MkII Assault Marines

I finally assembled my MKII Assault Marines! The moment they were revealed earlier this year, I knew I wanted a squad of my own MKII Assault Marines. They are awesome looking models, and I really prefer them to the MKVI beakies. They just have this cool, brutal look to them that drives home the grimdark vibe. Or 40K knightly vibe.

The Sergeant and a couple of them are armed with power weapons - 2 power swords and 1 power axe. I originally wanted to arm all 3 with power swords, but I simply don't have enough power swords. Oh, well.

The rest are equipped with chainswords. They all have combat shields for that invulnerable save. I'm going with Dark Angels and the whole "knightly" theme from Caliban (or Arthurian theme), so I prefer swords to axes. I did compromise with that single power axe, but in the end, I still stuck to my choice of swords. I was also stuck between starting a new Imperial Fists army, but in the end, I went with adding them to my existing Dark Angels army.

The rest now hinges on me getting the Saturnine box. Now, I should have enough spare bits to kitbash Destroyers and increase my Dark Angels command squad to 10 men (now you know why I don't have enough power swords). In the pipeline, I also want to slowly add to my Imperial Militia because of all the kitbashing possibilities (volkite culverin heavy weapons squads!).

Oh, and I'll be selling the chainaxes, if anyone is interested. I'll first post on the SG 40K Facebook group and see if any locals want to pick them up, but if nobody in Singapore wants them, then I don't mind shipping overseas (you'll have to pay for shipping, though).
