Scots from Spaaaaace - Sorting my Storm Wardens

Decorations and details

I haven’t experimented around too much with adding more flavour to the models but its defineatly something I would like to try when modelling going forward. Some ideas include…

• Pelts – it would be good to add some pelts or more capes to the units, particularly the higher ranks. It would fit in with their whole highlander feel and the cold environment.
• Tartan – I’ve muddled around with this one in the past and whilst it is interesting I would like to find a way of doing tartan more subtlety. I feel a whole tartan cloak looks a bit silly and I’m not sure kilts would look any better!
• Claymores and force swords – Where can I get bigger swords from? I need to have a look around some bits websites. I think Grey Knights have some bits that would work for larger two handed swords.
• Face paint- Again, I’ve messed around with this a bit and I love adding face paint onto my models. The counter to this is that I hate painting daces and avoid bare heads where I can. Perhaps it’s another thing for the higher ranks?

Those are just a few things to play around with going forward I think. I’m not massively experienced with kitbashing but you gotta start somewhere!

Oh and quickly I thought I would just note down helmet colours for rankings. I seem to have forgotten lately and messed it up so worth putting it in writing now:

• Trooper – Silver or Blue
• Sargeant – Bronze
• Lieutenant- Purple
• Captain and above – Red
