Bruder Helwart of the Galactic Knights
Here is the missing member of the 1st Gruppe 2nd Gefechtskompanie . Bruder Helwart. I will field the Primaris marines as 5 warrior squads for the moment . When the first Zug ( Platoon) is finished I might up them to 10 Marines per squad but I am not sure yet.
Combat Doctrine
The Galactic Knights of the Ordo Teutonicus are very good void fighters. They have a big chapter fleet consisting of many ships. From small corvettes to big battleships. They love fighting in close quarter but also have the capability of long range fire support.
Their aim is the liberation of star systems from the xenos and re-establishing new human colonies on the freed systems. Their arch fiend are the Orks because they destroyed the first homeworld of the chapter.
They answered the call of the Last Wall with a 4 ship fleet, carrying parts of the 3rd Gefechtskompanie in support of the Imperial fists in their fight against the Beast.
To be continued
Bruder Bernd Galactic Knights Space Marine
This is Bruder Bernd of the Galactic Knights. Now there is only one other member missing of the 1st Gruppe 2nd Gefechtskompanie.
Now some more Info on the Galactic Knights Chapter
Homeworld:
The chapters homeworld is a moon, called Münster, in the Germania System. The system consists of three habitable planets and one Death world. The planets are called Ruhr, Germania Prima, Germania Secunda and New Berlin. Ruhr is a forge world, Germania Prima is a death world, Germania Secunda is a agri world and New Berlin is a hive world. Münster is a moon of the fourth planet in the System, New Berlin. Further out from the systems sun are two Gas giants near the Mandeville point. The System was once colonised by the chapter after destroying an Ork force on Germania Prima. Alas Münster is not the first homeworld of the Galactic Knights. They used to have an agri world as a homeworld in the same system, but it was lost after a viral bomb attack by Orks. and is a death world since then. The dialect spoken in the system is German. Of course High Gothic is the language of the Administratum of the System according to Imperial law.
The base of the Ordo Teutonicus is situated mainly under the surface of the moon . Only the defences against orbital attack and the space port facilities are on the surface of Münster. It is said that the complete moon is the base of the chapter. Because of their homeworld the Galactic Knights are also known as Mondkrieger (Moonwarriors), by the humans living on the planets of the Germania system.
The moon homeworld turned the chapters Marines into formidable void fighters. They excel in ship to ship combat and in boarding actions. There is no spacehulk safe from them!

The Galactic Knights of the Ordo Teutonicus
He looked over the gentle rolling grassland in the valley below him. A place of agriculture, for breeding cattle and harvesting grain to feed the two hive worlds and the factory world of the Germania system.This was his home, the agri world Germania prime.A world with big fields, were autonomous harvesters brought in the grain, huge woods with lots of deer and great farms ,raising cattle.
On the Southern Hemisphere were huge plantations of vegetables and fruits looked after by thousands of Servitors.In between the three big continents of the world were wide oceans full of marine life forms.On the third continent was his actual home and the home of his brothers. The “Marienburg.”
He stood on a low slope wearing his white power armour and his red helmet, denoting his rank of Komtur. On his left shoulder pad he wore the black cross, surmounted by the black eagle on a yellow field, heraldry of his chapter. On his right shoulder pad he wore the arrow of the tactical squad he was leading. The black aquila on his chest was the only device braking his otherwise plain white armour. It was crowned by a blood red death head. On his right knee he wore the chapter cross in orange. Denoting his squad number. In his case the 6th tactical squad of the 4th company.
Behind him stood a drop ship of his chapter waiting for him .He heard a familiar voice over the vox in his helmet:
“This is Meister Sigurd of the 4th company , do you read me Komtur Helmuth?”
“Loud and clear ” he answered.
” Rear guard has completed boarding , pull in the perimeter guard and board the ship immediately .”
So this is it he thought, the last of his brothers and he himself as the last Space Marine of the Galactic Knights chapter were leaving Germania prima, their homeworld. Forever!
He gave the order ” Marines of the 6th tactical move out , board the drop ship !”
Germania prima was lost.
Lost to the greenskins and their biological bombs spreading viral death to humans and animals alike. Transforming the former live spending world into an uninhabitable death world for millennia to come.
Hopefully the rest of the Germania sector could be saved….
This is the start of my very own Space Marine Chapter. I used to have a space wolfs army way back in the 90. ( sorry no pictures). I left Warhammer 40k many years ago and started a new when 8th edition came out. Sorry for the rather long text, but I wanted to write my own fluff explaining why my chapter looks as is.
So here is the first finished model of my chapter marines. A primaris marine sergeant.
This is Komtur (Sergeant) Hermann of the 2nd Gefechtskompanie (Company), 1st Gruppe (Squad):
There will be many more Marines and vehicles in the future . A complete description of the chapter and more fluff
Lord of Bones Wildling chief
The Lord of Bones, also mocked as “Rattleshirt” by the brothers of the Night’s Watch, is a wildling leader of renown. He is called Rattleshirt due to his armor, which is made up of loosely-tied bones that clatter as he moves. He wears a broken giant’s skull as his helm.(Wiki of Ice and Fire). This is my take of him:
It is a Frostgrave barbarian body with a Frostgrave cultists head and some green stuff for the bones. He leads a 6 man unit of heavy Infantry ( two handed weapons ) for my Dragon Rampant Wildling army.
Hope you like what you see! More of my Wildling army over the next weeks.
A little progress on the barn
Here are some more pictures of the barn of the medieval public house. You can find pictures of the public house here and the first pictures of the barn here. I finished the walls and will do the roof at the weekend. Next will be the privy and then painting the buildings and doing the base.
More to come on Monday!
The repository of tabletop gaming retailers
I found this on Facebook at the weekend and thought that this site deserves a bit more attention This site attempts to provide a directory of all online tabletop gaming websites in one easy to navigate location. Look for yourself: The Repository
You can search the repository for tags like figure scale, manufacturer, topic etc. It is very recommended. Alas as it is very new there are still a lot of entries missing. The people behind this site therefore ask for help in developing the repository further.
