Sturmtruppen were designed to operate separately from normal infantry lines, striking at predetermined weak spots in the opponents' defensive line. They were meant to bypass some strongpoints to strike at the rear objectives, forcing the defenders to choose between repelling the raiders or bracing for the wave of normal infantry following the advance.
In 40k, I think the storm troopers imitate this tactic well. With deepstrike and low AP hot-shots, they can really wreak some havoc in an opponents back-fifty.
These here still need basing and a matte finish, but other than that I am done with them for now. On to the other projects!
Looking good. I love those models - mainly the ones with their masks down, but just can't stomach the cost of them these days...
