After a somewhat longer crusade in the trenches I'm back at my personal favourite kitbash theme: homebrew Imperial Guard Regiments.
The first Trio is made from leftovers of All my different projects (but more are on the way as I write this). I used Ooh Rah bodies, WW2 Italian heads and upgrade Sprue weapons. In addition to this the leader wields a grognard sabre.
Last but not least a comparison shoot with one of his adversaries. What I like about the more realistic proportions and the less heroic approach is that Astartes really tower over mortals.
@Andreas Mayrhofer Hell, yeah, those look excellent! I agree with you 100% about the proportions. The only thing I like about the Primaris is their size; Astartes should have always been that big.
My Guard Regiment lacks a bit in anti armour capabilities, so I decided to give em some needed AT punch.
I made the AT Team with the usual Ooh Rah, Upgrade sprue and Stargrave parts.
The Plasma Cannon is made from a sponson Gun from a cheap 3D printed tank, cardboard, sprue, rectangular bases, toy wheels and some bits from the bits Box.
These are really amazing! I never would have thought of using those Italian helmets, but they look great (is that ANOTHER box to add to my wishlist...)
