With the shiny new Space Marines codex, and the shiny new kits accompanying it, I knew it was time to refit my ailing Marines. And so I present Captain Fabian, of the Ultramarines 3rd Company:

The 3rd Company is known as the Scourge of the Xenos after their actions during the Battle of Macragge. In order to thematically tie my units together, all models labeled (Character) are going to sport some sort of Tyranid trophy to mark their victory. In Captain Fabian's case, his Storm Shield is made from a piece of carapace carved from a Carnifex, and a Genestealer head is impaled upon his banner.

As Master of the Arsenal, Fabian has access to some of the finest weaponry in the whole Imperium. But not all of the relics in the Arsenal were placed there by Fabian or his predecessors; some, like the legendary Teeth of Terra, simply appeared uncatalogued and unheralded. It would be impolite at best to let an Emperor-given gift simply collect dust, so Fabian carries the Teeth into battle, to anoint it in the fresh blood of the enemies of the Imperium.
