So in my quest to collect them all, all the guard that is, I have purchased some more Les Grognards from Wargames Atlantic for conversion in to DKoK command squads, heavy weapons and engineers
I plan on getting hold of a box of DKoK Command Squad, Engineers and also a Heavy Weapons Squad and using the extra bits to build more squads.
Looking through the various bits in the command squad I think this will be the hardest one to bash together as it’s designed to build only a limited number of models, although I think there will be several bits that can be used to build at least two, if not three additional models (using Les Grognards bodies)
The heavy weapons squads will be a little easier, while there will only be enough bits in the box to build three weapons platforms, it should be easy to convert up three more from the heavy weapon options in the Les Grognards box. The will also be bits left over from the Les Grognards box to build three more heavy weapons teams, built as mortars (played as cadian HWTs) to add some extra support.
The Engineers is actually going to be the easiest to convert up. The box contains enough weapons to build five models with club and pistols or 5 with shotguns plus a remote mine, flamer and Sgt, also with several options. This means that the box can build at least 13 models, possibly 16, so it should be easy to build three 5 man squads with the bits in the box and Les Grognards bodies. With a few extra bits, building a couple of remote mine operators and flamers will.also be fairly easy.
I have yet to get the DKoK boxes but I'm hopeful to grab them soon, although given current event, it might not be as soon as I would like.
