Ok, so I am in the midst of collecting a good drop troops army and my ellites are filled with Hardened Vetrans, and when I build them I really don't want to use the bland basic guardsman model, I was hoping to make them unique and stand out easily as a true vetran squad of the guardsmen.
So, on that note, I wanted to ask if anyone here can give some suggestions, or even post a few pics of there conversions so I can get a basic idea of what I might want to do with these guys.

Catachan bits and green stuff should do the trick.

Maybe you could have a normal cadian and give him Space marine shoulder pads as though he took them from a dead SM for extra protection.

Also, one more thing, according to the Codex, Veteran and Kaskin squad numbers begin with a zero zero

Sorry, I think you might have misunderstood me (or I`ve misunderstood you) I meant the 3 digit number on their shoulderpads usually begin with 00, then a randon number. for example a veteran squad made up of the remains of 4 platoon might be given the number 004 on their shoulder pads. Also, HQ squads have a skull as the central digit.

yeah, they look great, maybe an idea wif the hardened vets is like get some catachan heads and like some smurf heads and stuff and put them on the cadians, you can get some heads on www.battlewagon-bits.comim not sure if that link is right but oh well. |

I use 6 HV's to a squad.One is the sgt, 3 are special weapons and 2 are the heavy weapons team.I see no reason to take more than this becouse you can't take any more of the good weapons.Take something hard hitting too like a missile launcher,a few plasma guns, grenade launcher...things like that.Unless you want them to infiltrate really close then use flamers but then don't use the heavy weapons becouse they are going to die fast being charged...
