9th Company

 So this time up is the 9th Company which is full of nice shooty devastator squads.  To keep the theme, it even has a devastator squad as the command squad.  And yes Cheef, that's two more Dreadnoughts to acquire.

    The 9th Company is another force that is deployed by squads to neighboring systems to aid in their defense.  The largest of these deployments is three squads to the Goedrean System Forge World.  This continued commitment has kept many a world loyal to the Emperor as well as foiled many xenos and heretic raids expecting easy prey.

I also picked up recently the Deathwatch codex, the Deathwatch Kill Team Box, and the Deathwatch Captain box.  The leads us into the beginnings of a Kill Team that is operates out of Fort Pykman based on  location and my chapter's fluff in regards to the Ghoul Stars.  I really like the Deathwatch books.  It's some great fluff and really fills out that aspect of Space Marines that was really underdeveloped.  I really like the idea of the Blackshields as well.

So the Kill Team I'm working on will end up being an all Imperial Fist and successor chapter force.  It should be a fun force to assemble and fluff out.  So that's all we have for now and I'll see you all next time.

9th Company

To paraphrase Grand Moff Tarkin, I think it is time we demonstrated the full firepower of this chapter.

I've always like the idea of the 9th Company.  The sheer amount of fire power it represents that can be brought to bear against an enemy of the Imperium is fun to behold.  The majority of this company is made up of plasma cannons with some lascannons as well.  A few missile launchers and multi-meltas round out the selection.  I won a large ebay lot back last fall that had close to 30 plasma cannon marines and a dozen lascannon marines.  This lot lead to the creation of the 9th Company which was rounded out with old school bolter marines not used in the 6th Company.

And since it's a Devastator Company, I thought it only appropriate that the command squad was also a Devastator Squad.  It's fun little tweaks like this that make this scale so enjoyable.  Plus seeing an apothecary in a devestator squad is fun to see.

So that brings the total fire power of the company in at 20 plasma cannons, 11 lascannons, 5 multi-meltas, 4 missile launchers, 1 power sword, 7 power fists, 8 bolt pistols, and 59 bolters.  Nothing like overwhelming fire power for when you want it really really dead.

Over the next few days I'm still working on the 3rd Company blog, the flyers blog, and I should have a battle report from Saturday evening as well.  Hope you all are enjoying following my show of the chapter as much as I'm enjoying showcasing it.
