Inceptors

So I'm wondering what works best on inceptors. In my mind, and in my list, the plasma kind of fills a role of anti elite. I have plenty of d2, so something that can drop in, erase some chunkier boys, and tie up a spot would be ideal. I'm thinking 2 squads of 3. If I drop in terrain I'm also rerolling 1s, which may actually benefit the bolters more with sus 2.

Here's the list.

First Test Models

Unsure which route to go here. Decided to do three test models to start my army and I'm struggling to pick one. There's two "traditional" styles and one enamel based.

From left to right. All are wraithbone based, with IF contrast armor.

1st - minimal highlighting and shading. Painted base colours and some details and varnished, then hit with decrepit filth enamel from villainy ink. Looks nice and grimy.

2nd - used seraphim sepia on the armor, and nuln on the metallics and gun. Highlighted with phalanx yellow and Dorn yellow in the more exposed edges.

3rd - same as 2nd but I used Cassandora yellow instead of seraphem sepia.

I'm mostly between the 1st and 2nd. Both are relatively easy to mass produce.

I still need to black the base trim but it's "finished" I think. Overall pretty happy and can't wait for round 2 on the second one.

Is it excessive enough?

Also I chose black templars for the rhino because my brother has an untouched black templar army in their boxes, and I figure this was a funny jab at him.
