Grenadier Models

So with the Tau hitting the auction block this weekend its time to spend some money. With Apoc upon us I'll be representing the Guard ..as nobody gives them love.

Problem is my Troops choice will be Grenadiers and the Kasrkin are kak. Some quick pics but check out FW site if you care enough. There are personal pros and cons for me (ex: support models : Krieg Cav vs Elysian Drop Sentinel, Elysian Plasma vs Krieg Cav) so a poll for the masses it is.

Elysian (Carapace armour plus optional respirators ..fancy)


Krieg (notice the plates which differ from the flak troopers)

Death Corps baby!!!!

The other look too Star Wars or Starship trooperish to me

elisyans looks more high tech. i think they would fit better in a normal guard army.

death corps are cool, but would have to be in an all death corps army to look good

not true.......you can mix it up a bit.....nothing says you need unison. All you need is a united front!

I agree with Ryan, I think the Elysian models look more elite (grenadier like).

CJ, you can mix and match models, but the army will not be as aesthetically pleasing. Most guard models don't mix and match very well.

Elysian. The gun looks better.

ok....you had me at gun....

Matt....can you change my vote??

i agree with the gun plus if your doing just stand up plan gaurd then the Elysians look a whole lot more like normal infantry then the death corp

Ah, I should have clarified. My mistake..

My only Troops will be Grenadiers and my Comm HQ will have Carapace upgrade such as..

..this HSO



..and I'll need 8 of these

yeah....cahnge my vote.....those are sexy!!!

You can always run them as a drop list too.

Drop Troops

Its bad enough for 20 Grenadiers and an HQ Squad @$200

*cough* how much??

They are gonna cost a load

Maybe try those Marine Scouts with Elysian heads
($26 for 12 heads )

check with Dan....he had a bunch of bits for Marines.....especially heads!

I think he was talking about using scout bodies with Elysian heads.
