I’ve decided to base up my Exo-Armoured Hearthguard with bark too. This gives them a lot more battlefield presence, and means they don’t look sillyily small in base-to-base.

I’m really enjoying painting the Red Scorpions Captain at the moment. I want to paint a squad to go with him and then play Space Hulk…

In all their games so far the Hearthguard have been used as power-armoured Grey Knights. This has surprised a lot of people as when I say they count as Grey Knights they automatically assume Terminators and not power-armoured. The 40mm bases I’ve put them on now allow them to be fielded as Terminators, and will also help them spread out further when they deep strike, even if I field them as only power-armoured. A little cheeky, but the models look far too cramped on 25mm anyway…
