I've done a few guard armies in my time in the hobby but now i'm thinking of tackling a fully converted (ie. every model) army.
I've decided to base it around the characters and forces from metal gear solid 4, and am just trying to start a bit of a think tank as to what units should represent what.

Here's my tentative list so far:
Inquisitor Lord: Big Boss

Company Commander: Liquid Ocelot

Sly Marbo: Old Snake

Veteran Squads: PMC squads

Stormtrooper Squads: Haven trooper squads

Sentinels: Gekko

Chimeras: Stryker APCs


That's all I've got so far. Looking for some more ideas so if you've got any, spit 'em out

cheers

My suggestion would be that for Snake and the Haven trooper squads, you use eldar guardian legs and bodies (for those high-tech looking bodygloves), catachan arms, greenstuffed heads, and then add gear to make them look like actual soldiers. Kinda like this:




or this:



Oh and if you get really ambitious, you could do a Metal Gear Rex as a Titan. That would be awsome.

I've often thought of making a solid snake-esque marbo... thank you for realizing my dream... now dont screw it up!

not to mention a shagohod baneblade

or metal gear titans...

only because its necessary...

@Rocketeer: That first picture...are those fremen? Got more of those guys?

i love this idea
im guesing that you have a PS3 (add my ps3 its in my sig)
are you going to try and make the frogs have p90's??

another idea I just had:

Leman Russ Vanquisher: Metal Gear Rex
-Vanquisher cannon= railgun
-Sponson heavy bolters= 2 vulcan cannons
-Lascannon= Free electron laser

What do you think? Any WYSIWYG issues with representing a tank as a walker?

dont think so
but sounds good
