@mage those GoT minis do look most spiffy 🙂

For my part decided to boost that 5-man squad I built using Deathwatch legs up to a full 10-man squad:

And I do like how they look as a unit:

Those more mobile legs do  make them look very… tactical…. and I mean that in the John Wick use of the word rather than the squad description 🙂

Accordingly I think these will be what I use when I get  around to rebuilding my Raptors army – once upon a time this Raven Guard-successor was the only Marine army I built to completion, having a 2000 point force that I took to a GT in the early 2000’s (’03 I think that was), partly because their colour scheme – Camo Green on armour & weapon cases – was dead simple  and partly because the fluff in the 3rd War for Armageddon of these bad-ass Astartes who specialise in jungle fighting just sounded cool. And everything that I’ve learnt since – how they get screwed other almost as much as the Sycthes of the Emperor, Lamenters & Crimson Fists, then carry on but without the recognition – just appealed to me. Anyway, I had some Raptors insignia from Shapeways for the right shoulderpads, and will probably order a batch of lefties come payday, along with some other gubbins….
