WIP: Discilian Apostates

First two squads of the first platoon

Sheesh, the above figs are jsut a hundred points? Are you kidding me, haha. Anyway, here's my Discilian Apostates I'm working on for my Traitor Guard army. I should jot down their fluff from my dated Eye of Terror codex, but I'll save that for later. I outfitted each squad the same, the Sergeant has a bolt pistol and there's a flamer in each squad. I also put a Vox caster in each squad, just 'cause the big ole radio pack looks neat.

As I mentioned in my planning post, I went with the Arthurian range of heads from West Wind. Shipping from across the pond wasn't too bad, and I'm happy with what I got. I'm going to need more though, this was kind of a test run. I'll need some heads for the platoon command squad, and maybe some heavy weapon squads too.


Squad One ("cool" name to come)


Squad Two


Dos Sergeants

I like the pose on the right quite a bit, it's kind of like he's shouldering through a door or something. The fellow on the left has a cool hooded head too, but you can't tell from the blurry pics. I took regular marine bolt pistols, cut off the back ends, and placed them in the empty hands where I cut away the existing laspistols.


Blurry flamers

I so did not like the flamers that come in the Cadian box. I didn't like the straps, I didn't like the fuel line going to the backpacks, I didn't like the straight left arm...can you tell there wasn't a whole lot I like about them? I do like the marine flamers though, so I took a regular lasgun arm, cut off the gun at the hand, cut the back end off a marine flamer, then just stuck the two halves together, voilà. They came out not too shabby too!


Vox casters

Again, my pics suck, my camera is old, ugh. It's not like I use decent lighting anyway, ahem. Here's a couple of vox casters, I don't even know what they do, but I'm guessing they'll be important with all the new orders being shouted around.


Initial test heads


Hopefully this gives a better look of the hooded heads
