More Steel Legion today - this time is my freshly finished mortar teams. I've had these guys for a while, but they were always lower down on my list of priorities. After adding up a few potential army lists, I realised that they'd be useful to have as an add on unit to fill those gaps where I was left with thirty or so points to spend.
They're pretty much 100% Anvil parts, so nothing to report on that front. Anvil supply heavy weapons teams with smaller bases than the GW ones; which means that you have the second crewmen on individual bases. I think I'd prefer a 60mm round base, but it does make marking wounds easier.
Style-wise, they match the rest of the army. Most of my guys are styled with very busy bases like they're in the thick of combat. I went with calmer more plain bases for the mortars as I envisage them always being out the back of the force providing support.
Lovely job, really like the Mortars too
ReplyDeleteThanks Siph. Just posting the stuff I've got really! I recommend Anvil to everyone too for 3rd party bits. Always great quality, but their self-promotion sucks!
DeleteExcellent job as always!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. With so many finished units, the force is pretty big now - about 60 fully painted infantry models and counting.
DeleteGreat work Blazmo. The colors ... for want of a better phrase ... really jumps out from the blog photo. They look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI really do like those Anvil Mortars. They're my fave of their Heavy Weapons line. Great job showcasing them with the paint and basing work here!
