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.

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).
