A few variant poses, or a more open pose on the original would really have helped though!<br /><br />Proto-skitarii works conceptually for me too - they feel like they're wearing lower tech prototype armour - something that has since been refined.<br /><br />None of these arrived without the blade - I suspect any that have been removed weren't mould related.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-21369440539150818252019-07-06T12:02:33.952+01:002019-07-06T12:02:33.952+01:00This is absolutely marvellous!

And you've pulled off a repeat of your Custodes where you've span out a single figure into a squad with variety. <br /><br />I've been working towards a squad of these too, though I've painted mine red and will be spinning them as Adeptus Mechanicus proto-Skitarii to be led by the Olley Techpriests and some of the Naismith Robots. So I feel my plans are different enough from yours to not have had my thunder completely stolen.<br /><br />I really like your addition of the Thallax – I'd have never have thought of rounding out the squad that way.<br /><br />On the Gondamer Rossal post, you talk about the "removal of the combat blade on the gun", and some of these squaddies are also without their blades. Did you get any of them without blades, as I've got one without one and I was wondering if it was a running change for mould-ripping reasons, or removed by the previous owner.<br /><br /><br /><br />Curishttps://www.ninjabread.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-3438248067417510192019-07-02T21:21:21.168+01:002019-07-02T21:21:21.168+01:00Thanks Lee!
