In an attempt to build up my GS skills (because one day I may have a whole army of these guys) I have decided to try to model a Skitarii. I'll I have right now are some cadian bitz. If any one has any thoughts suggestions or any tips on this project it would be much appreciated. a picture for those like me who had no clue what a Skitarii was ![](http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx38/farry_01/admechwip0pz.jpg) EDIT: THESE ARE NOT MINE ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) but i wish they were ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) i put it here for a visual reference so people like me who had never heard of Skitarii until this showed up in my inbox a day or two ago could see what they look like when molded by pros...

Well for the shoulder pads and the flat plates on front I would use styrene tube stock and flat stock. Other than that, yeah, greenstuff. Those are the best Skitari that I have seen.

Very nice, guardsmen. As for suggestions, maybe Necron parts for bionics? Somebody recently posted something on here using Necron arms for bionics and they looked pretty good. And seeing as Skitarii are the fighting arm of the Adeptus Mechanicus, they wouldn't look too out of place. EDIT: On further inspection, it was you who posted about using Necron parts as bionics guardsmen. My bad ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I love those Skitarii, I can't remember whos they were. I remember finding a picture of a fare-sized force that he made, all looking like that. I don't know how he had the time to convert everyone. Hoobs are simple enough, those look like pretty good greenstuffed heads does anyone recongnize them from somewhere?

Wait one second i DIDNT make those for those of you that were confused however i wish i had ;D.... a friend sent me this picture and said why dont your guardsmen look this cool..............so i decided to give it a try......I wish i had some elf bitzs......If any one knows a collector of elves out there that has extra leg bitzs let me know.
the only sheet styreen i have on hand currently is the really thick stuff so as soon as i get a picture up you get to guess what it was i used to make them with ;D
EDIT: I found some one who made these guys out of men at arms so Im going to try that....

As soon as I read skitarii, I immediatly thought roman....I open the page and what do I see? Classic roman armour.
Color me impressed if you can make anything look half as good ;D

Skitarii are essentially the IG unit stationed on Mars.
