After what seems like an eternity painting Orks, I'm coming back to The Imperium. I've had an idea to do a drop troop guard army since the plastic Valkyrie was released but never got round to it until now. Here are the first five members of a veteran squad
Close up of a trooper front and back
And the squad sergeant
I'm using Cadian bodies with pig iron heavy infantry heads and pulse rifles and grav chutes from hasslefree. As ever C&C is most welcome.
hasslefree do some pretty good stuff, and pig iron are always good for heads, ace work so far, lets see some more.
Chaotically Characterful, a Chaos Plog with far too many HQ choices
It's a fight to the death that completely lacks any sense of excitement

Always wondered how those Helmets would look like on Cadians.
Definately going to get some myself now for my Adeptus Arbites squad
Looking good, any fancy plans for the Valk?
Turn everything you have into a weapon and you'll never be defenceless.

looking good, what colors do you intend to paint in?
Thanks for the comments guys. @Bra'tac I have a Valk already built but I plan on getting more and I will be converting a few to Vendettas. @Deffgob I'm going with dark grey fatigues and sandy armour similar to the Harakoni Warhawks.
I've finally finished building the first veteran squad with 3 meltaguns
here's a close up of a couple of meltas
I also built a plasmacannon armed sentinel
I'll start getting some paint on these tomorrow and I'll hopefully get the command squad and second veteran squad built later in the week when I get more bodies. Also hopefully sometime in the week I'll be starting on a Mordian army as I have just bought enough for a CCS, 2 platoons and maybe some veterans.
looking good! where did you get the meltas from`?
Thanks Deffgob, one of the meltas is from the cadian command squad and the others are plastic space marine ones on grenade launcher arms.
Hasslefree and Pig iron Bitz... a really great asset in making great looking guard
IMHO air cav guard is a theme that, to be properly executed requieres skill and taste.
Keep it up, your making it great.

The Reds are coming!!! Group of Imperial Forces Germanica, the Fulda Incident
Great start! Are those guns going to count as lasguns? I think lasguns are an iconic Guardsman weapon, so perhaps these could be shotguns on your veterans? That would allow you to field both the Hasslefree guns and normal lasguns.

AHA! so you are the one who has emptied the bits sites for meltas :P what do the guns count as (the metal ones)?

Hahaha Deffgob, no, I got those meltas from a friend who plays marines. The metal ones count as lasguns for the moment but I may change to shotguns though.
So, a rather large box arrived this morning. The Mordians are here!! Here's a WIP of a veteran sergeant
the following 2 pics are a little blurred but they show the colours better
As you can see, I'm going with the classic 211th Mordian. What do you think so far?
gotta love the modrianshow many did you get, and how much did they set you back financially ?
I got 3 officers, 9 sergeants, 60 lasgunners, 3 flamers, 4 grenade launchers, 1 autocannon, 1 lascannon, 3 mortars and 5 heavy bolters for 75 quid. I also found a couple of basilisks and 3 leman russes inc a FW vanquisher turret (knight commander pask ftw) hiding in a cupboard yesterday so I've got a nice new army pretty much ready made.
better start painting then :P lotsa work ahead of you, remember to stock up on blue
the sarge/officer test looks good, nice and traditional!
Great use of the pig iron upgrade packs! They look really veteran like. The wip veteran sergeant is coming along nicely too.
Keep it up!
mordians should be in black old man (gestapo :P)
other guard look cool *cough*halo*cough* lol joking, should be better with some paint on them

Work is continuing on the Mordian front with the addition of 6 more veterans
and a company command squad with vox operator, medic and standard
I've had that Commisar since it came out and thought it would fit perfectly as a senior officer since there is only one Mordian officer model and I didn't fancy doing any major conversion work. I also have two platoons each with two basic squads ready for basing and priming, a FW Stygies VIII Vanquisher to rebuild and I found this - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/ca...dId=prod40011a (the one on the left) in my bits box, to use as Knight Commander Pask.
