I had planned not to buy anything in January. In keeping with The Year of the Centrepiece I’ve been working on my Baneblade, starting with the turrets:
However, I was fiddling around with some kits I had lying around while considering a question that’s been bugging me since the Imperial Militia rules came out for Horus Heresy 3rd edition: what do I want my Grenadiers to look like?
Like this. The answer is that I want them to look like this:
The original Indigan Praefects inspired my Heresy Militia army, after all - although I did simplified them for mass production. I’ve seen remarkably few examples of them online, so it was quite a surprise to see just how absolutely badass the combination of Tempestus Scion bodies, the Skitarii Vamguard heads and the Genestealer Cult Neophyte shotguns look.
To that end:
I’ve added 5 Tempestus Scions to my pile. I’ve also got a pile of shoulder plates coming from Victoria minis, because even I can’t be bothered paying GW bitz prices for legit Tank Commander shoulder plates.
Five on the pile.
