Victoria Miniatures Unleash Desert Scorpions On The Battlefield
March 12, 2020 by brennon
Victoria Miniatures has continued to build on their collection of alternative soldiers for the grimdark future with the Desert Scorpions Ten Man Squad. This new set gives you the basis for a new force, ready to take on the galaxy and its many, many, many threats.
First off, it would be pertinent to mention that these are a good fit for someone looking to expand their Astra Militarium/Imperial Guard force from Warhammer 40,000 to include some diverse and interesting regiments. I'm sure Cadians are hard as nails and they do look cool but sometimes you just need to mix it up! It should also be pointed out that Victoria Miniatures has not just a handful of alternative regiments for you to check out but thirteen.
Anyway, the kit gives you the chance to make ten soldiers armed with rifles and a few different special weapons for when the heat ramps up.
The kit has also been designed to be modular so you can mix and match the bodies, legs and arms in different ways to give you alternative looking soldiers if you decided to duplicate this squad across your whole army. In addition to that, the kit works with all of the other male components from the Victoria Miniatures range too so you can even add in some elements from other regiments if they take your fancy.
All of the models are available in resin and are incredibly well detailed as you can see above. I think with a dash of colour and a good wash, these would absolutely pop. They may be a little more on the expensive side but thankfully many Astra Militarum armies are made of armour as well as infantry so you don't have to shell out too much!
As someone who always loved seeing the alternative Imperial Guard regiments in White Dwarf, the Victoria Miniatures line-up is really cool and well worth diving into!
What do you make of this new squad?

Ooh they look fabulous.
I got one of their kangaroo’s and the details on the tank are brilliant an high quality.
I have ah bunch of there various regiments. I love the detail and variety. Used to pick up at least one every time I went to Adepticon!
Their minis are very, very nice. Not cheap but the quality is definitely there.
I’m a regular bitz buyer. Love their stuff.
Absolutely love the VM stuff.The latest purchase was a rummage through the range to make some Rough Riders ( i know they never made it into the Codex,but i still want to build some ).I’m still working on getting some Cold One mounts though.
