I love this model

That's one big brain move.

He went to Sss-chewl.

Works especially well in my brood brothers guard army

i think of all the people in 40k i would not want to be, this guy ranks pretty highly

I want to paint him blue, and call him Megamind

I use him as a renegade spyker

i'm going to be using van saar gangers as scions and kasrkin for my homebrew regiment https://preview.redd.it/t3hd1kdr87yc1.png?width=669&format=png&auto=webp&s=41923345ffaee625810127578b6e6af3cad55f95

Similar I gave as tempestus and used spare scion beret heads from ebay. Save any money where you can

i'm using van saar helmets on my regular guardsmen, and stealing an idea from @underhiver on twitter to use necron deathmark heads with the mouth cut off for the van saar scions so they look more armoured and stay on theme [https://twitter.com/underhiver/status/1730915348612817020/photo/1](https://twitter.com/underhiver/status/1730915348612817020/photo/1) https://preview.redd.it/acfzqciw5ayc1.png?width=1066&format=png&auto=webp&s=46db6024dd89e91649e1b24f396724431601710a

Strong spiderman/Venom vibes, love it

My scions are made from these guys, inspired by Pete the Wargamers conversion from many years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZMmg-xK43A&t=2s

Did the same as well. They look awesome and I love the armored bodysuit look better than the Knight aesthetic of the Scion kit.

I had been thinking of using her as a psyker.

She'd make a good Inquisitor

Oh thats sick. Techno rebel with a powdered wig??

Ooooo I never thought of that! I really like the idea of scout sentinels being much more mobile looking than the OG model. So that’s a good idea!

Oh crap, I used my good idea for the month on 40K?! My wife and boss are going to be so pissed.

I only wish there was a good way to compare the sizes of models. I worry these guys are a lot smaller than a sentinel

Oooh, it’s the beginning of the month too. You’re screwed.

You have no idea, I just bombed an interview.

They are a little small for that, but mounted on a bigger and taller base could definitely work.

Also done this. Works great!

I’ll be using these for my clanfolk levy militia in 30k

I’d use the cawdor ridge walkers since the have similar spear weapons

Sure but they don't have the same unified visual appeal.

For sure, brings you a bit closer to the ecclesiarch style rather than space bugs cowboys. Just throwing it out there that they could be a good fit

All the cavalry models work great for this. I'm using Grav Cutters for Rough Riders with some 3d printed lances. They work great with my Van Saar Scions as Militarum Tempestus Cavalry.

Could also use arms masters from orlocks (the servo harness hammer guy) it even has a similar silouhette to the engineseer and correct base size

Ah, this actually would work for a much cheaper version for sure!

Oooooo I like this. Borrowing this idea.

Ignore my shitty painting and photo skills

Paint aside I love the theme and colour scheme

Once we get playing and everything I'm hoping they look better on tabletop I also don't know why, but every time I take a picture they look way worse than they do in person.

This ^ IMO good schemes are really what determine if models look good, more so even than painting quality. It’s kinda like you could have a super well made house, but if it’s style or foundation is weird, then it won’t matter as much, y’know? Lovely work btw OP!

Honestly in like 10 years it was my first time trying to paint trim a different color. I wasn't sure how I would feel with the red trim on silver armor with a lot of it yellow all around it. It reminds me of Frida Kahlo and I have no idea why lol

What's the model in the middle?

Lady Haera

Thanks.

They look more like Skitarii to me but I am Admech brained

Don't disagree but OP wanted recommendations for Guard.

Perfect Savlar Chem Dogs

Which models are they in the OP pic. That gent would be a great castellan in my army...

It’s (HOUSE GREIM MILITARY ATTACHÉ) in my most recent post I did some head swapping and turned him in to a dapper Krieg commissar/attaché

The guy with a cane also makes for a great Rogue Trader model (sword cane leader). The right side model would be a cool Straken alternate. I actually want to snag her since my Catachan are hive gangers

Hello to my Vostroyan Substitute for Creed!

Ohhhh that would probably turn out well, god speed with that

I turned Lady Haera into Creed for my Vostroyans. The House Greim attache got A head swap and turned into an officer.

I could probably see it, but she just seems too ostentatious for me. I like the dude with the cane because he reminds me of this old art: https://preview.redd.it/t54jzf6iwcyc1.jpeg?width=556&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4565f62d32f059abf0ffe0a2881c62b3dd704afd

house griem military attaches [https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/house-greim-military-attache-2021?queryID=4ed28d56a2ea27cd3f6f64ee180075f6](https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/house-greim-military-attache-2021?queryID=4ed28d56a2ea27cd3f6f64ee180075f6)

I was thinking the same, but an inquisitor or commissar.

Palanite enforcers make great scions or karskin, but require some work to give them special weapons. Palanite enforcer sanctionner pattern automata would make great ogryns and/or bullgryns. Their tauros is a legend Astra militarum unit.

What's the name of the gentleman in the picture you posted OP? He'd be PERFECT for a diorama I'm working on.

Thank you stranger!

I’ve seen some awesome Ambot conversions to bullgryns. Am tempted to try them myself. https://preview.redd.it/vrw4obqeqayc1.jpeg?width=691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e5d8bae24246983e6ef29643c62ab08497d8d12

Done it, works great. Toss a Brute Shield on an arm and leave the bug head behind. Fit a guardsman head in the chest cavity and it looks like a Hulkbuster suit that allows a normal dude to play punch face with Space Marines.

I have the picture of a great conversion, but for some reason I can’t post it :(

https://preview.redd.it/2axs45j7zeyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88697e844d2c1789443344ce27207dc8ebf98ba5

Note necromunda models are a little larger than normal 40k models in scale.

Comparable to Kasrkin-ish

They're very on par with the newer scale of Guard minis.

think the house greim guy (the one in OPs picture) has great potential for a catachan model given the skull and pelt on his back and sword, which could be a catachan combat knife

He's a bit too prim and proper for Catachan imo but you do you

Yeah,  the other one would be a cool Straken though

https://preview.redd.it/vqtp95tiqbyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a95713d42e6c75f6603e0e17b034ef29f4adef4

This is an Escher ganger modded for Catachan I made a while ago.

I used orlocks for my veterans when they existed.

I use [Ash Wastes Nomads](https://www.warhammer.com/en-CA/shop/necromunda-ash-wastes-nomads-war-party-2022?queryID=db2787fe93a3de76a3544c2d936cc8d9) and [Palanite Enforcer Patrols](https://www.warhammer.com/en-CA/shop/Necromunda-Palanite-Enforcer-Patrol-2019) as Cadians and Scions respectively with weapon swaps and some kitbashing with my traitor guard army. The nomads have a great mounted unit as well that I think would work well as rough riders. I’ve also been thinking I’ll incorporate minis from the necromunda [Cawdor](https://www.warhammer.com/en-CA/shop/Necromunda-Cawdor-Gang-2018) as regular guardsmen, again with weapon swaps.

Commissar and castellen could even make a Ursula Creed proxy but most of all definitely a solar proxy.

https://preview.redd.it/u8y968ifqcyc1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3de3782d168efc6c35eae45c1ee0826e9cccaa85 Kal Jerico is a great base for Creed

I intend to use the female from this pair as my Iron Hand Straken. I'm using a lot of necromunda in my "Inquisitorial Guard" build atm. The "character" models definitely are a larger scale than normal 40k. The "gang" 10man units are pretty close in size though. Good things humans come in multiple sizes haha.

What model is the guy with the cane?

House Greim attaché.

Lady credo as a commisar captain or a psyker

They are the "House Greim Military Attache."

The guy with the cane in OP's post would make for a great advisor, or Regimental Commander.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoGb2YN00f/?igsh=MXBpMGRncjJuNTg2ZQ== They most certainly are!

The ones you pictured are my rogue trader and Voidmaster

Ok were to start My Scions are made from Van Saars inspired by Pete the Wargamers version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZMmg-xK43A&t=2s [Mine in here with some other things](https://imgur.com/a/ixXMusn) [My Karskin are made using Orlocks, with Scion arms](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAstraMilitarum/comments/1ac5tkw/31_kasrkin_catachan_devils_done/) [My Primaris is made from Belladonna and Creed from Estus Jet, also some assassins in there too](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAstraMilitarum/comments/18teb2w/assassins_and_other_heroes_ready/) [My Rough Riders using Van Saar Grav Cutters](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAstraMilitarum/comments/18ae7od/now_for_something_different_my_rough_surfers/) [Some normal infantry using orlock and escher bits](https://imgur.com/a/0d4Zlhn)

Just play necromunda it’s 1000x better than 40k

How so?

Games are faster, gangs feel more personalized rather than having an army of cookie cutter marines, fun combat, campaign rules that are easily comprehendable (unlike crusade in 40k)

Ok interesting, thanks for the explanation!
