I recently began working on an idea I've had for a while now, a WW1 era British Army themed Imperial Guard army. Not the most original idea I know but still, I really like the look of the historical uniforms. I picked up a Cadian Battleforce as well as some extra bits from Kromlech, West Wind Productions and Pig Iron Productions and got to work. Here is the WIP stuff first:
697069716972
This is one half of an Infantry Squad. The squad features heads from West Wind Productions and backpacks from Kromlech. As well as the extra bits I also added GS shin wraps and shaved the forward sights off the lasgun. The sergeant makes use of one of the Pig Iron Kolony Command Head, I thought the cap would help him to stand out from the rest of the squad. I also made a slight conversion to the Vox Caster, I thought that the vox pack looked a little too techy for the look I was going for. Instead I clipped a couple of aerials from the vox pack and glued them to a Kromlech backpack.
6973
For the heavy weapons team I have used the Auto-cannon team but decided against mounting it onto a tripod. Instead I have created a gun carriage from a 1/72 scale German Wagon. I have drawn inspiration from the WW1 field guns such as the 13 pounder.
