The Chapter So Far...

As the past posts suggest, I am collecting a space marine army of the Sable Swords chapter, an official chapter that I am throwing my own twists and creativity into (Hell... I think they have a total of 10 sentences devoted to them). The biggest addition is the different characters and the organization of 1st Company (aka veteran company) into a knightly order called the Black Chalice Knights. I'll save more info on the chapter as I slowly introduce the characters and different aspects of chapter they represent.

On a more tabletop level, I am collecting an army representing that of 2nd Company and members of 1st Company with Kozri'el Icaden, Knight-Captain of 1st Company, leading my force. My friend Josh is also doing a Sable Swords army based around these ideas and is collecting 4th Company with members of 1st as well, but with Chapter Master Guildas himself heading the force. 

Sorry for the far shot, only way I can get the entire force in the photo.

Here is my force as it standing. A scout was lost to the warp for a good while forcing me to play without him, but the Emperor has protected him and has returned to the chapter. Since my last post here have been the new additions.

-Tactical Squad Aratus has been completely finish and also a plasma gunner was made to switch out the flamer.
-Chaplain Iscariot, my personal best painted model I have ever done.
-Assault Squad Tregan
-Finished Eboran's (the dreadnought) base and scratched built a pair of twin-linked autocannons (Using a tutorial from Ron Saikowski) for him to use instead of an assault cannon and dreadnought arm.

Yeah not a lot, but school does that to your hobby life...




Besides that, here is my center piece model for my army. I present you Knight-Captain Kozri'el Icaden, Hero of Grimhall, converted and painted by Ron Saikowski. Utterly fantastic model, I am glad I got him.

Eventually I intend of commissioning another model of Icaden in power armor to use for different strategies and represent him in the armor Silverflame, but that's a story for another time.
