B ut, having been involved in one way or another with 40k since Rogue Trader, the pre & post Heresy Chapters…well…I really kind of knew it all. After reading the first few Horus Heresy novels too I was utterly sold on the Astartes. Without climbing too far up his anus, the reason was that I’d had a few choice Bitz Box pieces knocking around for a while (all his designs) and really wanted to build a Marine force. Like a certain Chapter Master, Lufgt Huron, I’m feeling fairly pleased with myself at the moment this week I finally finished painting up 2,300 points of Astral Claws Space Marines for Warhammer 40,000.Ī couple of weeks ago I was at Warhammer Worl and got into a conversation with Jes Goodwin (Awesome right?!), and he asked me why I’d picked Astral Claws. First off I’d like to thank Phil (now known as Forgefather), for allowing me to post on his site. Hello readers of The Shell Case and fellow #warmongers. So, without further a do I give you Lee and his miraculous and marvellous Astral Claws: But, rather than just bunging up a whole load of pictures I invited Lee to write a bit of a guest post about them to go with the snaps. Lee Parry, aka has painted himself up a rather splendid Astral Claws army and as he doesn’t have a blog (yet!) I said that I’d show them off for him.
