Greatcoats Army




  • Guess these guys are retroactively WGA related. Salvage work on old Proxy imperial guard project from two decades ago. Wargames factory greatcoats, with WGA grognard heads (replacing some old metal heads i'd used back then, which didn't turn out the way i'd wanted), and bits from various places, most now defunct.

    three squads of infantry with one squad leader (with pistol), seven rifelement, and 2 support gunners (were going to be proxy plasma gunners) in each.

     plus a five man command team. two riflemen, two grenaders, and a platoon commander with a bolter.

     

    WGA bases with magnets in them, along with a new armybox made from an old ornament case and some adhesive magnet-receptive rubber sheets.

     if i expand it beyond the three and a half squads, i'll probably use WGA grognards and/or Raumjagers and just kitbash my (very large) supply of spare arms onto them. currently considering some Sentinel walker proxy options to give them a couple vehicles.. eying the one from the 'Marcher' game that's basically a Renault FT on legs. which i can get on Etsy fairly cheap from the licensed seller.

     

    i must say that while i like how the bases are easy to get the magnet in, a 2x1mm magnet doesn't really have much gripping power on the sheet's i'm using. it keeps them from sliding during normal carry but if the box tilts too much it won't keep them in place. i think a wider magnet would have worked better.
