Col. Alexander "The Lion" Lyon

WIP Pics of my new Col. for my 5th SCAR.

New Project Ideas

I was getting disatisfied with my Inquisitor model that I used for my Colonel. So I went through my warhammer 40k models and bits and came across an old Space Marine Scout w/ shotgun pewter model. I remembered an in the 2003 Games Workshop Annual showcasing scouts space marines converted to Elysian drop troops and began my conversion. I also was searching the web looking for conversions ideas on my guardsman to look more like elysian drop troops other than the Byzantine Empire conversion idea. I decided to use green stuff to convert their helmets to look similar to the forge world models without having to buy them for their high price. I will soon have pics of my finished conversions. For now here is a picture of a similar model of the scout I was talking about.

Battle Report; Storyline change pt.1

You will now notice a big change in my blog. Don't worry you are still at the old Elysian 5th site but with a new look and story.

I've played my buddy a couple of times with my army and can't seem to take advantage of my assault so I changed my storyline to benefit more from my codex then I did before. So my storyline goes like this;

My old army (the Elysian 5th) has been decimated by an ork assault on government dignitaries and their families on the local planet of Blue Star. The regimental Commander Francisco Castillo was relieved of his duties and was sent to Terra for formal reprimand by high command. The remnants of the regiment(company sized) were sent to the planet of Saint Praxedes in the Ultima Segmenta. The Governess of the Planet placed the remnants under their fifth elite air regiment to take advantage of their air assault prowess.

My army is now fieded into battle as D Company, 5th S.C.A.R. (Special Commando Air Regiment). The company is now under the watchful eye of a Commissar Maria Rojo to observe any signs of xenos taint. The command is placed under one of the old surviving regiment lieutenants; now promoted to Colonel by the governess, Alexander "The Lion" Lyon. Under his command is one platoon; led by a lieutenant promoted from sergeant, Antonio "El Tigre" Crux. The company consists of surviving Elysians and Catachans.They fight with equipment they kept from losing to the orks and what they acquired on Saint Praxedes. D Company, 5th SCAR now fights for Honor and Redemption.

Living Saint pt.2

Here are the new pics of my Living Saint

Living Saint

I decided to build my own saint for my sister allies. I bought the saint available by GW and got rid of the cape and cupids that come with it and added wings available through various Warhammer figures. I also surfed the net for a net but came across and old saint that was in the 2nd edition of sisters of battle. Saint Praxedes has an awesome story that flows with the idea of my guard when I first started with them; thats "to kill some bugs"(Starship Troopers). Better pics will be coming up soon.

Vendetta

Here's a pic using my phone of my Vendetta. The paint was applied free handed. I chose the nose art after the A-10 because the A-10 is a bad ass troop support vehicle which reminded me of the Vendetta. Note I did not use the canopy guard to give the Vendetta a more modern/futuristic look.

UPDATE

Just got my new house and now moving in but also studying in San Diego so it's hard to work on my army at a better rate. I am working on some conversions and paint jobs. I just finished repainting my Vendetta similar to an A-10 pic I found online and a living saint for my Sisters of Battle allies to my regiment.Hopefully I can get some pics up of them but they might not be great.
