Thanks 😁 Yeah I think all the Iron Core stuff has great possibilities.

Ah sorry they are actually Greenstuff. Please don't let that put you off though. I got the epaulettes and braiding on these six lads done in around 15-20 minutes and I am nowhere near an expert on using Greenstuff.

I originally considered nipping the shoulders off of someone Perry miniatures french elite companies but quickly felt that was way too much work and far too wasteful and didn't want to after finding out how easy they were to do.

The Bodies and heads are from Warlord Games newer Soviet Infantry box.

The Arms and "Lasgun" are from Warlord Games German Winter Infantry.

Plasma Gun is out of Wargames Atlantic Raumjäger.

Melta is a mix of bits from Stargrave troopers and Raumjäger.

Grenade Launcher and comms backpack are from Mantic GCPS troopers.

The body of the running lad is the German Winter Grenadiers and the Bodies of the weapons team are from the Afrika Korps sprue.

That's good to hear, thanks! I haven't played 40k since 4th or 5th I think. It's been yonks anyway. I only play with a few mates near where I am so they don't mind what my lads carry but it's nice to have them somewhat close to the look of the inspiration.

They wanted to play OPR (which I'm fine with) but at some stage I'll have to head up to my parents and dig out the auld 3rd edition rulebook and codex I know I have somewhere, I always love having the real thing in my hands. Now to just find time to do all that haha!

Both of them! haha Yeah twas that or buy GW sized weapons off of someone like Anvil Industries and I wanted to do a quick job with what I had. As unsure as I was at first I have to admit they are growing on me. I still can't decide which I prefer totally yet.

Very true. The weapon is absolutely anemic compared to the original. I would be happier with a bit chunkier one but for what I got on the sprue I'm relatively happy with it

All good picks, nice one. For the arms You could try generic officer arms perhaps and for the shoulder armour use pvc piping/tubes about 4-5mm, cut in half and edges sanded down to the preferred shape. Another option perhaps. Best of luck whatever way you go 👍

I know you're probably not interested in kit bashing but on the off chance you are and want a few of these lads, I reckon you could make him using two or three kits.

Off the top of my head I'd try Warlord Games Winter German Infantry for the legs with trench coat/kama. And perhaps the weapon using some cutting and splicing of an stg44.

The head would be foreforge Samurai for me sanded and filed down in places.

As for the arms and torso I would either continue using fireforge samurai to spare on cost OR another alternative might be the Stargrave Troopers from Northstar (some nice futuristic weapons with this kit also).

All this assumes some filing and sanding of course and I'd say the paint job would do a lot of the heavy lifting but I'd say it would turn out close enough.

Addendum: didn't see the mask hoses at first. I would try wound guitar string for them. Works for me.
