I thought I would share a project after a long absence of posts. After seeing how effective the Master of Signals is in previous games of 30K that I've played I decided that I could really use one myself. The barrage ability can be devastating to the other side and allowing one of my heavy weapon squads to hit on 2+ is the icing on the cake.
I wanted something a little different than the Forge World kit in Mk 4 armor. I am partial to Mk 2 so I used that for the body and an officer upgrade kit for the head. I prefer the slightly raised effect of etched brass for my characters so that was a must for this marine. The plasma pistol and the lightning claw come from the Mk 3 plastic marines. The finishing touch, which really makes this mini stand out as the Master of Signals is the backpack, which comes from the 40K Cadian infantry box.
My EC army has grown quite a bit in the years since I started on them in 2012 and I am very happy with the way they look, despite not winning very much. I plan on doing some follow up articles covering some of the challenges I've had and the solutions to those.
