Hello all,

I'm Momo, I've discovered this web community through googling: "awesome people who playes Warhammer 40k Dakka Dakka".

Something nice has arrived at my mail box from the UK...


I'm going forward with my plan on building a bio-hazard themed Imperial Guard army - Adepta Bionarium Task Force
The plan is to have all my troopers have their weapons upgraded with rifle scopes, laser-modules, shin-pads and some sort of backpack with a radio.

First two troopers built:


A communication trooper with night-vision / bio-vision goggles.


Sergeant number one:

Note: I remodelled the miniature so that instead of holding a silly las-pistol and a chainsaw the officer now holds a SMG with extra mags and an assault baton.

Sergeant number two:

In this one you can clearly see the baton in action

Company Commander:

Yep, I used a resistor.

Magnetised weapons for the sentinel:


Sentry heavy weapons (Inspired by modern warfare 2):


Things built so far~

First two troopers painted:


Painted Company Commander:


Painted Sentry Hv.Bolter:


Medic:


Painted Sentinel:


Sniper: (I didn't like the sniper rifle supplied in the sprue as there is this annoying camo cloak that I have to cut off - so I made a convertion out of a standard lasgun)


Grenade:


Here's another example why plastic kits are so awesome - scratch built Master of Ordnance:


Painted Company Command Squad:


Painted Master of Ordnance:


Painted Sniper:


Painted Medic:


Painted Sergeant:


Some extras - half-painted Grey Knights:



Comments?

They are looking very cool. I love the packs on your guys, it's a nice touch. The Pig Iron heads look great too

There are no words to describe how much I love your medic. And the fact that you used the capacitor made me grin. : )

Pictures are not showing up for me but it sounds cool. I will have a look when I get home to see if they display

a resistor for as defibrillator is genIus! love your work so far!
a bit of advice. the Sgt can't take lasguns now, only laspistols. i have quite a few i'm suppose to redo, but keep putting off. personally if you can get away with it i say go for it!

Excellent job so far. You can see the care each figure gets. The army is lucky to have a patient creator such as yourself. I would like to see more of your walkers. I am curious are you going for a clean look or perhaps a battle worn set up?

Wow, it was definately worth going home to see these

Some excellent conversions. And as an added bonus to me, I use the same pig iron heads for my IG

Great work - can't wait to see more.

Wait - are you the same Mo that did the Youtube tutorial on making Card tanks?

If so, freaking loved that video. And these Guard look awesome

Lol, yea... It's been a long way since that video. (I was young...now 18)

Anyway, more updates: (took these pictures a while ago)
The Leman Russ, it has two magnetised options (Vanquisher Cannon or Demolisher cannon):


Instead of having a guy mounting the 50 cal. it's automated as the theme of my guard army includes "super high tech" or something closer to the modern era.

Company Command Squad: Completed
Grey Knights (bodyguards proxy): Completed
Deciple Five (Storm Troopers): Completed
Butcher Six (Veteran Squad): Completed
Foxtrox Eight (Veteran Squad): Completed

Liking the stubber on your Demolisher/Vanquisher. I hve something similar planned for mine; also loving your use of a resistor for the medic.

Okay, I've finally managed to pick up my camera and take some more pictures:
