(Important Information Below the Cut)

All of these images were collected from artflow.ai, an amazing site where an ai generates images based on what you put in. However, it does have an issue. I wont be able to generate Tau or Drukhari images with it, believe me I’ve tried. So although this is listed as a “Part 1″, its likely this will be the only part. I’ll keep trying, but in the meantime, if any of you feel like sketching out what the other commanders may look like, by all means be my guest.

[thetakkyacampaign]

Meet Your Match Part 1

Marshal Amark Hemming “The Wolf of Takkya “

Skin Color: Olive, and well-wrinkled around the face; his arms scratched and scarred, covered from shoulder to fingertips in tattoos that tell the stories of his greatest battles.

Hair: Greying Brown, and so much of it that you would not be faulted for mistaking him for a Beastman

Height: 6′3 (1.9m)

Weight: 190lbs (86kg)

Age: 50

Armor: Much of it is the same as the rest of the Takkyan Blackpelts, with few exceptions. His armor is more gold and red as opposed to it’s traditional green hues, and his shield has a built-in conversion field as opposed to traditional refractor fields. The most noticeable difference, however, is that as opposed to traditional members of the Takkyan Blackpelts, rather than the synthetic Takkyan Wolf pelt that gives the regiment their name, The Wolf sports a genuine pelt, gifted to him personally by Lord General Martius Laroe when he was promoted to Major.

Weapons: Frag and Krak Grenades, A Plasma Pistol, and a Power Spear.

“When I was a young boy, my father gave me his rifle, and told me to clear out a bunch of gangers that had taken residence in my town; and I did it. I didn’t question him. I didn’t ask why, or how. I marched to that building, and without hesitation, I fought. For fourteen long, bloody hours, I fought, clearing it room by room and killing every single ganger there. And by the end of it, I returned home, spent rifle in one hand, the head of the boss in the other. I know now he meant for my death, but then, at the time? It taught me the power of faith, that with nothing to your name but a rifle and your belief, that you can do anything.”

====

Aun’El Yo’vai Or’ra

Skin Color: Traditional Blue

Hair: Long red hair, pulled back and braided.

Height: 5′5 (1.65m)

Weight: 130lbs (58.9kg)

Age: 38

Armor: Your traditional XV22 Stealth Battlesuit, though it has been outfitted to sport a more powerful powerplant, and featuring a much more resilient shield system. Or’ra rarely keeps the same combination of Drones, instead choosing to swap between multiple different combinations, though he always maintains at least one Heavy Gun Drone by his side.

Weapons: Haywire Grenades, a Burst Cannon, and a Flamer

“Us Ethereals often have our own arguments and pettiness. Most think they are settled with such fancy displays as our honor duels; and publicly, they would be correct. However, there are always many, many unfortunate accidents, as well as disinformation leading to more accidents. There is, truly is, a reason I wear this suit for as many waking moments as possible. I have defeated many in these frivolous duels, and have turned more than a few heads the wrong way; and as such it is many of these that claim I should have been born of the Fire Caste. I’ve always ignored them, but at this point, in this campaign, perhaps they do have a point.”

====

Archon Grizamass

Skin Color: A sickly teal-almost white skin.

Hair: Long blue hair, pulled back and braided, with many concealed knives within it.

Height: 7′3 (2.2m)

Weight: 240lbs (108.8kg)

Age: 3,716

Armor: A standard Raidmaster variant of Kabalite Armor, personally modified to include a particularly virulent Holo-field, allowing him to not only distort his shape, but fully displace his appearance; and to his foes, appearing as if he was perhaps five meters away from where he actually is. Furthermore, should any foe manage to actually strike a lucky blow, the effects are mostly negated as his various auto-injectors fill his body with all manners of drugs, numbing the pain and accelerating the healing.

Weapons: Plasma Grenades, a Blast Pistol, and a Huskblade

“Imperials, Orks, those fools who worship Khaos, really, it doesn’t matter to me who I take. See, as my dear mother always said, ‘Son,’ she’d say, ‘Son, the best slaves are those with nothing to lose!’ Really, I never knew what she meant by that, but as I grew and learned my way about Commorragh and the intricacies within, I figured it out. See, no one really has nothing to lose, it’s little more than a lie they tell themselves, because once you get them to that point, then once you dig that knife in deep enough, you find what it is they still can lose; and there, and then... that's when the real fun begins.”

Armor Pattern: Much less than traditional Flak Armor fielded in the Astra Militarum, the Takkyan Blackpelts only make use of a chestplate, grieves, gauntlets, and a helmet. Furthermore, each Blackpelt receives a single titular black pelt from Synthetic materials in the shape of a Takkyan Wolf pelt; only the highest ranking officers have the honor of sporting a genuine Takkyan Wolf pelt.
