Hi everybody, new-member-but-longtime-lurker here.

Every since I received IA 9 & 10 from FW I wanted to do a Star Phantoms force, because I liked both their 'story' and their imagery. For those unfamiliar with the Star Phantoms, you can read a little about them here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Star_Phantoms.

Sample images:

Since I am always short on time I've decided to keep the initial force small to make sure I actually finish something.
This will be my force:

Squad 1:
Commander
5 Brothers (incl. 1x Plasma Cannon)
Drop Pod

Squad 2:
Reclusiarch
5 Brothers (incl. 1x MultiMelta)
Drop Pod

Death Storm Drop Pod

Squad 1 is almost finished. The plasma dude needs some finishing touches. I am also waiting for the resin bases I ordered from DragonForge for these guys.


What do you think?

Nice minis there mate, always liked the Star Phantoms especially after reading thru imperial armour - great start and look forward for more - as for painting the minis look great - any plans for basing ?

Thanks. The models are now tacked to their bases, because I am still waiting for the resin bases to arrive. I've ordered several sets from DragonForge. I am probably going to use the Lost Empires set: http://dragonforge.com/Painting%20service/for%20sale/base_sets/sci-fi/Lost%20Empires%20Series.htm
