My blog is primarily my own personal fluff in the Warhammer 40,000 universe regarding the Draconis system such as the Knight House Yato in Ryusei, their Household Militia, the Draconian Defenders, and the Forge World of Draconis IV with its Adeptus Mechanicus priesthood, Cybernetica cohorts and Skitarii legions, and the Titan Legion, Legio Draconis, known as the Dark Dragons.

Rebuilding my Skitarii

Well, I sold my Skitarii quite some time ago. I decided to bring back a small army of Skitarii back for my Knights. I have been experimenting with games, and I feel that the Questor Mechanicus and House Taranis is a better fit for me than House Griffith (sorry) and Questor Imperialis. I'm not sure why, but that is how it is.

So now I have built 3 squads of Skitarii - 1 5-man squad of Skitarii Vanguard (the Alpha is equipped with a phosphor blast pistol and taser goad, 1 guy has an Omnispex, and 2 guys have plasma calivers) and 2 5-man squads of Skitarii Rangers (the first squad has an Alpha with arc pistol and arc maul, and 2 guys with arc rifles, and the second squad has 1 guy with an Omnispex and 2 guys armed with transuranic arquebuses). I have left 5 Skitarii models unbuilt because I don't know what to do with them. Perhaps in future I might get myself some Secutarii, so I might get special weapons that I can equip them with to make a 10-men squad with 3 special weapons (looking at my Skitarii Vanguard with 3 plasma calivers), but we'll see. Right now I have no idea what to do.

Anyway, I hope to run a few games with these Skitarii escorting my Mechanicus Knights! I don't know which forge world to run them in - as much as I want Ryza for the Plasma Specialists Stratagem, the close combat forge world dogma doesn't appeal to me at all. I think I might just go for Graia until I get Kastelan Robots and maybe Kataphron Destroyers - then I will switch to Ryza. For now (because I doubt I'll get any Kataphron Destroyers), I'll just stick to Graia Skitarii, since they fit the theme of 6+++ Feel No Pain alongside my House Taranis-styled House Yato Knights. That Omnissiah's Grace Household Tradition saved my Knight Valiant in a match today! Oh, I'll write a battle report for that soon. I hope.

Missing 1 plasma caliver Skitarii Vanguard because I couldn't build him in time. Built him when I got home, but no point taking a picture of just him.

Oh, if anyone is interested in the 5 new, unassembled Skitarii guys I have left still on sprue, you can let me know and I'll sell them to you for cheap because I don't foresee myself needing them (I doubt I'll be getting the Secutarii, but you'll never know).
