So this lot art ready for show and tell yet but I'm looking for some advice or ideas.

I had the idea of converting the new van saar gang into elite imperial guard drop troops for kill team probably representing tempests scions, hopefully with a bit of a mass effect feel to them





now I'm aware i missed mass effect completely and ended up with mini master chief instead but thats not the thing i was hoping for help with.

1) does any one have any ideas on how to model a vox specialist? because the grave chute means i can't use the back pack and the difference in scale means i can't use either of the scions arms that might help.

2)any ideas on beefing up the lasguns to be mote hellgun ish with out ruining the lines?

For the vox, could you take apart one of the grav chutes and add them to the corners of a standard Guard vox? Maybe trim off the speaker and circular aerial to.slim it down a bit?

For hellguns you could see.if you can find some sentinel.las weapon power packs, either Lascannon or.multilaser, and add to the bottom of the grav chutes. Power cables to the weapon and you're done.

I had ago at the vox caster idea but it turns out that because of the scale of the van saar are slightly smaller when you add the jet to a vox caster it ends up way too wide.

So this was my second attempt I'm not totally happy but that might be because i used the legs i don't like in case it ended up junk !

For the Hell guns though i do like that idea and I'm currently hunting through my bits box for potential power packs
