http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/560852.page

But more importantly!

Imperial Guard Stormtroopeer with Meltagun.

Uses:
Sprues
Wood Elf Glade Guard Leg, Hood With Mask
Cadian Shock Trooper Torso, flamer
oop Dark Elf Warriors, arm, shield

not All Storm Troopers take the deep strike option.
Possibly a Grenadier type of Storm Trooper?

Should I put a pistol on him? He has it in his war gear...
Melta gun is a flamer conversion just shift the wiring forward after you clip off the underside

Watchas think?

Man the flash is flashy in those pics... oh well.

Need to chose heads.

Though seriously what type of head should I put on the sergeant? Wood Elf, Cadian? I have empty Cadian helmets so I can combine the two... I don't want to use Dark Elf heads or Britonians

[Thumb - CAM00321.jpg]
2 sergeants... no idea what to 2 with the helmetless lasgunners.

[Thumb - CAM00320.jpg]
They need heads O_o

Was going to be a heavy weapon girl, but then realized no laspistols... Promotions!

So Green stuff it is useful. Nothing new just finished things that needed finishing.

After all a MoO has gear to help him out so a binocular just wont cut it!
And An OoF is communicating with Space Ships so he's going to need a good piece of communication equipment... I think I did both justice.

Dark Elf heads for Flamers, Glade Guard for Grenade Launcher

Gah, blood claimed from a Lascannon heavy weapon team.

So yeah... if I'm going to only have 1 person on heavy weapons... and I'm using sentinels Lascannons, I'll have them on a M.U.L.E. type vehicle. It worked for Recoiless Rifles in our wars so it'll work on big guns later on!

And thats how I got 4 Lascannon M.U.L.E.'s plus gunner. Those things are large enough that I don't think you can argue I'm modeling for advantage! I think their large enough to be even more of a traget actually...

Then theres the mortar 'team'- I envisioned a point where the natural choice would be to stop shooting the mortar and afix bayonets.

I may use that as a recouring theme for my heavy weapon teams as an excuse for them not to be set up as you would typically expect.
2 of my Lascannoniers have grenades ready in the hand not aiming the gun, one is bringing their lasgun to bear, the other one has their lasgun in their hand....

If I do get Al in an infantry platoon having M.U.L.E.'s might help move all those heavy guns.
