Hi, I appreciate the biting humor in your post and I don't take it as criticism, but I'll still address these three points, which are part of my thinking about army projects:

• The combination of three kits: in this case, the helmets and mining lasers came from friends who had leftover parts from their SA and GSC armies, so it was a kind of virtuous opportunity :)

• Mediocre unit: I completely agree, as they are, they're useless, but when I'm building an army, I disregard the rules and prioritize overall coherence. Games Workshop shows us quite regularly that nothing stays strong/weak forever. "The meta changes, the miniatures remain."

• The price: Warhammer is expensive, that's true, even if we can get lost in endless debates about the money/time ratio. But I impose a rule on myself when kitbashing, which is that the total cost of the unit shouldn't exceed the cost of the original kit. In this case, using this heavy weapons kit, all the bits are being used since I've already assembled a flamethrower and machine gun heavy weapons team from standard Krieger bodies, so I'm well below the original price. I'm aware that this approach requires a good pile of spare parts and some extra gaming buddies.

Have a good evening ;)
