Squad |
So I have decided for blogging my third legion, I'm going to be painting things in sort of logical battlefield squads. So, today I have 10 Kakophoni, a Rhino and an Apothecary. Usually of course the Kakophoni will only be nine strong so they can fit in the rhino with friend Apothecary.

Kakophoni |
These guys were quite interesting to paint. The bloody flayed skin really breaks up the purple and gold. I'm quite interested that you can take these guys in a loyalist list... clearly...so loyal... A big part of me thinks I should have done all of these with white shoulder pads because the apothecary transfer does not super show up on the dark purple. However, given I had two identical and quite hard to convert sets of five models I needed a way to clearly denote my sarge during play. Having only one guy with white shoulder pads does this. He also has a shoulder pad with a raised lip on, which is not from the Kakophoni set, it's from my bitz box, I used the same shoulder pad on my tactical squad sarge. However, I don't think that lip alone would be sufficient for my opponents.

Rhino |
An Rhino. This one has a front plate - I think I had to buy a Rhino doors set for the doors for my storm eagle, so I used the fancy front on my rhino. My other Rhino has the traditional heresy doors. I think the characteristic gaudy over use of gold actually works very well on blocky tanks. Often space marine tanks are just sort of solidly one colour.

Apothecary |
This guy was very fun to paint. I enjoyed painting up all the vials of green and red (and a few of blue). Good job I like this model really, since I have three versions of him to paint up. I don't feel I want to use the Mk III Apothecary in my entirely Mk IV armoured force.
