Small team of MCRN security forces

 


The MCRN (Mawrth Congressional Republic Navy) troops are one of the most active security forces deployed in the mining outposts of twelve of the twenty nine systems, not counting on the Mawrth system.

They're skilled professional despite being raised as a levy or popular army. That's because Mawrth operations in deep space and vast navy of small vessels that aid the transport the main goods, supplies and minerals required for the worlds around the Gnana Route.

Many young mawrthians start working early in the many branchs of the navy. By the time they reach the age of serving in the mawrthian defence forces, they are skilled engineers, astronauts or valuable crew members. Accustomed to close quarters, hazardous environments and precision strikes in the void, where a mistake can take out the lives of an entire patrol.

 After the long waited peace treaty between the Mawrth ex-colony and Thorbjorn, and the recognition as a full, indpendant planet of the Imperium by the sub-sector authority, many of the navy personel started serving as military and security contractors sanctioned by Mawrth parliament.

A small batch of soldiers for random encounters or a Stargrave crew made from the first mercenary kit.

Until the next update

Watch out for the ork pirates!

 

Boldog Shok-Truperz band attack Mining Outpost 72 after they got a short communication informing that the security forces are busy handling some kind of situation in the lower levels.

The Shok-Truperz is a rather small band composed mainly by the Goff clan retinue of Boldog. They attack ships, small cargoes, smuggle weapons and equipment and sometimes are even paid as mercenaries to do some nasty stuff when some respectable imperial citizens of the Buzhou Reach needs to get nasty without the attention of the law enforcements.

Mining Outpost 72 has several vaults of nice equipments that would be like christmas day for a Mek. That's why the moment a message intercepted from security personnel calling for help reached one of Boldog ships, they planned intervene while the chaos roared in the complex.

 

Boldog is always prepared to any situation, and his boyz can handle both close quarter to mid range combat effectively. At least while they are not ran out of ammo.

 

The Shok-Truperz are respected both for their efficiency and their violence while doing so. As the security forces were more worried with some kind of strange encounter in the Complex Beta, the small task force of the band was able to crack open on of the vaults and rob mining equipment, valuable mineral as well as many mechanical supplies for the band. The perfect hit as always.

No wonder that Boldog has a high reward in thirteen systems of the Bazhou Reach.

Blood Angels OWAC VI Challenge wrap-up

Challenge Wrap-Up


Finally, I can say that my fourth OWAC is done. Yay!

This year started pretty good, but maybe I got a bit carried out with the extras. I would have love to have more time in the last months, both for giving time for checking other entries and commenting (no worries, I've seen all your post now that I have less convoluted time, they're amazing and now I've been pushed into blood bowl madness myself!) and for putting the same amount of love to the pictures as in my first month.

Believe it or not, I had to left out some planned pictures and gags from the orignal script! There was even more foolinesh behind scenes that didn't get to be posted. 

Maybe I would need to write a campaign some day that includes all the scenes and the enemy profiles, even the ones that were left unpainted like the duke nukem's pig cops (yeah, remember the ones that disappeared in Monroeville? they'd have been shown in all their mutated glory)

Now, lets roll the credits and all the actors:









That's 2772 points of Rogue Trader godness, in the shape of 48 cool models, including 3 tanks.

And who knows how many points in current Horus Heresy. I want to get the opportunity to play in an event and see the faces when I start deploying this bad boys and several others I plan to convert in the future.

Last, but not least, for the moment I think I will try another OWAC despite it seems that next year will be also another... interesting spring.

I need to keep things simple if I want to participate and enjoy it. Another important thing to consider is that I may not start a project that I do not previously own or require large purchases. Instead, selecting something that is ready to be painted from my collections and reduce the pile of unpainted things. As my main dwarf army needs some rare purchases, and the orcs need an entire Ruglud squad, that disqualifies them for now.

I forgot until now that I had an old dragon that I would love to paint and several gems purchased from old middlehammer lots. So I probably will count the amount of elves I had laying around and get something interesting out of it.

That's it folks


+ AND CUT!

...

George, my man, that was amazing. I cannot wait to see the script for Blood Omen 2.

-Well, I think that we will need even more zombies. So far, I can only give you in advance that the ship will pursue doctor Vile up to a misterious space hulk. I am thinking about terrorific aliens, and terminators shooting unnumbered horrors. And probably Fabious is aided by one of the last orks after Ullanor, a mischievous painboy known as... the Reanimatork!


Until next challenge

Blood Angels last batch, Come Get Some! - OWAC VI June's troop month

Troop Month



T+042: The Blood Omen has detected strong warp energy signals from the area of the Word Bearers secret compound.
The radiation is dangerously high but not as high as recorded in the Signus campaign.

Lt. Commander Lazarus has to make a fast and dired decission, either evacuate the planet or be stead fast and continue pushing through the outer defences.


-Lt. Bahamut: We cannot stop the sorceror, he's throwing at us every horror we had faced before in this system. This may become another Signus. He's protected by his powers.

-Chaplain Giteau: I may have found a way to defeat him.

-Lt. Bahamut: What it may..

[BLAAM]

-Chaplain Giteau: Sorcerors are usually weak to overwhelming amounts of firepower.


T+043: The support squad rains death in the form of melta, superkrak and antiplant missiles. The inner defences starts to break to the continous punishment of the tanks and the devastator squad.

However, the hordes of killing tomatoes, zombies from the city and the lab personnel and the warp entities spawned from the dark rituals.

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: We cannot stop here. Tell the Blood Omen to start an orbital bombardment. We also need deployment code "Extremis"

-Librarian Trent: Sir, do we need the brother moritat, the Doom marine? Or the terminators? They're still in reserve, but the armours are not repaired to optimal levels.

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: No, we need the Duke marine and his Angels Tears. Zone Alpha. Right above the laboratory. Every creation from that Fabius guy must be exterminated before cleansing with nuclear fire.


T+044: [Communication intercepted]

...

[Word Bearer #1] We have interference in our sacred chants, are the Emperor Children playing that Black Sabbath classical music on our channels?

[Word Bearer #2] No, this is not any of our signa..

-Duke: I've come here to chew bubble and kick ass...

...and I'm all out of gum.

[EXTREME GUN NOISES AND SCREAMS]

 

[The inner defences finally break, hordes of creatures flood the compound joining the onslaught]



The Angel Tears annihilate the hordes of creatures in a tight combat making holes in the mass with their rad weaponry and multiple rays, chem-flame and bolt pistols.


-Duke: Guess again, freak show. I'm coming back to town, and the last thing that's gonna go through your mind before you die... is my size-13 boot!

- Lt. Bahamut: Mission command to Destroyer Operative. Is the main objective terminated?

-Duke: That Bile guy has run with the other pinky princesses in orbit. At least his friends rest in pieces.

 

-Lt. Comm. Lazarus: That's enough Duke. Rendevouz with your squad and prepare the rad-bombs. Everyone in this frequency, evacuate the compound. When close-quarter esterilization is complete, we're nuking this sector from orbit.

I think it will be difficult to replicate this mess on Earth. Blod Omen, search and destroy protocol, we should locate that Emperor Children ship and assure that there are no samples of the different experimental viruses.

 

Sixth and last month. The army is finally complete. I was playing safe because I knew it would be difficult to end the challenge with a meeting, several work trips and a moving.

No more extras. Heck, I added a ton of extras in the past months.

In the end, speed painting these guys didn't mean to reduce the overall quality.

They're the special units but lacks some of the small leather details which makes them easier to paint.

And I ended achieving the freehands I had in mind when I started designing the squad. So objective accomplished. The Angel Tears/veteran assault squad combo results were pretty fun to paint and the results are pretty good for what I thought that would be a dissapointing month.

Now for a recap and some mumbling about the possible future OWAC project.
