Mortifactors Vanguard Veteran Sergeant

They are done! They are finished! I have been psychologically tortured and physically injured (more on that later) over the past few weeks working on these bad boys and I can now say that the squad is done. This Vanguard Veteran Sergeant brings my first Mortifactors Elite unit to a close. Let’s take a look at him.

The thing that most people will look at is the weapon. Alas, it won’t come with the initiative bonus that the Grey Knight Halberd comes with, and instead will be treated as a plain ol’ AP3 power weapon but it looks awesome. Fluff-wise, I’m thinking that it’s some sort of ancient executioner’s weapon from Posul. Paired with the shield, it should give this guy a real edge in many challenges (well, unless they have a 2+ save of course).

I’m happy with all the usual details, the bronze, the eyes, the seals… but to be honest, the thing that I’m most proud of is actually finishing the unit. The whole thing is now done and I’ll get some glamour shots ready for the next post. In the meantime, here are a few more shots of the sarge for you to enjoy.

Black undercoat, Citadel paints and a variety of brushes were used throughout.
