Had a bit more time to work on building my squads over the last few days, decided to get the Sternguard put together!

No major changes with these guys, added some studs, swapped a few heads around, and used a couple of the old Sternguard heads (which are some of the best going, imho)

And also put the Lieutenant together. I really like the idea of him being a lone covert operative, but I think making him Nid specific was a mistake, both in the mini and in rules. I've used an arm and pistol from leftover Infiltrator stuff in my bitzbox to make him more generic. The detail on the base is hacked up enough that it should paint up as grey stones.

If I'd been writing the rules, he'd get Anti- against one Faction you were facing in that game, representing him infiltrating and learning the best way to fight/kill that foe. Seems better balanced that way? As it is, he may get used as a Phobos Lt leading my Infiltrators.

Anyway, progress!!! 

Also, managed to sell my Nid half of the box and used the funds gained to buy a Stormhawk and an Apothecary to join the army! The medic will go with my Hellblasters in an Impulsor. I'm less sure about how to use the Stormhawk, but I think it will look amazing in the Celebrants scheme!

Thanks for looking/commenting!
