These look great! Some of the bitz combos you have successfully used also help me with some projects I have been planning

Command Squad and Killteam sniper. Two different sets of legs, Catachan running legs and Catachan heavy weapons squad kneeling legs. Cut the front running leg off under the belt to fit the kneeling leg in more seemlessly than a straight half and half cut and stick. Cadian respirator squad upgrade kit head and backpack with the Catachan command squad sniper arms and weapon. Quite a complex kitbash/conversion for me so really pleased with how he came out.

Great work so far!



The secret to painting a really big army is to keep at it. You can't reach your destination if you never take any steps.

I build IG...lots and lots of IG.

Excellent work! I once converted up an army in a similar way, except with Catachan heads instead of arms. Cutting the belts off the torsos is an oddly satisfying task.

The greenstuffed shoulder pads look great and really tie the flak armour to the bare arms, and the paint scheme is simple and effective. Just ace all around.

Command Squad Specialist. Lost both arms in a plasmagun incident but was too good a marksman to submit to the servitor programme. Tech priests provided new bionics and reassigned him to the Command Squad

Thanks. The basic Walker chassis can be used for a range of artillery, tanks, troop transports, and support vehicles. The idea is that it is a remnant of STC technology where standard parts are assembled to meet the needs of a particular world or environment

The 142nd Mistral Rangers, seconded to the group of Inquisitors known as the Sigilite Precept, operate within the Imperium Nihilus recovering important relics and data. This takes its toll on the Regiments troopers but even the most severely injured can continue to serve as heavily augmented shock troops. They are formed into brute squads for heavy close quarters fighting.

Medication and combat drugs dull the minds of these augmented shock troopers but they make an effected Brute Squad none the less

Holy shivbugs that build is cool. The background is also sinister and oh so endearingly Inquisitional.

Guardsmen looking great, mate, excellent kitbashing and painting and I love that Roughrider and heavy walker!

Brilliant conversion work - I especially love the Wyvern cannon turtle - sits in a very satisfying Zoids, Empire Strikes Back kinda vibe. Keep up the great stuff!
