With this Van Saar girls I begin a new army project: Van Saar Astra Militarum 
They are purely color scheme test subjects and don't have game role.
More miniatures will be coming in time.

Great job!
Wolf Scout- Catachan barking toad eggs+ Thousand Sons Marine= Fun! (Wolves of Catachan)
Warhammer 40,000+ Star Wars- Rian Johnson- Reylo= AWESOME! (Knights of Renaissance)
Reasons to use the Steel Crusaders ('Codex: Space Marines' supplement) or the Iron-hearted Angels ('Codex: Blood Angels' supplement): Because you think giving Sternguard Veterans a heavy bolter wtih special issue HEAVY BOLTER ammunition is ALMOST as much fun as shoehorning an Earthshaker cannon into a Land Raider.

I'm going to start by expressing my enthusiasm for the skyshield pad scheme 
But yeah, ever since the old fluff around the Van Saars providing iirc manpower, but i presume these days more like equipment for Necromunda's Guard regiments, there's been some cool concepts available in this area.
There's some very cool Storm Trooper conversions from Van Saars floating around the place, as well; and browsing pinterest, some rather nifty beret headed and extra stowage'd very strongly 'Guard' vibes V.S. , in khaki, olive drab, etc. schemes.
could be some further potential around sentinel etc. counts-as using some of those ambulatory spider-walker exo-skeleton conversions some are building.

The Haunting Harii of Hvergelmir [truescale Astartes ... and associates]

Combat Archaeology [Tomb Raiding for Fun & Prophet]

2 Bjorn Firewalker & Lord Raven 19:
Thanks!

Necromunda has a lot of "surplus" people so I think Van Saar pay Imperial Tithe with Astra Militarum Regiments too
There's some very cool Storm Trooper conversions from Van Saars floating around the place, as well; and browsing pinterest, some rather nifty beret headed and extra stowage'd very strongly 'Guard' vibes V.S. , in khaki, olive drab, etc. schemes.
I quite like Van Saar kit so I will try to keep conversions at minimum:a few pouches here, an extra grenade there, a chainsword for the sergeant etc
ould be some further potential around sentinel etc. counts-as using some of those ambulatory spider-walker exo-skeleton conversions some are building.
First of all I need to make a "Core" army - several infantry squads, a couple of tanks, a Superheavy and supporting staff (enginseer, astropath, psykers)
Then, as I hope, GW will release some servorigs and other van saar stuff.
A WiP photo, just to show that the process is underway

The first batch is done. :-)
and from behind
They are almost identical because I do them "by pose". This batch is made of "Rutgeers"/.
Also the paint scheme of a head... um.. tentacle has been changed. I didn't like metal & purple on a test subjects and made it more bright and acidic.
14 are done, 50 more to go!

very, very cool - I like the hint of the old-school 'classic' Van Saar scheme in there. Also, the camo-green/olive-not-quite-drab is doing rather well for militaristicness

And here are another 5:
It is 19 now and almost a 1/3 of a planned number - 64(6 inf squads, 2 platoon and 2 compant commanders) .
Also I got a small present from a friend - an ogryn bodyguard

"Lubricant"? For what exactly!? 
The Van Saar look fantastic so far. Their design will provide a unique army for sure.

Great going with the ogryn; the use of the knight faceplate for a gutplate is a nice touch.
I am not sure if the lubricant is likewise but it certainly got an audible laugh when I saw it written there. Well done.
The back tattoo's a good call as well.

These guys are pretty cool. It's nice to see a unique take on an existing army pattern. The Ogryn is particularly inspired too. Very nice execution of your idea here!

Grey, however, failed to capture the ape. It escaped to France where it murdered a rich widow and was hanged.

Maybe you could model TWC-sized "were-templars" who's inner Templar took over in the fury of battle transforming them into a giant half man - half templar?
