I've been quite busy the past few day. Just completed some hybrids which, combined with my
test paint and
hybrid leader, complete a five man hybrid squad.
Nothing too fancy really. Simply assembled some plastic hybrids (from Advanced Space Crusade I think...) and added some weapons.
To make it look less like I just kit bashed some Imperial Guard parts, as well as creating a 'rag tag' look to my force (as opposed to a highly organised army) I mixed up some of the combat weapons and tried to use auto-pistols (as opposed to las-pistols) as the 'standard' weapon. Also, as I will likely be using these hybrids for 2nd edition 40k, the las-pistol is slightly better than the auto-pistol, so I've reserved it for my leader.

Flamer Hybrid - I'm quite impressed with the burnt effect at the end of the flamer. |

The complete squad |
Unfortunately, there's only one pose to the hybrids and limited arms. They're also quite rare / expensive for plastic figures so I'm a little wary about just hacking them apart for conversions. I have quite a few now so I may plan some new / more interesting poses for the future.
