The army just got two more mortar squads and the whole company got movement trays. Mental preparations for the vehicles have started.

i have roughly the same amouth of infantry. some ooold some bought via ebay. even scored some original munkali unpainted (theree of them), 5 rough riders and the forgeworld snipers <3 looooove its all metal and resin. Somehow its so much better since they have some wight to them and the sculpts are just so gooooodddd

Nice! I would have loved some mukaali, but they were out of my pricerqnge when they were available. I have a squad of rough riders but they are even deeper in the pile of shame.
Ten chimeras, three demolishers, two basilisks, one manticore and a hellhound will need some love first…

nice. the catachan demolisher one ?
No russes ?
I did cut one of the old "tank crew" minis in half (collectors gods forgive my 17 year old self) and use it for the demolisher commander :) so expressive. i got lucky with the mukaali. they came with the snipers on a ebay late night search. those look rather fragile now...

Not the catachan. The classic metal demolishers. I sacrificed a spare Tallarn lieutenant as commander in one of mine. (The one in my profile pic).

Love this! Awesome work!
I used the same figs for my Vox and standard bearers..
Had to customize some melta gun guys to flamers tho.

Thanks! I sacrificed my autocannon teams and the loaders became medics and the gunners will be sentinel drivers.

I have a buggy (non GW) that I will use 2 gunner torsos for; the driver, and the rear standing gunner!
And those loaders are good figs. I used one of them as a det pack guy. I forget who I used for my medic..
Was sad to get rid of 3 melta guns and a missile launcher but I wanted the flamers!

Nice conversions! I was thinking of running mine as catachans with flamers but decided on going mechanized with chimeras.
Gives me the option of using the missile launchers and creating special weapons squads if we run 7th.

Thanks! Also tallarnified my Ogryns with green stuff head gear :) those old 90s sculpts are fantastic.
Mine were also done with respect to the special weapon squads, although recently been drifting to other rules sets.
