    Default vets parts? model choice help!

    hello again.

    i am going to enter GD or mini-GD and haven't quite decided on a model ! (yes it in like 20 days, yes i do have a LOT of free time!)

    now my strengths are:
    cloth
    NMM
    freehand !!!
    power armour

    sadly after a fire prisim and swooping hawks my funds are not doing too well so its a £10 limit on models
    so after trolling gw for AGES i have narrowed it down to

    with a bit of plasticard rod i could make a cool silencer ! ( think SAS style) however does anyone know if the studded shoulder and head are separate pieces

    then there's

    and
    [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440176a&prodId=prod1060 048&rootCatGameStyle=[/url]

    which id just paint up (and sculpt a cloak and give him a silencer, iron halo and banner)

    and the final SM

    [url]https://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1060047&rootCatGameSt yle=[/url]

    whod get a cloak, scilencer and a iron halo!

    and THE final option:

    [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440168a&prodId=prod1690 031&rootCatGameStyle=[/url]

    is the coolest imho- if you had another model from, your collection running at him it would be a cool diorama. Otherwise I would recommend converting one of them up as a standard bearer to play up cloth and free hand.

    my least favourite is the lightning claw one.
    More Necromunda please.

    I agree, [URL="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440176a&prodId=prod1060 048&rootCatGameStyle="]this[/URL] is the best one of the lot. Lightning claw is the least interesting, and is kind of awkwardly posed.

    The aiming veteran is a model you don't see very often, so that's a huge plus.

    Do a Legion of the Damned Model. That would be a good test of your abilities!
