40k - Skitarii force progress.

Force Admon-Teash-Alpha/13

The Skitarii maniples of Force Admon-Teash-Alpha/13 are the product of a generations long experiment of the Divisio Biologis, these men were born to be the finest raw materials for the Skitarii Legions available to the forces of Forgeworld Metalica.

According to legend amongst the Tech-Priest hierarchy, the Omnissiah itself specifically ordered the creation of this Force, however all is not as it seems...

A secret religion is emerging among the Skitarii, based on a strange interpretation of the Omnissiah.
Knight Crusader Chemosh is seen as a living vessel of the Omnissiah, the Skitarii have disobeyed force protocols to go to her aid in the past. Each time the unit Alpha is decommissioned, but no matter how many times the Legion is data purged, the anomaly always reemerges.

They do have their roll of honour however, in the ruins of a murdered hive city on Praxxis VII, the Legion lured an infamous Decimator daemon engine into a trap and destroyed it. 


Well, a festive Christmas period to everyone, here we are again with a Bang!

These Skitarii, of Forgeworld Metalica, have been sitting half painted for far too long, just like Knight Crusader Chemosh, these models belong to my friend. He bought them as part of the old War Convocation formation which GW made, basically it was one of each unit in the Skitarii book, a Tech-Priest Dominus and a Knight.

Skitarii Vanguard - Unit Designation Tyx-60

Skitarii Ranger - Unit Designation Lau-12

Fairly standard stuff, sticking close to the main GW scheme for the particular Forge World in question. I added the red markings to the different models as a way of breaking up the monotony of painting white coat after white coat (the amount of white i seem to paint, i should be taken away by men in white coats).

The urban bases are to match his commission painted Warhound Titan from the Legio Metalica, and the Decimator Daemon Engine referenced in the fluff is a nod to another friend who has one in his Black Legion force.

Next for this army is a couple of units of Sicarian-Infiltrators which he left with me.

I hope you have all had a good Christmas and plan for a good New Year, many projects are planned for then.


Until next time...
