Never one to sit around, how about smashing through a little more of the plastic mountain of shame.
What do I have available? Plenty of Bulldog heads but I've built loads of pith helmetted warriors.
Caps? Yes, but I don't want to rehash the Mordian Iron Guard.
Les Grognards Infantry and Command/ Heavy Weapon models? Check.
Cap wearing, great-coated Imperial Guard? Let's check back through some old Imperial Guard Codex books. How about the Terrax Guard from 2003?
The first trial run models are featured below. These have been built with a selection of the kneeling and standing Les Grognard Command/ Heavy models with Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder lasrifles. I'm not a fan of the actual Les Grognard rifles and those that come with the Bulldogs models aren't a favourite either.Fortunately the weapons of the Cannon Fodder have a suitable not-GW lasrifle feel about them.
The heavy weapons for the Terrax units will utlise spare GW weapons mounted on the wheeled carriage from Les Grognards. I will probablt have no more than three squads of Terrax Guard so they will field one each of a Lascannon, Heavy Bolter Autocannon.
The fun never stops.
