I agree, and I'm going to try to figure out a way to do that. If nothing else then maybe I'll put little skull army badges or something...

Thanks!

Yea, FW, it does look a bit small, but mainly because I bulked out the torst and shoulders with Green Stuffs :D

Decent work, I'll upload a tutorial for how to turn the cadian plastics into Kasrkin Grenadiers, if you want to get everything that you need for the conversions I'd suggest that you buy a lot of Kasrkin Backpacks. They should be available from GW still, they're $1.50 a piece.

Hehe, thanks. I've actually got a Stormtrooper conversion planned for my light infantry army that's going to use bolters as the base weapon platform and armor/helmets just like the guy above.

Think this armor style works, or do you have some suggestions? Mind you, he's just a basic guardsmen using the carapace armor doctrine, and I'm not really feeling the block kneepads, haha.

I'm trying for a more distinctive look rather than emulating kasrkin, despite the fact that they are a kick-ass sculpt XD. When're you going to post your Strykers?!? Ever go on to WIP?

Thanks for the reminder on the Strykers, I've had one 98% done for a few weeks but I've been extremely busy. Charging my brand spaking new digi cam to post it later tonight. I'll also post the unpainted version of my Vanessa conversion (Looks exactly like my drawings, plus a loincloth, taken about 16 hours to sculpt.).

Awesome. /excited.

I'd like to see that kasrkin tutorial now that I think about it. Do you do the arm bracers and all? I definitely need some help with anything like that.

Thanks for the compliments btw. :D
