http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net So this is my first try at a scratch built unit. I am operating on a tight budget, so I buy a lot of random stuff on ebay and us them to kitbash different units together (my storm shield Veterans are gonna be awesome, coming soon).


In one of the boxes I got off of ebay are a bunch of legs and torso that are OLD. Not 100% they are even GW, but they probably date back to Rogue Trader days. I had the idea to use them to make some scouts for my Blood Angel successor chapter. My chapter will (one day) have a japanese theme, so my thought had been to make a more ninja-like group with black cloaks and ninja masks. Unfortunately, ninja masks are impossible to make at this size with my skill level, and I don't have the cash to buy heads off the internet, so I had to give up that idea (one day!). But the black cloaks stayed - this guys are masters of the night. It also made them easier to paint


First, I used Oyumaru and Green Stuff to make additional legs, then made torso out of green stuff and bits. The sniper rifles are old-style bolt rifles that have been chopped with tooth picks and a straw. More bits for belt packs and pistol holsters

I made the camo cloaks out of auto shop towels (the blue ones). I soaked them in a 50/50 mix of Elmers glue and water and let it harden. I made the Sarge magnetic, in case I want to change his load-out.




Spray paint it black.





And Painted Them. I'm a very basic paint, so if anyone has suggestions for ways to make this look better (besides more practice), I would love to hear it. The cloaks are Grey underside, and Black on top, and they look a little too flat. But I want to keep them basically black (no camo or something). Any suggestions to spruce it up?








Overall, I'm pretty happy with the end result. They look pretty decent, and I got a $20 squad of scouts for the cost of Green Stuff and less than $5 in bits from Ebay.


Hope you like it!

Gaming related pictures can be uploaded to your gallery here on dakka.

Otherwise a hosting site might be an idea.

Now hosted on the forum gallery. Enjoy!
