Finally I've started of my Squad!
I haven't completed my list, but the fluff is getting more and more complete in my head and I think the best way to put a squad (warband or army) together by coming up with a good background story or getting inspired to create the models. Rules and tactital decisions mostly come afterwards, that's probably why I'm not winning much.

Anyways, here's the story so far (I will do this by introducing the squad members):

Joe the Barkeep
After serving the Emperor for 12 years as a very skilled soldier, Joe opened up his own bar: "Joe's". This bar was very succesful and well visited. Nowadays, about 30 years later, the local government of the planet has decided that Joe's must be demolished. Because they are planning a whole new weapon factory right on that spot.

One can imagine that Joe is not happy about that, so he as recruited his most trusted visitors (the regulars) to step up...



He's almost complete now, I'm only going to sculpt some short sleeves on his arms to make it more looking as a small jacket. He's wielding the standard bolt pistol and sword, which I hope to upgrade to a power sword later on.

WIN! The fluff is absolute win! And the model is ace, too. Yeah, some sleeves would be good. Give him a scenic base, too!

Thats a cool looking fig Gatlag. Got a bits breakdown for the legs/ potbelly?

awesome fluff, awesome model!

Ace model - encompasses the fluff perfectly - great job!

Laney

I really like the model. Especialy the belly and skullet (skull mullet). Looks great!

Thanks all for the positive comments!

Bits breakdown:
- legs with potbelly => these were from an old ork wartrak driver.
these were attached to (and smoothed with some GS)
- catachan top body (romp?)
- head => comes from the old chaos mutation sprue. Had some knife scraping work on it and created the hulk hogan hair (skulllet ) with GS.
- right arm => chaos marauder
- bolt pistol => chaos marine
- left arm => catachan
- sword => cut beserker chainsword combined with beastmen cleaver. Made an extra hole in it to give it more character (like he lost one of his rings)

And I'm sure planning a nice base for it, don't know exactly what but it'll be urban rubble based or so.

- catachan top body (romp?)

Haha, go Dutchies! It's 'torso', I think.

ohoho, flufftastic

also, the array of used bits and that hair - a mekboy would be jealous

Damn it... I missed this thread!!!!

Very cool! I like the hair... makes him look... rouchy. LOVE IT!

Nice work.

He looks like he is ready for some action.

After some time a small update.

Introducing my Enforcer:

General McLee
This one is a tough cookie and when I say tough I mean a jaw breaking cookie, literally... The General, as he's usually called, has broken someone's jaw once only for the fact that the cookie, served with his coffee, was not his favorite flavor. People said the waiter was lucky that the General had a good day...

General McLee was a long time servant of the Emperor and good one, he has won many battles on his account. Most Emperor servants don't make it to their retirement, the General did and he regrets that. He misses the life and spents all of his time at Joe's drinking and pondering abou the past. The governments weapon factory plan is, although he's not saying it out loud, very welcome to the General. Now he can finally get back in his role and recruit a squad to take action!

I gave him an autogun to start with.


Here a pic of Joe who's almost done


Joe's base in progress


And another project I'm working on

That's a head I think...

And General McLee look's great

HAHAH! The background on The General is awesome... a cookie. HA! Model looks great too! Keep it up man!


PS: What is up with the head? Looks good! Add pointed ears and crooked teeth and you have a GRETCHIN!
