| Just saw all of that too. I love the painted version of Huron. And gee, I wonder what the giant Eldar project could be...  |

| I think the more exciting thing is that, from these shots, there doesn't seem to be a ton, if any, discernible chapter markings on these two! |

| Well, Witt, looks like Huron has the lion's head on the one shoulder pad, as well as the astral .... thing... on his banner. The librarian has the Red Scorpion's emblem on his left shoulder pad, and each of the guys have at least one spot with one as well, and of course the banner. One of the heads has a scorpion on the helmet also... But, yeah, mostly bare, so I guess it would be pretty easy to change it up!  _________________ I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

| Is the lions head an Astral Claws thing? I was thinking it'd be perfect for like, a Dark Angels character. |

Only in the sense that way back when, the Astral Claws were referred to as the Tiger Claws, and then sprucing up of background material meant a name that required a bit more use of brainpower. I would wager that they are making a nod to the big cat theme. Their original armor had a tiger on the right shoulder pad.
