Several months ago my club decided to try out the Kill Team events pack, however once the basic play testing was over it was decided that it would conflict with shedualed events. Since then we've rebooted the project following the christmas kill team release. We've now decided that should be in the early spring period, giving me two months to build my complete kill team.

Originally i was going to post this are part of my project 142nd as an allied force/self contained distraction, however the more i dig around to establish the armies character the more i find myself thinking upon it as an army. Strike forces have always been my preference for Astarte, and the added bonus of a simple but characteristic scheme along side the wide spread use of heresy era gear has sold me. That said, i am known for strapping pricey projects when i've got other cheaper more effective armies in the works. As it stands the 142nd is going to dominate my budget for the next 3 months, so the Kill Team may be as far as it goes.

So here's where i'm up, using the old rule set as a guideline;

Army; Space Marines
Chapter rules; Raven guard
Army List;

-Sternguard Sergeant, Chainsword, Bolter, Rending
-Sternguard Veteran, Plasmagun, Ignores Cover
-Sternguard Veteran, Heavy bolter, Relentless
-Sternguard Veteran, Bolter, Bolt Pistol
-Sternguard Veteran, Bolter, Bolt Pistol
-Sternguard Veteran, Bolter, Bolt Pistol
-Sternguard Veteran, Bolter, Bolt Pistol



I'm currently waiting on a heavy bolter, and i'm trying to work out a few additional details at the moment. However this should give you a basic feel for the squad. Once my new airbrush arrives and i correct some of the modelling quirks (the slightly angled axe head for example) then i should be providing higher quality photo's of the squad.

Looking forward to this. Always a good way of doing something different in the hobby and trying new skills etc. You also don't seem to be the only one doing this and I'm considering doing this as well atm.

Looks like a good start!

Love it keep it up.

Really nicely posed. The chain really sets them off. Love it.

I take it that Contemptor will be for a larger Carcharodon force?

Kill Team is the perfect solution to small highly customised forces, which is what most hobby types are capable off. Keeping it up over an army is quite hard, but on 10 or less men? fun times!

If the project escalates, yes, as will the rhino/predators shown in the photo below.

Time for the test mini. I've decided to invest in the FW transfers for the shoulders, simply because i want to do some weathering that my own freehand work wouldn't respond to well to.

I'd play a force of guys that look like that. Looking forward to more.

Gorgeous man. You really nailed em down.

I love the look of your force, it's very nice.

Where did you buy the chains at?

Awesome work, love the painting and conversion.

Are you using the Blood for the Blood God paint for the blood? If not, I suggest picking up some of that or Tamiya Clear Red, it helps the blood look really fresh and suits a chapter like the Charcadons really well.

Awesome work.
