Triumvirates
were an interesting thing I wish had survived into 40k 8th
edition. Those were nice box sets and I genuinely wonder what might
have been achieved if we'd seen the idea continue. My own fantasy
booking for them would be a Triumvirate Of Chaos with Abaddon,
Zaraphiston and some sort of enormous new Daemon Prince (or Primarch
Lorgar who I imagine would be smaller than Magnus and Mortarion).
Anyway,
considering that I've now decided to fold in my Mechanicus with my
Deathwatch I've decided to build a Triumvirate of my own to represent
the different factions present at Rubicon Command.
First up
will, of course, be the Deathwatch Watch-Master, commanding officer
of the fortress. This model will absolutely just be straight out of
the clampack with no conversions other than, maybe, a chapter
shoulder pad because I absolutely adore the model.
Second will
the leader of the Mechanicus delegation who will either be a
converted Magos Dominus or a converted Belisarius Cawl. Whichever
model I use I want to add xenotech components to it to represent the
heresy that Stygies VIII keep getting in trouble for.
And finally,
a model that I don't even know what I'll use as the base for
conversion: the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor assigned to the fortress.
Background has changed over the years so now the Deathwatch
co-operate with the Ordo Xenos rather than being the ordo's chamber
militant. I actually prefer this version of the background, if I'm
being honest, but I definitely think the ordo would have some sort of
presence even if only as a liaison officer. So my Xenos Inquisitor
Laurento Hex, one of my oldest 40k characters, will find himself and
his retinue assigned to Rubicon Command and incarnated in a brand new
model.
I just have
to work out what he's going to look like.
