Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I was looking at west wind production's british heads http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=130_181&products_id=1089 I have two questions. 1. will they work with standard cadian guardsmen 2. in what other ways should I change my guardmen to make them look more like a trench warfare force Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 How are your greenstuff skills? Trenchers need trenchcoats! Otherwise, I think they'd look good covered in dirt and grime. A lot of the same methods you'll find for the Death Korps of Krieg should translate well as it's the same idea, just... the other side of No Man's Land.

steellegionnaire85 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think you could pull it off with little to no trouble. It's got alot of potential.

Carraigf Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'd Take a look at privateer press cygnar trenchers for some inspiration. Maybe add some heavier armour and raiding weapons, spiked clubs,picks, axes etc,and mud, lots of it ☺ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/#findComment-4026422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I just found this line of models by wargames factory. This would take care of the trenchcoats, I could put british heads on these guys, paint them up like DKOK and they would look nice http://wargamesfactory.com/webstore/alien-suns/shock-troops-sci-fi-greatcoat-troopers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/#findComment-4026771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 will the heads fit on these models? As for greenstuff skills, I have never used it before, and it seems to be outside my skill level Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/#findComment-4026946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 these are not british heads, but they are much cheaper than the british gasmasks http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_reviews.php?cPath=126_149&products_id=1137 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/#findComment-4026954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I found some really nice british gasmask heads that are pretty cheap http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_149&products_id=1139 these are the exact look I was going for. The bretonnian's look really cool, but I am using a lot of heavy weapons in my list, and do not see a way to make them work using heavy weapons. I was looking at the website for west wind and found these http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=126_149&products_id=1525 I was thinking I could use these for veteran and command squad heads. I was wondering how I should paint the greatcoat troopers. If I am honest I hate the way the shock troops are painted in the pictures. How do you think I should paint them to make them look better? Finally should I replace their weapons with Cadian lasgun arms?

Marshal Argos Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 will the heads fit on these models? As for greenstuff skills, I have never used it before, and it seems to be outside my skill level Yes the heads will fit pretty good. They need some trimming on the bottom, but for the most part they're pretty good. I use Westwinds WW2 German Para helmets on my IG. here's a pic of them on GW's Cadians. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2539/3884543247_60ca3c3745_o.jpg As for the gas mask heads, I think I've seen those used before, and they always appeared a bit small. I'll have to see if I can find the pics again.

Guardsman1275 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 They seem to fit pretty well in the pictures I have found online. I would post a picture but for whatever reason the website is not letting me. Anyways the heads should look good on the greatcoat troopers if they fit on regular guardsmen since they are the same size and parts can be swapped between them. In fact I will probably switch out their weapons for lasguns if I get the money to buy enough lasgun's Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306940-britishtrench-warfare-imperial-guard/#findComment-4027128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
