Wayland Colonial Guard, Just another bug hunt

As the new IG codex finally came, I decided to revive my old Guard project, which has been on hold for a while. So far I'm working on converting old models to suit my new goals, but some new ones have been made in the process, which I can share with you right away.

Basic Trooper:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...g-trooper-1.jpg
In other words, a carapace armoured Veteran, showing off his new Wayland pattern M41A autogun. Troopers like him will make up the core of the army, as I wanted a more well geared and trained elite army instead of a human wave with heavy artillery support.

All in all a very simple conversion, just Cadian mounted on SM Scout legs and all the aquilas filed off. The guns are new. I originally made their autoguns from lasguns, but after a while decided to spend some cash and get a bunch of pulse rifles from Hasslefree.

Sorry for the quality, they're not totally finished yet, more like a test run I did a long time ago (in fact, they're the first two minis I've ever painted). You can also spot the old autoguns. I wanted something simple and scifi. Urban camo and olive drab was what I finally settled on. Tanks and such will be all in olive drab.

Heavy Bolter Teams:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-hb-teams-1.jpg
Originally made as individual models, but the new codex forces me to mount them on the same base, so a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Some more of the old autoguns, which too will get replaced. The HBs will stay as they are. Made from a SM Scout HB with autocannon barrel, grenade launcher drum and meltagun muzzle into a nice portable "smartgun". I'm hoping to fit the user with a servo-arm to support the weight of the gun.

Special Weapons:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-specials-1.jpg
Plasmas and flamers, as intended to be used in the army. Also shows some of the more "veteran" aspects of the force with personalized gear. The plasmas are mounted on the Cadian flamer arm and sling, and the troopers have the helmet camera from the vox operator's helmet mounted on the side of their head.

Primaris Psycher:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-primaris-1.jpg
Originally this was to be a Commissar by rules and an Ecclesiarchy field agent by fluff, but later turned him into a psycher. I originally wanted him to be an animed up version of the Grammaton Clerics from Equilibrium. Eldar head to give him more feminin facial features, long coat, a big gun and an even bigger sword. I later got inspired by Hellsing and turned his sword into what it is now, a small tribute to Alexander Anderson and his swords, which are actually Austrian sword bayonet.

Reason to use him as a psycher was mainly because I bought a bunch of models as my sanctioned psychers that also had a very Grammaton Cleric feel to them. So by theme he was better as a psycher than anything else.

The model is a mix of things. IG tank crew torso, Dark Angel robed legs, Eldar Guardian bare head, arms of Lt. Varras from the Macragge box and a Dark Angel terminator power sword with a piece of bent paperclip.

Army Commander:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr.../wcg-cmdr-1.jpg
The Man himself, the commanding officer of the army. While I wanted the army itself to be more scifi than WW1 and more realistic than 40K bling, I also wanted to keep true to the world and decided to make the officers and other high ranking members of the army more 40K than the troops. So that's why all the bling. Basically the models it just to fill in the role of the commander and has no great purpose in him.

Base of the model is Lt. Varras from the Macragge box. His legs are replaced with normal Cadian ones, mostly so that he would stand up straight(er than usual). Cadian sergeant arms, laspistol replaced with a Necromunda stub gun and chainsword blade replaced with a Catachan HW team machete, designed to act both as a CCW and PW, which ever is needed. IG tank crew laspistol holster on his side, Devastator servo skull with Iron Halo (acting as the refractor field) and a cape from what I believe is the old Chaos Warrior box.

Armoured Sentinel:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...cg-walker-1.jpg
Ah, finally I got to work on these puppies. So who has cool walkers now Ms. Eldar and Mr. Tau? Ever since I saw some Starship Troopers M8 Marauder suits on sale (10€ vs. 17.50€ for GW Sentinels), I just had to get them, they're so much better than those old chicken walkers. And since GW gave them plasma cannons, I just had to give them those. I can only have a squad of them, since Valkyries take up the rest of my FA slots, but it's still worth it.

As said, the model is a Mongoose Publishing Starship Troopers M8 'Ape' Marauder suit. The plasma cannon in its arms is an Eldar star cannon fitted in the middle of a Tau plasma rifle. The hands are from the Eldar Wraithlord. On top of the model is a SM searchlight. Nothing else at the moment.

I am thinking of giving the model smoke grenades as smoke launchers. Something that it can toss itself with its hands.

You know, I honestly have to say that I really like those models. I love the M41A Pulse Rifle, and would have loved if you could have the proper load out with it, that being an underslung grenade launcher...But it looks really good. I was thinking of doing the same thing myself.

Your heavy weapon teams look amazing!! Lots of great ideas there...might end up stealing some of them myself.

As for your Sentinel (aka Marauder), I did the same thing...ummmm...minus the gun and the other neat stuff you did to him... I basically added a Lascannon to his shoulder, which doesn't have anywhere near the character yours has!!

Overall, Excellent job!!!

Really nice conversions! Well done. The walker is interesting, but it doesn't really fit in visually with the rest of the army, although since the Imperium is so bloody huge almost anything can fit within it... you might want to come up with some reason it looks so different, like it's from some nearly lost Forgeworld and it's built using STC technology jealously guarded by the tech-adepts... just sayin'....

That sentinel is great I thought it was the coolest in the old star ship troopers animated series and can I ask where you bought it from.
Keep up the great work.

Really because I think the walker fits it beautifully after all it is representing the power lifter from same universe as the colonial marines that make up his rank and file.

Not to forget that the expanded AvP universe also contains military power suits, like ALICE and the M-422 "RACK" (at the bottom of the page). They both have arm mounted guns, but I wanted to have something with hands, something that could manipulate things and such. Not just another gun platform on feet.

I bought mine from a local hobby store chain. They were on sale as the game is not made anymore, so there's no point in keeping things like that on the shelves anymore. I only got 2 at the moment, but I'm hoping to get 2 more, one as the third Armoured Sentinel and the other as, you guessed it, a yellow Sentinel Powerlifter.

Guardsmen do have grenades, so what's the big difference between throwing and shooting a grenade? After all, the grenade is the size of a shotgun shell, so it's not like it has that much destructive potential gamewise (even a proper grenade launcher frag grenade is only S3, and that's like 2 or 3 times bigger than the one that would go into the pulse rifle).

My biggest beef is the lack of combi-weapons for the Guard. How am going to have a combi-flamer on one of my models now?

By all means. I could have gone with a much more smartgunian look, maybe with a miniature MG42 or heavy stubber as the base of the conversion, but I wanted to be true to 40K and only use the movie and other sources as inspiration, so in the end I opted to have the gun look like a modified heavy bolter and after a few trials used the SM Scout one.

Well, we haven't even seen the rest of the army, so there's no telling how well they will fit in there. I have 3rd party Chimeras and Centaurs already in mind. Not to forget the Vulcan Macharius and Deatstrike Launcher that I'm working on.

Besides, there are tons of gear in the fluff not found in the game. Chimera and Russ are just two (though popular) tanks in a long list of things, so there's plenty of room for some non-standard gear as well. Many regiments have unique equipment available only for them, maybe because they're the sole makers or owners of said equipment.

Inquisitorial allies allow you to add all you need for anyone with access to the army (inq stormie sarges, inquistors and retinue etc etc)

Ow... My fingers are aching, I'm covered in plastic chips (as is my floor, which I just cleaned the other day) and I'm tired... Why is it do hard to convert!?

Mo' dakka, mo' problems.

Quickest of you might have figured out the kits so far. That's right, a Land Raider with a Baneblade turret. While I do love the FW kit, and miniguns, £93 for that is waaaay too much moolah for my wallet, not to forget that it was a little too crude looking for my more high-tech Guard. I got the LR (Terminus pattern at that) on sale for 37.50€ from a local hobby store and scored the turret for around 5€ from a bitz store.

Why a Land Raider? Well, because it's about the same size:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...land/MachLR.jpg

Why bother to turn the hull around? Well, for one, I wanted it to look like it wasn't just a Land Raider with a turret on top. Second, this way it'll look better next to my Russes, making it easier for it to fit into the army.

At the moment only the box at the back of the turret is glued. So far I've just worked on fitting the bits to work the other way around. I'm planning to use Predator HB sponsons (came with the Terminus kit), Punisher minigun on the battle cannon mount, convert the hull twin-linked HBs into heavy stubbers and mount a pintle-mounted heavy stubber on the co-axil autocannon mount. That should give it a good amount of dakka.

And again.

Psycher Battle Squad:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-psychers-1.jpg
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-psychers-2.jpg
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...-psychers-3.jpg
5 Sanctioned Psychers and 1 Overseer. Crush the enemies of the Imperium... With your mind!

The psychers are Slicks from East Riding Miniatures' Corporate Wars. The overseer is a Hasslefree Dionne (with a long coat). I just fell in love with the look of the Slicks and Dionne looked like she would go well with the bunch, so a Psycher Squad it was to be then.

As I already had the Grammaton Cleric inspired Primaris Psycher, I figured I might as well use these fellas to work as regular psychers. Sort of "One day I'll be as cool as that Primaris Psycher, but for now I'm to clear what he sweeps." The psychers are to be in black, while the overseer will be in white. And as much as they're Grammaton Clerics, they're also a little nod at Hellsing and the Iscariot organizarion, just like the Primaris Psycher is a nod at Alexander Anderson of the same organization.

Kroot Shaper:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...cg-shaper-1.jpg
The army will feature a small unit of Kroot Hunters, and this is their shaper. For those who have trouble connecting the dots on this one: Machiko Noguchi. You got your genestealer hunting Guardsmen, so naturally it won't take long for the interplanetary predators to come and hut for the long-pig, or hunt with the long-pig, depending on the situation.

But enough of that. The model is an Escher ganger with a shotgun, turned into a kroot rifle, or a hunting rifle to be more accurate.

Another Trooper and an Objective Marker:
The Trooper
The Marker
Trooper protecting the Marker from that mean ol' queen
What can I say? Actually, the reason I ever decided to give all the troopers those Hasslefree pulse rifles was because of her. I couldn't for the life of me convert her pulse rifle into the cut down lasgun, so I figured it would be easier to just convert everyone else in the army to carry pulse rifles instead. Human logic is an oxymoron...

Anyway, Hasslefree Signee the Alien Hunter and Billie. Nothing else, really. Billie makes a nice objective marker, left at the mercy of all sorts of alien freaks and it's the job of those brave Guardsmen to wade through those aliens to rescue her.


EDIT:
By the way, I really suggest anyone even pondering on buying anything from Hasslefree to just do it. Not only did I get my order in a reasonable time, but my invoice had a handwritten 'thank you' to me personally for purchasing their products, and there was even candy in the package. Frikken candy! When is the last time you ordered something from GW and got a handwritten letter from Jervis Johnson along with candy? This, if anything, is customer service. I think I will get some of their shotguns for my army after all.

Cool stuff you got going on here MrBig, I've got a similarly themed project on the go to (Aliens and 40K, the best of both worlds).

I know you say HBolter teams stay as they are, but you KNOW people are gonna whine about them looking like Meltas with the barrels.

What? No Enoch Nakai? The ultimate AvP badass? (Yes, I know he is a Predator exclusive character, but hey, its a shared universe)

Seriously, great work, and its great to see so many themed Guard armies appearing on the forum now, beyond modern military forces themes anyway. This one in particular is fast becoming one of my favourites.

And damn those who complain about the heavy bolters! Its one of the most original heavy weapon conversions I've seen for a while.

Consider this subscribed mate

Aliens movie IG

Their Mack tank is ultra cool. yes this army should not mess up with "archaic" look tanks like Russ and Chimerasan. giving your LandRaider Mack PUNISHER TURRET will do

But just imagine the surprice they'll get when that meltagun suddenly decides to spill bolter shells at them from 36" away.

After all, it's people's own fault for looking at the muzzle as clue on what they are. This isn't like some cartoon, where the character have to have that trademark hairdo or clothes, or else they won't be recognized. After all, the gun is like 80% heavy bolter, 10% autocannon and 10% meltagun.

Besides, my meltaguns won't be stock GW meltaguns, so it'll put some distance between the two.

I guess not. After all, the main theme of the army might be USCM, but there'll be a ton of other references (just like the psychers so far). A lot of them. But they'll be just details in big picture. There will be stuff from Halo, Metal Gear Solid, Starship Troopers, Blame!, catgirls, etc.

I'm a sucker for all sorts of cool little things here and there, things that I find interesting. My Chaos army's fluff, and though it the entire army, has had a huge amount of influence coming from music. The last two parts of the fluff trilogy were in fact strongly influenced by two music albums, along with whole chapters based on the lyrics from said albums. Even some of the characters' names are based either on songs or bands in one way or another.

New codex = a whole lotta new armies. It's only natural.

I'm glad someone thinks that. I have to say I personally am not overly joyful over them, but they serve their purpose and I'm much too lazy to bother altering them any more. I've probably done them 3 times before reaching this state.

Nice looking stuff. I'd Imperialise that Sentinel a bit though. Get rid of the Pulse/Eldar weapon and give it a real sentinel weapon (Plasma, Lascannon, Multilaser, you name it). If you don't have any, I could help you out (PM me if interested in a bitz swap).

Also, candy? Remember not to talk to strangers and all that.
...pretty cool though, I guess you've convinced me to buy some stuff from them - I've had a few things in mind lately.

Vulcan Macharius:

Just the turret, really. Everything's glued down, except the top, and I added the heavy stubber to it, or autostubber in this case (as picted in the novel Legacy). Added a piece of plasticard at the bottom to cover all the holes there. Probably gonna add a scope or a sight over the minigun to act as an aiming device for the user.

The minigun is an Old Crow Models minigun barrel bit. I originally got a bunch of them to be autocannons, but soon realized that my autocannon count would be rather low (zero is quite low), so after planning my Centaurs, I came to realize that they'd make nice heavy stubbers.

Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...g-straken-1.jpg
Ok, I'll be the first one to admit that she's not entirely serious model for the army, more like something to be used in Apocalypse along with some other fun units I have planned. The whole idea for her and her unit was the cumulation of several ideas, which didn't have any place to be executed. As for herself, I think she's about as reasonable as an unarmed guardsman capable of punching through a Land Raider better than a power fist. The sheer idea of it just called for a really over the top model, and what's more fun than a girl with a massive mallet?

The model is a GW Canoness body (got for £1.25 from ApocaBitzNow), SM arms and plasma pistol. SM Chainsword with some 2mm and 1mm plastic tubing. Dark Angel icon piece on one end and an old style hunter-killer missile launcher with IG HW team autocannon magazines and lascannon cell. The backpack is a CSM one, which I chose because it fitted her back (SM ones didn't fit because of the fur collar), looked a little different and with the spiky bits could pass as a Sister one. Or something like that.

It's a plasma rifle mated with a star cannon (also a plasma weapon), so together they should shoot out little plasma pistols at the enemy, where as the lonely (oh, so lonely) plasma cannon just has to settle for shooting alone (so very, very lonely).

Anyway, if I wanted an "imperial" weapon, I would have done it, but I didn't want one, I wanted something that's more high-tech. Something that didn't look like it was made in a 19th century forge from lesser weapons.

Actually, strangers talk to me. I'm a freak magnet. Not only has a wino tried to get me to help him get out of town fast (in a "they're out to get me man" sort of way) and at one event a guy crawled into the tent I was sleeping, tried to take my sleeping bag and in the morning was about to put my pants on (since he didn't have pants when he came in). Just a few, family friendly cases.

Besides, if someone really wants to drug me and have their way with me, I don't know which one to feel sorry for.

I think you may have taking the word boomstick a little too literally. Not that its a bad thing though. Keep up the good work.

And don't diss the freaks, they often give the best ideas.

ace looking army you have here, love the use of the ST maruader suit, love that model,

I all so this when i ordered great service

Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...g-straken-2.jpg
3 Command Squad Veteran "Sister Repentias" with laspistols, chainswords and 4+ bikinis.

Nothing really to say. Some Sister Repentias I had lying around with Khorne Berserker holsters (smallest ones I could find). Still need to find a Sister Hospitaler somewhere...

Armoured Sentinel:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...cg-walker-2.jpg
Now with smoke grenades and a new pose.

Made from the little molding bit on large 60mm bases. Looks enough like a grenade with the top bit and all. Grab, prime and toss for some insta-cover.

Leman Russ Annihilator:

Should get me to a good start. Ever since Forge World gave us these things, I've been drooling after them. They so fit the army and with the new LR rules, they should be even better (if FW would ever bother to upgrade their rules). Double las tap with a 6" move. Take that, SM Predator.

Well, the model is just a LR with a Predator Annihilator turret. Gives it a lower profile. The hull lascannon is replaced with one from the Razorback turret, which fits the style of the main guns nicely. The little hatch over the hull gun is replaced with the periscope that comes with the Predator turret. No sponsons planned, and I still don't know what sort of side panels to fit it with. Plain plasticard ones could work, but since I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler, cutting a neat piece will be a challenge. Time will tell...

Oh, my friend, I attract freaks because I'm a freak myself. Bad sense of humor, shameful nudity and a facial tattoo aren't even the icing on the iceberg.

Leman Russ Annihilator:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr.../wcg-russ-5.jpg
Spent a few hours working on the side panels from 2mm plasticard. Best I could pull off. Even though they measure up perfectly with the old side panels, they didn't exactly match up with the hull, and as a result the track guards had to be worked on to fit them on. But in the end they'll pass.

Now all I need to do is add some flavor to them. I'm thinking of maybe carving some lines as panel seams and maybe adding a hatch or two.

Side doors and sponsons attached, as well as head lights and hull mount for the heavy stubbers. Little fitting here and there. I can't believe this thing is actually begining to shape up. The front is still a big mystery. Probably some plasticard to fix that one as well.

The sponsons are Predator heavy bolters with meltagun muzzles as muzzle breakers, attached to a Land Raider sponson mount (it looked better than the Predator one on the larger hull). Hull mount is the Land Raider hull HBs with Old Crow miniguns attached. Added a Predator turret sprue periscope thingy on the top hatch hole on the front of the hull (just beneath the turret heavy stubber).

Meltagun Veterans:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...cg-meltas-1.jpg
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...cg-meltas-2.jpg
3 Meltagunner conversions. Ok, while I do think the meltagun has that gritty practical look to it, one that's not designed to please the eye, to me it still looks like a bolter and a flamer got really drunk one night. So I wanted something more fitting of the high-tech army. One idea was to make them into las-cutters, which by FW rules are counts as meltaguns.

But then I remembered the Gravitational Beam Emitter from Blame!, also available in rifle size. Well, the look of the model isn't exactly the same as the weapon itself, but the idea is the same. Anyway, as the name says, the gun emits a beam of gravitational energy, or something, and comes with varied settings from your basic head remover to monster cracker, big game hunter and all the way up to 11. 40K has things like graviton guns and conversion beamers, so I'm sure somesort of matter annihilating gravity bender has a place in there.

And before someone gets to say "That don't look Imperial!", well, how do you know what it looks like beneath that outter shell? You do know that the muzzle on the current Imperial flamers look pretty much like the old ones, they just slapped the grill over it (I think I've seen some cutaway that showed it). Some sheet metal or composite covering will alter the look of any weapon, and protect it too.

Ok, models. Scout legs, Scout head, Cadian sergeant head and Cadian arms and torsos. The kneeling guy's bionic hand is from Phoenix Club resin kit, as are the chick's torso and head. The guns are made from sprues.

And as a final word, I really suggest Blame! for everyone, even if you're not into this whole anime/manga stuff. I don't much care for mangas, preferring mainly British and French ones, but Blame! was really cool. Anyone who likes mind blowing stuff, have a look. And it's not that Japanese in drawing style either, reminding me more of various French comics, like Laureline and Valerian. Oh, and Hotel, that's one great one too.

Kroot Hunters:
http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n418/Mr...wcg-kroot-1.jpg
Just snapped a shot with some of the kroots and their shaper. They're actually not mine, just some that I got in a trade, but I'm thinking of fixing them up a bit. I like the guy about to sink its beak into some long-pig.

Big-game hunting in a pocket-sized addition - tell your friends! And gitt 'em too! Blame! does seem pretty interesting. Your interpretation of that rifle seems to need a little 'sprucing' up. Maybe even just some sights on top or something. Though a suitable paint job would probably help anyhoo.

Also, interesting use of that Ape. I turned both of mine into flying-ship-things for space-critters or something. Haven't finished them just yet.

And that 'boom stick' . KASPLOSION Imminent!

Facial tattoo, eh? What's it like?

Veeery nice! I like those guys alot!
That 'Straken' girl looks good with that seriously oversized hammer thingy
Oh and yes, Blame! rocks.

Catgirls!? ME WANT 'EM!!!! =^.^=

Howzabout nowz?

Added a graviton primer from Tau Fusion Blasters and a multi-spectral optical acquisition device from the IG HW kit.

I know the first version might have been a little... "Bland". Have I ever mentioned that I'm a minimalist of a sort? I like simple things.


Anyway, I better post this thing up here too, just to be safe:

There's a story behind this one. It's the bottom of a washing machine package that a friend bought while moving to his now apartment, and I snatched it as retribution of my help, seeing clearly what to do with it. It doesn't take much imagination to see a cheap piece of good terrain coming out of this thing. GW can take their new Planetstrike junk and shove it, I got all I'll ever need right here.

I'm thinking something along these lines, but that's just a rough sketch. I have piles of spare hatches, consoles, etc. to put into project. Hopefully when it's done, it'll be as awesome as this.

Like a tattoo. On your face.

Working on it. I don't have the model yet, but I know she'll be an abhuman medic.

Will it be a stock model of some sort or will you sculpt parts of it?
Check out the cat ears I made for one of my Necro gangers:

Stock, which I might alter once I get it. It'll be an Infinity Daktari. Give her an olive drab clothing and neon colour hair, and she's ready to treat those serious injuries with overacting and excessive crying.
