Description
a commision done by www.deviantart.com/bearcub , go check out what he does, his works are outstanding
Represented here, is the standard protocolar entrance of the Razgriz dynasty. The Warrant Bearer, when going somewhere - an Imperial Govesnor reception, a planetary landing, a Trade deleguation on a space station, or visiting another Rogue Trader, or even going to an Imperial mass-, shall be acompagnied by aquila bearers, servo skulls, and a 40 man marching band from the finest household troops, the bodyguard regiment named os the Razgriz Lebensguard. Considering that the current warrant Holder, Lonallyn Victrix IV Anastasia Von Razgriz, got implanted Aquila-shaped cyber wings, her entrance is usually... noticeable.
Of course, this is the standard protocol. On more regal or formal circunstances, the number of troops is doubled or tripled, her whole personnal flock of cherubs and a full murder of servo skulls are brought, including incense burners, rose petals throwers and loud haulers. The Dynastic flags are then brought to bear, especially when it is time to claim a hulk or a planet under the Aquila. As well, the Lebensguard can use jetpacks, and can also ride horses, or even chimera and Leman russes, as witnessed for the later during the First Defenestration of Footfall.
Concerning the Lebesnguard themselves, don't be fooled. Under their fancy uniforms and faceless visors, those are disciplined battle-hardened veterans, augmented as well. The Razgriz household troops are now quite famed all accross the Koronus Expanse and the Calixis Sector, for their Iron will, discipline, and ability to face and win against any odds. The best equipment money can buy help a lot, and considering what the lowlest rank-and file get, one can imagine what the lady Captain's personal guard get.

A good show help to insure those you negotiate with that you have power and wealth, from petty imperial nobles to other peers of the Imperium - including other Rogue traders- and authorities or savages on planets we want to add to the Imperium.
It helps also to obfuscate a bit the military might of said retinue. A power fist under a silk glove, one might say.

Strange indeed : yaoi is not my cup of tea and I have nothing of that theme around.
Meh, Internet dark magic going wild I presume.
Thanks for the compliment and merry yaoi chasing x)

Alatus pattern Jump pack, from Only War, Shield of humanity. She is an Augmenticist, with a lot of funds, a good relationship with the Mechanicus (and they owed her a few favors).
those wings are artificial, obviously.

They might be envious, though I do think, considering what she has accomplished, if the mere look and style is so high on the "Why I'm so jealous" list x)

Absolutely breathtaking. It never ceases to amaze me how good your House Troops look despite just being white, black and gold.
Amareetto and Razgriz really need to have a style-off someday.

Well, some colours schemes are considered basics for a reason Though, there is some work on how they look like, the uniforms and equipment, not just the colour scheme, that help to get a good look.
And a style off between Space Conquistadors, and Space Napoleonian Austrians must be something to see .

Eio-Eio-Eio In reply to hieronymushoefer [2018-10-07 15:50:13 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that's what I mean. The minimalist colours work so well with the Napoleonic cuts. The Amarettian Conquestors, by comparison, are full-out gaudy in their golds and their purples
A style-off would most likely be classical style vs old world pomp. Amaretto is a woman of the faith and her procession reflects it. Hundreds of Conquestors, priests with grand purity seal banners, cherubrims all over the place and, of course, a Battle Sister Honour Guard all of her own

There is a Five-moman Sister Honour Guard with the Lady Captain, but those sisters are officaly the Primo-Confessor personal Honour guard, so i did not count them.
I did not count her the retinue others players bring along, but I do think both Amaretto and Razgriz would be outclassed by the Von Razgriz own Navis Primaris, matriarch of the Primigenes x)

especially from a Magistral House, but let say her skills more than compensated the few drama here and there. (and from a player perspective, the drama was absolutely delightful )

Oh, interparty drama is wonderful. Our current party is mainly motivated by mutual spite and hate for one another.

the Cherubs ? yes.
Vat-grown, of course. The lady captain has an Aerie full of them and she make a point to grow some that look like her ennemies and rivals. Some sort of grimdark bonzaï hobby, one can say
