The idea behind this one was to get close to some mongol helmets with fur. gallery_61390_9221_14440.jpg

The reinforced mkIII collar is a tribute to Kapturowski awesome Iron Hands. I know it's the opposite way of traditionnal WS, but I like a lot the brutal look, and think it'll look good once painted.

The last one was a bit of a pain to finish, but Fu-man-shu moustache must be earned. I'm quite happy with the result (close-up to spot the defaults) :

And building a left handed Mk III was more difficult than expected. Anyway, only two to go !

The thing about Mk V is that "it could be anything". Literally. This could be a lighter version of Mk III with improved muscle fibers for better movement speed and it actually be Mk V because the design was never approved by the Mechanicum.

And on a more practical point of vue, there's no "new" kit of MkV at Forgeworld. Thus the old MkV set has only 2 types of legs and 1 type of head / torso. Which is quite poor in comparison with "Legion" Mk III or IV, which have a lot more diversity.

But I'm thinking about a MKV heavy assault squad (mixed with Reavers :))

I was going to do scars, even started them but then the idea of them being the last army with rules and the fact I hate painting white got the best of me. You've done some lovely models though, can't wait to see them painted :)

There's actually a 'third' type of Mk V legs, from the Mk V assault kit. Might be able to snag one from Ebay, if you keep an eye out. (Get it? One-Eye? Keep an eye out? tongue.png )

Back after two nightmarish weeks of work...

I've got to admit I laughed 1kHeathen biggrin.png You're right on the legs, but Ebay is impossible for me now... I think I'll stick to MkV and Mk II for an assault squad I'm planning. Might look more brutal there.

The ninth member of squad Pardus is ready to defend Terra's walls. I wish I could start painting this week (sergeant nearly built).
