I've been thinking about this for a while. Because the Scout from Team Fortress 2 is one my favorite characters from any game, I've been thinking of converting different miniatures into the different characters from TF2.

Scout - Scout (obviously! ) I think I'd make the bat from a sprue and some green stuff. But I need to find a head with a baseball cap.

Heavy - Most likely a marine with a heavy bolter. I could use one of the stock bald-head marines, but the torso needs to have a bit of a belly. Maybe paint some Soviet symbols on him.

Sniper - Scout with sniper rifle. I'd need a cowboy hat, and some sunglasses.

Soldier - A Marine with a missile launcher. Maybe I could find a WWII miniature and use the head.

Medic- I guess I could use an apothecary, or use a Dark Angels robe and make it into a lab coat.

Pyro- (I'm not an IG player so bare with me..) use the head from the IG unit with the gas mask. Give him a flamer.

Engineer - A techmarine I suppose, with a hard hat and some overalls!

Demoman- Not sure who he should be

Spy - This is the toughest one, I don't know who he fits in closely with. I suppose a scout with camo cloak, but how do I give him the business suit look?



BONK!! ~ Scout's bat counts as a power weapon
Force-a-freakin-naycha ~ Scout has fleet rule

How would you make a TF2 army?

Using orks.

I love it! Haha. I always feel like I have a good idea, but then come to find out later someone has already done and I feel like a big copy-cat! :(

IG.
I'd make a kill-team using Vet rules and USRs to represent certain OTT elements.
Most of them are easy.
Grenade launcher-Demoman
Heavy bolter-Heavy + relentless (Ogryn bits)
Flamer-Pyro (use DKoK bits)
Missile launcher-Soldier
Sniper-Sniper
Spy and Scout would be harder but i think it would be possible to convert...
Spy-Stealth, power weapon
Scout-Fleet, shotgun.
Medic-Lasgun, Feel no pain
Engineer-Shotgun, Vox caster.

And make them an Apoc formation

If I was fielding a TF2 army in a game I'd have my iPhone blaring this the whole game:
