Work in Progress - Archenemy Guards

Another work in progress project - a squad of soldiers to guard the kind of dignitaries, clerics and scholars that are dedicated to the Pantheon of Chaos in the books of Dan Abnett.

I've had this particular conversion in mind for a good long while, after gathering together some interesting bits - in particular the Bretonnian Men-at-Arms bodies and Ramshackle Games turbaned gasmask heads. I found those particular parts again recently whilst having a tidy out, when I also rediscovered the Forgeworld Renegade Militia arms - I realised  that they'd all fit together nicely! With a couple of extra bits I'd come up with a squad to use in Inqmunda and other systems - I imagine them guarding some sort of target for the Alpha Legion Kill Team (posted a couple of days back) or searching a shanty town for a Throne Agent.

More on these when I've painted lots more stuff! Comments most welcome. 

Work in Progress - Alpha Legion Kill Team

Here's something I recently rediscovered - the start of an Alpha Legion Kill Team:

I thought I'd put up some pictures of a work-in-progress project I'm planning on working soon - a squad of approximately 8 Adeptus Astartes plus a Dreadnought (the Forgeworld Ironclad). The plan is to have each member of the squad to look very similar - in power armour marks, equipment and so on, with various details seeming slightly "off" - with this leader for example, his plasma pistol is non-standard, having been taken from the previously limited edition Inquisitor Gideon Lorr, but overall they will be "clean" enough to operate within the ranks of the Imperial Guard as a squad from a Loyalist Chapter.

The power sword on the leader is taken from an Eldar Figure (probably a Howling Banshee) - again suggesting non-standard (read: non-Imperial) technology origins. 

Here's the first standard member of the squad, armed with a heavily modified bolter and short axe. Arms come from the Chaos Marine kits with extraneous spikes and other details removed. I will be moving these across to 30mm or 32mm bases when I return to work on the squad. I've used liquid greenstuff on the legs of this particular marine.

Looking at these pictures really makes me want to get back to these - perhaps once I get a few of my current projects completed I can return to build the rest of the squad and decide how to arm that Dreadnought!
