OK, so I thought maybe a 400 point traitorous trenchguard aukiliary force (TTAF) would be a good idea as a standalone combat patrol army or as an allied force for my 1K sons, so to do this, I would use the following recipe:
Imperial Guard Cadian torso and gun arms
High Elf Archer robes
Pig Iron Kolony Rebel Winter heads

The idea for the HE robes came from my local GW, where a guy had done a sizeable army like this (with no less than FOUR superheavies) except without the PI heads, For anyone who doesn't know what the heads in question are like, look http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/order.htm#m
I'm also considering using the HQ pack as my command squad, also the packs and pouches would be good as fluffwise they would range ahead of the main force, building rudimentary trenches and barricades.

The colour scheme would be German-style grey with some blue to keep the 1K sons theme
(Unfortunately, the scheme described in my sig is too Khornate)

So what do you think?

I've been pondering something similar lately, so I look forward to seeing how it goes. Something that I noticed recently in ph34r's thread here (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/226992.page) is the greenstuff cuffs on the coats. That looks incredible effective to me, and simple to boot. Can't wait to see some test models.

i like it
i'm currently ripping apart my unpainted plastic cadians & utting those heads & some from MaxiMini (http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php) to create a Vraks army that can also count as an IG army teetering on the brink.
The main colour will be ochre (using Iyanden Darksun) with red hoods (using Mechrite Red) & shaded with Develan Mud. Should be quick & easy (famous last words)!

BTW, this thread probably won't contain any pics as I don't have most of the stuff I need yet , When I do I'll bring this thread back, when I do this, these PI guys are too cool to pass up as my command squad

Hmmm..

Ted at the minute your going like a train. Goblins and orcs, this, the homemade gamesystem and other odd projects. Doesn't doing all that daunt you, I have a SM battleforce on my desk and it scares me!!!

like it and it would be good DCOK (death corps of kreik)

You mean DKOK? Death Korp of Krieg. Or are you deliberately trying to make a new thing?


Frankly once my brother leaves for college I am going to place and order for 3 squads of Pig Iron Infantry and a HQ. Maybe a tank or 3.
