I spent quite a while today painting and managed to get the first infantry squad sorted for the Paradisan LXIX. They look quite dapper actually, in their blue and grey, with the rose pink facings and the shiny pickelhaubes. What's interesting is that they have at least three different pattern of lasrifle - there's one with a wire folding stock, one with iron sights, and one with what looks like an optic or red dot sight. It makes them look slightly less uniform, which is a curious design choice. I like it, but it is a change from the previous plastic Cadian range, which had a total of two different lasrifle patterns - folding stock or fixed stock!

| Front rank - flame-trooper and Sergeant |

| You can see the funky colours of the Sergeant's rank chevrons leap out which is cool |
 |
| I only noticed after I started painting but the vox-operator's coat cuffs are different. The right hand one is slim and the left hand one is turned back! I'd have changed it if I'd noticed before I got the paint on... |

| I like the mug hanging off the right-hand trooper's webbing |

| 1st Squad, Red Platoon, Yellow Company, White Battalion, Paradisan LXIX Infantry Regiment |
I'm not sure if I want to do another squad of troopers, or a platoon command section, or something different altogether. Will have to rummage in the box of Guard troopers!
