Am attempting to build a unit of these (will count as Storm Troopers) and if all goes well I may expand to (another!) full guard army. The last of my bitz should arrive today so the plan is...

use a cadian body with these drop packs (yeah i know they dont look like Harakoni ones but i prefer them):

with these guns:

and these heads:

and a bit of greenstuffing here and there.

Reckon it'll work? gonna build the first couple tonight.

**Xanthos**

Looks very interesting. I´m looking forward to seeing what you make of this.

**sleazy**

cheers.

Actually, does anyone have any idea what colour they should be?

**Valhallan42nd**

Harakoni are well equipped, elite soldiers. I'd decide which warzone they're dropping into, and paint based on that. Use either modern military or the codex as a guide. Where does one find the pulse rifle, is my question...

Harakoni Warhawks have black fatigues with sand-colored body armor according to the IG codex.

IIRC, that also had a note suggesting that those were dress fatigues.

**sleazy**

yeah the pulse rifles are hasslefree. perfect name for the company too as i recieved them next day and they sent me some extra sprues and even some fruit salad chews in the package!

Does anyone know how to do modern British desert style camo?

**CrimsonTurkey**

I've seen urban warhawks in grey camo with dark blue armour before. That was pretty spiffy looking. The blue wasn't so out of place that it looked rediculous, but it also kept them from being so well camoflagued in cityfight table that the owner would lose a few on the table at the end of the day.

**Grand Preceptor**

I am also digging your selection of components. Please post pics once you've got some modelled up!

**sleazy**

update, I put some together last night, heres the pics so far. need a bit of cleaning up and I'm gonna try sculpting extra armour plates on one. My sculpting skills are limited tho so we'll see if I can manage.

**CplPunishment**

That's pretty sweet
My only suggestion is to annihilate those mold lines

**sleazy**

oh yeah i'm aware of the mold lines

**model collector**

where are the backpaacks from?

**grey_death**

my friend, you hit it right on the money.

Time to see some of those painted ^_^!

**sleazy**

thanks grey_death. I'll try one tonight. painting guard & drinking beer whilst watching Smackdown, great way to relax.

the backpacks are from hasslefree.

**Cruentus**

Nice. Any chance of seeing the pulse rifle armed models close up? I'm wanting to do something similar but with necro autoguns, and I'd like to see how you handled the arms with plastic lasguns already attached.

Thanks and nice work!

thanks for the camo guide, I went with something else but have noted the colours for future projects.

I have painted one of them as a test piece, I like the scheme and reckon I'll do the whole squad. I've had to make another couple of troopers as I hadnt thought that storm troopers cant have a missle launcher!

**Death By Monkeys**

Excellent stuff - the Pulse Rifles look a little small to me, and I was afraid the jump packs would looks small on the Cadians, too - but I'm totally impressed - the jump packs look just the right size. Man, screw the Forge World Elysian packs for what they cost...I'm getting me some of them for my grav chutes!

**bbb**

looks great. how easy was it to use those rifles? can you take some more pics, because i'd love to see some more angles

**sleazy**

rifles are a little small i found it best to clip off the stock and use the lasgun stock moulded to the cadian arm, gives it a bit more length.

I suppose carbine type gun should be shorter than a standard rifle so it kinda suits the elite look I'm going for.

heres a comparison pic

**Battlekai**

I love these mate.

Keep up the good work

**Xanthos**

Really good job on the painting, loving the look of these guys!

I love this model, I am looking for a similar scheme. What colours did you use? I know this is years old, hopefully someone can still help
