Sons Of Medusa! Round two!

Chimera Miniatures: Is proud to showcase my custom dreadnought "VERUS Lithius VAINOUS" and Vaylund cal Acts as "SMASHF**KER" don't like the swearing but its The supreme slayer Iron Hands character for my Sons Of Medusa! My Vaylund Cal Iron Thane ForgeFather! and my New Medusan Sgt:

Here he VERUS built  Just needing hands!:

ANd here he is completed And with the "Olympians Chain" (see fluff for details) added:

And Custom Librarian Mace!

VERUS and his hand held Iron Warrior:

The inspiration for him came from these two GW photos:

 Pretty much the Reason VERUS has a Skull on top his head!

(As Seen in the previous blog post!)

Vaylund Cal Smashf**kerWIP:

Building His Axe:

The final Finished Vaylund complete:

(He is literally built from pieces from 9 different boxsets! He's got scion parts for iconography and chin guard, Guard vox caster back pack, Head from the special edition free spacemarine captain, His hooks are from the fantasy Horsemen boxset along with his Shoulder pauldrons, his force handle, hand, arm gauntlet and wire are from Spacewolves Terminator Boxset, connected to a death company Arm! legs chest and custom axe are from the chaos Khorne berzerkers, helmet is from Fw, that another company customed, And the large purity seal is from the dreadnought! the skull on the carved of Khorne symbol is from an Old space marine back pack! He took a lot of work and carving, but turned out fairly well)

Completed second Sgt. Probably will field him with Devastators!

(Nothing with me is ever straight outta the box: His body is Chaos Berzerkers, power fist from Death company, Back pack Is Greyknights, with The Death company Dreadnought search light, the antenna, sidelight and hose are from the scions! and the Head is either Sanguinary angels, or death company, not too sure lol)

Group Photo Time!

"Smashfucker"! is coming along amazingly (now just needs clean up and paint) He's been a mad job to complete, lots of filing, cutting, and parts removal and adding a new, So much for him Being a Death Company Dredd!

Now time for some ridiculously long and hopefully awesome fluff (wip sorta...lol)

The Fuff:

"After the defeat on Istvaan V and the Death of the Iron Hands Primarch Ferrus Manus, what few of his Iron Hands brothers remained were tortured, and killed to the very last man, only one remained Ferrus' loyal Friend, and closest confident and the right hand of manus himself! VERUS Lithius VAINOUS was left limbless and lifeless, Fulgrim refused to kill him, demanding he be tortured for eternity, kept alive in the warp, millions of miles form his brothers kept in stassis and plugged into the unholy Terrem, a device that feeds the knowledge to its bearers form its victim, to learn all the secrets of the iron hands, this gave Fulgrim an advantage against the Ironhands! when Horus gave the hammer, Forgebreaker to the Iron Warriors Primarch , Horus demanded that VERUS be handed over to Perturabo as well, as a gift, with him wen't all the secrets of the Ironhands into the villainous claws of their greatest foe! now during the time of the Emperors Internment, in the Golden throne, the Iron Warriors would use this knowledge in an attempt to seize Medusa from the Hands, gaining them a foothold against the Imperium! 

Perturabo sent A thousand warriors through the warp, on this exodus, holding all the keys to the secrets of Medusa, he would surely conquer it with little resistance! Unknown to the Ironwarriors, The Sons of Medusas Three clans, were on route to the Great Iron council, To form a new allegiance with their old brothers the Iron Hands, Meeting the fleets before they ever reached Medusa, The Iron Warriors were taken by such surprise, By Vaylunds Fleets and defeated, When the Medusans Found their long lost brother VERUS, they removed him from stasis and interned him in the oldest of their prized relic  Dreadnoughts with the greatest of honours, Little did they know he had been in the Warp, and both it and the death of his brothers had affected him beyond, any mans control, When finally awoken his rage was beyond that of a thousand burning stars, it took many Medusans to subdue him, and only with a great mystic blessed holy relic called the "Olympians Chain" was he finally subdued, by the Librarian  SIGIL SEVARION! What Perturabo was not counting on, was  failure, and foolishly sending VERUS back to the Ironhands, and how departmental to the warriors of Iron, this could be, No one has a deeper hatred now for the Ironwarriors, then the Sons of Medusa, and on this hate alone a new found Medusan, clan was founded and the 4th clan would be forever known as The GORGONS Wrath, they are unholy grouping of crusaders hellbent solely on the hunting down of Perturabo deep in the warp, and die to retain and destroy the Terrem to uphold the secrets and knowledge of their once homeworld of MEDUSA! Forever reconstituting the once beloved loyalty between The Sons and the Iron hands, loyal brothers before the great Iron Civil Wars! It has become the righteous duty of the 4th to hunt fallen Primarch Perturabo, and his Iron Warriors until death!"

I will begin priming, and painting tonight after all my old Tactical marines are stripped so...

Stay tuned for the Next post: SONS OF MEDUSA: A C.M. tutorial on how I paint a basic Sons of Medusa tactical marine! and After I'll be posting All three of my new Warriors (form this blogpost) primed and painted!
