Not quite a legion yet!
My first order of the Legion of the Damned's come in, and I'm working on cleaning up the metals and removing those godforsaken mold lines and flashing. I thought I'd show you guys the big pile of crap I've been able to amass over the past month:
I did manage to get my hands on a lot of old Legionnaires - the ones from 3rd edition. They're slightly smaller in size than the current edition of marines, but I figure if I lump them together in their own squads nobody'll be the wiser. That, or I can put them in vehicle hatches or the likes, where they'll end up making the vehicles themselves look a bit bigger by comparison!
There's a couple classic heavy weapons in that bin - the shoulder-mounted heavy bolters, lascannons, that sort of thing. All of them are the Legion versions, so they have skeleton iconography all over 'em. I think it'd be a pretty cool look to bring this kind of shouder-mounted retro weaponry into a newer, modern army style.
