I've had this tank commander body laying around for a while now and wanted to do something fun with it. Eventually I came up with Sergeant Dan.
The idea is that my guardsmen scavenged a malfunctioning tau drone and put one of their amputee officers on it so now he flies it around and chops up xenos with his sword. It was more for fun than anything else really.

C&C would as always be appreciated.

Nice paint, interesting use or bits!

[edit - spelling is hard.]

I like the "handicapped" logo on it. Adds that extra bit of "rule of cool"

Is the yellow base trim a reference to disabled parking?

I'm pretty sure Inquisitor Gump would take issues with the whole mercenaries working for anyone who pays, while just scraping by, idea that I've got going anyway.

Nope, that's just the squad marking. Each squad has their own colour and the base rims and sergeants/commanders get painted in said colour to make it easier to make out each squad when there's 100+ guardsmen running around in big blobs. There's no yellow in swedish disabled parking anyway, only white.

Here sgt. Dan is leading his squad into combat. I'm considering adding something like a sword or a gun to the handicap symbol on the drone to make it a bit more lighthearted. Any recommendations on what would be cool?
