Just bought some more guard for my army and was wondering if anyon might help me decide,1. what type of troops make them into 2.what i can do to chaos them up a bit and 3. possible tactics for the unit . I have another platoon worth converted up and im happy how they turned out but want to do somthing different with this lot.

one of the armies that caught my imagination was the Ironclad (see Henry Zou). As I recall they are.... well... iron clad, but quite an infantry heavy force.

I once got a kit together from all of my spare stuff, good for an entire army conversion, and I'm sad I got rid of it. I felt that one of the types of helmets produced by Wargames Factory lent itself well to the conversion.

Bloodpact is also another one to do. Iconic, but cool nontheless. Son's of sek might be cool too, but I don't fancy their delivery (they always came off as tzeetchesque, except, theyre actually khornate)

I've been tempted to do some Renegade Guard as well, Dipping into my CSM vehicle bis box and using those dragon-heads and using them as facemasks for officers and command squads.

whoa, 13 GBP? looks decent, but not exactly cheap.

Scottish highlander conversion pack. Any extra cadian legs youre left with..... well, your tank officers will be glad to be cut off at the waist and mounted on a pair of walking legs.....

Just did the math, looks like FW works out to be around $0.80 odd cheaper per model... I think you mmmmmmmmight get more use out of the scottish kit conversion wise (as mentioned, giving a tank officer a pair of legs..) Then again, dont know what FW's shipping rates are

Go back to FW and check the ehole renegade range of models... They're awesome!
