As part of my Ordo Xenos Inquisition project, I planned to have a few Guardsmen using captured wargear. I've collected a few weapons from Orks, Tau, Kroot and Dark Eldar to convert.
First up we have a Guardsman carrying a Tau rifle.
The next project up is the great head swap. West Wind have started to sell some nice packs of heads, 20 for £3, designed for their WWII and Weird War II models, that would look great on some Guardsmen.
Dept Planning (cunning) has decided to use different heads to mark out scouts and veterans. The current plan is green berets for experienced campaigners (better REP troops) and US style forage caps for scouts.
Mark out two Guardsmen per squad as scouts. That's six scouts per platoon, eighteen in the company.
Experienced Campaigners should be randomly spread about the company, use up fifteen berets. Save five for Forge and Iron Companies.
A future project. The 5th are supposed to be a mechanised formation, but lost most of the transports due to a rapid redeployment to join BGIA and not getting replacements from the Departmento Munitorum.
The Imperial Guard being an adaptable lot, they have gained some trucks to use as stand ins.
Also as they are supposed to be combat engineers, some engineering machines, possibly even a ForgeWorld Trojan.
Old Crow looks to be the place to go for these machines. Some six-wheeled Provider transports and a tracked Samson engineering vehicle.
The plan is also to complete I Company's two Sentinel Squadrons, that means four more Sentinels. Two Lascannon and Two Multilaser. I'll think seriously about the Salamanders too. It could be they loose the Sally to H Company to use a Command Vehicle and gain a third Squadron of Sentinels.
