Catachan Reinforcements
I have some Catachan reinforcements and these will be the last for a while.
These were from eBay and were a real mix of models. There were some weird configurations!

But were absolutely dirt cheap, and I couldn’t resist at the time.
Chris from the Unrelenting Brush painted them up for me.
I’m now up to 80~ Catachan Infantry which gives me a Brigade with ease. My Catachan Brigade comprises of a mix of the following…
HQs
- Straken
- Yarrick
- Primaris Psyker
- 3x Catachan Company Commanders
Again a decent selection. I can take Straken for orders and some melee goodness. Or take Company Commanders if I am tight on points.
Troops
- 60x Infantry
By far the hardest to do. I’ve already bitten off too much with my Valhallans. Hence why Chris did these for me.
Elites
- 2x Tech-Priests
- Platoon Commanders
- A Priest
- Ratlings
- Crusaders
This is the easiest to fill as there are so many none regimental choices. Which means I’ve gradually built up a decent selection of models here over the years.
I like to do models like these to break up the batch painting of Guardsmen.
I’ll be adding Harker to this list soon too. He gives re-roll of ones for Catachan to hit in the Shooting phase only. He’s a nice alternative to Yarrick for half the points. He’s not as good as Yarrick because Yarrick re-rolls all ones to hit (Shooting and Fight phase) for all Astra Militarum.
Fast Attack
- 3x Hellhounds
These are the only painted Fast Attack choices in my whole collection. I really need to do my Cadian Sentinels.
Heavy Support
- 3x Cyclops Demolition Vehicles
These are my only painted Catachan Heavy Support. I’d like to add some Forgeworld Artillery at some point in the future to this section.

That is 84 infantry models in total. Who needs Knight when you have 84 wounds this way?!
