Kill Team - Meet the Squad - The Catachan 18th 'Swamp Devils'

I have a few armies for Warhammer 40,000, most of which were collected many years ago. Some, like the Tyranids, I periodically add a few miniatures to. There are other factions in 40k that I really like but I do not have the time to collect a force for. With the release of Kill Team, I thought I would collect a unit of Catachans. The majority of the Catachan miniature range has been out for a very long time and their models are showing their age.
