Sounds like a fun conversion job . But don't overdo it with the weapons. Carring to many weapons is a bit much (duel carbines, etc.) I would think Specail Opps troops would only carry what they need for the job, keeping it light and mobile.

lol have you got star wars battlefront 2 by any chance? and i regognise the sniper from some pc game to but i cant think which ???

good ideas though and i dont think twin pulse carbines are excessive

[pandastrike3]

yeah cheers guys and i totaly agree with carrying minamum equiptment

also im haveing second thoughts about the jetpacks

any cool ideas for parts to use?

[Tashvar Myen Jkaara]

um, the only one i could think of would be for man no. 4

one of comissar guants men is huge with big muscles and a heavy bolter. if you could somehow convert the hands, head and feet it might work but i reckon this would be pretty difficult

[pandastrike3]

yeah i was thinkin of useing some catachan arms with tau fatigues green stuffed on and makeing some extra armor for him.

ive already made a model in a previous conversion holding a plasma rifle from a xv8. i will post the picture on here when i get home.* 8)

[pandastrike3]

ok here is the model i spoke about above



Shame about the paint job though i did it some time ago

[highwindsmith]

Just take some chaos black spray paint and start over. if your going to do special ops, then my opinion on the paint scheme should be camo of some kind. keep the jetpack idea and use the xv15 battle suits.

[Vyrion]

I have three FWs that I have with Carbines, cut off the Grenade Laucnher parts, painted black with assorted lights, and they're my special ops squad. They have some special rules, but not too many. Their protection from armoured vehicles is speed and stealth.

Sound cool, especially since it is so much like Star Wars Republic Commando. The plasma rifle/cannon guy looks awesome.
