Shadow War Auxiliaries
|I’ve been quite elated to see Warhammer 40K Second Edition make something of a comeback via Shadow War : Armageddon. The Necromunda Lite version is entertaining and I have enjoyed seeing a whole new generation of gamers experience what made skirmish gaming engaging and memorable or these years later for me.
So in this light, I’ve begun making some Pathfinders and a couple of Auxiliary to go with them for some flavour:
Naga’la LixΕ, an accomplished auxiliary scout seconded to the counter insurgency team. Wearing a mix of Tau and Naga wargear, she is a valued member and sly fighter.
I’ll be adding some Greenstuff finishings about the shoulders and tail.
Muste’la Snax is another example of integrated auxiliary success.
His diminutive size allows certain infiltration advantages, including the fact, everything provides him cover. He uses a Pulse Blaster, modded for range, however his rather ‘exuberant’ appreciation of accuracy reduces the effectiveness. Regardless, field skills and supply traits, such as ‘acquiring’ unlimited ration wafers for the team, more than makes up for abnormal gunplay.
So yes, I did indeed go there – Rocket Raccoon, but I’m more a mind for Firewarror Ferret π
Always great to see minor aliens working with the Tau, and these two are great!
Thanks LP π Looking forward to getting a chance to paint them next π
Great conversions, as always! I always enjoy playing “spot the bit” on your conversions. I really like how you handled the Naga torso, inspired kitbashing!
Haha thanks Modhail – I do enjoy being as subtle as possible π
Rocket Raccoon/Firewarror Ferret -> Rocket Rat
Oooh, liking that one π
What is the Naga’s head from?
It’s actually old 6th edition Saurus Head with some additional skull shaping completed with Greenstuff. π

Lixo I mean. The fully-helmeted one.
Oh sorry I’m being daft. Its from the Leader for Terrodactyl Lizardman Skink Flyers. Some nice accessories in that set. Sorry for the confusion Rowan. π
No prob. Thanks for the info.
