With all the spare time , managed to make some guards to go in it....

Borrowed TKW`s idea with the Crimson guards bodies and found the Interrogator head goes quite well.

And the Battle Armour Cobra Commander looks a lot better in red and black

ive wanted to do this for a while but only have 1 trooper and 1 officer which are in my collection and the figs are too expensive to buy for customising. with prices going through the roof at the mo it makes customising pretty expensive

Like the interrogator a lot, might have to steal that :-)

Saw you'd painted the chest of the crimson guards, dont know if you tried but the logos do come off with a lot of rubbing and some white spirit...
