Kill Team: Imperial Navy Breachers (Part Two)

 Back with the rest of my Imperial Navy Breacher Kill Team.

The Grenadier is exactly what it says on the tin.



This model is really interesting and well detailed and does a great job of showing how much Games Workshop has learned about model design.  This isn't the first GW figure I've gotten that has a replacement chest piece, but (previously) they always looked like a proper figure with an extra piece just glued over top, in this case they designed the extra chest armour to have its buckles and straps where the armour flares out.  So basically they conceal one of the shortcomings of this type of figure design by sculpting an extra bit of detail to make the whole thing feel more 'real'.

The Endurant is one of the figures that really got noticed during the teasers.




In the game the Endurant is really slow but holy cow is he awesome when paired up with other figures!  The Endurant has a 2+ save and can be used to lead other figures through the Gallowdark who then benefit from his crazy high defense.

The Surveyor is a techie character.



The Surveyor operates The C.A.T. an exploration robot that has it's origins in Space Hulk, which is a nice wink and a nod to the original GW game of Imperial Troops fighting xenos in claustrophobic environment.

Last but not least we have the Void Jammer.



The Void Jammer is similar to The Surveyor in that he comes with a little attendant robot friend.  The Gheistskull has various abilities to disrupt enemy troops but if I'm being honest I haven't really figured out how to get best use out of this combo.

So that's it for my Imperial Navy Breachers.



I really like both the look and the rules for these figures.  They were a ton of fun to paint and although I'm still figuring out how best to use them I'm enjoying exploring their rules.

Six more days until these figures land in your Friendly Local Game Store!
