Next we have the balance of the first squad that goes with the prototypes that I posted up here
And finally the second squad.
I decided to portray these guys as a rather motley hive-militia auxiliary to the First Born Veterans hence they get an eclectic mix of lasguns scrounged from the battlefield including Catachan and Steel Legion las-carbines. If I build another squad, I'll throw in a few lasguns from the Necromunda weapons sprue.
UPDATE: Wargames Factory has re-opened their web-store so it looks like the great coat shock troops will continue to be available.

I really like your Sgt with pistol and cap. Great posing.
I use pig iron heads too. 100% better for my purposes than cadian heads.
the coats match their cossak hats.
but they look more like light coats, by they way their movement is implied.
Squad looks good. I like the way the y look in real life too. They are a near perfect match to the GW parts and someone like me who doesn't play Guard would have trouble finding a difference.

Thanks, these guys are a lot of fun to build up -- I'm glad that I have so many Cadian spare parts to play mix and match with.
I have have been gathering parts to start making a IG army with the Great Coats Miniatures. Those look nice, have you decided on a color yet? I am torn between, a Grey Base, or Tan...
Thanks Rath. I went with a tan scheme that matches my tanks. There's link to the painted prototypes for the first squad:
