:siren: June 2016 Gallery Up :siren:

The June Gallery should now be accessible at http://imgur.com/a/SFwDM

Unfortunately there were some issues with the image scraper so it's possible some pics have been missed, so if you're bothered about Judge points then double check the gallery and make sure your pics are there!

As a reminder, pictures are only accepted into the gallery if your username is on them! It's fine for oath completion to only flag the first image, but only that image will go in the gallery.

Also, it looks like Imgur have broken/removed the feature which allows me to automatically arrange the album by filename so I'm having to go in and manually rearrange the images to group people's pics, I'm currently on with this, though again it's possible I will miss some. EDIT: Also the rearrange pictures system on Imgur is lovely and only lets me see tiny thumbnails of the images which usually crop out the bit with the poster's name so I'm having to do it by the minis on display in the pics.

Perhaps not, scale isn't too clear on that picture. His own base is 40mm, and including the rock he stands on he's about twice the height of a space marine, maybe a little less. The scenic base which the gaming base fits into is 60mm. Not nearly as chunky a challenge as the Imperial Knight I oathed a while back, but certainly a centrepiece I want to get right.

OATH COMPLETE! Claiming backstory and it's a rescue






Backstory
In 006.M41, the Ultramarines launched an assault on the planet of Lutum III, colloquially known to the Imperial Guard unit stationed there as "Dirt Planet". There were few natural resources and it was of little tactical importance in the greater sector, but being a life-sustaining planet, Imperial decree demanded that it be wrenched from the hands of the Bad Moons Orks inhabiting it. The Ultramarines were lead by the then-Captain of the 2nd Company, Octavius. Stormbolter in one hand and chainsword in the other, Octavius led the men of his chapter and the Imperial Guard into battle countless times, leading from the front and besting countless Orks in combat. He went undefeated in his campaign until, shortly before the planet could be wholly brought into compliance, the Black Legion appeared, drawn by the heroic deeds of the captain and the blood spilled on Lutum III. Imperial Guard forces turned traitor, and while the 2nd company fought on, it was clear that they were losing more Marines with every battle and the campaign would end in the destruction of their company. On the final day of the campaign, Octavius oversaw the withdrawal of his forces from the planet. Before the survivors could load into their Thunderhawks, a contingent of renegade Imperial Guard struck the airfield. Their armor rolled through the fences and barricades nearly unopposed as the Ultramarines carried their wounded onto the dropships. They needed more time, and Octavius held the line with the remainder of his command squad. He was wounded repeatedly, but his armor and trusted apothecary kept him standing. As the ramp of the final Thunderhawk was about to close, Octavius and the apothecary ran for the ship. Lasbolt after lasbolt ricocheted off his armor until finally an autocannon round hit him square in the back, blowing off his powerpack and knocking him to the ground. Before he could get up, the shells from the traitor artillery had him ranged, and they tore up the earth around him. The apothecary was unable to save him, as he was obliterated by an earthshaker shell seconds later. The last Thunderhawk left Lutum III without its captain, but his sacrifice allowed the Marines of his company to live on and fight once more. While the planet was later purged by the Dark Angels under Master Kael, the sacrifice of Octavius was never forgotten by the 2nd company.

The actual story:
Back in 2006, I played a homebrew ruleset with my friends using 40k models and fluff. However, it was horribly, horribly unbalanced, and I ended up winning every game because we didn't have a points system or anything, just a vague "yeah, that looks right" feeling when putting the armies on the table. In every game, Octavius was my commander, and in every game he survived. At first it was just my buddy with his Guard and my other friend with his Orks, but then a fourth guy came along with Chaos and that's when things heated up. Finally, in one of the last games of the system we ever played, Chaos and Guard teamed up against my Ultramarines and my army got beat soundly. The last models alive on my side of the table were Octavius and his apothecary, who were running for the table edge when they got shot to pieces by a Chimera with an autocannon turret. I thought it would be a fun way to take an old model from my youth and memorialize the time I spent playing silly homebrew rules with my friends when I was a teenager, while still making something useful for my regular games of 40k.
