@evilstu oh I’m well aware of Raging Heroes – on top of a good chunk of minis from their 2 Toughest Girls in the Galaxy kickstarters (and it was mighty ironic that I began assembling the Sisters literally the day before GW announced they were revamping the whole SoB range >_< ) I have their original Ashara mini around here somewhere in Fantasy & SF flavours, as well as her standard bearing concubines…… what was I saying? Oh, right, yeah, RH have some lovely Guard stand-in minis 🙂

Don’t know if the Termie squad will lead to more kill-team projects, but I have been thinking of doing an old-school Crusade-style force of Astartes – in the fluff it’s still accepted that massed engagements by Space Marines are fairly rare (which given how much combat they seem to be involved in is mildly terrifying). More relevantly, it is suppose to be rare for Space Marine chapters to engage en masse with things like the Sabbat Worlds or Macharian Crusades. More likely chapters petitioned by the Crusade high command might send anything from a Company down to a single Space Marine. Building something like a Battalion or Brigade-sized force where each squad is from a different Chapter but have a unified campaign badge on their armour appeals….

@mage – Anarch is the latest Gaunt’s Ghosts novel and follows on from Warmaster as Gaunt adapts to his new role in the Sabbat Crusades hierarchy, and the Ghost’s engage in one of the most brutal engagements that Abnett has written for them. Also Scout Sergeant Oan-fething-Mkoll proves once again he is the Ghost you don’t frak with….

Honorbound takes place during a seprate Imperial Crusade and follows Commissar Seveirna Raine (she of the Black Library anniversary model) as she fights enemies within and without and against her own past. Quite good…

No completely female Scion regiments per-se, more that both books have Scions who just happen to be women show up doing the same work as the boys.
