My converted Female Commissar. The original model came with a power sword and laspistol. The bolt pistol is magnetized to accept a plasma pistol gun swap (unfortunately, the plasma pistol is unpainted)

Mine aren't as good as Slann's, but I won a prize for best in show at the local tourney for them:

There is so much cool stuff in this thread...

Some of mine, not the best so please be gentle!:

Great minis so far! Here's a couple of my converted manticore and a random sergeant.
Sorry for the quality of the pics but I lost my digital camera cord so I have to make due with my phone

I'm still trying to decide how to paint the manticore, hence the lack of paint

**FoxPhoenix135**

Lol, taking pictures of your minis in the grass is pure win.

**physcosamatic**

I like that model, what is he? Did you scratch build the helmet on the ground or is it guard?

Its the astropath model from the Regimental Advisors blister.(with a nice paintjob) And that looks like a spare helmet off the basic Guard infantry sprue thats on the ground.

NEEDS MORE CATACHAN!

seriously though, all these models been posted look great and are a great inspiration

**Cadian**

some awesome stuff here guys! Really inspired to keep going with my guard. In the past three weeks I've built up quite a force myself. I think it's around 4k points starting from not having a single guard figure in my collection. I don't have pics of the entire army yet, but I will take some. Here are some pics of my last tank built, I'm just about finished the executioner myself, but here's the punisher:

The cammo netting is only on there for positioning, not the final use, I opted for not using it after all!

**Miss Dee**

Question why do GW do female minis and make them look like tarts?

**slice of toast**

Because that's what male gamers are expected to buy?

Seriously, some great work in this thread!

@Cadian - Really nice work on the punisher... is the right HB sponson supposed to be upside down though?

o god thats funny
kinda a shout out to the box it came in right?

**Oppenheimer**

i was saving these for a p&m blog i was going to start but whats the harm in throwing them up here first. these are the first of the ones that have gs backpacks.

**FoxPhoenix135**

So how are the GS packs coming for those, oppenheimer?

**Oppenheimer**

well fox, i got my first squad all done and painted. i got the packs done on my pcs, and im working on painting them all up. on 100+ more gs backpacks to make. its actually a lot easier than i thought i would be.

I am interested to see if anyone has any Gue'vasa (Tau Imperial Guard) conversions they would like to show.

I did a small number of infantry up as Guela'vesa ages ago, just after the current Cadian stuff came out. Nothing really came of it, although I also found that the Kasrkin rifles take pulse rifle muzzles rather nicely

**Kasrkinlegion**

Flinty those look insanse...

Heh, yeah good thing I didn't glue them in right? I noticed it after taking the pics, but didn't bother reshooting the pics... SOOOO thanks for pointing it out, good eye, but yep it's been fixed LOL

Hehehe... I was hoping that was the case... either that or it was a subtle TSOALR reference

**Cappy**

That looks great Flinty I like the camo pattern.
