Azog Update 001

Greetings!  I've been hard at work and haven't had a whole lot of time for the hobby lately.  Good news is that I finally got my work station all put back together.

I began work on the Azog Treadbikes a couple weeks ago, but besides getting a set of saddlebags glued down, not much has been happening.  Partly because of the work schedule, and partly because I want my Rough Riders to be effective on the field.  So I plan to take a squad with two flamers to begin.  With this decided, I then had to work out how to deploy said flame weapons on my Azogs.

Here is what I came up with:
The flamer is made from the grenade launcher that is included with the kit, the end of a Cadian flamer, and a bit of plasticard rod.

I decided to go with the Cadian torsos and heads for the squad.  This will help maintain cohesion across my army.  I'm saving the stock heads and torsos for something else, but I'm not sure what that may end up being.


I gave the rider the means to defend himself in the event that he is forced from his mount.  The bayonet is part of the webbing included with the Cadian Shocktroops box.  The las carbine is converted from the spare lasgun in the Heavy Weapons box.

Cheers,
Xi
