    Consider my pet peeved. They aren’t even “Aquilas”. Those are the double headed eagles. The winged skulls are known as Imperialis and they are a symbol that was adopted by the loyalist legions in the Horus Herasy as a badge representing their finality to the Emperor and Imperium. Astarte should wear them with pride and honor, not shave them off.

    I mean I don't wanna be mean but crusader squad offers exactly this and even a bit extra, for me templars in one of the few chapters with GREAT sculptures, and kits, crusaders, sword brethren and upgrade bits are some of the best things GW offers for marines, no way boring, you can go the extra mile with some conversions and kitbashing but tbh they're great, good pairing tho

Bucket helmets with captains having a fancy design would have looked great maybe add in units on horses to sub as outriders
