Lonkelo dives into Kill Team

Cyber-Altered Task Units are tracked reconnaissance vehicles that have served the Imperium for millennia. Fitted with pict-recording equipment and frequency scanning augurs, they can be remotely operated to provide vital tactical information for their kill team.

I love kitbashing and it’s simple things like building an autonomous recon vehicle (i.e. little robo) that make happy. I found the wheels in my bits box and they look like they were scavenged from the ground somewhere. It’s definitely one of those things I found, where I thought: this may come in handy some day! And guess what: it did! The body is from an old Imperial Guard Chimera set, I think, and the head is a pair of binocular from a (now old) Cadian command set.

I can imagine this guy zooming around, dodging shots left and right, all the while scouting ahead for his handler. His hard job reflected in his sad WALL-E like eyes…

Knowing what is around a corner can mean life or death for Imperial Navy Breachers. By using a C.A.T. unit, which is capable of navigating narrow tunnels and holes, a Surveyor can investigate and prepare their squad for what might be ahead.

So, the CAT herder. I just used a basic Grognard build for this guy. Originally I was thinking about handing him the remote controller from the Grognard set, but that might be more apt for the Void-Jammer’s gheistskill detonator (once I build him). Instead I slapped a piece of machinery to his back and put an antenna on top. The machine bit looks GW, but the set…? The antenna is from some other model kit I can’t remember.

In the last post I said that I wanted to cut down the Grognards’ rifles to convert them to shotguns. Well, I couldn’t bring myself to cutting down that fine rifle with bayonet, so for now I’m leaving it as is. I might just decide that my Void Shrikes use long rifled shotguns with bayonets affixed.
