Asuras are ALEPH’s elite, some of the finest Heavy Infantry in the Sphere. They use modified Boddhishatva model bodies: military grade state-of-the-art Lhosts, protected by highly absorbent subdermal armor-plates. They can carry out long campaigns without resting and never show fatigue. Magnificently prepared and highly qualified, Asuras are the best of the best, a superior category of special operatives. Their missions are the greatest challenges, the most severe and intensive operations, and the most dangerous threats.
They are the perfect infantry, killing and dying without hesitation, like a sublime incarnation of the most pure and heartless arithmetic.
The Asura! Rightly feared on the tables, and one very cool model.
This was the model that got me to buy into Aleph, despite being the bitter enemy of the Nomads. It's just a very cool pose that perfectly captures the cold menace of the AI. I painted her with a sinister black and orange scheme, contrasted by the ice white face to show the lack of humanity there.
Not a lot of Aleph is getting painted as I wait for the next book, but it's fun to paint one up now and again.
As for my other armies I did buy a TAG, so more on that soon...
