I've played Chaos for a number of years and with all these chaos cultists laying around I've been keen on making a traitor IG army. With the release of the new Astra Militarum codex I decided to move forward with the project. I was looking for a cheap tank popping unit in the heavy support slot and found the rules for the Imperial Guard Rapier Battery on the Forgeworld site in the download section. Bummer is they are almost $40 USD each from Forgeworld.

Luckily I traded for this bit from a guy at my LGS:


With my bits box, some plasticard, green stuff, and instant mold I was able to come up with this:

Other side:


Pretty easy to make and saved me about $35 per battery. I doubt I'd be able to use them at a GW event, but I don't go to those anyway =)
I welcome any comments and suggestions.
Thanks for looking!

*Will post the finish painted battery in the showcase when they're completed.
