Thx Elazaar, you should just go for it. Its the only way we will get them. Lol.

Here come the girls.

I can think of has ever made weapons just for females. So the girls gotta man up.

Nah. We just do the sensible thing and leave them out of the infantry.

Of course, M-16s are relatively light and wieldable compared to 40K's monstrous lasguns. Not a criticism by any means obviously. I like what you've done with them. The more realistic scale of the Hasslefree figs really just accentuates the heroic scale weapons of 40K.

We still keep them out of the infantry at the moment but in 38000 yeas time...lol.
But your right hassle free make a lovely fig where as 40 k tend to be a bit bulky. But I'm pleased with the overall effect.
Better than heads on troopers.!!

I think it's cool what you are doing, but i can't help but chuckle at the girls with the flamers and grenade launchers... Can't imagine what they would look like with bigger weapons like missile launchers or deffgunz.

actually the weapons on the smaller figures that are female do make it realistic so the comical "big guns" are very right. good job keep it up. love to see some paint on these ladies.

Thx Alabsma , just under coated them and now ready to paint.

Just recieved a load of kit from maximini. Miniguns, snipers rifles, backpacks etc. So I can add some female snipers to the company.
Post pics of painted ladies soon. (that dont sound right).

wow those are some fantastic minis how did you get the five o clock shadow on the sgt?

Thx Alabama.
Once the face was finished.
I lightly stippled the beard area with chaos black.
Then lightly washed beard area with reikland flesh.
I then spot wash with badab black to deepen creases etc.
Finish by high lighting any raised areas with flesh of choice.

3rd squad. Female.

YES. This is what female guards..men.. should look like!

Excellent work on the males and the females - love the camo and the size of the female models works really well (even with the over large cadian weapons - I wonder how they would match up with Death Korp or Elysian weapons).

Very impressed - keep it up!

Thx Laney.

I think the female frame would get lost with death korps. But with Elysian they would probably be very well suited, even more so than the regular guard.

Great job keeping the minis realistic (besides huge guns) and not OTT like some other femguard. 8/10!

Really really impressive conversions. These are easily the best female guard ever seen. Spot on.

Loving your work. Keep it going (subbed)
