The Grenadiers are formed

The Grenadiers are formed

Even after spending most of my free time this weekend working on one of my commissions I still managed to start work on my Grenadier squad (Stormtroopers/Veterens). I've been looking forward to starting these guys ever since I saw the max mini great coat legs. I wanted to make them stand out from the rank and file whilst staying within the theme of the army. Therefore I went with the decision to make them Guardsmen+, essentially the same as the rest of my guys but with extra/better equipment. The base was, of course, the max mini greatcoat legs. To this I added a standard Cadian torso and arms. Instead of the basic west wind production head I went for the more techy looking Kromlech ones. I also added a pipe from the lasgun to the backpack. I finished off with some greenstuff cuffs to complete the great coat look and to add extra shoulder plates. Here are the first two guys, a sergeant and normal grenadier. I'm looking forward to completing the squad.


Starting the heavy weapons team

Starting the heavy weapons team

As well as my guardsmen I have also been working on a heavy weapons team. The auto cannon has been mounted on a wheeled carriage taken from a 1/72 scale German field wagon. I felt that it fitted in much better with the WW1 theme than the tripod did.

My inspiration for the cannon came from the British 13 pounder field gun and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
