The Big Bad Boys of Cadian 306th

The numbers of Leman Russes under my command grew as the days rolled on, Strangely I found myself deploying a lot of Exterminator pattern as IMHO one of the more reliable Russ pattern around.


The bad boy in the center will get the removable WYSIWYG Commander Pask treatment soon, although to be fair it has already been given that roll and does horrendous damage on battlefield, I mean, really, terrible terrible damage!

ASTRATES SUBDUED IMPERIAL GUARD DIVISION
Lightning fast deployment of battle brothers from the first company of Praetors of Orpheus by stormraven gunships see the unconditional surrender of Colonel N who was reportedly about to start civil war in CM sector. The assault terminators had the guards surrounded when the Colonel announced he was ready to "talk". The battle ended at turn 2.

CADIAN 306th HELD AGAINST TYRANID ATTACK
A division of Cadian 306th has reported successfully repelled a Tyranid attack. Fortifying themselves in strategic location, the guard division with the help of imperial fleet and death world veterans completely decimated the xeno attack.

Large brood of genestealers was denied flanking position by orbital bombardment and the Hive Tyrant was blasted to bits when the beast and its minions tried to march over Cadian's carefully laid kill zone. In a freak accident a single genestealer broke through the gun line and killed the Colonel in charged. The Colonel and his retinues were the only casualties reported.

Repainting a Basilisk

Recently a friend of mine has sold me 2 basilisks on generous price. Having recently decided to paint all my IG tanks on this camouflage scheme first conned by another friend, I got down to work.

When the basilisks arrived, they looked like this.


Layers of grey paints, drying and repainting and weathering later.


Also experimenting on modular camo nettings, just because... they made the tanks look extra realistic and hard core. I prefer my IG tanks to look like real tanks than toys.

As you can see, the nettings are remoable, just the way I like it. WYSIWYG incase I decide to buy camo netting upgrades for my tanks!

Oh yes, I will need to attach back the ladder later...

 CADIAN 306th SKIRMISHED WITH BLACK LEGION REPORTED

Recently 306th clashes with the black legion. By emperor's grace commander Pask was in the region, a daemon prince, 2/3 squad of chaos bikers,  a chaos rhino, almost whole squad of khorne berzerkers and many traitor marines was personally sent back to the warp by the legendary tank commander himself. Neither side really gain any strategic advantage.

CADIAN 306th POUNDED ASTRATES TO DUST
Recent combat drill held near between Cadian 306th and the Praetors of Orpheus' armored formation has resulted the later being "grind to dust". The Librarian leading the astrates complained of "high strength weapons everywhere".

The Cadian 306th artillery division consists of 2 manticores, 2 basilisks under the cover of 2 vendettas lead by two company command squads each with a master of ordinance. In theory capable of lying down 10 large blast per turn when the emperor wills it. Their relentless bombardment tactic is common referred as "eat dust doctrine", named after the scene which the enemies' position is filled with dust in the air after the bombardment.

DRILL WENT PERSONAL 
- Sicarious's back broken by dreadnought in drill

Under the insistence of one of Praetors of Orpheus' librarian dreadnought, Captain Sicarious was forced to took another combat drill with the chapter again. The unnamed Librarian dreadnought personally broke the Captain's line of defense and engaged with Sicarious in a short one sided hand to hand combat before breaking his back.

No one can really pin point how the Captain could have offended the ancient dreadnought but the drill quickly falls apart after that. The famed captain denied having any idea how he could have offended the Librarian dreadnought and has since applied for medical leaves to tend his broken back.
