Durak Rask was a fanatical follower of his Primarch, and viewed Mortarion as a preternatural saviour from his early youth on the benighted world of Barbarus. Having first been accepted into training into the Death Guard Legion when he came of age, Rask's innate intelligence and fervour were marked from an early stage and he quickly proved to be a dour and driven warrior with an uncommon flair for siegecraft. Over his decades of service in the XIV Legion, Rask rose steadily through the ranks to become his Legion's Marshal of Ordnance, proving his mettle in many battles and campaigns, and earning a rare commendation from Mortarion himself after the Siege of Valstpol, a battle in which Rask himself lost his left eye and was left horrifically scarred. When Mortarion declared his allegiance for Horus at the start of the Horus Heresy, Rask was one of the first and loudest in his support, having already become a member of the Seven Pillared Warrior Lodge which had been founded within the Death Guard to corrupt them towards the service of Chaos from within. On Istvaan III Rask volunteered to lead the vanguard attack against his former Battle-Brothers, a treachery he would pay for with his life.
Hello everyone once again! My pre heresy Death Guard project is moving on and I am currently working on a model from the Betrayal book, Marshal Durak Rask. Its all part of the painting challenge over the GreekWarhammerForum (take a look if you are a greek reader).
I have decided to use the model of a Space Marine veteran that had the fewest possible Imperial Eagles and I went on fully converting his Volkite Serpenta using parts from a plasma pistol, a lasgun and some other bits I had lying around. The backpack was the other major part of the conversion, using a regular backpack and most parts from a guard comm backpack. The resin part is a bit from Anvil Industries. Finally, I used the shoulderpad from Forgeworld, and Thunder hammer from paulson games
So there you have it, I hope you like him! Ready to throw some paint on him!
Great ideas come with great music! Till next time, take care!
