Problem: I like the steel legion squads, but don't want missile launchers in that part of the list. Second Problem: over $5 per unit on eBay, so that's $20 for two squads of replacements. Solution: Give one of them a map, for FREE! Step one: find a map to be (in this case it was a Catachan Standard) Step two: get rid of the ammo carrier's load out. Step thrice: cut down the "map" and glue it on there! I'll post a pic when I get him repainted. New problem! He's actually terrible at directions and special relations... Solution: Summary Execution!

Just make sure you cut away all the details of the map, otherwise it just looks weird...

I was originally thinking of painting them to look like mountains, woods, or water. But as I look at it now, I think you're correct.

Well, if the details actually looked like mountains, woods or water I would agree with prilladog. Right now they look like a circle, a square and two thingamajigs. If they are to be kept they need to be reshapened.

I used the flag for 2 reasons; 1st I don't have any plasticard. 2nd I like how the flag is wavy so it looks like it has been unfolded. But mostly the first reason.

Not to sound rude... But I don't get it - Instead of getting a squad of replacements, that you could easily convert into different special weapons - that you propably will need in your list. You've cut up a loader and attached a plastic bit, that could have been made of cardboard instead...
...While I do applaud the effort - I think it could have been handled differently.
Again, I apologize if I have sounded rude.

Every time I see a classic metal figure cut up I cry a little... unless it's a catachan model
