ProminusIV Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 ––– The Vanitor 501st ––– A combined arms hive defense force, made up of professionaly trained soldiers from hive Vanitor combined with veterans from the different nomadic families roaming the ash wastes. This collaboration combines both the industrial prowess of the hive, with ambush and lightning fast tactics from the ash wastes. The 501st are under the forced leadership of Wilhelm von Hoff. The von Hoff family recently made enormous losses in the feuding families of the higher spires, which consequentially sent Wilhelm to the front lines as leader of the 501st. Which, even though he despises, does exceptionally well. –––––––––––––– This is my long-time coming guard force i have been dreaming of as a kid, and it's finally time to develop this into a serious force. I have my first tournament coming up during the eastern weekend, so untill then i have a bunch to paint. Expect a couple bigger updates over the following months. Let me know what you think of the army, C&C is very welcome indeed!

Reyner Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Dude. Love the colour scheme and the conversions are great - I resisted buying the Anvil Trench Raiders gear for so long :D The Skitarii Vanguard helmets are awesome bits.

Sandlemad Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 These are very good. Great conversions and a lovely subtle scheme.

The Pounder Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Breathtaking. Loving the mix of parts and kits, such diversity and character oozing from every model!

Tallarn Commander Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yes, this is an impressive collection. I really admire the attention to detail on the ash wastes nomads--the extra rounds on the shoulder pad, the individual numbers, the rifle scope, etc. Truly an accomplishment.
