So, I'm a big fan of the jungle fighters imperial guard concept. There's some really cool fluff revolving around the Catachans and the artwork for them is some of my favorites. The whole, Vietnam, Arnold-Schwarzenegger-in-Predator-look appeals to me as an army. Rugged and practical, with each soldier having an individualistic look to him. I've been wanting to implement this idea for a while, but aesthetically, it presents an obstacle.

Sadly, the heads and arms in the Catachan Jungle Fighters box are pretty ridiculous-looking at best, and downright ugly at worst. I can stand the torsos and legs at least. The heads are pretty easy; I was thinking I could just swap them for gas masked heads, maybe from Pig Iron and fluff them as being from a world with a toxic atmosphere, or one populated by plants that emit toxic spores.

The arms present a greater challenge, and are what I'm looking for ideas and opinions on. What do you think Dakka? Is it a worthwhile endeavor, or should I just give in and do something different?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516907.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516907.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516937.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516941.page GMT
Theres always an exception though and in this case its the one head that looks like the guy is trying REALLY hard to take a dump]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2516973.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517024.page GMT fit right...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517055.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351065/2517544.page GMT
