Harbingers of Taelus- Delegatus Lasraad now complete! Spoiler: be warned, here there be LORE One of the higher-ranking members of the Iron Council to survive within the ranks of Clan, the maimed consul was the first to cede leadership to Selok after the events of Istvaan. Inscrutable, terse, but loyal to a fault, Lasraad was found to be increasingly single-minded in his pursuits, to the point where as the heresy continued his cognitive faculties were increasingly questioned by his peers. Yet none could question his martial prowess, as on the battlefield he strode through the ranks as a living symbol of resilience and grit inspiring the legionnaires around him to fight on for the remnants of the legion. Spoiler: oh no! Two lore blurbs in one post??!! Please send help!!! We were not born astartes, we were made. Made in the image of our father, who was in turn made in the image of his father. But he was not truly his father, nor were we his grandsons. We had our own, true fathers and grandfathers once, flesh and blood. Before we were scooped up and herded off to the gene pits to be sorted, crafted, smelted into soldiers of iron. I used to mull over these thoughts... many times. The cogitive functions of my brain are now mostly excised along with most of my human form, replaced by the cold, unsentimental steel of machintata. It was born of injuries but has brought me tranquility. - Consul Lasraad, shortly before his death during the Great Scouring. Injuries sustained resulted in over 75% of his body replaced by cybernetic implants. Spoiler: no lore this time, just more pictures I promise Original inspiration for this mini was found on the internet, source unknown: Very pleased with this guy as you can probably tell
