Salamanders Chapter Sternguard



Been away....
I put finishing touches on this Sternguard yesterday, in between assembling an Imperial Bastion. I'm mixing the Sternguard freely into my tactical squads, as I notice is also done by the GW team in their photography. I don't have squad identifiers and my intent is to raise the bar on my troops by working in the very best models that GW make, and I reckon these Sternguard are among the best they've ever done.

This pose in particular truly captures - I think - the dark adventure of 40k, and the sledgehammer heroism of the Space Marines.

That is deliciously well painted. Highly inspiring to see!

It looks better and better, aye. And I do agree about the Sternguards.

Great as ever..it's a pity these well painted miniatures will have to be pushed aside for the greater good...

Greater good? In the grim darkness of the far future...

there is only war.
