#tartaros terminator

[sims-tec]

Created by Michael Doggett who was kind enough to furnish and allow me to use his creator, I've imported the Tartaros Terminator Armor from Warhammer 40k. The Tartaros pattern is the most advanced pattern of Terminator armor, using systems originally developed for the Mark 4 Maximus pattern. The armor delivers the same level of protection as the Indomitus but is much more mobile, with sensibly-sized pauldrons and an upright stance. It is however the rarest of models, since it was a very resource-unfriendly model to craft back at the time of the Heresy. In the 41st Millennium, any remaining Tartaros-pattern suit that is in functioning order is a hallowed relic for whoever is lucky to have it. Presets include the original 18 legions, war hounds, luna wolves, lamenters, minotaurs, space sharks, blood ravens, as well as a number of fallout factions. For the brotherhood of steel, the rank insignia is on the right thigh plate. Unisex for teen to elder, available for everyday, formal, sleep, swim, athletic, outerwear, career, and maternity. Big thanks to Michael Doggett for giving and allowing me to share this wonderful model. It has no morphs, and requires into the future. Happy simming!

Uwaa! I'm loving your Dantalian headcanon!

I can see him, Eligos, Paimon and Orias going shopping together? TT-TT) we need the cutiepies of Hell gathered! Nilfheim and Lost Paradise where you at!?

Meanwhile, Dong-gyun from Avisos can be considered a cutiepie but he isn't in their level yet so he holds all their shopping bags;;;

I could see it go something like this

*On their special group chat*

Dantalian: ELIGOOOOOOOS

Dantalian: Dad told me that we have to go to this really important event but all my clothes are fetish outfits :(

Dantalian: The festival has a decency policy!!!! The people at Paradise Lost are insane!

Eligos: I've actually got a brand new collection in partnership with Paimon and Orias

Dantalian: Ok, I know Paimon, but who tf id Orias?

Eligos: He's a beauty guru! He's quite popular on [NOT TRADEMARKED VIDEO SHARING WEBSITE]

Eligos: you should look him up

Dantalian: That's a new one

Dantalian: I don't think I have it yet, let me go whine to my dad about it.

Eligos: Tell His Majesty Asmodeus to pay his taxes!!!

Eligos: Sorry, Bimet stole my phone UnU

Eligos: I'll just add Paimon and Orias here

_Paimon and Orias got added to the group chat_

Dantalian: Orias's a little bitch

Orias: And who might I have the pleasure of being insulted by?

Dantalian: ELIGOS WHY ARE THERE RANDOM PEOPLE IN THE GROUP CHAT!

Paimon: Hiiiiii, your highness Dantaliaaaaaaan

Dantalian: Paimon as well!

Eligos: You should get to know them as well since they all contribute to my newer collections

Orias: Dantalian? Don't you remember me sweetie? We used to hang out when you were younger?

Dantalian: I have never heard of you in my whole life

Orias: :)

Paimon: So, your highnesssss! I heard you're going to your first balllll

Dantalian: It's a sort of very formal festival

Dantalian: And we can't wear my usual attire

Dantalian: To understand how bad it is, my dad took out the 17th century suit ToT

Dantalian: Imagine being alive during the 17th century

Orias: ...

Paimon: What colour would you like the costume to beeeee?

Dantalian: Red, duh

Orias: I have the red costume at my place. It needed a bit of sewing and adding some extra ditails

Dantalian: Eligos, why could you take care of it?

Eligos: I've used all of the angel feathers in Tartaros for a new dress for MC.

Orias: And I have plentiful

Paimon: And Orias stole iiiiit

Orias: You're so funny Paimon.

Orias: Little ol me, going around stealing? Never

Dantalian: Wait, arent you the guy that tried to kill Leviathan!?

Orias: I have no idea what you're talking about

Dantalian: And everyone in Hades haaaaaates you. They would sometimes complain to me whenever you arrived back in the country

Orias: Your memory must be quite faulty. Everyone in Hades loves me

Dantalian: Except 99% of the population

Orias: You're so lucky you're part of the monarchy

Dantalian: Why? Come kill me right now, dipshit. What, are you too scared? Give me all you got

Orias: Now you're just asking for it

Dantalian: Orias don't you fucking there show up or I'm snitching you - King Asmodeus

Dantalian: Please sent the suit at the adress of the castle of Abaddon and make sure it is in pristine condition. Eligos, I already sent the money for it. Please stop contacting my son, he's grounded. - King Asmodeus

they’re still messy + v early in process but current progress on assault squad. also need 2 come up with honour markings for the squad member who took over from the sergeant in my last game and went on to kill an imperial fists tartaros terminator sergeant and ended up as the assault squads lone survivor

[warchirfsminitures]

Horus Heresy event! Here is squad Sollimez, the Warden of Stone.

Templar Assault force comprised of:

Praetor, chaplain

X3 contemptor

X4 templar squads

X1 tartaros terminators.

Hard hitting, and tough as nails.

Power axes finally arrived providing the last part needed for my Telluric Sentinels. Unfortunately, the scale is slightly off - a risk when sourcing parts across multiple vendors. These look like they're intended for true scale Terminators, so they're a little large on the Tortuga Bay Hoplite bodies.

Ironically, if I had sourced the actual Legion Tartaros Terminator Power Axes that these are modelled off of, they'd be the perfect size, but the wrong hand.

Saturnine.

Hello, apologies for dirtying the feed, again, but I've come to cope, or rather correct. Saturnine terminator armour. You might be thinking it's this EGG:

Unfortunately for you, this isn't saturnine. "It's not saturnine?" No, it fucking isn't and its frustrating. This pre-production screenie came "Death of hope" a long since cancelled fan-work . We aren't here to talk about it. We are talking terminator armour. Why is it so upsetting? Because it was made in roughly the same time period as these two patterns. Indomitus and Tartaros, these two:

Source? Here you go:

The first source, in white, is from an archived web page from warhammer community on terminator armour, but if that isn't enough. Horus Heresy 2.0 rulebook, pg 32. it is NOT a dark age of technology pattern of termie armour. I'm sick of having to bash this into peoples head and it makes me even further mad that the community desperately wants it to be saturnine and twists itself into knots to justify it. You can have a cool different type of terminator armour, how? Artificer armour. You want a fancy suit of (thick) armour that looks different? Artificer terminator armour. "But what about that image I keep seeing floating about that comes from pinterest that calls it saturnine?!"

First, it comes from pinterest, well known for having accurate and proper links to the original artist (obvious sarcasm) Second, you want to take away a piece of armour made by VULKAN???? Yes! He made this, hunk o' mcfuckin METAL. But the more frustrating thing? You want to know where this image appears? The Horus Heresy. Book 43. 'Shattered Legions' an anthology. Story 6: Deeds endure. At the end. of. the. fucking. STORY! Now you know, after my incredible aggrevation, hopefully you are now more knowledgable. Yes, details matter and so too does distinctions. "Doesn't the timeline from HH 2.0 contradict what you said about them being produced in roughly the same time period?" Yes, timelines in warhammer are feely weely. No, don't try to piece it together. Trust the HH 2.0 citation its more recent. If you have a counter source or argument, square up and yell at me if I'm wrong. That's all. If you read this far: Thanks. Yes, I also argue with people often and this one is a bug bear if it wasn't obvious.

[diceyjune]

thought i would redesign my marines to be thicker. since they are meant to stand-in as plague marines.  basically using the tartaros terminator as a base and just marine-ed it. additional camo versions also. 

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

Do you think the Grey Knights have any Cataphractii or Tartaros terminator armor? I know they have no problem getting normal terminator plate, but I'm curious.

It's entirely possible they have such suits in Titan's vaults, sure, because they're a chapter that tends to store a lot of rare/naughty stuff. That said, Grey Knights terminators wouldn't really have much use for it, because their chapter has access to to its own unique pattern of terminator armour (Aegis) specifically designed to incorporate the Aegis latticework that provides wearers with increased defence against psychic/warp-based attacks. Aegis-pattern gear is basically a requirement for the kind of work they do.

A Tartaros Terminator for a clients Homebrew chapter from twitter!

Another wip, one I've been working on since I started fooling around with 3d modeling and sims modding. For future reference, when using milkshape, you can merge meshes by selecting them all and hitting regroup. Could have used that little bit of knowhow back then, but better late than never. Makes assigning bones to certain pieces much easier. Model and textures are made by Joazzz, all credit goes to him for creating glorious sfm models and for allowing them to be used.

The Lost Primarch of The II

Name: Jovian Malleolus

Primarch Titles: “The unbroken steel”, “The conqueror of the machine”

Race: Human/Primarch

Sex: Male

Numeration: II

Skin Tone: Grayish skin

Distinguishing Features: Numerous arch tech implants and cybernetics.

Mutations: Blue glowing marks that go through his body that carry electricity

Hair Color: Brunette

Abilities: 

Bane of the Machine: Jovian was born with latent psychic power and a mutation that allowed his body to generate large amounts of electricity. Combining these two factors makes him naturally gifted with the electromancy and technomancy disciplines, which allows her to manipulate, harness, and produce electricity and exert his will over machinery. This mutation is displayed with glowing patterns on his body. The downside is that he risks his energy base weapons malfunctioning when using them, meaning he needs special gear. Still, this flaw also allows him and his legion to be quite effective against anything possessing electronic or ferrous components.

Cybernetic Enhancement: His cybernetic has an uncanny resemblance to organic life that borders on mockery. This cybernetic enhancements gives him a physical boost and the ability to better integrate with technology.

Wargear: 

Storm Breaker: A custom-made thunder hammer that harnesses, stores, and focuses the electricity generated by her body.

Storm Shield

Resolve: An artificer's Tartaros Pattern terminator armor which properly syncs with his cybernetics implant made to accommodate his electric power; this allows him to control any attachment on his armor easily. It also has some modifications that would prevent any attempt to hijack control of his power armor.

Backstory:

Like many of his siblings, Jovian Malleolus was sent through the warp into the unknown, ending on a planet known as node-23576. There the infant primarch's first experience was seeing a bunch of drones shining their lights on his container before trying to break in to take him somewhere else. The infant Primarch remembers screaming in fear and anger as the machine corners him. They finally broke in, and just as they tried to take him away, he released a large electric blast that fried the drones.

After this incident, he wandered off on that machine wasteland for days, looking for shelter and food, eventually coming across another group of humans fighting men made of iron. He watches them lose ground and be overwhelmed by the machines. Quickly rush to their aid, hurling electricity at the machines which cook their circuits. Once the dust has settled, the humans approach the large infant who just saved their life and brought him to their underground shelter. Down they took care of the exhausted infant, sharing what little food they had and letting him rest and recover.

During his time living with those human survivors, he came to comprehend their languages as well as to learn the situation of the planet. He learned how the planet used to be a proper colony, one that was quickly growing thanks to the help of the men of iron and AI, which aided in the development of their community, but then the AI turned against them, starting a bloody battle. For many years they fought and tried to reach out to other planets for backup, yet they never got an answer. Eventually, the machines were no longer satisfied with killing them; they started harvesting them and turning them into half-machine abominations.

Jovian noticed many, if not all, the humans that were there sport all kinds of cybernetic modification. They explain that hadn't figured out a way to remove the control of the AI over their cyborg soldier; they would have gone extinct a long time ago. With a goal in front of him, Jovian Malleolus, as he was named by those who find him, decided to take part in this conflict to recover the planet from the clutches of AI and its men of iron. Jovian was a quick learner and strong warrior; he learned everything he needed to survive the harsh world and how to fight the machines, which was a slow endeavor. Eventually, he took the risky option of bringing the dismantled machines to their bases to learn how they work dismantling, seeing their strength and limitation.

While many criticize this as it could endanger them, he explained that they need to know how their enemy works if they wish to have a chance of survival. Slowly this started to give them an edge over the machine; not only they knew how to exploit their weakness in guerrilla tactics, but it also allowed them to repurpose them into armor and weapons. Slowly they started to reclaim the surface. They took factories and reclaimed old colonial outposts, and thanks to Jovian leadership and power, they finally went from survivors to warriors.

The AI would refuse to go down as easily, and just like her human enemy was adapting, so would she. She started to produce new models of machinery to overcome their tactics. This proves troublesome for the humans and their leader; this forces them to reinforce what they claim and constantly change their strategies, forcing them to adapt quite often. As their progress continued to grow slower and slower, they knew that if they didn't do something, they would again be overpowered by the AI. Jovian knew they were getting cornered; they would need to do something and do it while they still could. There were a lot of discussions of what could be done, and many arguments erupted among them, yet they couldn’t agree on a plan,

Jovian sees his general and soldier bickering and fighting with one another, stands up, raises his voice, and exclaims that if they are going to waste their time getting on each other's throat, they may as well drop their weapon and let the machines harvest them. Furious about his observation, they questioned if he had a plan, which he did. We go for the AI and destroy her. They quickly rejected that plan; it was suicidal! Illogical! that plan would handle them on a silver platter to the bloody machine! Jovian then explained that was the point, the machine is logical, they are not; the machine is rational, they are not; the machine calculated its action, they are not; the machine thinks it can predict them when it can’t.

Their first victory came because they started taking risks, they were unpredictable, but now, the AI is studying them, their tactics, and their capabilities. If they want this war to be truly over, they must be willing to risk it all while they still can. While many refused to participate in this suicidal mission, others showed their full support and were ready to risk their lives to end this nightmare. The plan was simple, to isolate the main base of the AI and to set off an explosive where the core of the AI is; the execution was the messy part. The mission was as bloody as they knew it would be; many lost their lives and saw mechanical horrors of flesh and steel, some even escaping human imagination. Eventually, Jovian and his team made it to the core where the AI rests.

Down there, they were greeted by a horrific beast of steel, built specifically to destroy Jovian; its size tower over all of them, even Jovian. The mechanical abomination slaughtered most of them, with Jovian barely managing to best this machine and set off the explosive, taking down AI and seemingly himself in the process. The men of iron eventually shut down, and the cyborgs under the control of the AI recovered control over their bodies. The long war against AI was finally over.

All the forces eventually rally on the giant crater that once was the main base in which the AI was to recover the body of their fallen comrades and their leader, but to their surprise, their leader was still breathing, even if barely. They all hurry up and try to save his life, and while they manage to stabilize him, his condition is critical. His limbs were mangled, his organs were failing, and the worst part, they couldn’t find implants compatible with his unnatural body… until they searched deeper into what remained of the main of the base.

Waiting there was a custom-made cybernetic implant made with unknown material and technology only seen in the golden age of humanity, made specifically for Jovian body. The realization that had AI managed to capture him and convert him; nobody would have been able to stop her. With a heavy heart, they used those implants on their leader, saving his life but leaving a bitter aftertaste of their victory, as, in a way, the AI managed to get what she wanted, even after her death.

After the war, they slowly rebuilt and made their broken planet a place they could call home. They were recovering and fixing many of the old technology left from the colony days and repurposing and modifying the machinery built by the AI. Even without the machines, life on the planet was harsh since it was completely contaminated. Yet, slowly but surely, they rebuilt from the ruins, learning a lot about their technology and developing a new one, allowing them to thrive on the newly named planet Janus.
