Hades Hive Hyenas - Savlar Chem Dogs WIP Kill Team

Managed to almost finish a Heavy Weapons Team yesterday. Just needs highlights and basing, then it'll be done!

ohhh did you magnetise the gun? that's a good idea!

[CoffeeGrunt]

Yeah, attached to the tripod and the body of the gun. The crew are also magnetised to the base for easy transport and as Wound markers. Can fit a whole Kill Team in a small tupperware box with bubble wrap.

My Chem Dogs recently 'appropriated' an Elysian Tauros, which I'm houseruling into Kill Team as it suited the feel of a scavenger force given how it plays like a technical. Looking at ruling in alternate weapons not used by the standard kit, (Heavy Bolter as a straight swap for the Heavy Flamer, Heavy Stubber at -5pts or perhaps a T-L Stubber for free.) I wanted something that would play more like the Halo Warthog on the tabletop in effect, so a rapid-firing weapon felt right.

Here's the vehicle as it currently stands, just needs the driver painted then I can call it done!

Surprisingly small model in person, but now I'm definitely tempted to get another that's going cheap on EBay, and have them as the fast-moving harassment in my Kill Team. Suits the theme as well, IMO. Here are the alternate weapon loadouts I'll be using in friendly games:

The Short-Barreled Autocannon will be a counts-as for the Tauros Grenade Launcher until I find something more suitable. Tried to get a hot, glowing effect on the spent shells being pumped out of the Heavy Bolter, but I don't think I really achieved it.

Awesome, I love the tauros model anyway, and a great paint job

[Darren Richardson]

that tauros looks great, and yeah I love Halo's Warthog as well....
