Allusian Naval Infantry: a Bespoke Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team

After 25 years, I have finally gotten some use out of my Forge World Elysian Drop Troops!

Command Section:

I made judicious use of various 3d-printed resin bits to customize some of the team. 

I also dug into my bits box for Inquisition pieces, Kroot gear, and others. 

Presented here are nearly all of the options available to a Vet Guard Kill Team - I may add a Confident Vet with bolter at a later date. 

Storm Section: 

In the meantime, please enjoy the completed team! 

Gunnery Section: 

Tactical Section:

Scout Section: 

 

Majestic 13: Mission 1 - The Ichor Spitter

 Mission 1 

Wilderness - ignore Civilians FUBAR rolls of 2+; Call for Aid -1 

No Bureaucratic Event 

Primary Objective: Ichor Spitter (See intel) 

Secondary Objective: Beacon Drops 

The team, excited but wary, infiltrates to contact. 

Contrary to appearances, this is a Wilderness zone

The Spitter, gliding across the rooftops of the facility, spots Lady J as she directs her team. She doesn't even see the slug of acid that hits her square in the chest, leaving her a sizzling body in the field. 

Ain't nobody gonna survive a 34-point crit

Daisy peeks through a doorway and shoots at the creature, and gets a blast of acid in the shoulder for her troubles. Joe and Connie race for the beacons, firing as they go, each sensing that the team is already in trouble and will need help sooner rather than later. Dutch lobs grenades from his position at the rear, but they land nowhere near the beast. 

Daisy screams as she receives a second spray of acid, this time full in the face. Hurt and blinded, she stumbles downstairs, groping for Joe and his medkit. Joe and Connie activate both beacons, as the alien menace hovers silently to the other end of the lab rooftop. Dutch fires again, but return fire cuts him down. 

The three remaining team members run for cover, Connie screaming on comms for immediate evac. The choppers arrive in minutes, and their combined firepower are able to keep the Ravager at bay until everyone boards.

Daisy 3 (+1 Combat to 13) 

Lady J 2. Arm Amputated.

Summary: This mission could not have gone worse. 

A couple X-Men, a couple Black Order

 I wasn't going to post these, but they are not half-bad, and showcase my 'painterly' style, I suppose... 

Jean Grey, aka Jean Grey

Jean Grey's 'done with this' face

Scott Summers, aka Cyclops

 

Alien lady name, aka Black Swan

 

Other Alien lady name, aka Supergiant 

Nobody Expects the Finished Inquisition!

 I can finally call these guys done. They fought me every inch of the way, and it shows, but I am happy with some of them, at least. 

Enlightened and Interrogator

The Interrogator is holding a copy of the most recent Kill Team rules. 

Tome Skull and Autosavant 

These are my favorite guys. The Tome Skull text is hand-painted. I painted a bit of subtle OSL for the candle light on the Autosavant. They were fun to paint. 

Servitors 

Plasma and Heavy Bolter shown here. I also have a Melta barrel. The weapons are magnetized and hot-swappable.

Death World Veteran and Penal Legionnaire

The DWV is painted after Sargeant Stone, from the old 54mm Inquisitor game. The penile Penal Legionnaire looked a bit Hive-Worldy, so I did him up like that. 

Pistoleer and Questkeeper

The Pistoleer is the coolest dude. 

Hexorcist and Mystic

I got a set with the Ashes of Faith boxed set, but added another since most of the bodies can be used for two different characters. I did end up with a spare Autosavant and Tome-Skull, but I'm sure I'll find a use for extra robots down the road.
