Heresy Era Imperial Fists - Tartaros Terminators begin!
Quick hit today - Nearing the finish line on the next batch of Acolytes, but I couldn't help but take a quick detour and lay in the initial yellows on the squad of Tartaros Terminators for the Imperial Fists over the last couple sessions!
While the Imperial Fists are one of a bare handful to get access to proper assault cannons in the Heresy, from an aesthetic standpoint I went plasma for this unit (the blue coils should set off nicely against the yellow) with a pair of plasma blasters and a scattering of combi-plasma guns. Overall I still prefer the look of the Cataphractii plate but these models were quite fun to build!

Finally! Someone's gotta keep those filthy xenos in check -_-
ReplyDeleteTwo projects at once ? Dangerous ground...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Tartaros armour design! Looks so good in your [patented] mustard yellow. Are these from the Prospero boxed set or FW?
ReplyDeleteWe both love Thousand Sons and Imperial Fists in 30K? So very alike then.
ReplyDeleteI think I missed how you did them first time around...
@Zab: Hah! There's been a lot of xenos filth of late!
ReplyDelete@Frothing Muppet: Indeed! Looking to find the appropriate areas for accent panels. I'm intending a 5-man unit of Cataphractii which will be predominantly black with yellow accents as a contrasting unit.
@Zzzzzz: Hah, I wish it was just two projects. At last count there's six. Bad idea! :)
@Dai: Thanks! These are the Prospero box plastics, and went together like a dream!
@Rory Priest: Indeed! I'd done a medium-sized force in early 2015, it was probably time to revisit 'em, right?
Cheers, everyone!
Look awesome so far :)
ReplyDeleteThey look amaze balls! That's a fantastic yellow. These are for heresy right?
ReplyDelete@NafNaf: Thanks man!
ReplyDelete@Col. Hertford: Cheers! Indeed, back on the heresy kick with these!
Oh! Very nice. You have a talent for yellow, my friend. (that sounded better in my head)
ReplyDeleteI was waffling between this and Pre-H Death Guard for my Prospero box.
@#2501: Thanks man! I was in the same boat on the DG vs IF scheme, the Mk.III armor really lends itself well to either force!
