After a few days away I finally completed the final steps of assembly of my 2 Kataphons´ Units from my Extermination Maniple - one Destroyer and one Breacher.

The Breachers scheme is finally not as convincing as I initially thought. Getting armour plates reds and tracks grey makes that the visual impact of the armour is a little bit too present I feel. On the other hand they are quite in synthony with the rest of the army, especially the Priests and Robots, but I do feel lak there is a lack of subtility. Anyway, I will not repaint them, so, they I will have to convince myself they are OK in the big picture... May be a vertical red stipe on the front shield armour would improve the whole aspect and unify the transition from red to grey?

As for the Destroyers, they are more classic in their style and the red plates, even if they are still there, are not so over present.

I am still waiting for my Patrol box, ordered since July 24th... When it will be delivered, I will increase the size of the Destroyers, with the same tooling, increasing the unit size to 6.

As usual, some additional pics can be found in my galleries and comments are more than welcomed.

This is by the way an important milestone too: as of today it only remains in my W40k pile of shame/accumulated minis:

- 10 half built guardians,

- 2 kit bashed tanks

- 1 esher ganger

- 3 IG heavy weapon teams

I may add 5 ooP rhinos chassis to repaint and 6 wolves, but these ones are also used for Goblins´ carts in my old WFB... But it means I do not have any model left on sprues. Even if there are a lot of bitz on sprues now.

It looks like I see the end of the tunnel since I resumed my painting at start of Covid. Might be worth a dedicated post in the future.
