6th Tactical Reserve Company

So the next to last company is finally going to be posted.  I did a lot of digging into bit boxes and other hobby storage containers getting these models together.  It's still 5 bolter marines shy of a full company, but I'm sure I'll come up with those bodies at some point in the future.

6th Company, Reserve Tactical Company "Wardens of Honor"
    The 6th Company is currently held in Cymru as the rapid reaction company.  It's prepared to quickly deploy if any major enemy force is detected or to respond rapidly to any call for assistance by the Imperium.  The 6th Company is slated to exchange duty with the 2nd Company in the near future barring any major deployment needs.

Captain Eamonn Sidhe
    Company Champion Dafydd Gwilyn
    Company Standard Bearer Padraig Haig
    10 Tactical Squads

        Tactical Squad Cyrdaan. Sgt Cyrdaan

        Tactical Squad Madleiss, Sgt Madleiss
        Tactical Squad Arvais, Sgt Arvais
        Tactical Squad Elcadar, Sgt Elcadar
        Tactical Squad Waelim, Sgt Waelim

        Tactical Squad Meidonn, Sgt Meidonn
        Tactical Squad Dassyne, Sgt Dassyne
        Tactical Squad Phaeton, Sgt Phaeton
        Tactical Squad Aldarion, Sgt Aldarion
        Tactical Squad Eirtyn, Sgt Eirtyn
    3 Dreadnoughts
    9 Rhinos
    4 Razorbacks

So that just leaves the 8th Reserve Assault Company that hasn't been posted.  Seeing as it consists of less than 3 squads, it's not going to be up for quite some time.  But all in all not too bad a collection of marines.  Between the 9 Companies, Command Squads, Chapter Leadership, the Grellon, the Deathwatch Kill Team, ... it's well over 1,000 bodies.  Now just got to get about 500 marines painted ....  Until next time all.

6th Reserve Tactical Company

I'm going a bit old school on this one as a tip of the hat to Neverness who in addition to being nice enough to get me going on this blog, also has a collection of old school GW items that he's yet to even open that would make some museums envious.  So, this blog post is on my 6th Company, one of the Tactical Reserve Companies.

That's right, an entire company of the original 3 part plastic marines

For those of you keeping count, with the 7 pictured in the 2nd Company photos, this makes a total of 15 Rhinos and there are still 4 that haven't made a picture yet.  (I know, I have a problem, but that problem is not running out of Rhino's so far.)

To the left ....

And to the right ....

This company is, except for the command squad, made up of the original plastic 3 part marines.  I finally got to go to a Games Day this past year and at a local game store picked up a huge bag of close to 200 of these guys for roughly $100 (sgts, missile launchers, and meltagunners included) and yes, that means almost an entire other company is made of these guys as well.

We're the semi-modern throwbacks

The command squad is made up of the Captain and some 3 part marines from the Assault on Black Reach set just to keep the theme going for the Company.  It just seemed like an appropriate way to round out the force.

So that's 4 Companies down and still 4 more to share with you with 2 more to build sometime in the future.
