Hello all!
In the coming weeks, I will be starting my year long quest of putting together a Traitor/Renegade Guard army. While I have not even begun to consider what I want in the list, the one thing I know I will need a lot of is guardsmen! So this is what I'm asking.
My idea in so far is to use a healthy combination of WFB Zombie bits, Cadians, Catachans, and the all so wonderful and beautiful FW Renegade torsos. While each individual squad (if not platoon) will have the same over-all look/feel/theme, I was just wondering if anyone else had any other kits they would suggest to mix things up. I may throw in a squad or two of SL just because they're great as well.
I have a few simple modeling ideas, but the overall theme of the army when it comes to tread is "Death to the False God" painted across here and there. One other thing I thought would be interesting to show the fall of the guardsmen is that I will not physically remove the aquila's from helmets, tanks, etc, but rather I plan on taking a simple knife and scoring a line through them, or X's, or something else to show that the Emperor that man-kind dies in droves for is wasteful and useless.
I'll being doing a full back story, and probably end up with a blog documenting this all. I wasn't anticipating starting this until NEXT year, but I became so infatuated with the Renegade models from FW I want to start now.
At least my SW are built..now to paint them while I begin my bitz collecting!
