Sludge Raider - Melta Gunner

Image
  The melta gunner for the Chirton Maggot Sludge Raiders is now recruited. The melta is an awesome weapon in Kill team, the mortal wounds are unstoppable and just great at melting elites. With the Gaze of the gods on this dude you can smash in 4MWs without effort. He's a must take operative. Here is my gunner, started off with a Knucklebones flamer and chopped most of that stuff off.

Wow, these creations have the sludge factor; dank, dirty, analogue, organic. I knew I had to have some. I joined the tribe and started to plan my team. A full kill team roster needs 20 figures, so that's what I plan to make. Knucklebones has some decent figures to base some simple conversions on. I'm going to use the modular melee troopers as the main base prints, with mirrors to give me a selection of eight base bodies and loads of arms. The Enfields will be my Lasguns (Lesguns) and there are nasty melee weapons a plenty. I've used the flamer as my base for heavy weapons, painting one straight up as a flamer. I'm also, building a plasma and melta and I've not yet decided on the grena
