Horus Heresy - Shattered Legion WIP #1

So I picked up a few things at the Heresy Weekender, primarily to create a small detachment of Shattered Legion, but also to help with a future Ultramarine project. With the upcoming Tempest book and associated models it looks like a good time to be planning for some Ultra-smurfs.

But that is for the future. My focus now is on this small Shattered Legions force. With the possibility of Shattered Legion rules being at least a little ways off I am going to focus on a single legion, the Salamanders but will add in a few Iron Hand models to give them that shattered legion feel.

First up is a Tactical Squad.

Thanks to Maelstrom I inherited a couple of sets of Pyroclasts to add into the melting pot. Combined with an Iron Hands squad purchased at the weekender and a second hand Iron Armour set from Rictus I had plenty of models to choose from.

For the most part these are going to be relatively stock builds but I wanted to make the squad sergeant stand out a little bit. As such I have started a basic conversion using parts from the Pyroclast & Iron Hand set along with a Salamander Mk III torso.

 So far there are only four models built but hopefully this week I can finish up the remainder of the squad before starting on the next addition to the army.

I've also mounted them on some spare 30mm bases I had laying around as the models look a little cramped on the standard 25mm ones.
