Recent painted update:
While pondering the next expansion for my Heresy Militia (disregarding all the unpainted models that are still waiting for attention), I came across a potential rules combo that might go nicely, and it involves a Legion Overseer.
I haven’t figured out what Legion looks best with my Militia, so I took a few opinions and two of the from-left-field suggestions that came up were Emperor’s Children and Imperial Fists. I have never painted anything from either legion, I figured I’d paint one of each and see if I enjoyed it:
Eh, it was alright.
It does mean that I now have five painted candidates to see if I like the colour scheme embedded in my Militia infantry:
I somehow don’t feel closer to making any kind of a decision. The Death Guard are probably easiest to paint (and are nominally my main Heresy Legion) but I don’t think they look great next to the militia - they both have a different off-white that clashes when you look at them in-person.
I also got a solid day of painting in and finished up one of my Militia trucks (AKA Genestealer Cult Goliath truck):
There’s another one about halfway done that I was painting side-by-side until I decided I wanted to have one finished for a game last night, and focussed on finishing one of them.
It took me about the same amount of time as the Utility Hauler, despite being about half as big:
There’s a reason I need to work for motivation to get vehicles painted.
Three off the pile.
