Ross Fisher Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) As of this day, 21 May 620, the Knightly Order of the Treasury of Hades the Harvester of Astrapi is hereby founded. Every Knight swears to preserve the Faith of The Aplynician Brothers above all else. As champions of Hades, they swear to promote the worship of the Underlord to his rightful position among the pantheon. As protectors of the Treasury of Hades the Harvester of Astrapi, they swear to defend that hallowed ground even into their deaths. And should the Treasury fall, they swear to avenge that loss, and restore the relics there to their rightful place. Grand Master: Canon Jules François Chapter Masters: Knight Commander Helmut Von Braun (Terraversa Chapter)Lay Brothers: Monsieur Gallo Chapters: Astrapi Chapter, Terraversa Chapter Property: Treasury of Hades the Harvester, Seminary of Axel the Martyr, Nola Mar Chapter House In practical terms, this is a recruitment build. To start off, I am raising 10 Knight Brothers. However, this is also the start of a new organisation for me, and I'm happy for other players to get involved if it suits their story. If anyone is interested in becoming a Knight Brother, or even setting up a new chapter of the Knights Treasurer let me know. In theory, any player can become a member, if they are deemed worthy. In practice, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to throw this open to non-Oleonaise players. Knights Treasurer Foot Soldier Unit Type: Heavy Infantry Uniform: Red cassock, black cuirass and morion, navy blue boots Equipment: Musket Recruitment centre: Astrapi Unit History and Description: Originally the Cloistered Order of Hades Inflamed, this group of monks lost their abbey to Corrington during the Juniper Wars. As a result, they relocated to the Holy City in Granoleon, where they were regarded as one more annoyance by Calida. When Padre François was promoted to Abbé for recovering the lightning bolt of Zeus, he was given command of the Order, who relocated to Astrapi to guard the new Treasury of Hades the Harvester. When it became clear that heresy and heathen practices abounded across the Brick Seas, the now Abbé François had the Monastic Order chartered as a Knightly Brotherhood instead. Campaigns: Juniper Wars (as refugees), the Battle for El Oleonda (Astrapi, El Oleonda), the Second Terraversan War Motto: Ad sacri et forti Edited July 13, 2021 by Ross Fisher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted May 21, 2020 Nice text and build. I really like that brick-built eagle (or whatever bird it is). Very cool! 40 minutes ago, Ross Fisher said: In practical terms, this is a recruitment build. Please specify how many troops are being raised with this build.

Thomas Waagenaar Posted May 21, 2020 This looks really cool! I love the bird. I don't suppose you have some close-ups on how you made it? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's really easy. I used this piece as the core: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=13695#T=C Gold crowbar through the nose, wings pinned onto the eyeballs. The claws are attached to the front of the pulpit. It's inspired by all those old eagle lecterns, but since the Eagle is Zeus's bird, I thought a Vulture might be more appropriate.

Bodi Posted May 22, 2020 It's reassuring to see all these moustaches, symbols of experience and devotion. The eagle looks really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted May 22, 2020 @Khorne @blackdeathgr Thanks guys! 57 minutes ago, Bodi said: It's reassuring to see all these moustaches Yep. If there was one problem with the old monks, it's that there weren't enough moustaches going around. This should be an upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll definitely look into this! I didn't even know that such part existed, but it will be a great base to design some birds! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted May 22, 2020 cool, reminds me of the templar knights. Although I think the heretic Sea Rats better stay clear of these knights Nice eagle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They fought a lot against the Barbary Pirates, so they're totally appropriate for this era. 11 minutes ago, Fraunces said: I think the heretic Sea Rats better stay clear of these knights And Eslandolans who worship the Triuri, and Corringtonions who worship Prometheus, and... anyone else.

Sir Kingston Posted May 23, 2020 The breastplates and helmets are always nice to see, along with the simple torsos and legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted May 24, 2020 @Sir Kingston Thanks! I wanted to make it reasonably simple in case anyone else wanted to use the design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
