Keep it up!

Indeed! Most of these figures was done last year, with the exception of the Nurgle Death Guard since I have owned them since way back in 2003 I think. Well here comes the Emperors Children Noise Marines with Virrul Serdar and 6 other special characters from my novell, the old box before they removed the unique heads. I hate GW for removing these special heads which adds some customazation. I should add, several of these pics are old and I have to take some new updated pictures of them. For the first, they are 10 and not only 8 and colours should differe. This is also the first squad which got me into thinking "Maybe I should buy just one more squad more becuase its fun making CSM" and now Im almost a complete army later full.

And heres the last two which was a later addition to the Noise Marines:

Children of the emperor death to his foes

**forkmaster** · 01-10-2011, 12:03

Here comes the first regular CSM squad with the mark of Slaanesh. Its a bit disappointed in afterwards, well the colours are at least but I like them. I bought them after the Noise Marines and together with the first Possessed. I thought you guys might like curiosa. Fluffwise, they will be Third Ectas (3rd Squad) of First Company. They show a small part of the first novell Child of the Emperor before everyone dies taking a vital objective. The icon has been re-painted however.

**forkmaster** · 01-10-2011, 12:16

Well another update is that I got only 2 Havocs remaining until they are painted. However, I cant take any pictures as of yet as our camera is locked away until my mother moves into her new apartment. Here is an idea how they will look however. They got still the black and lighter colour idea, but instead of pink it is purple.

My idea behind the fluff is that these 15 Havocs will be under the command of Lugati Salkatar, a Havoc of the Night Lords. Sometime during the timeline, a mixed warband of Night Lords, Emperors Children and other renegades will form the Lost Children, as EC is the biggest fraction. The warband will be under the command of, as of yet, unnamed character. He will enter a gladiator type of game against my EC and lose, thats why the Havocs will join them. They wear the black, as 2nd Company does, purple like the First Company does but silver as Havocs, since in their mind the only way to perfection if through mechanics.

Also for those who are wondering how Im picturing Serdar in my head, its kinda like this without his helmet (which he always wears) but without the sonic weaponry.

New future plans, I will sell my old LOTR- and Fantasy-figures as well my old Tau army. They did their part when I was 13 and discovered them with the FPS Fire Warrior. Now I dont like them that much to keep them. As they are sold, I will get an EC Sonic Dreadnought from Forge World and a army box to make my First Company. Also Im in the planes of buying 3 old Obliterators if I win the auction online. It will end tomorrow. I will keep you guys updated. My next set of pictures will be the latest versions of the Plague Marines and Typhus the Herald which I have in my possession.

Love the contrast. Great work.

A very big thank you, my loyal follower.

Well this thread has yet to see my non-fluff-participating Death Guard members of my army. What I mean by non-fluff, is that I aquired some of these DG sometime around 2004 from my cousin, long before my first Noise Marines and they are not a part of my stories (or well maybe Typhus will make an small appearence in the second novel I will write). They are the first foundation I would think. When I did my Imperial Guard (yes I got one of those as well) towards the end I was like "Damm these are soooo boring right now to paint. I want some variety." So it began with Typhus the Herald of Nurgle, then a squad of Plague Marines.

**forkmaster** · 10-10-2011, 07:25

My first squad of Plague Marines, kept it fluffy with 7 squad members.

And my second squad, which all I have for now to show you guys so until I get my hands on the camera, you will be out of pretty pictures for now.

**forkmaster** · 01-11-2011, 10:46

Here comes finally a new update with pictures. It is my first Havoc squad, but it was the 2nd I began working on. Every member got a unique weapon of its own and they are painted in the colours black, purple and boltgun metal. They are members of the Lost Children add-on group that joins in the second story. If there is anyone you want a close look at, let me know

**forkmaster** · 01-11-2011, 10:49

And here is the long awaited Emperors Children Sorcereror. What kind of character he will be is uncertain as of yet. Either he will be a completely new character added in 2nd or 3rd stories, a bit like Ruven in the NL-trilogy, only that he is accepted and not too hated. My other idea is otherwise to make him be Zendras, one of the Chosen.

The sorceror carries a power sword and plasma pistol. He was made somewhere between the last Termintors + possessed CSM and before I began to work on my Havocs. He is made of extra spareparts and the lower body. I still didnt have a set of legs so I thought "Fulgrim became a snake, why not go in that direction?" However Im not to certain what rules applies about the base being from Fantasy, but I thought what the heck not?

**forkmaster** · 05-01-2012, 22:56

Here finally comes my update. This is my 2nd Havoc squad, but it was the 3rd I aquired so to speak and the 3rd I started monting together. Fluffwise this will be the commanding squad since it contains Lugati Salkatar in it, the renevered Night Lord Havoc, former sergeant of 9th Company. The guy holding the banner will be his second-command Novus Balkat (even though the mini has Emperors Children mark on the shoulder plate). They used to serve under Captain Zsan Morgran until his death at the hands of the Eldar at the split up of the Legion.

I got first the question why I used mark of Slaanesh for my Havocs, and I answered I wanted a fluffy army. Then came the idea that these Havocs arent only EC, but also NL, which meant I could use the Mark of Chaos Undivided instead and still be fluffy.

On another note, I aquired and have begun to work on Lucius the Eternal, but Im not certain whether I should go with purple gold, or black for his armour.

Now I'm back again, this time I shall get around to take some pictures as I got 3-4 squads which are done. I'm here to update what my army consiting of as well. As you all can see, my Death Guard are no longer apart of my army. They have been added however to my new Iron Warriors army (which I bought now during last fall), and together with a squad of World Eaters, makes a dangerous army. There has been some updates with my army, not only removing but also adding new units.

HQ:
1 Damon Prince.
Lucius the Eternal.

Elites:
1st squad, 5 Terminators, Phoenix Guard in purple and gold.
2nd squad, 10 Terminators, Lucas squad in pink and black.
3rd squad, 10 Chosen. Bears the mark of Chaos Undivided/Chaos Glory, not sure what it is called these days.
4th squad, 15 Possessed Chaos Space Marines. However I'm not certain how the wings works as only 6 of them has wings, and if all must have wings to use the jumping abillity.

Troops:
1st squad, 10 Noise Marines. Serdars squad.
2nd squad, 10 Chaos Space Marines, bearing the mark of Slaanesh.
3rd squad, 10 Noise Marines. Ora Nariuh will be a part of this squad.
4th squad, 10 regular Chaos Space Marines with Mark of Slaanesh. Sarcaas 8th squad.

Heavy Support.
1st squad, 5 Havoks. Lugati Salkatar, a Havoc of the Night Lords that commands 20 Astartes, mixed Emperors Children and Night Lords. This explains why they bears the mark of Chaos Undivided and not Slaanesh.
2nd squad, 5 Havoks. Bears no mark. 1 heavy bolter, 1 missile launcher, 1 autocannon and 1 lascannon.
3rd, squad, 5 Havoks. Bears the mark of Chaos Undivided. All wears plasmaguns except for the standardbearer.
4th squad, 5 Havoks. No Mark. All carries heavy bolters.
5th squad, 1 Obliterator. This is a still work in progress, but I think fluffwise this shall be Vermuleon, former tech-surgeon (prior to heresy he was apothecary). Now he will be infected by the Obliterator-virus, an attempt on his life by the sorceror.

Here is some pictures of my workstation. Once I get around to name my pictures and sort them out, you'll get some new models to be displayed. Also I will get around to work on my Iron Warriors thread after that:

Edit: Also I've now sold all my old LotR figures, my old Tau Empire army, all my Orks (as could be seen in my EC-thread), some Space Marines and half my Tyranid horde.

**forkmaster** · 07-02-2012, 11:11

So now let's go down to business and update with some new pictures. What really made me happy was to see I've got 5,375 views on this thread (hopefully not too many are my own) and a 4-star rating. Now let's update with some new Emperors Children. This was during the end of last year I got to think "I'm collecting a Slaaneshi Emperors Children army, and so far I only have 1 actual Noise Marine squad. This got to change." But as they have removed the cool heads in the Noise Marines box (screw you GW) I thought it would be better to buy a regular box (with 10 CSM) and the Sonic weapons (6 to be exact) from GW's homepage.

I'm fairly satisefied with them, some looks much better than others. I had some problems with applying the sonic weapons so they would actually fit with others That's why they look a bit... frakked up. Fluffwise, they will be 2nd Ectas (squad, my own way of making a shorter version of Ectasy) of 1st Company. Ora Nariuh, a Noise Marine, was one of the younger aspirants who was inducted to the Legion after Horus Heresy. He begins his career under Serdar during the 1st book. During the second novel, Quirrux notices that he is loosing power as Serdars gains more. In order to split the tight gang, he goes through the weakest point, Nariuh. Nariuh is placed as new squad leader in 1st Company (Serdar is a member of 2nd), with his own gang, while one of the former members of 1st Company is placed as the new commander of 2nd. Even though he is pictured as a squad leader, he is simple squad member as a model (he is the white skinned guy with a red tongue outside his tongue). On the first set of pictures, the guy to furthest right, is based upon Eliphas from Chaos Rising. A picture shall be added soon

This is the image I based the backpack from. Ever since I first saw it in the video of Chaos Rising I've been saying "I want that." Ideas sprung, came and went but then I looked on the Mark of Khorne from the regular CSM box and began to think "****, if you cut off the lower half, it looks like half a Chaos 8-pointed star." So I did that and cut it off. So far 2 models have had the fortune to wear them. One Emperors Child and one Iron Warrior. I'm considering, as these were quite successful, to make some more before my final model is done. Currently I only have 10 left; 4 Emperors Children and 6 World Eaters.

They are really good

**Duke E** · 08-02-2012, 22:21

the termies are very nice indeed and i like the nurgle

**Saul Tarvitz** · 08-02-2012, 22:46

I have to echo the sentiments of many of the earlier comments - that pale pink you've achieved on your Slaaneshi Marines is simply divine! If you don't mind my asking, how did you go about it? Sorry if I missed an earlier explanation, I was enjoying the pics far too much! Also, how have you done that pale pale skin on your Noise Marines? It's lovely.
