Taking command

Today's post is a chunky post! I decided to put a few models together, since they are part of the same squad. Each one is a character upon whom I lavished quite a lot of attention, and so they are worth showing off indvidually, but I've done a lot of painting recently, and these go together, so why not make a big post showing them all off?

 First up is the Company Standard Bearer. Marfa Prince is proudly waving the company standard, showing the Vrayaxian colours and the emblem, which shows a flying fish, symbolising the Vrayaxian people, soaring above a broken hammer, that symbolises the Imperium. The miniature comes from Victoria Miniatures.

I took this photo just before deciding to repaint the base rims black. Something wasn't quite right, and after repainting the rims on a couple of test miniatures, it was clear that the rim colour was that something. The whole army now has black rims.

 

Next up is tough Veteran, Tessa. Tessa wears a respirator mask to protect them from toxic environments, and often leads the way through unknown environments, where they can smash foes with their huge hammer and annihilate them with their bolt pistol.The miniature is from Forge World.

Next is Ulanya Tremayne. She is an Astropath who can unsettle enemies with telepathic murmurs, or project orders to the minds of friendly units. She carries an autopistol, just in case the ememy get too close.The miniature is from Artel_W.

Finally, we have Kuklina Morton, another Company Veteran. They carry an autogun that they fire with the help of their bionic left hand. Their original hand was lost in the battle of Stergan, where it was cut off by a Catachan knife.I think the miniature came from Bad Squiddo Games.

Those are the new characters, so let's see them all together! I have made some progress on the Lyubay (capital of Vrayax) gaming board, with some potted trees and one island completed. I have just applied black wash to the remaining islands and will drybrush them soon. I will then start working on some buildings (one has already been primed). 

The first island makes an excellent place to show the Command Squad in all their diverse glory!
