Recently got all the unused parts from a friend's Blooded Kill Team, and having no use for a bunch of Bolt Action US bodies, I decided to make a Militia Recon Squad. I still have to find three more scopes to make three into Snipers and make some camo-cloaks, but the basics are down:

Good use of bits. Warlord's dudes are awfully 'heroic', so they've ended up with very wide shoulders. I wish GW would stop moulding the left hand onto the weapon stock, as it makes converting so much harder.

I do love that Lasgun design.

Most of the army uses the Kantrael or Galaxy patterns for Lasguns or whatever scrap I could find for Autoguns, so having the whole unit with the long Mars pattern makes them stand out from the rest of the force.

Of course, the capes and the fact that there are only 10 of them do that too, but who's counting?
