Traitors

The war seems endless. After millenia of fighting, the carnage in insurmountable. Who's side am I on? What am I fighting for? Common questions in a war that has waged for so long. It might be time to switch sides...

Tonight I am starting the process of converting my IG (yes all 6500 pts of them) to traitors. After being a loyalist for so long, (and admitedly, after reading so many stories about Traitors in the Space Wolf novels) my guardsmen have decided to defect.

Granted most of the work will simply be new paintjobs for the humans, but veterans and sergeants will be getting the full mutie' makeover. I have a handful of Zombie heads from the fantasy range that should work nicely for a squad a warp-time veterans (or nurgle loyal vets, we'll see).

Planning on doing the ol' Beastman heads for some Khornate loyalist vets as well.

The biggest hurdle to cross is going to be colour scheme. While the veterans will be doing their own things, the platoon(s) will be sticking to a colour scheme.

So far I'm thinking a dirty yellow for the cloth, and a dark grey for armor. In my head this sounds cool...but who knows until the test model is done right?

I will post some pictures this weekend as the work begins.
