How did you build Medicae? Any chance for pics?

Sweet as feth. Those minis are incredible. Love the guy with the chainsaw.
BTW, if anyone doesn't already know this, you can drag down on the 360 shots to get a higher angle on the minis (there's usually a couple of higher angles, including directly above).

These models (minus the gurney) were first previewed in White Dwarf Weekly #89, the 10th of October 2015.
Much to the annoyance of some people, I used models from different companies.
Spoiler:
General Drake from Reaper
The older version of Dr. Diana, from Warzone before it was revived by Prodos. Picture taken from Azazelx's awesome thread. Upon seeing the mini I knew I had to get it. Seriously, check his thread out, it's damned good!
There's also a good old Doc Dorden in my medical wing, to appease the GW crowds!
Honestly, this unit is an excuse to use older or odder models in my collection, though they do fit in nicely with the rest of my patched together Solar Auxilia force. I will certainly be adding Jovan and his orderlies to my army at some point, maybe whenever they release the red book or MaSade himself.

Looking at this picture, I'd say he's not attached. You assemble him separately then attach to the gurney.

WANT! His sword is a little thick, though.
Also, where is DORN!?

And templar brethren are just guys with special looking swords and sheild but they still got an upgrade. Dorn is just a guy with a giant chainsword. I want my legion to get its special guys too.
I think what you're seeing as the back of the blade is in fact the flat, but the high-contrast paintjob it looks like it's at a harsher angle than it is.
Awesome model, though!

Medicae are a cool bit of bizarro to throw in with the SA.
Again, meh on the marine. Not wearing a helmet is still stupid and there only being one helemeted librarain on sale (Loth) remains annoying. The torso on this guy is underwhelming. Most interesting feature seems to be the slung bolter.
Is it? OK, then. Just seemed thick in width for a cutting sword. Or maybe the gladius is a thrusting weapon.
Gladii are all about the thrust. Roman military tactics 101: set up shield wall, stab through carefully left gaps when anyone who isn't clean shaven and wearing sandals (even in Europe during winter if Asterix comics are to be believed) shows up.

It's nuanced.
I should think of a new signature... In the meantime, have a
