Pirate Shock Troopers

These are the end game elite bad guys from the unwanted attention chart. The longer the game continues the better the chance that these guys will turn up to see what all of the noise is about.
I was going to use the two Purge Devastator models from Core Space but it looks like I’ll need a lot more than just two models. The miniatures I did use were scavenged from my original copy of Kill Team. I got the box set when it first came out mainly for the terrain, I never even touched the miniatures, they were still on the sprues. I used the bodies and weapons of the genestealer cult and the heads of the Mechanicus models. I removed a few marks here and there and drilled out the occasional hand as some of them were claws rather than fingers.

I’m pretty happy with the result. The entry in the Stargrave book calls for combat armour which I imagine to be quite bulky. I think these models just about do but I think long term plans would be to demote these models to regular pirate troopers with heavy armour when I get something even heavier looking maybe like the Enforcers from Mantic Games Deadzone https://www.manticgames.com/games/deadzone/enforcers/

Next I plan to paint some old Citadel chaos cultist models armed with rifles as my Pirate Troopers.
