The kneepads will defo take some getting used to but I think they're inspired by real-world military gear where the plasticy pad is integrated into the fabric rather than strapped on.
It irks me a
little bit that some of the kit isn't standard too, like the rifles have varying grips and buttstocks and I've seen a couple of different canteens. Not a big deal mind-you it just upsets my minor OCD about guard uniformity
Did I hear you say PRAETORIANS???
Also in the group shot showing the new models on the tabletop, there's a guy dead centre of the shock troops in the back, possibly the Sgt. actually that looks like he's got an autogun(?) firing from the hip? Definitely something with a box magazine or a bigger powerpack at least...
Ooh I can't contain my excitement, there's gonna be vehicles, assault weapons, snipers, flyers and maybe even a revival of old regiments too! The blurb about 'Parade Drill' mentions Mordian as matter-of-fact too!
Unfortunately my good lady has just pointed out that I haven't actually finished any of the things I currently have, INCLUDING a massive IG force
