The rolling thunder of an ongoing artillery barrage echoed in the distance as the squad of Deathriders picked their way through the craters and detritus of the previous assaults over this part of the wastelands.
The call for all squads to regroup had come in twenty minutes ago and the riders were urging their bio-modified cybernetic steeds forward as fast as the conditions would allow.
They were being pulled from recon duties to a fast moving counter attack force, but it would take time to gather all their strength.
If only upper command had authorised extra reinforcements for their sector.
The enemy assault had been ongoing for nearly thirty minutes now, judging by the dark ugly smudges of smoke rising in the distance.
The riders would make the best time they could, the faith and duty of the Kriegsman was without question.
But would the line still be holding when they got there?
The ridemaster upped the pace and his mount looked into a gallop.
Hold the line, he willed, hold the line...
*****
The second squad of Deathriders are complete for my Squadron, which are part of the 261st Siege Regiment.
This is another five man squad with a Flamer included, just to add some spice.
Note Second Squad have yellow stripes, whereas the previously finished First Squad use White as their colour stripes.
Again happy with these, especially now that I've got the trench battleground basing look down.
True my bases do look very dry and dusty compared to the common tropes of WW1 Trench Warfare, but I like them and they match the terrain I've been working on.
Above is the full squadron so far with both First and Second Squads shown.
Below also accompanying the squads is the mounted Commissar I painted to start this project.
Up next for the squadron is Third Squad, who will use Blue as their marking colour.
Lastly, as a reward I will finish off the Mounted Command Squad who will use a combination of Red and White as their colours.
I have all the miniatures I need printed out for this project, so fingers crossed I can find the much needed time soon.
Until next time, have nice day...
