Stealth Suits and Reposing

These guys have been built for a while but I only got around to taking photos today. 

This is the Shas'vre (team leader for those yet to see sense and join the Greater Good). He's armed with a fusion blaster and has a target lock as a support system. This lets him blow stuff up, without stopping the unit hailing nearby squads with anti infantry firepower. He is however magnetised so he can swap out his fusion blaster for a burst cannon, like the rest of the squad.

The First Iron Lord Model

I've been concentrating on my tau of late and my poor marines have been a bit neglected. I'm planning on at least getting a tactical squad before the codex is released (supposedly September but I'm not getting into rumours).

He is going to be a sergeant for the unit as well as a tester for the rest of the army. So here he is.

Other than that, the models are all models that appeal to me as minis or because of their background. So, on with the list:

Space Marines: The Plan

The Space marines were my first ever army for 40k and for that reason, they have a soft spot in my hobby heart. Just like a lot of people I guess! The difference for me is the chapter I chose. Being fourteen when I began collecting, I wasn't going to develop a colour scheme, background and icon for a chapter I made myself. So I picked one... solely on the colours I liked the most! Those colours were the red and black of the Iron Lords. I've played with, and added to the army, on and off ever since. After forays into the hive mind and more recently, the Eye of Terror, I will now return to my loyal marines
