Heavy support

As per rules RT era IG support weapons must be crewed by tactical squads, assault squads, Adeptus Mechanicus or servitors. As I do not want to invest in a seperate squad to man the support weapons I intend to use the servitors I have in that role. Because of their cybernetic enhancements each servitor count as two crewmen.

The first support weapon of Bravo Company is this twin multi melta armed Tarantula. The equipment profile in rules for Tarantula gives las cannon as the only weapon option but won´t let that bother me. And I like the fact that my 2nd Tactical Platoon has multi meltas as heavy weapons too. Supported by this Tarantule they propably are the anti-tank detachment of the Company.

Pretty simple paint job: Desert yellow spray for base, black for body and metal for

guns. Light shading with Agrax and the highlights with diluted  Kislev Flesh.

A little bit of red, green and yellow to bring out some details. The servitor

and his pals are presented here.

Adeptus Mechanicus Section

These four models make up my Bravo Company´s Adeptus Mechanicus Section. As the force includes penal battallions troops and a human bomb as per rules it needs a Tech Priest to rig and control the explosive collars and bomb harnesses.

 

 Adeptus Mechanicus and his three Servitors. Is´t nice how

the power armored and power axe wielding AM stands a head taller

than everyone else.

 

The Adeptus Mechanicus is obviously a Bob Olley sculpt.

And in my opinion one of his best.

 

 These three servitors are Confrontation (Necromunda) tech ganger.

Did some kitbashing and gave them modernish Tau arms and equipment

to make them look more cybernetic. They all wear some red to mark them

as possibly unreliable as judged by the Inquisition/Commissars.

 

Two bald outcats

Just a quick posting to close the week. Here are two misfit individual who more or less reluctantly serve the Emperor in the ranks of Imperial Guard. For the psyker the other options are to be killed or shipped to Terra for absorbtion by the Emperor. The servitor on the other hand is a criminal who redeems his sins being turned into something closer to a machine than a human.

This sanctined psyker is a Bob Olley sculpt. The pose is pretty rigid and I

would have preferred on of the Perry psykers but they are hard to get.

The servitor is an old Confrontation Tech ganger who has been updated with

some modern parts. 

I have given both these individuals some red details to their clothing.

Like penitents both psykers and servitors are seen by the commissars as

a possible threat to common troopers´ faith and morale and are therefore

required to wear ´warning colors´. 

On the back this servitors head a dataport can be seen. With

his cybernetic arms he/it can manipulate equipment more efficiently 

than normal troopers.
