Sternguard

This weekend I had my first round of 40k; sadly, my Imperial Fists were crushed ruthlessly by a Blood Angels contingent - a pox on those assault troops.

still, it was fun to see the game in action. it was also nice to deploy what painted troops i have.

So far in my yellow saga i have completed 10 models - four tactical troops plus a tactical sergeant, one terminator and most excitingly four stern guard. in my opinion, the new finecast stern guard models look fantastic and are a lot of fun to paint.

Below are some pics of my stern guard. as you can see ive gone for a more subdued yellow rather than super bright. The guys aren't strictly speaking codex because i wasnt in love with a red Aquila. instead, i figure given the Fists love of scrimshaw its not too far out the box to do their trims in bone.
