Here's a little something I slapped together out of some scraps I found, and I thought I'd share it as I'm looking at possibly putting a squad together (even though I don't collect guard lol). Without further ado....

...a bloke. With a shotgun.




Just need to remove mold lines, tidy it up a little, and GS the toe of the right boot.

Comments/suggestions welcome and appreciated ^^

Not too sure about the head, maybe if you cut off the pirate hat and put a helmet on. But overall looks decent.

Well the plan is to paint it up to try and make it look more like a boonie hat (the picture doesn't show it too wel but only the front is folded up) and see how it goes from there.

I like the hat. It's a bit over the top, but this IS Warhammer 40,000.

I did some similar stuff for my Inq. Retinue and it was a lot of fun.

I like it.... but its gonna look even better with some paint on it...

what colour scheme you planning on?

Not too sure at the moment, I was thinking some kind of camo for the cloth parts at least.

Depends what paints havent dried up I suppose

lol nothing like a russian roullete panting style

yea no joke...." WELL im gunna start painting these guys gree.... nope, nope thats dried. How bout SILV....er..... nope looks liiiiiiike. pink? awww MAN!"

also on a side note i love shotguns now in the new rules. they arnt usless. and are great against scouts or anything else really

Haha....

is this colour theory in action? i'll use these two colours together because they're both still liquid....

they should totally cover this is one of their painting guides... be interesting to see how the heavy metal guys would cope with only a blazing orange and warlock purple for company

And the pupil becomes the master


I suppose Shotguns will be handy against non-Power armoured opponents and luckily the only opponents are my mates imperial guard and my girlfriends Tau (ok, so shottys ARENT useful against battle suits, but by by blueys).


It's a toss up between urban camo, or the ol' inq red and black, black fatigues and red armour. Although I'm leaning more towards camo, I find it a pain in the ass to paint

If you have an Inquisitor then paint them to match, kind of like a household bodyguard uniform.

ARGG, comin aboard matee. I like it. Cant wait to see it painted
