I think you should get that praetorian some friends..he's fed up of drinking tea and eating cucumber sandwiches while hunting ospreys on his own methinks...
keep him as commander...and I might steal that different basing per unit idea...
how about this:
you get loads of other bits, and the heads really look the business:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Cadian_Shock_Troops/CADIAN-INFANTRY-SQUAD-WITH-RESPIRATORS-UPGRADE-PACK.html
plus you get a guy pulling a laspistol out of it's holster...kommissar konversion khance methinks? Automatically Appended Next Post:
are these guys cool...or are these guys cool?

-respirators would really make them look the part, and though not vital, would look really cool.
-the middle guy's belt- "you have half a pint in that canteen? I've got three."
-that midget...he's like that guy off pirates of the carribean:
register an account and send them your credit/debit card info.
BTW I really like the far-right one's helmet...

now i am seriosly pi...ed off by the inquisition... shrike so waht was you saying lastly? i think they did that on purpose to show whose boss...
no on to some picture update of some work i did and on some work ahead of me...well quite some work ahead that is...
i recently assambled and based and remodeled quite some few minis...
from warzone i built some models to go as german looking trenchers with a stand in commissar...
they were based with PVA glue and then littered with some dried milk flakes...these later where sprayed on with some mere water to melt on the base...
the effect should ake the base a muddy heap in parts...so is my hope...well, we´ll see...
Groupshot from above...part of a for now fully armyshow...
Stand in Commissar from warzone...question, is this a functioning commissar mini?
melted junklooking base of the sarge...does anyone know what line faction these minis are from?
then i did some serious conversion work on some not so heavy ugly catachan minis i got from ebay...these minis did a deep plunge into the bitsbox of mine and came up with helmets either on head or on their belts. some of them also received an armschange or two and got extra equip with pouches and holsters...
they will be the first in line to get a new scheme to blen into this army...
these are 18 catachans helmeted...and soon to be primed...all plastic ones...
these here are all metal and expept one all primed...
these here are their colored ugly counterparts soon to be stripped to get a new and shiny face for the victorian empire...
closeup of uglyness soon to be mended...avert thy eyes...
some last chancers... i will be doing some penals to go with those as i like the idea behind the penial legion...its what i would do if i was a general...
well here comes the rest of regular cadian minis...and command as it is for now... more to come when bits arrive...
my mordians,
the still WIP cadian platoon...
stormtrooper scouts...
my OOP cadian force minis with some additional weapons from the here and now...maybe if i can get some spare weapons from the OOP times i change them back...
and for now these count as special characters as long as i dont have enough minis from their lines to form entire platoons from them...
Praetorian Commander Reed, and yet to be named Tallarn Sargent and a Gunner from Vostroya...at least the latter will soon be getting some "Kislevh" musketeers to be added to him...
and a full army shot of what i have currently under command... note that the 3 heavy weapon teams still on sprue are apsent or the time being as they will be getting the treatment later...
so did you liked it?
C&C welcome as always...
vik, in command
