Knights of the Sepulchre - First Update

Joe:

As a special chapter of the Inquisition, the Knights of the Sepulchre, or Sepulchre Knights are hunters and guardians of corrupted gene seed spread throughout the galaxy.  The chapter is separate from their brethren and only answers to the Inquisition, specifically an Inquisitor Lord.  The Inquisitor Lord commands his legion from the battle barge, "Relentless," supported by several battle cruisers of the Inquisitional fleet, "Blackfire."

Chaos Marines for the Dark Prince - First Update


Garrrett:
 

Chaos Space Marines - Emperor's Children
 
 
First are some of the Cultists. I plan to run them in units of 18 to keep with the sacred numbers.  I know GW is trying to do away with this, but I am a purist.
 



The Noise Marine Units actually might play better with the sacred number of 6 now that the update has been made for Blast Masters.  I also have added an Icon to two of the Noise Marines. These will be used as Icons of Excess if I want too.  Converting the Noise Marines I really liked the heads of the new Raptors models and used those. I also used the Dark Angels Robes, because I want the army to have a very Cult feel to it.
 



I included a Picture of my first painted model which will be my 1st Chaos Lord. I gave him the mace from the Chaos Knights set to use as a possible Power Maul or Black Mace.
 

I want to run him in a assault style unit with either Noise Marines or Chaos Marines with the Mark of Slaanesh. Going in at Initiative 5 on assault is always a good thing. I am not sure how they will perform, but I love the idea of a highly skilled Duelist Cult of Slaanesh which is what I am going for with the unit.
 

Last I included the Helbrute. I am very doubtful he will make it on the board much do to his bigger brothers in the Maulerfiend or Forgefiend, but we will see.


Overall this is the first steps on the army. I will post early next week on the possible lists I plan to run. I am working on many variants for 1500, 1850, and 2000.

 

Cheers Everyone.

Sneak Peek


Joe:

Here is a quick post to show what I am putting together. I will add more specifics and details soon. I am still hashing out lists vs. the models I have base coated.

Behold, the Knights of the Sepulchre!

Status Report: Genesis

Joe:  I have played 40K for about 12 years now. I am primarily a Space Marine player, but over my time in the hobby and my love of modeling, I've collected many armies including, but not limited to Imperial Guard, Chaos, Demons and Tau. I started with Dark Angels, went to Imperial Fists and now, I am creating a unique chapter called the Knights of the Sepulchre. They are "collectors of corrupted gene seed" and will eventually employ Grey Knight allies. I'll get into more details in time. Thanks for stopping by.

Garrett:  I have been paiting miniatures ever since my first trip to the game store in 1979. Fast Forward a few years and I really began playing Warhammer heavily in the 1990s with Brettonia and Savage Orc armies. After playing video games way too long at the turn of the century, I got back into tabletop in about 2008 starting again with Warhammer 40K. My son wore a Warhammer Online hat to his day care and I happened to run into a father who played 40K. It was back to the addiction. Over the past few years I have built a Space Wolf and Ork army. Now with this new Blog I am going to be working on Chaos Marines, Emperor's Children to be exact. I have seen so many Chaos armies and with the new rules, there is a ton of Nurgle and Khorne running around. So the Dark Prince and I had a chat, and Emperor's Children it is. Our group plays in Ny and NJ. There are a lot of us. Time is always against us with our jobs and families. However, 40K is just too much fun and I am very psyched to convert, paint, and field a kick ass Noise Marine army. Cheers Everyone!

Terry:  Hi,  I'm Terry and I am the resident lazy sumbitch.  I'm 46 years old and I have been playing 40K since the beginning, back in '87.  I worked for GW as manager in the NYC store for a couple of years, and in that time I got to meet and learn from a TON of great artists and players; people like Tim Lison, Bobby Wong, Victor Hardy, Jason Morales and Trent Nighman.  So my working knowledge of modelling and painting is pretty solid, but I confess to being HORRIBLY slow and I could probably stand to get more hours in to sharpen my techniques.

My gameplay style is sort of a cross between fluff-monkey and competitive tourney player, meaning I try to put together competitive lists that still maintain the army's flavor.  I have owned and played many armies over the six editions, but recently I culled my collection down to Space Wolves and a Storm Warden army that is in progress.

The Storm Warden project has consumed most of my 40K times recently, it's an assault-heavy army based on Blood Angels rules and Deathwatch the table-top game fluff.  Given 6th Editions castrating of the assault rules, my army is a little bite-less right now, but I figure by the time I get two thousand points built and painted the Blood Angels rules will have come out, and they will get a little bite back.

I have a few articles in the works, mostly talking about the design and building of the Storm Warden figures, I used a lot of alternative parts from various sources, and I will see about getting some decent photos of the army as it comes along.

Jeff:  I have been playing Warhammer in some form or another since about 87ish, I remember shoveling snow for money and hitting the mall right after and bought my first minis; a Citadel blister of skeletons. They were lead then but the hobby as a whole has come a long way. I have gone through some different chapters with armies and such and Warhammer is still in my heart but 40k to me is where it is at. I love the fluff and have read and/or listened to so many of the black Library stuff it has felt as though I know the galaxy from a different view.

I have my old favorite the Black Templars, and am eagerly waiting for a 6th addition codex, Death Guard and World Eaters come in next, and then my back burners projects are Red Scorpions and Salamanders. I love both painting and Modeling and think myself to be pretty good at both. I am always ready to induct new people into the cult of the 40k verse. Play for fun and love the spirit of the rules more than the rules themselves sometimes J Only in death does duty end!!!!
