5 more tactical stands, giving me three tactical squads and rounding out this project nicely (until I add a few more bits)! 




2397 figures completed this year, nice number!

THREAD NECROMANCY!!! 
Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know.
So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm.
Starting with vehicles
Sirican tanks - whatever they are!


With spare turrets

Anyone else getting angry ladybirds?


Comparison with the originals (kindly provided by one of our forum)


3d printed tarantulas


Autonimous fire support and AA


Don't want to fly over that!


Airpower seems to be a thing in the new rules, so some 3d printed Xipon fighters


Yes, those are 6" rods from Pendraken, utterly impractical, but it's the EPS, so it has to be done!


Neeeeeoooow! Dakkadakka!


The whole batch!

Yes, there are turn signals on one of them...

Which models are these, new plastics or old metals? 

Some of the Dreadnaughts look rather drunk! But they certainly aren't Austin Allegros the Deredos are absolute death storms of shooting

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Well, there's got to be some pleasures in being entombed alive in a walking coffin!

Using them tonight for the first time, we will see about shooting
These are the new landies were a pain to build.

Marine booster pack painted up, group photos!




Mixed bag


About 100 extra points on table! 


"Did I miss the photoshoot?"


*FACEPALM*

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up


Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint!


But there may be a reason for that


Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor!


I mean, the build quality here is awful.


At least the marines will have somewhere to hide


It's about an A3 of ruined stuff


It's been trashed


Comes with a lot of scatter

[fsn]

Nice.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis


Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them.


I regret not doing one with plates!


Brrrrrmmmm...


It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd!
