These boys will be attached to the two squads in my garrison infantry platoon. As you can see they are hard at work, one of the teams valiantly defending an industrial... um... thingy... (I do rather enjoy doing up heavy weapons teams).

The assistant gunners are both magnetised at the knee to allow for casualty removal.

Would love to see their right hand though ( curiouse to how they hold it )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735783.page GMT Re:Hold the Line!

I cut down the HW squad autocannon/HB firing handle arms to give a single pistol grip. I then filed down the Valkyrie pintle mount bit under the HB. One will be stuck to the other when I get it painted up.

I haven't actually used the tripods at all, and probably won't in the end. I toyed with using the normal Guard HB, but I thought it looked a bit too bulky for use as a SAW. The normal Guard HB is about 1/3 bigger compared to the Valkyrie door mount HBs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735803.page GMT Re:Hold the Line!
i love you're work, they are incredible! great job! i like the hand positioning/combo you used.
Luna mentioned not using the tripod. i used the bipod, cut down some. i used them on ACs and HBs both.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735807.page GMT Hold the Line! HW sprue". Pig iron heads? I like it a lot. I also enjoy doing HW bases , like mini , god I can't remember the word , begins with d?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735820.page GMT Hold the Line! HW sprues, although I guess the result is the same

The heads are Pig Iron Heavy Infantry, and the word you are looking for is Diorama ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735839.page GMT Hold the Line! everytime I see your updates it makes me more and more anxious to move so that I can start working on the cadian battleforce set.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/735872.page GMT Re:Hold the Line!

For the prone HB gunner I kinda lucked out on choosing the legs. They are unmodified Cadian legs of the stride-forward-to-the-right kind. The body is a slightly filed down standard Cadian torso which was pinned at a slight angle as you can see below. The other important part that makes the prone positon work is the fact that he's lying on something that looks like its supporting him, hence the random bits of scenery on the base. The pose didn't really work until I got those 3 things sorted. Having no experience of the scout models I would be interested to see if there is a similar set of bits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/736046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/736046.page GMT Re:Hold the Line! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/736052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/736052.page GMT Hold the Line! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737879.page GMT Hold the Line! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737939.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737939.page GMT Hold the Line! imo.

You'd have been better off nabbing some of the FW Elysian weapon packs, and getting the heavy bolters from there if you wanted something akin to a SAW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737942.page GMT Hold the Line!

Its a fair point, however having just checked out the Forgeworld pics, I don't think the Elysian HBs are any smaller. HBs of any stripe are a bit boxy and bulky. My Guard hail from a pretty tech advanced planet, so I reckon they're all kitted out with suspensor rigs to deal with the bulkiness

Also I prefer the look of the box mag, rather than a belt feed from a separate ammo bin.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241567/737953.page GMT Hold the Line!
