I've switched over to working on my guard - the 3rd/4th Valarian Armored All Terrain Rangers. I intend them to be a light armor force, with the final build being something like 1 infantry platoon with solid heavy weapons, a couple of vet and command squads in Chimeras, a penal squad, 2 devil Dogs, 2 sentinels, a russ, a bassy and a universal carrier. The devil dogs, Heartbreaker and Promethia are converted from $5 walmart tanks, (Panzer IIs I believe), the bassy has been cut down for a more tank hunterish look. Also pictured are some command figures, and the penal squad - made up of malcontents, tau sympathizers, mutants, and xenos left over from my guard's days working as Tau Auxiliaries and Lost and the Damned. I have a whole history worked out that I will post up along with the minis from each stage (someday). Currently working on some stormtroopers and line infantry (the Devil dogs are painted, just can't find the camera). I've played two 1000 pt games vs tau and orks, with two victories - the Ork one being a grim slaughter (Devil Dogs with heavy flamers can mess up just about anything...)
