These are some customized models I've put together for my imperial guard list with fluff that includes recruits from the feral deathworld of Fedrid. These are my first real attempts at building anything other than from the box.

Update 20210421: Feral Guardsmen from Fedrid
The Regiments trained on Fedrid are composed of elites from Scintilla, Spheris Secundus, and the Feral natives of Fedrid itself. Here we see feral guardsmen from the hunting tribes on fedrid.

This woman is from one of the native hunting tribes of Fedrid. She carries a lighter Lascarbine and wears no armor to remain light and agile. (This model was converted from one of the Raging Heroes Jailbirds by cutting off the standard rifle the model comes with, and adding a catachan carbine with it's stock and grip removed. Also seen in the background are a new leaf scatter I'm using punched out of real leaves, thanks for the idea Ragsta!).


Seen here are some of the natives from Fedrid that fill out the ranks of the Fedrid Imperial Guard regiments. They carry a version of the Fedrid Razor Disc adapted to use in the Imperial Guard (seen carried on the belt just under this guardsman's right elbow). These natives are born hunters and often refuse to wear the standard issue armor available to the Regiments of Fedrid. Partially because the poor fit the armor available makes to their stocky build, but largely because they feel it is not in the spirit of the Great Hunt. These tribesmen have fought from their youth to survive and emerge as the top predators on Fedrid, and all are proud that they have earned a chance to join the Great Hunt of the Stars, serving the will of the Greatest Huntsman, the Emperor of Man. These guys are made from Mad Robot Miniatures "Lykan" heads and torsos, with fatigue leggings and bear arms. Lasguns were cut and glued on the MRM arms to keep them in line with the GW Astra Militarum flavor. Other GW bits were added as well.

Really cool Minis. I like them. What is this cogwheel looking thing at the hip of the left side on the lower pic? Some kind of weapon?

From the Dark Heresy RPG fluff
The Fedrid Razor Disc is a primitive weapon, originating from the Feral World, Fedrid. It is most commonly used for hunting.
About the size of a standard dinner plate, the weapon features a sharpened edge around its outer surface. Numerous holes, made at 45 degree angles, pierce the disk’s surface so that when thrown the air passing through creates a low humming sound, allowing the thrower to follow the disc by sound as it disappears into undergrowth.


So I call this an razor disc that has been "Adapted" for use in the guard because I wasn't going to be able to get something that small with little holes in it as described. But I did find these "External tooth lock washers" from the local hardware store, which were pretty close. So these guys don't carry any bayonettes/knives, and these are basicaly the stand in for those as their "preferred weapon". Basically just serves as decoration for the base guardsman attack, although when using them as Catachan it could be part of the argument for Strength 4 melee, or I also might put them in an army using the custom regiment traits Lords Approval or Slum FIghters.
