Hi guys,

I'm making a bunch of modular Guard figures equipped for night ops. I see them as relatively lightly armed compared to other regiments. They'll still have mobile support units, but am probably going to work out a list with no tanks. Still lots of ideas floating around and am going to start refining the units over the next few days.

In the mean time I've put together a test figure. Equipped with night vision and a bulpup Las-carbine.

Head and arms are separate to allow posing.

Sized to fit with plastic guard. All the metal parts are sculpted by me and cast by me too









Cheers

Holy crap, that's some impressive GS work. I'm really digging the look, although I do feel that the rifle looks a tad weedy.

Cheers,

I might put a handle on the carbine, but I really wanted to keep it slim line

I agree. Needs more dakka.

I think upping the length would help a bit. You can still keep it streamline but this just looks like he's walking around with a small NERF gun.

Righto, leave it with me

Wow.

Great GreenStuffing. Always wanted to do something like this, made the positives and everything just couldn't get it to cast properly.

I like the las-carbine design a lot, though I do think an extension of the flash suppressor wouldn't hurt. Were you basing it off of any particular modern firearm?

Cheers,

The design was inspired by a whole bunch of modern rifles. I took bits from here and there. Its difficult to keep a Lasgun look when working with modern slimline designs. Ive a few ideas to add more "dakka"

Very cool!can't wait to see this bad boy painted

Amended the Las-carbine to give it more bulk




Cheers

Adam

IG wearing SM helmet? (but nice! does the guardsman uses bullpup lasgun?)

I absolutely love your sculpt... and will be following this thread avidly...
when your done casting maybe yoy could sell me 20 of them for my army... they would fit right in...

Have seen it in the BOLS facebook page. Great model sir.

These are stunning! I really like the second model's lasgun design. Watching this closely. Very Subscribed.

The new, bulked-up Las-Carbine is a vast improvement. Looks great!

Very cool.

Work continues! Hoping to have some ready for casting by the end of the week.

Planning the heavy weapon teams at the moment.

A sneak peek of some below.

The heads are separate to allow posing and the arms are modular and all pairs fit all any body.

Hi Guys,

I've got another trooper done and also the squad leader. I'll do a set of arms with pistol and sword option too.

Also worked on the a missile launcher, just need another "crew member" to carry the ammo. Gone for more of an RPG look on this. Still a little more work to do on this though.






And the unit as it stands.

Wow they are awesome! The second bulkier look on the guns works much better. Loving the rpg too.

Cheers, Really pleased with how they're coming together actually.

Lots more to come in the next few days.

For those interested, updates will now be posted here:
