Last Chancers Cannon Fodder Conversions

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the opportunities presented by the Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder set are legion...Penal Legion.

Having built and painted a 20 strong Penal Legion squad, I have decided to go for a 3rd Ed Last Chancers inspired Cannon Fodder squad.

Using bits from 40K, Stargrave and other WA kits, a start has been made.


So far I have from left to right, converted versions of Shiv, Hero, Scope, Demolition Man, Grease Monkey, Brains and Animal.

Shiv has an Imperial Guard plasma pistol along with a Primaris combat knife to represent his close combat weapon.


Hero has both the laspistol and rifle along with a Marine Scout scabbard to represent a sword.  The peaked cap is from the Cadian Command Squad.


Scope is armed with the sniper rifle from the Victoria Miniatures Kill Team accessory sprue.


Grease Monkey has an Imperial Guard Bolt Pistol along with a spanner hand a and spare spanner from a Stargrave set.


Demolition Man's demo charge is a spare case from a Stargrave set.


Brains is equipped with an Wargames Atlantic Einherjar Comms set and a datapad hand from Stargrave.


Animal has a Scions meltagun and a spare sword in scabbard from a Les Grognards kit.


 Not constructed yet are Fingers and Ox.  For Ox I'm looking for either a suitable large figure or a smaller Heavy Bolter type weapon.  Warrior Woman and Rocket Girl will need to wait for the Cannon Fodder 2 box but I will be using one of the rocket/ missile launchers from a Stargrave set.
