Hey all, I have been messing around with some ideas for an alternate heavy weapons team for a well equipped guard force. What got me thinking is that the heavy weapons teams got combined into a single 'model' on one large 60mm base with 2 wounds. My thought is to model a guardsman with a light exoskeleton mounting a heavy weapon (autocannon in my case) under slung on one arm and either a chainsword or a light manipulator arm on the other arm (maybe combine the two?). Here is a really quick and rough sketch to show what I mean. I need to tweak the proportions a bit and hack one together to test out the idea...

Would you have any problem facing this knowing it is a heavy weapons team by all respects, 2 wounds and all?

The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that with ignorance one may not know something but is willing to learn, where as stupidity is where one may not know something but is unwilling to learn.
