'Reconnaissance' from MikeF: 30K Imperial Militia

This is my first year as participant in the challenge and I've managed to complete my first entry, which also happens to fit the fortnight reconnaissance theme.




I've just started painting a new army for Horus Heresy 30k based on the Imperial Militia & cults army list. I'm using Anvil Industry's regiments line which are absolutely fantastic models. They are also fairly expensive and not really a cheap alternative to Forge World. 



The army is based on the Inferalti Hussars which are briefly mentioned in the novel, Praetorian of Dorn. This unit is literally called 'Reconnaissance Squad' and are all equipped with sniper rifles. With red armor I assume they recon the enemy by getting lit up, which seems very 30k. 10 models for 50 points plus 50 theme points.

  3. Awesome work, Mike! I like the idea of a 30K militia/cult list. I have some of the Anvil stuff as well and really like their castings (but as you say, not cheap).
