With a little bit of mixing and matching, I have been able to build (in my opinion) a decent looking squad. This unit is still a work in progress. I hope you like it. I am building a Veteran Guard Squad, but instead of using the Kreig miniatures from the Octarius box set, I am using Catachans. The idea behind the squad is that they are a group of Veteran Tyranid hunters. They were previously part of a successful campaign that defended a world from a Tyranid Invasion. Now they have been brought to a new world to use their expertise. They will b
