The Tyrant's Legion wasn't only composed of normal humans. Space Marines from the Astral claws chapter were assigned to every detachment to ensure loyalty and take advantage of the "ablative" armour offered by the Legion Auxilia. It was also a way for the Tyrant of Badab to hide his ever expanding marines complement which was numbering well beyond the 1000 marine limit as dictated by the codex astartes. Some of these units would be formed into Retaliator Squads, which were primarily concerned for enforcing discipline within the Auxilia. They are close combat oriented and equipped with chainswords and combat shields. I painted up 2 units of 5.
I hope to complete at least one more vehicle for the Tyrant's Legion, but we'll see how it goes.

10 x 28mm miniatures for 50 points.
Thanks for visiting!
An Astral Claws Retaliator Squad sounds like something best avoiding, and looks that way too. Those are some bruisers, and very nicely painted too. I really like the blue with gold should guards. 50 point for you sire, and looking forward to their AFV.
