standard GW guard command squad comes with rebreathers.

Thanks straight silver I'll see if I can get some bitz to try out for size.

I just finished my tenth female disciple, nine shotguns one lasgun. It's pretty hard work cutting positioning and gluing to make them look right. Two will need redoing. Rest will need lots of green stuff to cover gaps and marks. Definitely not doing many more of those female rifle postures lol. Males will be easy as I'll just use the whole scion arms, will distinguish the genders more on the table top. As for the rest of the females I will only do two weapon posture with the eisenkern command kit as its way more flexible in positioning. Pictures incoming soon tell me what you think. By the way I had an accident with some superglue that I'd pooled on one of the torso neck parts so when I put them away I got a white crust over all the models where my fingers had touched them. Tried to clean it away with a soft toothbrush but it didn't go away, hope it won't affect the base coat. Hasn't ruined the texture just don't want the paint to later flake off! Will have another go with the toothbrush and water later on.

Zogmob thanks for the tip will check bitz store for those also!

I got mould lines to remove, hair to adjust and elf ears to snip still... but here is my progress so far:



I also got the go-ahead to be able to use them in my local Games Workshop store despite them being roughly 50% eisenkern due to the legs, backplate (and arms on females).

In a rush sorry picture is blurred, really got to squeeze my time to be able to work on this project. Larger picture clicks below.

Do you all think the new Slaughterpriest would work with a Scion Torso and Scion arms or is the Slaughterpriest a bit too big for that? Thinking it would make a great Khorne Bloody Handed Reaver Demagogue (the waist down on the Slaughterpriest looks like it would suit the scion kit well)



I will have him with powerfist and shotgun like my other arch demagogues will have.

Also this helmet would go well on a Khorne Arch Demagogue Bloody Handed Reaver? With or without the Slaughterpriest legs if they're too large...

The male eisenkern legs are slightly smaller than the female! I will upload pics soon... Makes my plan a bit more difficult as they don't look right with the scion torso and arms...

I think for the bloody handed demagogue, the other mini may be better as the slaughterpriest legs seem a little large. However, the slaughterpriest could still be used, if you gave it some large pauldrons, like those from the chaos forsaken kit or chaos knights

Just my cup of tea! Loving your progress, i've been watching from the sidelines from some time now

Cheers!

Here are the guys... I think the arms need alot of modification, they just look out of proportion don't they? (and they are smaller stood next to the girls - maybe its because they have helmets? But the legs are definately smaller)

Update:

Enforcer with two plasma pistols!



Greenstuff is a bit messy as usual, but I've cleaned it up already. Mould lines and ears not done yet, but what do you all think? Does the posture work? I ran out of female eisenkern backpieces so its got the male one, looks a bit androgynous/slaaneshy? I think the dual plasma pistols worked though. Loving the eisenkern accessories kit.

*edit* Added the other enforcers with dual plasma pistols (:

"It takes two to tango..."

Trying out these head sizes for scale; from the zombie apocalypse survivors kit... they're a tad small but what do you think? Sorry for the low quality pictures. I bought the zombie apocalypse survivors kit more for the arms and possibly bodies to kit out a mutant rabble as the general population joining in the fight alongside the infantry, but I don't think it will work. Waiting to try the empire greatswords heads for scale purposes later once I grab that kit. I decided the scion helmets are too bulky and need a replacement or to have all heads uncovered, but if I use non-GW parts I'll probably not be able to use them in GW stores.

Some of those heads seem way off compared to the daemonette and dark eldar heads. I'll definately be swapping them onto whatever I use for mutant rabbles.

Thinking of maybe bloodreaver heads for the male scions, but scale issues again and its an expensive kit just for heads.

In the mean time here are my melta gunners so far... I'll be swapping their heads to male versions, even though they look cool with the daemonette heads!

Hi guys another update:
Trying to create some 'mutant rabble' by making them look less armoured than the regular troops and more like civilians throwing some gear on and joining the fight... but also to match the aesthetic of the rest of the army.

Here is my first effort... do the eisenkern legs look too big on the torso/arms?

The legs look fine, but the arms look a little thin.

Loving this project though.

I think it looks fine. The one issue I have with this army thus far is the lack of chaosness. It just kinda looks like a guard force IMO, although we haven't seen any painted yet.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm glad you don't think they look chaosy -yet

I had the covered arm wielding the blade glued a bit too low so I've adjusted that to be the correct height relative to the uncovered arm. I think with slightly shorter/smaller legs it might just work but usually games workshop legs are just too chunky unless it is elves, but none of the elf kits seem to fit the aesthetic, I'll show you one with dark eldar legs later today.

I really need some help on something that might help the proportions look better on these mutant rabbles, could you identify these legs? Were they once produced by gamesworkshop/forgeworld?

They are resin Renegade legs I think based on Google searching.

They were described as such but I cannot find any information about them on forgeworlds website. So I don't know if they're an OOP forgeworld product or an indie company that made legs to fit with the renegades model line on forgeworld...

They're in some FW recaster catalogues, so at a guess, FW but brief.

Very few companies are similarly bootlegged.

Updated the heads of some of my regular troops to be a better scale and also to be games workshop official.

Also testing out some concepts for 'Mutant Rabble' now they look a bit menacing don't they?!

Well that's friggin epic!

Here is another update:

My normal regular troops on a 32mm base. Yes people will object to that so not sure I will do it, but I think it frames the models well. Helmets are from the Empire Greatswords kit, but with only two per kit these two will have to be special snowflakes. The rest of my troops with helmets will use Vanguard style, or Sabbat depending on which I can get alot of. Waiting to see if they'll look good on the Scion/Eisenkern torso though.



Here are my 'Mutant Rabble' troopers... the first four have Daemonette/Zombie Apocalypse Survivor heads because I ran out of Iron Masks, which I have ordered more of from bitz stores. Hope you like them as much as I do. Scale-wise they almost a foot shorter than the regular troops, and with their posture give a stark contrast to the regular troops, not to mention their unorthodox melee weapons and attire.













Here are some 'Mutant Rabble' Champions... without heads! I ran out of the Iron Mask style ones and didn't prepare any heads for demonstration. They are hauling around some melta bombs, but I'll have to change the left arm to be similar to Eisenkern style too because at the moment they look a bit A-symmetrical.

Loving the sallets!

I hope you like these then!

Here are my Renegade Troopers with shiny new head gear One is lugging around a melta bomb.

They really work, nice job. Wear did you get the shotguns?

Thanks, they're from the Legion Recon Squad (forgeworld)

Awesome!

A few more additions from the work bench. Included are three troopers with grenade launchers (uncompetitive I know), one champion with melta bomb, three regular troopers with las pistols AND a trooper holding a sigil of chaos, somewhat revealing their chaotic allegiance.

Those are large bases...

Those are the eisenkern bases, they come with a hole that a small peg on the eisenkern legs slots into, which holds them up without glue. They're just for demonstrative purposes until the models are finished then they will go on the correct size base

Second trooper with Chaos Sigil... Not sure whether to trim the daemonette hand index finger down or not?





Two out of three of these done now, trying to up my pace because I've got so much to do. Do they look okay being slanted instead of directly upright?

I think they look great slanted!
