Imperial Guard Killteam: A WIP

[Dawn of the Dogs]

so heres my latest pet project, a IG killteam designed to go along with my tyranid army. very basic conversions, but i think theyve come out rather well.

all in all, theyre just made of cadian, catachan bits, as well as some nid carapaces and some other doodads.

so, C&C?

[nurgle_boy]

very nice indeed, all inkeeping with the same style, and a good style at that.
nice minor conversions, and bitz swapping.

juts slap on a paint job that does justice!

[Rabid Bunny 666]

nice, but maybe taking off some of the more noticeable mould lines would help IMHO

[ExoCowboy]

yes, take those mould-lines off and you have one nice squad there! Cool conversions, especially that support-weapon is great . Show us these fellows when you get them painted.

[Dominion]

excellent!

[tzeentchgiant]

Mold lines, other than that great, look forward to seeing them painted.

Maybe make them into the Dirty Dozen? You might not know what I'm talking about, it is an old WWll movie for us Americans! lol. They look good.

[EmperorsChamp01]

Really good. My favorite is the Support guy. Looks good but paint them already. lol IMHO you should clean up the mold lines. But other than that they are really good.

[scrubout]

Looks great! Makes me want to start my own kill team right now...*eyes bitz box*

-peace out

[Hercco]

Cool stuff. Looking forward seeing them painted. And yeah, don't forget to clean those mold lines.

[Red Scorpion]

Oh come on, everyones seen the Dirty Dozen! Not just Americans!
Shaeffers Last Chancers were based on them in fact!
As for the guard, cool!
Not too keen on the plasma gun, just seems pretty huge, how about trying something like http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakka/Defa...=posts&t=10037 ? Seems more in keeping with a special ops/kill team approach. The heavy stubber too, pretty basic non-Guard equipment for a kick-ass Nid killing Kill Team. Also, in game play, would a heavy weapon not be a little too cumbersome? As in slowing you down?

nice solution to nids extended carapace for shoulders pads, it works great. overall very dinamic Killteam.

[Dawn of the Dogs]

mould lines, mould lines, mould lines..... ok, i get it, mould lines. i just whacked em together with blue tack, jeez, get off my back. seriously though, glad y'all like em, hope to get em ready for painting soon, but i have a few more ideas for some more team members. im thinking captain, grenadier, sniper and a spec-ops type guy.

when life throws big bugs at you, you need a big gun to bring em down.
and as for the stubber, it was kinda a last minute addition. story wise, theyve just ripped it off a busted chimera, slapped a bipod on it, and put it in the hands of the first willing trooper. i feel that adding character to individual models makes for a more interesting game, even if it would slow me down, it just makes it more challenging.

[tzeentchgiant]

Sorry to go off topic, but are you allowed to do traitor guardsmen kill teams?

TG

[scrubout]

I could point at my guardsmen at any time and call them traitor guardsmen so I figure you can point at your guardsmen and decree that they too are now traitor guardsmen. Just use the basic Imperial Guard rules, and paint suitably. Nifty idea, I kind of like the idea of a traitor guard kill team.

I suppose there is a little bit of heretic in all of us...

[Saltire]

I can't say I'm keen on Catachans in general but that heavy weapon is awesome. Nice work.

I suppose there is a little bit of heretic in all of us...

Yes... and it must be PURGED! Calls for Minister down the hall to be rewarded by the whooshing sound of igniting flamers.

[Fanny Crowbar]

Love the Scout. You've inspired me to create my own Kill Team.

[The boyz]

Simply done yet looks very effective. I like the extra armour made from bits of Tyranid , that looks well good.

Cant wait to seem them painted.

[Anvils Hammer]

nice subtle conversions, i like the extra armour on them.
the assault rifle is also nicly done, but cut the barrel down so its flat ended, looks less las like then.

[ArtificerArmour]

a nice bit of necromancy here...arn't they finished yet?
