Scouts and Survey Crew

Here is the very very mildly chopped scout with the Level Rod. I have the intentions of placing a Theodolite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite ) in the sniper scout squad. I have 2 scout squads 5 sniper and 5 CCW in a transport short points cost and they get the sweet homer beacons.
(Note that Pic is horrible)

All them Sargents

The Emperor's Local91 is an organized laborers union.Its a Mechanized Adeptus Public Works.
The Sgts. As you have seen all have there CCW, Power weapons replaced with a hand tools. Here is all 4 Sgts. 2 of which I already showed. I have made a bunch of models that I really like for this army. Here are some more. Note. I have been experimenting in the Micro-Magnets. The guy with the bucket swaps Bolt pistol and PlasmaPistole. then "It puts the pistol in the basket"... wee

Naught so bad

I liked the idea of an IronClad. More armor sucks up more fire. It was super fun to convert. Ill be interested in seeing how GW deals with the Extra armor bits and what the seismic hammer turns out to be. Probably a hammer.

Naughts... I put 3 in the List. Only 1 is done and mounted. I did a swap arms on the right weapon Multi-melta to Assault-cannon. Fluff wise in this army Naughts are like the stump-pullers. They are foot-sloggin so they most likely going to suck up some fire in early turns. The 2nd of the 3 is Iron-Clad. A lil conversion work and I painted it so It was super Rusty and Beat-to-Shit. This is common of most equiptment I see in use on jobsites.Here are photos of the Black-Reach Naught ..Ill post the Ironclad later..Cheers

Base Bits

Some picks of the basing gunk.

2nd Squad Squad

The base is xtra corse Pummice from Golden, Plastruct deck plate and an standard electrical nut. Makes em alot more stable and gives it a height, and a tech-ish feel.

2nd Squad

Recognize that storm bolter on the Sgt.
Standard squad 9 troops with Flamer and Launcher. I am totally aware of my mold lines. one of the reasons I have chosen to slow down on this army completion.

Sgt. SteamShovel

I do have a bad case of 90's drybrush and have been told that my colors are too muted and subtle.When I started this project I wanted an Armor save .I had started to think I was rushing myself to get it done, i have slowed the project down quite a bit. Ill get a save when they are ready to come out of the service bay.
Note: Sgt.Steamshovel PlasmaPistol,Power Shovel
