A Genetor extremis will be the new playable companion that will included as part of the upcoming dlc 3 for the 40k Rogue Trader crpg game.
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, everyone has a function to fulfil, working away and sacrificing their lives so that the machine that is the Imperium keeps on running and humanity can survive amid the merciless stars. The Adeptus Mechanicus is one of the pillars of the Imperium and the knowledge its adepts gather and preserve in the name of the Machine God they worship is critical to the Imperium's continued operation.
Among its Tech-Priests, there are those who, besides being experts in arcane blessed knowledge and sacred machines, are versed in the mysteries of genetics, alchemy, and organics. Genetors probe the mysteries of the biological, creating strange cybernetic creature-amalgams and slaughtering xenos beyond number to uncover their alien frailties. The Quest for Knowledge leads many of them to search for the Machine God's revelations in the remotest and most mysterious corners of the Galaxy.
Eogunn Februs is a Genetor Extremis of unmatched proficiency in the art of augmetics and the methods of integrating implants with flesh. With a keen and restless intellect, he spends his time experimenting and contemplating. He works ceaselessly to discover a way to extend the functioning of the human body — whatever the cost. As a Tech-Priest Manipulus, he also wields the Motive Force via a galvanic cell, from which they channel powerful charges of The Motive Force. They drain power sources dry and use the energy to overcharge the cells of their warriors’ armaments, all while defending their divine work with blasts from their own arcane weapons.
Genetor Februs's manners are fairly eccentric, his speech esoteric, and his experiments often horrifying in the eyes of laypeople. He firmly believes that the xenos’s own technology can be turned against them and therefore doesn't shun its study, in spite of many believing this to be heretical and blasphemous.
But what is the price of touching things forbidden, and what sacrifices must be made in the name of reaching one’s goal? Confronting the unfathomable technological terror awakening in the Koronus Expanse will drive Eogunn's thirst for knowledge to extremes, and take him to the very threshold between genius and madness.
As a curiosity (and because I was bored), for those unfamiliar with the 40k miniatures hobby, I have listed some of the different units on which the Space Marine 2 classes are based.
Some units have more weapon options, but i only added in the descriptions the ones shown in the pics, I can't add more to not exceed the 20-pic limit per post on reddit.
Tome Keepers Battle-Brother Nasir bal Ditana, 3rd Company, 8th Squad 'Kadur' (close support)
Assault Intercessor
Noob question about pelts
For building Emperor's Spears can't you just buy some space wolves models with pelts and simply change their heads (for the helmetless ones) if they are "too viking" or something?
Part 2: more info bits and other stuff that I couldn't fit in only 20 images. (and better resolution)
I made the first post from my phone, now i'm on my desktop PC. I repasted the characters from the 3rd company lore pic at the end, from the first post, for better reading.
Sometimes i want to try painting some chapters like that because i have fun and i enjoy painting models except for that part, it is really hard for me to get it right and it takes me a lot of time for a single marine and mental suffering trying to not ruin the model with that, and i watched several tutorials already. I wonder how many chapters are like that out there, so maybe i can try painting some and find more favorites! I like canon ones even if they are very obscure or niche rather than a homebrew chapter, thanks in advance!
Here's a compilation of relevant Tome Keepers info for those who didn't had the chance to check it out, Chapter organization (Ranks and Companies), some painted examples, Important lore, and a name generator.
Finally decided to paint another, this time it will be an assault intercessor, this is the first time i'm kitbashing something, added a tome bit on the waist.
