Well, here they are finally: my Steel Legion troopers themselves. The force was 300+ strong. Every conceivable troop combination was possible. I used almost no washes in this force. Everything was shaded by hand.
The old model range was all metal and contained no flamer, melta guns or autocannons. I had to do a lot of conversions to assemble a force with those weapons. It was long, arduous and in some cases physically painful (filing and drilling...sometimes drilling myself).
There is little else for me to say here. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Steel Legion range had no flamer equipped troops. I had to improvise and custom build models.

...again, the Steel Legion range had no Melta guns. Custom building was required.

This completes my tribute to my old Regiment. Hopefully they are winning battles for the Emperor...somewhere.
