Survivor Company XVIII "Glorious Resurgence" aka 'The Dregs'

Hey Warseer,
Thsi will be a log for various conversion projects that piqued my interest but were too time-consuming to turn into their own army.
With a company composed of surviving soldiers of disbanded or wiped out regiments I can go wild on conversions and lob it all together in the end. :-)

First, some links to earlier projects of mine that got incorporated into this one.

Company Commander
I first used him as an imperial Field Marshal with the old rules in white Dwarf but with the new Codex I use the rules of Creed and Kell.

Feudal World IG

Now the new stuff.

Those Rapiers will be used as artillery with range 48", S10, AP1 and twin-linked. Not sure about point costs yet.

The beastmen will feature as Penal Legion with a human custodian. They have a lot of tools and gear because they're always used for heavy work when out of combat. Still, they're happy to suffer for the sky-emperor.

More will come in the future, but tell me what you think of it!

Good stuff. I really like the Beastmen Penal Legion, especially the "heavy labor detail" gear you've given them. It really adds a lot of character to the unit, and I will probably use it as inspriation for a project I plan to work on some time in the future.

Also, I have a suggestion for you on your Rapiers, that I picked up from another user here on Warseer. If you want to use them in a more competetive environment, you could use each Rapier as a Lascannon Heavy Weapon Squad. (The Rapier itself is the source of all three Lascannon shots, while the 'crew' models represent the extra bases required in the HWS. Each slain crew reduces the effectiveness of the Rapier.)

Thats an excellent idea regarding the rapiers!

I'm happy if I could inspire you, Ambience. And thanks for the idea regarding tournament play!

Anyways, Ordo Reductor member with flamer. I actually have three of them plus another three with lasguns for a special weapon squad, but all group pictures were kinda crappy.

With only one more beastman to go (still waiting for a cadian torso to build him), I started the next 'count as' penal squad. These will be forcibly inducted space pirates loosely based on the Ultras from Alastair Reynolds' novels. These crewmen of interstellar ships basically form their own on-board mini societies, proudly sport obvious and clunky cybernetics and use a mix of primitive and hightech equipment.

Anyways, here are my first WIPs:
