Soul Drinkers (Pic Heavy)

[valyr]

Having nearly finished my 2500pt footslogger BT army I am now starting to look at my next project:

The Soul Drinkers. This army will be set at a point in time after capture by the Fists. Lysander has executed Sarpedon

for his crimes but somehow the other Soul Drinkers escape, (still working out how!!. Possibly Sarpedon used his powers while

dying to free them??) mutations will mostly be limited to veteran squads and command structure also possibly IC's, saying this though i plan on having a higher than normal

percentage of veteran squads (50-60% maybe but probably closer to 40-50%) in the army to represent the lack of recruiting options for a excomunicate Chapter.

Also before the firestorm starts I freely admit I'm taking huge amounts of artistic licsence in the number and composition of squads in this army when compared to the

readily accepted fluff (novels)

 

Ok enough burble on to the pictures

As you can see all these marines are reclaimed from other armies lol waste not, want not and all that jazz.

Anyway thats all for now comments and opinions are welcome

 

Thanks

I didn't realize they were that mutated. My only real criticism is that the yellow on the power sword looks a bit thick & chunky.

[valyr]

yes the yellow needs re-doing i know as for how mutated they are/should be i did say i was taking a lot of artistic licsence lol
