2nd 6 Month Painting Challenge – Legion Imperialis Solar Auxillia Leman Russ Exterminators

The second half of the year challenge has begun!  This challenge would normally be a Solar Auxilia Box Set.  However, for the Legion Imperialis teaching list that I played with Brian, I needed the Baneblades, but at the time no Baneblade box sets were available, so I raided the starter box.

To make up for this lack of one of the five included box sets within the starter box, I added the above: a seperate box of Leman Russ Exterminators.  I opted for these instead of the Annhilators because the Leman Russ Vanquishers I already have are exemplary anti-tank shots, but I needed more anti-infantry.  These fit the bill; they are cheap and effective.

With this, my obligations for July are taken care of more than TWO WEEKS EARLY!  This lets me get ahead, so the next painting priority is the hardest; the Solar Auxilia Infantry sprues.  These are full of tiny fiddly figures, so they’ll take extra time, but I’ve got it!  After that, we shall see what will be chosen as the “everyone paints the same model” challenge for August!
