Cloud in the skies.

Well i've been working on the guard slowly but surely as all my work actually. But working with mostly all catachan parts gets a bit difficult when you want to make your troops are varied as possible.

I've taken a pic or two of the two more units done (bringing me up to about 45 infantry). I've ttried to givem the sarges Lasgun carbines (not teh best but simple conversions). I figured the carbines which we light (shorter barrel) and less bulky (no stock) could run as both lasgun and/or shotgun if i needed it.





I even made my commander, nothing really special but i wanted him not be in the thick of fights rather just directing them and for moral support. His wargear will be nothing fancy probs just a Power Weapon and CCW. I've run into the dilemma of wether or not i should give command sections mroe than 1 special weapon? i want them to be mobile for a mini counter attack (vrs depleted units). But i could see the light of why to include 2 of the same special weapon (everything but the flamer has abouta 50% of hitting).



i'm still toying around with teh doctrine system and trying to see exactly whats units will get what abilities. So i can't make heads or tails out of it yet. I want to try and push for atleast 1k pts to play with in teh beginning but when are you looking at models that are 6pts a piece its somewhat hard.

I'm bidding on Ebay to look for another Catachan Battleforce box which will help me fill out a few holes for missing men (command sections and what have you). I've been thinking of using Close Order Drill, Light Infantry, Drop Troops and Iron Discipline so far can't think of what i want for the last doctrine, i think ill switch i want to do vets ands pecial weapons, but dont have the sprues/guys enough to do it. Atleast for now so i'm going to have to scounge up some things t o see what i CAN do.

Im going to GenCon in Indy on Wed so i will be back in about 1 1/2 weeks! As hectic work schedule and frantic packing has me all tied up. Just wanted to update so everyone out there doens't lose faith and think i'm ditching the whole blog thing. Well i'm off ill see everyone later
