Here are the draft rules for their provenance of war (feedback welcome) and some pictures of the rest of the army:
 |
| He is not the most imposing army commander, but he has style. |
 |
| Their regiment is called the Golden Eagles and I wanted the bird to be both a piece of wargear and a sort of mascot so I tried to give it a sort of golden brown color. |
 |
| The wolf pelt and the hunting bird help tie him in with his sworn brothers, the White Scars, and hopefully add a look of being from a martial society and being not fully civilized, as we might think of it. |
The model is made from pieces from the Anvil Industries Regiments line. Since he is a fairly small model, I placed him on a larger base with a big rock to help identify him as the commander.
I used mostly the same palette as the other models in the army, with the same color fatigues, boots and gloves and continued with a very small amount of the regimental color orange for accents. I added a bit more blue as a sign of his rank to help him stand out. The black jacket and hat just felt right and it looks cool. Then I had to find some ways to get the bone color in there, so I used it for the cloak, the gas mask and the bird's hood. I wanted to keep their faces a light color to help the blue and orange really pop the way it does on the other infantry in the army.
The cool thing about the raptor is there is actually a piece of wargear he can have called a Cyber-familiar, so the model fits perfectly! He also has what could be a plasma pistol and power sword. But the main reason to take this guy in an Imperialis Militia army is that he allows the army to take Provenances of War, which will allow my grav-chute army to actually play like the drop troops they are.
