Hi,

A friend wants some Catachan veterans done (20 of them) and I've literally never known how to do them.

If anyone could point me to a thread which tells you how to convert them please let me know

Depends entirely on how you want to distinguish veterans from non-veterans.

That can be as simple as painting them differently, e.g. different coloured shoulder pads or headbands or a different camo pattern.

Or you can give them some slightly different uniforms, e.g. berets as headgear (do a Google image search on 'Catachan veterans' to see some examples).

Or another approach is to equip them better than ordinary troops, e.g. give every one of them spare ammo and equipment belts.

Or pick up some of the old metal models and tech them up a bit.

Ok. Thanks, will have a look on gooogle.
