Old Terrain - Updated

This little piece of terrain was slapped together by much younger versions of ourselves around 2003 or so. It was looking a little out of place with the stark white snowy base and pristine condition of the barrels and equipment, so I decided to give it a little refresher by adjusting the base to look more similar to the table and the rest of the terrain and adding some dirt and weathering to the equipment. 

Nothing special on its own, but it should fit in OK among the rest of the terrain now. 

Scatter Terrain

In the last games, we realized we needed a bit more small terrain pieces that provide cover. So I decided to work up these quick pieces of scatter terrain before I start painting my sentinel.

Stacks of pipes, barrels and tires. Simple yet effective.

And here they are again with a few models standing behind them for scale.

Drop Troops Grenadiers/Storm Troopers

I painted these guys up to be my Storm Troopers in the 7th Edition Drop Troops list. In Horus Heresy, the closest equivalent is Grenadiers. Either way, these guys are supposed to be more heavily armed and armored than my basic troops. In WH40k, they have hot shot lasguns. In Horus Heresy, they do not have an option for a strong basic gun (boltguns are the strongest option they have) so I will be adding a couple of special weapons troopers to give them some offensive capability. At some point, they will get a Valkyrie.
