Solar Auxilia - Lasrifle Sections
Here's the first of three Lasrifle Sections. I won't really show you the other two, as they're essentially the same. These are an amalgamation of three standard Vostroyan IG squads, as my standard squads included special and heavy weapons.
I decided to cobble together four Vexilia Bearers for my Lasrifle Sections, so I now have one ready for when I decide to build a fourth Section (it's looking pretty likely). I used some old shields as the icon backgrounds, and showed the exposed wood to the front to give a strong visual link to the lasrifles. I'm yet to paint battle honors onto the metal plates
On the back of the shields I added some identifiers for each Lasrifle Section.
I hope the New Year is being good to you. I'm ready to get into a LOT more Solar Auxilia very soon : )
Cheers
Dave

Lovely work, man - the Vexilia are inspired!
ReplyDeleteHow did you achieve that faded affect on the numbers?
ReplyDeleteHi Scott,
ReplyDeleteI painted the discs first, from a deep red to a bright red. I then put the number decals on (gloss varnish, then the decal, then gloss varnish, then satin varnish). Finally, sponged on a little dark brown to break up the strong contrast of the white against the dark red.
I hope that helps : )
Just stunning Sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr Awdry : )
DeleteInspiring stuff yet again. I really don't know how you maintain the level of quality at the pace you achieve!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. I already had the infantry painted, so it wasn't really too tough to get the Vexilias done : )
DeleteExcellent re-purposing, Dave. As Mord said, the vexilliarries are quite inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jake : )
DeleteExcellent work on the Vexilia Bearers!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using Vostroyans for a HEresy Era army, their archaic look suits the theme perfectly ;)
