Hello everyone, hope you're all well.
With the release of Games Workshop's new Kill Team game looming in the near future I decided to get back into the hobby again after quite some time away. I much prefer those small scale high story driven battles, so, safe to say I'm super hyped for the new Kill Team!
Imperial guard ODST's then, I think they fit perfectly into Kill Team; a squad or two of special forces sent to complete specific missions that maybe would be otherwise too complex or specialist for regular soldiers.
How to achieve the Halo look? Well I didn't want to overdo the Halo-ness, I wasn't going for a exact copy. I don't really think my green stuff skills are quite at the level of sculpting and entire model yet but I did manage to make a pretty decent helmet.

I'm actually getting it cast by Zealot miniatures at the moment, I heard they were really good quality, so I really can't wait to get some casts from them and start building my force.
I've still got a load of stuff to do, I'm quite surprised how big the project is for only 3 squads. I decided to pick up some Elysian drop troopers from forgeworld in their last chance to buy sale, so I'll base them on them although I'm thinking of getting some different torsos.
For those that are into the gaming side of things, this is what my Kill team is comprised of (hopefully this will be still legal in the new rules) for 200pts:
PCS
Mortar, 2 Sniper Rifles
PIS
Mortar, Flamer
PIS
Mortar, Flamer
I have also bought a squad of Hardened veterans with shotguns and meltagun so I may throw them in on some games.
There's still a whole lot of fun stuff to do. Very soon I'll have a finished model to show off, so come check that out in the next few days. If anyone has any cool ideas for the kill team I'd love to hear them. Also, if anyone knows how to post photos directly that would be useful to know too.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
