Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up
Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint!
But there may be a reason for that
Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor!
I mean, the build quality here is awful.
At least the marines will have somewhere to hide
It's about an A3 of ruined stuff
It's been trashed
Comes with a lot of scatter
The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!
Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks'
So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm.

3d printed tarantulas
Autonimous fire support and AA
Don't want to fly over that!
Airpower seems to be a thing in the new rules, so some 3d printed Xipon fighters
Yes, those are 6" rods from Pendraken, utterly impractical, but it's the EPS, so it has to be done!
Neeeeeoooow! Dakkadakka!
Which forces to use? Imperial or Chaos? Which marine chapter, I think you can guess. The answer to that will come later...

Okay, it was the one GW rules set I used to really play a lot and enjoy in the 90s. When the new version came out, adding in my Titans, it was all good I guess, especially as a lot of the Leighton Buzzard guys had already got it (always late to the party).
Plus Timecast stock it, so I'm helping out old mates, honest!
Aaaaaannnnnyway, I really could not work out what colours to paint the 'Solar Auxilia', which appear to be upgraded Imperial Guard. I wanted to avoid the Cthonian Headhunter chaos stuff. I was stuck. Then I had a thought, the sets come with banners. What banners to usewas the question, in eend, I plumped for the original...
Mass effect of the set

Kind of works with First edition box art.

First edition Imperial Guard had banners. Why not do the Auxilia as First edition Guard?
Like these...

Gives you mass effect.

Yes, they are meant to be five to a base, but four is fun too, and gets you more bases.

Managed to lose a body, as I had stuck it on backwards and then it pinged off. So, a quick replacement with a Pendraken head and body from the new sci-fi tank. That's why one looks a little odd.
