Metal Catachan Jungle Fighters: Part 4

The Death World of Catachan has bred a hardy lot of men and women. The Catachan Jungle Fighters are a product of their harsh environment; generations of survival and natural selection have produced the fierce and deadly warriors who make up the Catachan regiments.

I finished painting five metal Catachan Jungle Fighters and a Dust Tactics Walker, which serves as a Catachan pattern Sentry Walker (an unofficial Guard vehicle).  The Catachan Jungle Fighters includes a missile launcher team and three guardsmen with lasguns.  Finding inspiration from the camouflage worn by the U.S. Special Forces during the Vietnam War, I selected a ‘tiger stripe’ camouflage pattern for these miniatures.
