Number 5 out of 6 stormies for my Guard army. These guys are perhaps getting a little out of hand, but I am at least trying to make them look like they are doing stormtrooper-like things, rather than the standard running, shouting and pointing

The pin suspending the grenade is a little obvious, but I'm hoping it gets better when the pin is blacked up and shadowed by the door.

That's very cool; I like it a lot. However, I think it would be better suited to a diorama than a standard infantry model. I always find it funny when models are carrying around mini-diorama bases like this. It's just hard to imagine a stormtrooper carrying around a big metal blast door just so he can throw grenades behind it and look cool

Joking aside, this guy looks pretty sweet. What do you have in mind for painting?

This is the 41st millenium... suspensor technology my friend

Also they are stormtroopers and unlikely ever to see the light of play, unless I have a 200 point hole somewhere

Painting is likely to be a mixture of my Guard force standard camo for the fabric and probably another colour for the armour plates. I am wavering between simple black plates or something a bit more esoteric.

Looks good to me. I really like the overall idea of this.
