Emperor's Pride

First off before anything else, this is a work in progress for my Deathwing army. The only thing I knew about them is that I wanted to run a Terminator as Troops army with some Lion themed conversion pieces I had seen over at Scibor. It was Markillius08, over at Dakka, who came up with the name so he deserves full credit for that.

So here I give you what I acquired for The Emperor's Pride Chapter so far.

First off I do have a Terminator Commander who was in the process of being converted....but he might be downgraded to a unit champion. 

Here is my Chapter's boss, Lugft Heron, I might remove the flamer left hand in favor of another in order to make sure he doesn´t look like Lugft as much...makes no sense does it?
For my second HQ Choice I went with a Chaplain in Terminator armor as it seemed the logical choice. I might have to look into using a Librarian as well. Time permitting I could eventually paint up the Space Hulk Terminators to match my color scheme (as soon as I figure it out).

My Assault Terminator Squad will be lead by Tyberos, the Red Wake. And Yes, I did see some nice models on Forgeworld thankyouverymuch.

I bought one cheap Landraider from eBay but that turned out to be damaged beyond repair as well as missing pieces. So I need to get my hands on another one at some point, or find bits to replace the things not there which might be problematic.

So at the moment I got enough parts to assemble up to 15 Terminators. These pieces include leftover items I had from when I made my Deathguard Terminators, the Assault on Black Reach Terminators and of course the boxed Terminator Squad that arrived from GW.


However. I am not assembling them just yet because I made sure to poke around for pieces to make them my own. The name of Emperor's Pride comes directly from these pieces, I saw them and I got inspired by their look. I did see an image a long time ago in the White Dwarf they were the Spartan themed Space Marines.

As for the helmet parts I do not like all of them, the ones I like are the following. Top layer from left to right: 3, 4 (My Favourites), 6, 7 and 8. I made sure to order in more than I need in order to get the ones I like. I also realized that the Shields are pretty damn tall. I mean 31mm that is taller than most models, it might require some work to get it all in order. As for the shoulders, for some of the parts I own there will be some filing and sanding required in order to make them work. 

I am confident that in the end though it should make for a very impressive look.... Am really looking forward to getting into them. Makes me wish the mail would go faster.

And sorry, no Squats today....
