Warhammer 40k, Raehan Regulars
Tau or Marines were not my first collection. It was in fact the plastic Imperial Guard, box of 36; which I collected with officers, command squads and heavy weapons. Including two Leman Russ tanks, Chimeras and a Basilisk when I was 18 – 23.

(Small wonder I ended up in Graphic Design eventually.)
Below is a gallery of digital photos (A Casio Camera) taken in late 99′ and large images from around 2001-2. At the time these were state of the art digital photos and I was seriously happy to have the use of this camera given the trouble of posting images before.
I wrote an extensive history for this Regiment, the body of which can be read here [Link].
From 1995-2004 this was my main army to game with. Later I sold it onto a good friend in Canada when I needed some funds. He continues their traditions, adding them as a combined regiment to his own forces. Mike is one of the Founders of Astronomicon in Canada and my Raehanivs still see combat to this day alongside his 4th Danikans [Link]. (You can see two Raehaniv squads about the Sentinels on the title image).
There is a growing idea to recreate this Regiment again and have a modern remake of the Raehaniv Regulars. I still have many of the officer models and Sargeants, so it would be the trooper I would need to source again. Who knows? 🙂
- Sebastian,
Fantastic to see these chaps again – I remember them from a battle report, I’m fairly sure. Perhaps on thescythes.com?
Anyway, I’d love to see a resurgence of the Regulars, even if it’s just one or two (perhaps as part of an Inqisitorial retinue, given your forays into Inq28?). They’d be a great opportunity to apply the principles of updating classics that you’ve shown in your fantastic Warhammer Quest models.
Thanks man! Yah, I suspect a battle many moons ago with the Scythes, gosh makes it all seem like a historical war book. Thats a good idea with regard Inq28, to figure out initial ideas for the Regulars in a larger context. Tempted to raid Victoria Miniatures for some parts 🙂 Best focus on the goblin horde project then this eh? Project ADD and all haha 😀
Thanks for dropping by again man, good to get your input when you do.
