What models would be appropriate for tranquility camo patter?

What models would be appropriate for tranquility camo patter?

I am looking to paint one or more of my mantis warrior models in the tranquility pattern, but I can't determine what model (outside of the eliminators) would make sense. What comes to mind is painting some of the marksmen models (models that have bolt rifles/carbines with large optics) as tranquility patterned. Another thought that comes to mind is painting some terminators in the tranquility pattern as ambush attackers.

I know that the tranquility camo pattern is shown as for sniper units in the Mantis Warrior chapter, but the original color scheme shown here has a bolt rifle. Would any marksman unit potentially have this pattern? Do you think it was used more for ambush attacks on Tranquility 2, similar to how they dealt with the Slave lords?

Could Garlon Souleater be Ahazra Redth ?

After the death of Yaryan Sartaq the Chapter Master of the Mantis Warriors during Badab War, Ahazra Redth, first archivist of the chapter was nammed Chapter Master, after the war, his body was never found and now a Mantis Warrior close to Huron appears with him in his private circle, in the White Dwarf we are told that Garlon Souleater fled to avoid facing the judgment of the Imperium to join Huron as soon as he could.

Thematic force

Hi, im building a firstborn badab era army and am struggling with how to build a thematic list / how to organize my units.

So i wanted to ask first of all, what edition do you play in / do you use for building your army?

What units do you include / are most on theme with mantis warriors?

I have been thinking of eiter building my list around 10th/11th edition units and proxying primaris units with firstborn bodies but more or less WYSIWYG loadouts.

Or using older editions units for army building and whenever i get to play with the army either playing older editions or proxying models with "wrong" loadouts.

I am using a lot of bits and kits to get some armor variation but im not realy sure what units i should be building other than the classic tacticals, land speeders and maybe scouts.

Im not shure how to add for example the tranquility II veteran snipers for example. Any other ideas for thematic units?

Thanks!
