Come on guys, I thought you'd be a little bit more helpful. :(

In reposnse to my own questions:

1) the best I can come up with is a small single handed cross bow, similar to the Eldar Shirkien catapult, but using fletch less darts. Longbow would be too cumbersome for marine armour. Powerswords witha modifier bonus when used against chaos (-) or armour (+), similar to the Kinebrach blade used to 'slay' Horus.

3) Gonna do a couple of Rhinos in Crimson Fist colours with heavy battle damage scaring. Seems like the kind of thing they's do for us. Fob us off with faulty gear again.

4) Decided that the Interex will not be coming to the 41k with the boys. Might do something special with Kelus as a result of Interex intervention though. Especially if no one helps me out on Dreadnaught information.

So please help with question 2) below.

Thanks.

Okay that's it for now on the picture overload.

Almost all the figures are still WIP with the possible exception of the scouts (although I am working on Ghillie nets for them).

C&C welcomed.
