My head canon is that in Huron's move to shift the Astral Claws into the Legion-esque chapter they became there was also slight variance in squad load outs (much like the Retaliator squads) to fit the combat doctrine of the chapter in rapid assault.

Hence, Devastators with plasma guns! Also I use them as Hellblasters in 11th edition

Finally finished these Hellblasters for my 11th edition Astral Claws project. The aim for the project is to make an army heavily themed around the Astral Claws right before their secession from the wider Imperium.

My head canon behind this squad is that they're a product of the vastly over-strength Astral Claws before their split would favour varied squad types rather than just those laid out by the Codex Astartes. A 'Devastator' squad more akin to a tactical support squad of the Legions of old, made sense to me given Lugft Huron's plan to recreate the Great Crusade era Imperium as evidenced by the creation of the Tyrants Legion.

I'm pleased with the outcome of these guys!

Inspired by many of you on this sub-reddit, I mixed HH and firstborn kits using the biblical amounts of space marine bits I have from 5th edition onwards

Loved bringing this unreliable brute into the fold of the Axis!

It's been a while! My Nachtzehrers and Totenrotte Commander and Medic are finally finished.

Went for a particularly dirtier look for the walkers as I imagine they bury themselves underground with the Totenkorp before an Axis attack and emerge once battle is joined.
