Warhammer 40,000 Vostroyan Firstborn: Part 5

 

Armed with handcrafted weapons passed down through the generations, the Vostroyan Firstborn hail from the Industrial Hive World of Vostroya. To atone for a sin committed during the Horus Heresy, every Vostroyan family must pledge their firstborn son to serve in the Imperial Guard. It is common for family ties to exist in Vostroyan regiments; it is typical for cousins to serve together, and for new recruits to be mentored by their older battle-hardened relatives.

WargamesAtlantic, a 28mm heroic-scale miniatures company, produces a Napoleonic Wars inspired science fiction set of heavy weapons: the Les Grognards Heavy Weapons.  This set includes three heavy weapons sprues and two optional head sprues, which allows you to build a total of six heavy weapon platforms supported by 12 heavy weapons operators.  Additional infantry upgrade components are included with this set, which includes a portable radio (vox-caster), a sniper rifle, a battle standard, a medical kit, and more.

Previously, I used two heavy weapon sprues to build four Aexe Alliance heavy weapons (please see Aexe Alliance part 3 and part 4 for more details).  With the remaining heavy weapons sprue, I built two Vostroyan Firstborn heavy weapons: an autocannon and a mortar team.  With the six heavy weapon platforms built, I had three operators left over.  Thus, I decided to use the left-over figures to build specialist troops with the infantry upgrade components included with this set.  I built a Vostroyan vox-caster, a sniper, and a guardsman with a powerfist.

I am planning to add images of these miniatures to the Vostroyan Firstborn section of the Old Guard, a Warhammer 40K miniature fan site dedicated to the classic range of Imperial Guard miniatures of old (the second edition of the game).
