Marsch der Paradiser

Now that the commission is finished, I turned back to the Stormtrooper unit for my Paradisan LXIX Infantry force. The idea with these is that they're an integrated part of the regiment, a special unit that gets dispersed in packets to strengthen assaults or reinforce a defence, and, rarely, deployed en masse to spearhead an attack. They wear largely the same uniform as the rest of the regiment under their armour, but their armour is much heavier and grey, rather than blue, like the standard kit of the Paradisan infantry.

All of which is to say they are a mash-up of 1910s Prussian and 1917 Imperial German infantry:

I've got them about half-way really. The next step is to paint black on gloves, webbing, weapons, gas masks, power cables, helmet camouflage, and boots. Then highlight the greys and blues, apply various details such as plasma glow, belt buckles etc, and then do the faces. After that it's time to do the basing! I think they're going to get urban/ash waste basing to match my Argent Shroud and Raptors armies.
