From MikeF - 20x Tyrant’s Legion Armsmen - 20x 28mm - 100 points

 My first post was for the Empire theme and was the command squad for my Tyrant's Legion army. My next entry are 2 squads of Armsmen. Armsmen are basically equivalent to Imperial Guard and are armed in a similar manner. For the armsmen I used the excellent Raumjager infantry from Wargames Atlantic. To give them a little 40k treatment, I replaced the heads with some Rogue Trader inspired heads from Mad Robot Miniatures. Wargames Atlantic is definitely the most cost effective way to add lots of infantry. For $55 CAN, You get 24 models in a box which was enough for the command squad and 2 squads. 

Squad with flamer and missile launcher. The Sgt has a shotgun and knife from the genestealers cultist kit.


Squad with heavy stubber and missile launcher. The Sgt is pointing and holding a lasgun.

20 x 28mm miniatures for 100 points.

Thanks for visiting!

Fine looking squads here Mike, even if I am totally out to sea as what these are!  (I am basically hard of 40K-ing, although I own a few Space Orcs so that I can wreak havoc on our group's rare games).  I appreciate the kit bashing that you've done and there's some nice subtle shading in the drab uniforms and webbing.  I also love the missiles lying around on the ground, and the grim basing ground work style that you've come with.

  1. Great work Mike! The combo of the Mad Robot heads with these Wargames Atlantic bodies creates an excellent "alternate" Imperial-Army looking soldier. Great paint work helps too!

  2. Wonderful work, Mike. I really like seeing other variants of planetary defense forces that rhyme with the Imperium but are still their own 'thing'. Really nice brushwork.
