Cadian Standard Bearer

Painting progress has been slow lately, and blogging with it. This guy took a while to grind out: it was a relief to get him done. He's a standard bearer for my Cadian Infantry.

The paint scheme is pretty standard, but he has a few little personalisations. The location of the unit, Star Ford, is a corruption of my suburb, Stafford.
The unit's motto, Tormento Pabulum, sounds suitably bombastic for the 40k universe unless you happen to know what it means. It translates to something like 'cannon fodder'.

And here he is, inspiring the aforementioned artillerists' banquet!

  1. That looks splendid Reverend. A suitably overwrought motto to be sure.

    1. Thanks, Suber. He does add some nice colour to a fairly bland group.
