Steel Legion vehicles and more Doomed

 I finished two more vehicles for the Steel Legion. They're from Mortian Models and represent another Chimera and Hellhound. My game with Dallas showed that the stormtroopers need a more dependable ride, so they'll get the chimera. I painted the unit markings blue to represent the vehicle detached from a different company. The Hellhound turret weapons are magnetized and also come with different weapons to represent the different options for the vehicle. These are the last Mortian vehicle I have. I'd like to pick up one more Russ from them, but they're being re-designed and aren't available yet.

I also completed a third unit for The Doomed - The Inheritor Courts. They represent the last remnants of law and government in the world and are supposed to be some kind of techno-knight. I didn't paint them up as grungy as they should be a bit more put together than the other factions. I used a mix of Bretonnian Men-at-arms, Frostgrave soldiers, a space marine and a Chaos Warrior. I do hope to actually put on a game soon.

Steel Legion Leman Russ

I’m forgot to post these when I completed them last month. They first appeared in Dallas’s post about our recent game against his Sisters. The models are from Mortian Tanks in Germany. They’re really nice models that only required the basic model work expected for most resin vehicles. I included a pic to provide some scale compared to a GW Leman Russ. The tanks did well in their first outing despite losing to the Sisters or Battle. Once the battle cannons started hitting home, they started exploding sisters everywhere. Unfortunately multiple squads were left with at least 1-3 survivors in each denying me precious victory points. Dallas also didn’t have much that could deal with them. This hardly matters since he was more than capable of burning away most of the infantry. Overwhelming victory as reported by the tank crews!

Traitor Militia Malcador Tank

 I picked up a Malcador Tank off ebay last month thinking I got a good deal. It was in rough shape, but I figured I could whip it back into shape. Unfortunately, when the model came it had all the hallmarks of "foreign" resin. If I had wanted a recast, I'd have just bought one. I was going to go back to the seller, but upon a sober second look at the listing, there was no mention anywhere of "Forge," "World" or any combination of the two. I should have known better, but I let my excitement get the better of me. "Well played sir! I'll just go f*** myself over here, while you count my money!" 

I decided to make the best of it and figured a well weathered tank would look suitable in the Horus' traitor militia. It's not like Horus is earmarking the best equipment for these guys.

The model is equipped with a battle cannon and 3 autocannons. The autocannons are from Mortian Tanks.

That's it for the Traitor Militia. I'll try to post a whole army post this week.
