Any one Model them in Plastic's or convert them?

Dont want to spend $700-800 to do this army.

There is this place called Pig-iron productions who do death korps looking soldiers for half the price, but guns look more sci-fi.

You could do Steel Legion models with longer greatcoats, and a resperator box.

Other than that you could heavily converted a bald head from the catachan set into a gas masked head.
Use the catachan torso and give it a greatcoat or you could do the same with a cadian torso.
For the legs use a cadian torso with a long greatcoat over it.
Also have wiring from the gas mask to a converted respirator box.

Hope it helps

yea it will..I'll post pictures when i'm done thanks.

There are rumors / wishlist of greatcoat guard being released early next year. It may make sense to wait for the rumors to firm up a bit before actually spending.

well yea thats what i've heard. I heard that from the guy that told me about Plastic Drop pods and Plastic Valkries so 1 out 3 of dreams have come ture.

Thats why I want to convert them.

By the time you factor in Greenstuff costs, you'll find it to be expensive, regardless.

Ture cause I just tried that me sucking with green stuff and yea.

I'll just wait or just do one big buy.

Hmm, greatcoat guard have been rumored for almost eight years now.

Pig Iron not only makes some nice WWI gas mask models but they also sell the heads seperately. The War Store has them.

I put them on Bret Men at arms bodies with some success.

Looks good, i like the fact of the Man-at-arms bodies look pretty gothic and the head's fit in nicely.

What you going to paint them?

@Kid_Kyoto
Nice! Where are the bodies from? some warhammer imperials?
would'nt there heads work well with cadian bodies? ...

The bodies are Warhammer Fantasy Bretonnian Men-at-Arms. And yes, the heads work well with Cadians. Pig Iron Productions has quite the selection to choose from.
