Vespid #2! I have 5 done, I'll post all of them over the next while.

Fun fact : done during the heatwave like a doofus so the paint was going dry on my palette in no time lolol

Meanwhile astartes have enough options that I can really lean into my weird chapter idea: librarians with flamethrowers.

The sky turned amber as the shrine world burned from the fires of battle waged between the invading Tau forces and the Imperium's zealot defenders. Day and night no longer had any meaning. Warriors from both sides took little to no rest as respite from the war became scarce and scattered. On an unknown street in an insignificant sector of the world, a patrol of sisters from the Order of the Hallowed Hawthorn is ambushed and slaughtered with unparalleled precision by Fire Warriors of the Erra'kau Sept. As the sisters and repentia disembarked and returned fire, Vespid Stingwings came swooping from the choked skies and peppered them with shots from their neutron blasters. The more aggressive xenos, exchanged their air superiority in the attempt to kill the humans in close combat. The sisters screamed their prayers for the Emperor, hoping that their zealotry and hate for the xenos would please him one final time.
