These are the models I have assembed so far and painted so far. I decided that the name of the world that they were recruited on becomes attached to them. This makes them emmisaries for their entire world in the eyes of the Emperor. What do you think of that idea? Anyway, these guys are pretty much just my kill team, but they are coming together and I think that they look really good. Many of the pics below are just ones I happened to have, not necessarily the right one for the person.
Christian and Christobal d'Artaigne
Christian is Neopythe to Mogaba and Christobal is Neophyte to Brandt. Twins born to the nobility of the sky-worlde Artaigne. They attracted the notice of the Templar Stewards by completing the Quest of Inquiry.
Lodron d'Armageddon Neophyte to Larriman
Lodren was a hab rat in Hive Tarterus running errands for the gangers. Despite being only 7 during Ghazgull's first assault Lodron used his intimate knowledge of the hive to scout for Imperial forces on the world. On one occasion while running a message to an inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos he attracted the attention of a Templar who was serving in the deathwatch named Caragh by killing an ork. Caragh arranged transport offworld in a black ship to a crusade in a nearby sector where he underwent the procedures to become a Neophyte.
Horence du Quillones - Neophyte to Lazar
The Quillones is an asteroid mining colony on the Eastern Fringe in M.36 for being a hiding place for the brutal Dark Eldar. A crusade under Marshall Steveren purged the field and an enormous chapter keep/space station was dedicated on one of the asteroids. Hortense was the 10th of 12 children of a wealthy miner. The family was one of the many wiped out in a H'rud infestation.
When the templars cleared the warrens of the filthy aliens they discovered a grubby child who had been killing the hrud and sabotaging the mining equipment to prevent it from being of use to the aliens.Mogaba de Zuul
Mogaba is a veteran of the Astran Scourging and the Vallus Crusade. On the Vallus crusade he met and became bondsman with Ting prior to Ting being selected for the Deathwatch. He is still one of Ting's closest friends and confidants.
Brandt d'Hell's Teeth
Brandt selection as Initiate in the early days of the Vallus Crusade caused much controversy due to his short period as a Neophyte. His performance during that bloody crusade vindicated Marshall Cordine's decision. His exceptional skill with heavy weapons has earned him the nickname Brandt Tankkiller.
Larriman du CamdenLarriman is returning to the field after a long stint as Steward of the Chapter Keep on Varda III. He feels that he has much to prove to the more hardened veterans of the Vallus and Atrian Nebula Crusades who form the core of the Akrian Crusade though Marshall Geryn wouldn't have selected him were he not satisfied of his mettle. Geryn hopes that by tutoring the impulsive Lodran that Larriman will regain the furor that saw him promoted to Steward many long years ago.
Lazar
While many felt that Brandt's initiation came early it was felt that Lazar's was, perhaps, overdue. If Lazar himself felt that way, he never gave any indication. He has a reputation for patience that is uncommon amongst his Templar brothers though his faith and zeal are the match for any in his Chapter.
