Long Time, No Siege

It's really been FAR too long since I posted on this blog, but i've been working on a few things which i'll post soon. Most of Red Platoon is now painted lacking only a Chimera to finish it off entriely.

With the first two squads of Yellow Platoon painted along with their transports its getting very close to having a fully painted legal army. Barring a few models for the company command squad and Yellow platoon command squad that is, which are in progress.

Even the third platoon (Green, I must think of some better names than just their colour) has its basic command squad sorted ready for painting (although this may be some time away) to go with their finished chimera.

Hopefully i'll get round to posting some of these finished squads and transports as well as getting more things done. At last count there's about 3500 points painted, but that does include a Baneblade which isn't exactly easy to shoe horn in every game.

Red Platoon, Infantry Squad 1 - Staff Sgt Kellerman

Staff Sergeant Kellerman

Sgt. Kellerman was promoted to the rank of Staff Sgt. following an encounter with a Necron scout group while part of an extended squad of 20 guardsmen. Prior to the area being cleared for construction of a base of operations on a hostile world the squad discovered a force of some 30 Necrons laying in wait. Presumed to be an advance group for a battle force, Kellerman and his men set about ambushing the group before any further reports of the impending Imperium base were sent.

In the course of the battle, all but three of the squad were mortally wounded or killed in the midst of fire leaving only Kellerman, a Corporal and a Guardsman to take out the half dozen remaining Necrons. After setting a trap, the three man team felled four by weapons fire alone leaving two standing, both of which were dispatched by Kellerman in close combat with his trusty Power Sword, but not before his remaining squad mates were slain.
