Hi all,

here's my take on the PBS. I used ash waste nomads from necromunda as base. The models come without hands, so I used staffs, open hands and laspistols to make them look like psykers. The minder will be remade in time since I'm not 100% happy with it, but I feel I'm on the right track with the medic head from the Catachan command box.

Since they don't carry the Scholastica Psykana staffs and symbols, I painted them in inquisitorial colours and added 'I's to their staffs to make them look sanctioned.

Anyway, enough rambling, here's the pics:

And a bit blurry (he's obviously preparing to use a power which makes the air shimmer )

That's an ace idea. It's good to see some original ideas for PBS man. Good job!

They look great, now I just wish I had a bunch of hard to find ash waste nomads laying around...

Awesome models you've got there!

Very cool - I was thinking of trying to find some Cawdors for PBS troops, but Ash Waste Nomads are very nice in the role! Excellent!

Thanks all! The main advantage of these guys are the heads. Plenty of hoods, rebreathers to tech them up... Also, since they're already situated in the 40K universe, there's no need to 40K-ify them; the main problem with using flaggies. And since they come without hands (the set contains hands with weapons on separate sprues), adding staffs and such is real easy.

The Commissar: I got lucky and found a few when a shop nearby closed down. I didn't have any idea what to do with them at the time (current codex wasn't even being talked about), and bought them on an impulse. It also means I'll only ever have one PBS, since I doubt I'll be able to get hold of a second box. My opponents will rejoice! . I've got 3 models left over (12 in a box), but they're carrying sniper rifles and an autogun, so I don't really have a use for them right now. Maybe as a vindicare or something.

Death by Monkeys: I considered cawdor, but the masks threw me off, and the guns are often molded to the bodies. Have you considered the old wyrd minis from necromunda? they're psykers to begin with, but may look a tad undisciplined.
