So I have nearly finished the unit of Averland swordsmen but there is basing to finish off with static grass and tidying up, but these five are respectable. The standard bearer uses a basic Games Workshop swordsmen body (now old style) and I have added a standard bearer arm from the Knights set and a head and pistol arm from the militia set. The size is a little wrong since Games Workshop made them bigger but with two larger arms and a head this is slightly mor balanced. Also its a pretty simple paint job on the standard but with the repeating yellow and black of the Averland Black Fire Pass guard it works well.
I do have one of the new style ones that I need to paint up, but this is an original guy. Still have the White Dwarf article somewhere where they were introduced along with Imperial Guard Medics (have to finish and photograph that army at some point as well). The only Dark Angels iconography is in the painted pin shoulder pad. Uses a blue white rather than just using whites and greys. Dark Angels Apothecary
