Recruiting new toy soldiers by getting them out of the cubbyhole and onto the table.
When I jumped back into the hobby, I found a box of things I had been working on. There was a genestealer cultist with a flamer, and a whole lot of marines in progress. The cultist has been finished, so it was time to clear out a few other projects. I give you, the pointing sergeant and a marine with multi-melta:

| Target acquired! |
Games Workshop has revealed that a new version of Killteam is on it's way. I was apprehensive at first, as I don't feel I played nearly enough games of the current edition. Then the rules started trickling out, and I was surprised how much they changed. At this point I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be a very nice update and a fun new ruleset. So why not celebrate by finishing up my current Killteam's before I have to re-build and expand for the new rules!

| Recon Team Delta reinforcements travel through the rubble |
Among the Guardian Angel Space Marine Chapter there are several scout forces. The one known as "Recon Team Delta" was known for several key engagements in the past, but has been quiet for some time. Comprised of the 8th and 9th squads of the chapter's 4th company, the team was known for its marksmanship and working behind enemy lines. Now rumor has it, they are back to prove they still have what it takes.

More snow and family things to tend to this week, so no new finished models to look at. So let's meet the second Killteam I have some models in the work for:
Founded sometime in the current millennium is the young Chapter of Space Marines known as the Guardian Angels. They are a fleet based chapter constantly on recruitment to fill their numbers. Due to these factors, they have a higher than normal number of scouts. This has cemented their reputation as a recon force among the imperium.

| The Guardian Angels lead the way! |
The origins of the Guardians seems to be a secret. Some say they are successors of the Dark Angels; though that's likely due to their iconography and early actions with the founding chapter. Others point towards a successor of the Salamanders due to their high use of melta weapons and some lizard trophies carried amongst the brothers. There are even rumors they are some sort of experamental chapter by the High Lords of Terra founded by veterans of a few chapters. Whatever the truth may be, they are certainly founding their own place in history very quickly through their actions.
