The company above is one from my Thrygan regiment (codex grey colour
scheme- my Alsief regiment has a yellow colour scheme). I have based
the army around the units I reckon I've painted the best, and so I am
only using 2 Chimeras (the other is not painted and I spent so long
painting these two that I can't not use them), and I have only
re-based 2 stands of codex-grey tactical troops (and I like the look
of them). Also, I have only painted 2 sentinels to what I would
consider an "unimprovable" standard, and as these are codex grey
(Thrygan), they go with the only Thrygan tank/infantry detachment in
the army. No other reason, really. I just reckon it looks cool as a
complete detachment on the tabletop (I hate mixing troops from
different regiments- it just doesn't fit).
