Militarum Tempestus Scions

With the new Stormtroopers army out, and rather nice miniatures in plastic to boot, I've decided to put my marines in the drawer for now, and try out some of my favourite Imperial Guardsmen, the Militarum Tempestus. A ridiculous name imo, but whatever. The miniatures are pretty darn good, except for the stupid ornate edging on the armor. I mean seriously, wtf. No way I'm letting my high-tech stormtroopers go into battle with plain metal armor.

Fortunately, it was quite easily remedied by filing away the insulting edges, and has the added bonus of making them look a little battered if you are a little rough on filing. Anyway, after trying out several paintschemes and crying in frustration as none of them looked good, I settled on the one that caught my eye in the armybook in the first place, the Psian Jakals. Something about the whole red lense/skull theme was rather pleasing, fitting with my image of highly trained and well-equipped soldiers of the Imperium. So, after finally finishing one, here he is for your viewing pleasure.
