So after completing the Thalassa you may think I am doing another Squat but, no a Cadian of renown in fact. Sadly one of my favorite Cadian Hero's was killed off by GW. He was of course Sergeant Lukas Bastonne he was one of the most highly regarded and capable non-commissioned officers within the ranks of the Cadian Shock Troops regiments of the Astra Militarum.

Bastonne was killed in action during the defence of Cadia in the 13th Black Crusade in ca. 999.M41. That said I have just completed a knock off Cadian Kasrkin made by Brother Vinnie. This figure unfortunately is made of resign. (I would love it in metal), that said I think it is one of the most dynamic IG figures I have ever seen. He is armed with a power sword and bolter and and is running forward about to destroy some chaos scum. He has come up pretty well even though I broke the bolter of once I had finished him.

I have made him a command figure and will use he in my 812 Kasrkin Company, the 812 is also sometimes known as the 1st - 2nd Tayhosian Air Mobile Infantry Regt. (That's for you Hoots were ever you are?) I have included a photo of them and the transports (rides) as well.

While I never saw use for him in game, the caracter just radiated PTSD stricken golden heart soldier drip, which is a common trope sure, but I mean, always does it's intended effect!

True pleasure to follow your hobby progress man!

I just like his background and the figure from BV jsut fits the bill. You have three heads as well, bare head, helmet and helmet with respirator.

Ta mate. Glad you like the lads.

Well boring stuff since I last posted. I have over 100 Inso Squats to do with a Coy Comd Squad, two Platoons of three Squads and four or five Support Squads. As these models took a while to all come on the market, it took a while to get all the Squads with the right fit. In fact Inso even helped me get a dozen of the different types of Vox troopers as I only had dozens of the original one. You somethings have to get a lot of figures you do not need to get the ones you want. I happy with the balance now.

That said I have enough to do a third Platoon down the track. I want to atl least get a player Army ready. I doing all the base coats on the whole Army and then I will start painting them. I have already painted about sixteen figures, but these have now been dispersed amongst other Squads to get a good variances of figures. Inso made well over forty figures so it is not hard to get this to occur. Here is some boring start up pictures.

I still thinking about what ride they will get.

How can one possibly even slightly dislike the squats?
