Shadow Hunters Squad Markings

Alongside the Greek symbology, the Shadow Hunters use a unique method of distinguishing squad types. For each different type of squad, a different portion of the armour is painted the companies colour. Images below show the convention governing it.

Battle For Durin V Piece and Pics

There have been no posts for a while because I am currently working on the humongous task which is the story of the battle of Durin V . It is still a while away but I have another preview and some pics of the models.

The Battle For Durin V

A huge beast was waiting for him, each of its four limbs was a huge talon. Its reptilian look was thrown off by the size of the beast, thick chitinous armour protecting every inch of its torso. Immediately a huge talon slammed into the wall near his skull. The thing must have been 10 feet tall, struggling to fit in the corridor. Solaris drew his swordstaff, ramming it into the creature’s chitinous chest, the blade sinking easily into the rock-hard material. The creature, a Carnifex, stared back into his eyes with a surreal intelligence and leapt backwards, tearing the blade from his grip, before scything forward with one of its talons. Solaris ducked the blow, as it slammed into the wall behind him with a resounding thud, and while in an alert state of awareness, leapt onto the beast’s shoulder. He drew a bolt pistol with his free hand. A quick succession of blasts followed, all detonating on the creatures armour. The attack did nothing but enrage the beast, which flailed wildly at Solaris, shaking its torso while lashing out with its tail almost lopping off its own head. Solaris hit the ground hard, the wind knocked from his lungs, but recovered quickly. He slid between the beast’s legs, firing more shells into its abdomen, failing to cause any lasting injury. It fulfilled its purpose however, the beast stepping backwards, revealing Solaris’s staff within arms length. He clamped his hand on it, before using it to channel a current of warp energy through Carnifex’s body. This over powered its mind, crushing any mental resistance and the Carnifex collapsed to the ground, limp.

Prelogue: Battle For Durin V and Pics!

I have the first paragraph of my latest 'short' story to let you sneak a look at as well as some pics of my two completed Tactical Squads.

The Battle For Durin V

Swirling madness assaulted the psyker’s senses, the warps power coursing through his veins. Quickly he constructed a mental shield, clearing his thoughts as the first of what would be many daemons probed the edge of his mind. But as suddenly as it had came the daemon vanished. Everything was peaceful for a moment, the warps power growing steadily in him. Then from nowhere a black cloud punctured his mind, throwing his conscious thought into turmoil, before crushing every last spec of resistance. A gasp of fear never left the psyker’s mouth.

Chief Librarian Solaris

He leapt purposefully out of the rear of the Thunderhawk, his assault squad lost behind him. Tapping into the warp he enhanced his already-formidable senses. His blade entered the first Chaos Marines gut and with a surge of warp-energy took its life. He turned to the others and raised his palm threateningly. Suddenly, great arcs of lightning leapt from his fingertips, incinerating the remainder of the Marines. Then Jason emerged from the mist, his black armour shining menacingly, blade sheathed, but glowing menacingly. Solaris halted, readying his blade and prepared for the inevitable attack.

Solaris is the current Chief Librarian of the Shadow Hunters, a beta level psyker of exceptional skill and power. Wielding an ancient swordstaff of unbelievable craftsmanship, his strength with the blade is matched by few and his mastery of the warp strong as that of the ancients.
Librarian Solaris appeared amongst the ranks of the Shadow Hunters almost 10 years ago, an already established Librarian. No record tells of his history before that and no-one in the chapter knows the full extent of his past, although there are many conspiracies involving it. He rose through the ranks quickly, fighting impressively on Durin IV, before spearing an assault into the very depth of a splinter fleet and annihilating it with a well-placed explosive. The resulting warp rift created – after destroying the warp drive caused the emergence of a Chaos fleet, lead by Khornate Warmaster Jason. The second and third company lead by Solaris lead a campaign against Jacob across many worlds, being thwarted at every defence. Daemon Hunters were dispatched to assist the Shadow Hunters, but on the fifth world of the campaign, something surprising happened. Solaris vanished. And in this hour where everything seemed lost a host of Thousand Sons materialised into our galaxy, and annihilated the Khornate force before the Sorcerer leading the force confronted Jason himself. Jason’s corpse was recovered later by the surviving Grey Knights, lead by Solaris who re-surfaced from hiding. After leading several battles against an Ork Waagh!, Solaris converged the Chapters captains and lead their fleet to assist in the defence of Terra against Abbadon.
He confronted Abbadon in battle mere months ago, bringing down 5 of Abbadon’s disciples and learning more of his opponent, managing only to lose an arm in the process. He has sworn he will claim revenge for his arm and is currently doing everything within his power to halt the despoiler.

Solaris stood, his blade ready and turned to face the despoiler. He was huge, even for a Space Marine.
‘I knew you would come Abbadon, you couldn’t delay this for any longer while I decimated your forces,’ he spoke quietly.
‘I think you, need to be taught your place. Solaris.’
The last word was spat out, full of spite. A smile flickered across Solaris’s lips.
‘I see it is only you this time. Scared of more embarrassment?’
‘Only worried that my blow will not be the one which ends you pitiful existence,’ Abbadon shot back.
Solaris turned, and dropped the melta-bomb to his foot, armed and ready before activating his teleportation device, and flickered out of existence. Abbadon would not be happy, and anger would lead to mistakes. Only then could Solaris take his life…

Chapter Master Causen

The figure crouched down as the Bloodletters approached, their horns glistening as his lightning claws. Suddenly he burst from the rubble – charging forward at an amazing speed before lopping off the first daemons head in surprise. His alternate claw ran through a second as the others turned, blades rising into the air. 10-1. But their advantage was cut short, as nine other Marines charged from the cover loosing bolts from their pistols.

Causen is the current Chapter Master of the Shadow Hunters. Bearing the Assassins Claws, a pair of ancient Lightning Claws gifted from the Ultramarines themselves, he is fearsome to face the wrath of in combat and a great leader – never faltering in the face of combat.
He faced Kharn in combat, losing one of his own arms before performing a risky strike, wounding the Betrayer. Several times Causen has lead small teams against forces ten times their size, and performed dangerous manoeuvres to annihilate them utterly.
He was one of 10 survivors in the siege of Fortswyth, when an Eldar reclamation force attacked an Imperial outpost, forcing the small defence force to hold off until extraction. Causen lead a portion of the second company in defence of the chapter’s gene-seed on their homeworld Durin IV, against the Tyranids and was one of three Marines to survive when a Chaos Space Marine force was summoned inside. Saren, the previous Chapter Master was killed in defence of the planet and Causen was elevated to the position.
Since then he has lead considerably larger sized forces against Warmaster Jacob and Abbadon the Despoiler alongside the Ultramarines, Salamanders, Grey Knights and Dark Angels.
He has been instrumental in slowing Abbadon’s advance and his tactically adept mind has caused victory in several major space conflicts.

Causen activated his lightning claws and leapt out of the back of the Thunderhawk and was suddenly rocketing through the air. He watched the battlefield spread out below him before checking his HUD. The rest of the squad were in formation behind him. When he hit 1000m the jump pack kicked in, steadily slowing his descent, but he still hit the ground hard – shocking the Chaos Marines. Within seconds he unattached the jump pack and leapt through the air, his claw entering the nearest traitor Marine’s skull. The combat would not last long, but the war was a long way from over.
