First shots of my work in progress Taros Planetary Defence Force imperial guard renegade militia. Just need to get to work on the skin and hair, do some camouflage add some badges on the arms. The fluff behind this army is a development of the Taros Campaign narrative by Warwick Kinrade and Tony Cottrell from Volume Three of the Imperial Armour Forgeworld series. The idea is that these show how the humans on Taros have built up a revolutionary army in the wake of the campaign, perhaps even fighting to liberate themselves from the Tau. The inspiration is largely from the Kurdish militias and I've tried to run with the idea that they're not very well resourced and so have a mix of fatigues. The sergeant, special weapon and heavy weapon troopers are all magnetised and so can take any weapons that are appropriate, something else I need to finish work on. In terms of the conversions themselves, the bodies are from the Bolt Action WW2 US infantry set, arms, weapons and equipment from Cadian and Catachan kits from Games Workshop, the heads from Statuesque Miniatures, Anvil Industry and Games Workshop and the backpacks from Mad Robot Minis, CP Miniatures and Anvil Industry. The main conversion work was getting the arms to fit, which involved shaving the shoulder pads off Cadian arms, something I might do a tutorial on at some point. #warhammer40k #warhammerconversions #boltaction #warlordgames #anvilindustry #statuesqueminiatures #madrobotminiatures #cpminiatures #imperialguard
