For Holy Terra Because space is scary

Brother Caeden, Death Company Dreadnought

I’ve had a shiny new camera since Christmas, but I haven’t really taken a lot of pictures… until last night. Shamelessly ripping off Aventine at Zen 40,000, I’m going to start posting a few shots of a model or unit every so often with some fluff. This should keep me updating regularly for a bit.

Without further ado:

Caeden forged a stellar career in the 8th company, atypical of most Blood Angels. He served in the honor guard as company champion under two consecutive captains, and was offered promotion to the 4th, 2nd and eventually 1st companies, all of which he refused in order to remain as an adviser to his captain and company.

During the Tohlren campaign in 915.M41, Caeden was gravely wounded while facing an Ork warboss in single combat. Though he defeated the mighty greenskin, he himself was left crippled and dying. His years of valiant service made the decision to enshrine him in Furioso armour quite easy.

As a revered Furioso, Caeden took part in a number of campaigns, smashing though the enemies of mankind with renewed vigor.  However, during the invasion of Haerid Prime, Caeden fell to the Black Rage.  His armor was painted black and decorated to announce him as the deliverer of death that he had become.

During the Haerid Prime campaign, Caeden was mostly responsible for annihilating most of the forces  of the rebellious 227th Haerid Conservatory in the city of Prestlake.  Rebellious forces scattered before him and left the city to Captain Zedrenael’s task force.  Caeden stalked the city for three days before the company’s techmarines managed to fix a grapple on him and evacuate him from the battlefield.
