Just in case you didn't know about them, the Helghans are the victims in the FPS KillZone games, where their entire ethnicity is forced into extreme collectivism by the cruel and inhuman treatment meted out by the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance.
Anyway, this is my take on them for the tabletop.
There's a mix of FW Elysian arms with Accatran pattern las rifles on mostly Anvil with a few Victoria Lamb bits.
And bulky troopers, who without head swaps this time, fit the Helghan aesthetic well, IMHO.
So the light wasn't brilliant when I took these photos, it was about 15 o'clock on a very grey and cloudy early January day and already looking like the daylight had just glanced around, thought "feck this" and begun to pack up for the day.
So there are five squads of ten. Although each squad has an LMG and a Heavy Stubber as well as a GL. And four squads of seven Bulkytroopers with two special weapons in each team.
Like em.

Always thought the 'bulky troopers' were one of GW's best sets of sculpts. Used to have about 30 of them myself. Bit of seller's remorse on those. Just hope I was cast strapped at the time rather than I sold them in a fit of stupidity...
ReplyDeleteYou were absolutely skint, mate. Totally brassic. You've never made a poor decision in your life.
DeleteThey look awesome, and extra points from me for those heavy stubbers! I always felt like they should have been the Heavy Bolter of the Guard.
