Finished the first of my mutant guard heavy weapons teams and I am looking for feedback. The re-posing was a bit of a pain, but I got there in the end. The main question is, do I build more of these or just buy and headswap some cadian weapons teams

I would love to see these without the flash, it ruins any model right away.

As requested.

Much better I really like them. Are they bloodpact ?

Not bloodpact as such. They're supposed to be the none csm contingent of my iron warriors army. Themed around the black library books.

I see You know that guard and chaos marines can´t really ally in the new rules right?

Erm.... No, not a problem though as I can easily use them as a stand alone army until my apocalypse table is ready.


Edit: I just looked into this, and it seems any army can ally itself with any other army. Although there are penalties for doing so

Ah yes, unbound.

No not unbound. Same as Desperate, but they have to deploy 12'' from each other.

They look pretty darn nice though.

Really?! that´s quite interesting, but let´s get back on topic

Yes they are really nice, id like to see more.

wow these look absolutely lovely

They look sooo much better without the flash. The wrecked bike base looks great, too.

Thanks everyone. I will post more once I get them finished, I the meantime there are plenty of wip pics in my p+m blog. Including ogryns and armour.

I like the use of the bike as their bunker as opposed to more traditional sandbags. To me it makes the unit seem more dynamic in the sense that they haven't been standing in the same spot behind a barricade for most of the battle but rather moving up on the enemy's position though debris and wrecks.
Good choice

Thanks xendarc, that's what I was aiming for. Im glad people approve as it justifies my decision to saw an old dreadnought in half for my other bases. Lol.

Looking really cool! Traitor guard is the best guard

They look great, but if you want to just take the headswap route then why would you use cadians over catachans? Catachans have a much more 'bare muscle' vibe which would fit in with the models you already have.

I see your point. However, only my veterans are bare torso'd, and catachans are webstore exclusives and I don't really want to have to wait a week for every squad I buy.

Finished my second team now. This was a nice easy one, minimal re-posing required. They're supposed to be making their way through the wreckage of one of their victims.

Amazing stuff! Love the concept. Would love the execution more if it weren't for mold lines.
Keep it up!

Yeah.. I have to admit, I missed quite a few mold lines here. I will go back and sort them eventually. .

Where are the heads from?

looking really sharp!

They're A.M scion heads on the heavy bolter team, and modified cadian heavy weapons team heads on the missile launcher team.

Thanks dude.

Beastygores bodies? HERESY!!! Oh wait... it is 0.o

Lol. Hell yeah. The whole army will be converted to one degree or another. Its a lot more work, but it'll be worth it to own a tptally unique army.
