"I'm a Ghoul fucker, I'd fuck Cooper Howard" of course you would. besides his nose he's weirdly normal looking. The real question is would you fuck Gob?

preston garvey is such an og bro, and yes for all the reasons you're thinking of but also because like, he literally led a whole group of people from Quincy to Jamaica Plain!! AND THEN ACROSS THE CHARLES RIVER TO LEXINGTON AND THEEN EVEN FURTHER UP NORTH TO CONCORD.
he was watching out for this group of people who had just been run out of their homes. he stayed with these refugees throughout every disastrous place they thought they'd be safe, every death, and just all that grieving; all while struggling with his own sense of purpose ("Everything I believed in had turned out to be a lie.") and feelings of being a failure, that led him to thinking he'd be better off dead :( plus, these people from Quincy were strangers to him at first. he didn't have to do all that, yet he took it upon himself to do so. because he's just built that way. he's too good for the damn wasteland. </3
and like even after all of that, he doesn't hang the Minuteman hat up. he keeps on going, pushing the boulder up the hill in hope of making the Commonwealth a better and safer place.

Made a Dornian theme Kharn The Betrayer. He’s collected skulls, masks, and enhancements over years of war. Still learning how to do highlights, but I enjoyed doing this.

Balvor “Blackhand”
The Breaker of Oberon
Scourge of the Thousand
The Brutal
Captain of the Fifth
Malvain Balvor
Tumblr media
A space marine captain is known to embody everything a brother should be. Veterans with decades if not centuries of experience, there is little that can match them on the field of battle. In the Skulls a lieutenant must be chosen and judged by the whole of chapter command. Should the brother’s merit convince them, they are permitted to carry the soul of the previous captain and rise to his station.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Striding through the blood and fury of battle, Captain Malvain Balvor is that embodiment. Leading from the front, clad in blessed Gravis armor, Balvor is a beacon to the brothers of the 5th company. Unstoppable force and immovable object both he is unyielding in all things, his legendary perseverance pushing his warriors to new heights.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clad over his prosthetic left arm he wields The Blackhand. A millennia-old power fist, this sign of office bears the name of every captain who has worn it. It is rumored that the brother who can commune with every ancestor who has wielded it in the past will see its true strength unlocked.

WIP Stormraven(and a chunk of 5th company squad 3) I love fliers and the Skulls will be having a decent focus in their flying machines. However working on it has been a test and a learning experience. Never worked on something this big.
Tumblr media
Trying to get the 1k points all ready for a quick crusade chain to start making lore for them.

Oh boy, have I got news for you…
Is anyone else a bit hesitant about seeing the balance dataslate for 40k this thursday?
I know a bunch of armies are in need of a rebalance, mostly buffs for the least powerfull factions like the drukhari, admech, grey knights, etc.. But as someone with 2 whole armies who are on the lower end of the mid tier by power right now, I'm not too sure GW won't fuck me over.
Especially since they've absolutely refused to buff the sanguinary guard in a meaningful way in 10th, presumably in fear that they'll be as broken as in 9th, or made the sororitas the glass cannons they used to be.
On one hand I whish Games workshop would put out more balance updates to 40k purely to do incremental changes every month or so, but on the one hand even with the quarterly updates it often feels like too damn many.
In any case, I feel as if Gee Dubs will unnecessarily do something stupid to both the codex marines and the sororitas because some metq-chasing assholes figured out that they can spam one too many Arco-flagelants or some guy showed up to LVO with 30 Assoult Terminators with stormshields. Or even worse, they'll skyrocket the points on a unit because everyone is using it instead of thinking about why they're using it, like they constantly do with the Infiltrators.
Anyway, rant over...

Shield Captain Augustin Solomon & Vexilus Preator Renatus Victorian
Tumblr media
Custodian Wardens of the Carnifex Solaris shield host have arrived on Umb'ranox bearing a summons to a coming crusade. Forces of the Imperium are mustering a defense of the planetary system Theta-Gamma-1465 in the Pariah Nexus.
A single Custodes worth, as the saying goes, is measured in planets; to send two to merely "request" aid in a crusade is no request at all. As such the Lord of Blood gave the order for the full mobilization of the Chaliceguard, 2nd, and Cursed companies, as well as the entirety of the council. This leaves the defense of Umb'ranox to the 3rd and 4th companies; Captain Tybael now serves as the acting Regent of Umb'ranox while majority of the chapter's forces make for the rendezvous at Bahara's Hive with the rest of the Imperial forces.
Solomon and Victorian have now been imbeded as observers and council to the Lord of Blood. The Custodes attachés have also granted the chapter access to notabe armory of Terran relics to aid in the Crusade.

WIP for the boys in yellow
Tumblr media
This sculpt is arguably better than the official IMO.
Tumblr media
It keeps the peak in the armor, visually calling back to chapels, and it’s kept the cloak filling out the silhouette. From a distance he just looks beefier than the official model.

Skulls Sanctus Company Champion-Headsmen
Eleven there are, and eleven there shall be. Strong of arm and pure of mettle, our honor is theirs, and their honor is the chapter’s.
-First Chapter Master Vandune
The Headsmen are exemplars of melee combat. Warriors of undeniable skill proven with decades of combat where they did not just survive, but thrive.
Tumblr media
Tolvern Göttstein
(Tolvern is unique amongst the current Heasmen of the chapter in that he is the oldest. A warrior with little over 200 years experience, his skill and zeal for the duel has pushed him to the brink of death repeatedly. Yet, through timely intervention or second wind he has turned back every lash of fate. Over the course of his two centuries of service he has taken a placement as High Headsman, willingly surrendering it under the belief he had become slow in his old age.)
In the Skulls Sanctus, when a warrior of the company’s assault squads proves himself, he has two paths. Most join the first company, lending their martial prowess to the field clad in ancient relics, rending foes apart. Some, however, are better than the best. Their leadership and courage second only to their sheer dominating presence within the press of melee. Victors of countless duels against brother and foe alike, none remain who question their skill.
Tumblr media
When such a brother’s skill is revealed the current Headsman of their company seeks out the chaplaincy. Its members assess the warrior’s chosen prospect. If found worthy they will declare “Aspirant Rising”, a ritual duel wherein the Headsman will be pitted against their chosen successor.
Tumblr media
(Every headsman bears a book of ancestors. Within its pages are the names and remembered deeds of every champion and aspirant who has fallen in that company’s name. It is a holy relic, not one a headsman will part with willingly.)
Though the claimed intent of the duel is for the warrior to defeat the Headsman, none has ever done so. The reality is for the champion to see, with their own eyes and blade, if the aspiring warrior could be worthy of the title. Should they pass they will be granted the Red Skull honors. From that point forward they will be deployed only ever in strike forces or crusades containing the Headsman, the intention that they be kept near. In the event of the Headsman’s death, the aspirant will be given the fallen’s brain in a Soul’s Continuation ritual and rise to the rank of Headsman.
Tumblr media
From that day forward his life will be spent between meditative communication with the lingering spirit of past champions, training, and battle. His only duty to seek out the strongest foes upon countless battlefields and destroy them.
Tumblr media
(Tolvern is one of the remaining brothers from before the chapter’s Primaris reinforcement. Taking to his new enhancements, his bodycount of xenos and heretic grows ever higher.)
