I scrounged up some bits and made this Heavy Bolter team. Took about 20 minutes of scrounging bits, 10 minutes to think it over and 30 minutes of construction time. I used the left arm originally meant for a grenade launcher dude. I want it to look like he is grasping a charging handle of some sort. Reminds me of my days shooting the 240B (A real crew served weapon!). I would have preferred a right handed charge, but that would take a lot of skill green stuff'n I haven't developed yet. I'll post the finished pics in the next couple days.

I really wanted to HWT that were oriented in the prone position. Now I'm happy.





CoC Welcome!

Nice idea, but you should (in my opinion) add some sandbags around the front to protect the crew. I'm sure you like the protection of the sandbags more that the comfort

Or add some shot down brick wall. Anyway I love already.

Okay, I add some more sand bags. You were right. There was something missing before. GOOD CALL! Don't worry, I still have to smooth out the GS.

aces... diorama HW teams are the only way to go

Cool, now that looks like a great gun pit

Got all the needs and wants to it. Plenty of protection and comfort =p. But on a serious note this looks great

Here is the basic paint scheme.







I'll try and get better pictures up soon. MY camera's flash was being weird.

That looks really good mate. . You could paint the sandbags, but you might be doing that right now

Yeah, I think I'll have to lighten the sand bags a little. I already painted them but I think I'm going to change it. The camera didn't capture the paint job very well.

It looks good but what's with the dude with the knife?

Shaving, maybe?

It was moment of creative weakness. I had to put something in his hand. lol.

I wanted to look like he was low crawling up the sand bags to get a better view.

But you maybe right. My army must maintain a clean appearance. Shave you maggot infested faces.

Gotta look good for dem tau specially when ur mowing them down
