72nd Shadow Highland Rifles

So have finially got around to starting doing the Guard block for Y Geiriadur. These units are from the 72nd Shadow Highland Rifles, the above squad is the first one I've started to paint, a world that had fallen through the cracks in the Administratum and hadne't had any contact from The Imperium for over 1800 years when from out of The Black a small trader found a badly damaged Marine warship, sending out a hail they got a tug to bring the ship in system, and started trying to hail the Marine vessel to let them know they where going to tow them back in system. The Marines themselves where rather unforthcoming on where they had come from, asking first what the year was and would only refer to themselves as Y Geiriadur. Y Geiriadur took it upon themselves to train the local army units to a higher standard and improved their weapons as well. Currently Shadow has sent a probe ship out into The Black trying to regain contact with the wider Imperium.
