From MikeF - Rapier Support Weapons for 30k (42 points)

Last week I posted my naval troops for 30k and mentioned they would serve as the crew for the rapier support weapons for my Imperial Militia 30k army. The models are from Kromlech and also serve as a not cheap alternative to Forge World. There are 3 quad multi-laser looking guns and a conversion to represent a laser destroyer. The 8 infantry are from last week and added to complete the look. The grey guns with naval troops was actually inspired by GregB's British Sudan force

That's 4 artillery pieces for 40 points I think.

I see the crew of HIMS Pinafore have access to some much-needed firepower!

I'll score them as 28mm artillery pieces and throw in an extra 2 points for the laser cannon conversion.

Some very tidy work there, well done!

  1. Nice, clean colours. Well done.
    I'm always tempted by Kromlech, but I dislike working with resin. How was the casting? Was there a lot of cleanup to do?

  3. These are very cool, Mike, and a great alternative to the usual stuff you see for 40/30K. I like the quasi-naval uniform of the gun crews.

  4. StuartL - The castings are very good. The resin supports are attached to the bottom of the tracks and body so are hidden when based. Kromlech is also good to deal with. An order was lost in the mail and he sent a replacement order.
