I just couldn't resist doing this. My great grandfather just passed away on the 20th and he was a scotish musician (explains the pipes) so this idea just came to me. The horns are probably gonna take a lot of converson but you tell me.
HQ
Band Leader (warboss): power klaw, slugga, eavy armour, bosspole, iron gob=113pts
Troops
Drummers (slugga boyz): slugga boy nob w/ choppa, slugga, bosspole, iron gob; 12 slugga boyz w/ slugga&choppa; 3 slugga boyz w/ big shootas=191pts
Bagpipers (slugga boyz): 1 slugga boy w/ rokkit launcha; 2 slugga boyz w/ big shootas; 13 slugga boyz w/ slugga&choppa=165pts
Horns (shoota boyz): 3 shoota boyz w/ rokkit launchas; 13 shoota boyz w/ shootas=143pts
Fast Attack
Travelling Section (trukk boyz): slugga boy nob w/ choppa&slugga, bosspole, 'eavy armour; 1 trukk boy w/ burna; 8 trukk boyz w/ choppa&slugga; trukk w/ big shoota, grot riggers=158pts
Speakers-on-Wheels (wartracks): 3 wartracks w/ twin-linked rokkit launchas, grot riggers=126pts
Heavy Support
Big Horn Thing-a-ma-jig (dreadnaught): dread CCW, big shoota, twin-linked big shoota, amour plates, stikkbomb chucka=104pts
Total=1000pts
Ok, now that the army list is out there, here's all the conversions: first, the band leader will be holding his bosspole like a baton and the iron gob is reflected by his command as band leader. Second, all of the big weapons (rokkit launchas, burnas, big shootas) in the squads will be reflected by bigger intruments (except for the pipers), the horns will have tubas, the drums will have huge drums that get beat n from either side, the travelling section will have i-don't-know-what-and-all-suggestions-would-be-greatly-appreciated. The basic instruments for the drums will be snares and i will probably convert WHFB orc musicians for some of these. The basiv horns instument will be the trumpet and i plan t do lot of green stuff sculptng on the bagpipes. The grot riggers on the trukk are band fans and they will have "i *heart* the band" t-shirts on. The wartraks will have giant speakers on them and their grts are mechanical crews for the speakers. The dreadnaught will be an incarnation of a Dr. Suess instrument will all these horns twisting round and round and an ork popping out of the top playing into it. The stikkbomb chuckas on the dread represent its power to blast enemies away with sheer noise. Oh and the drummer nob has an iron gob because the drum master is second-in-command.
Now, what do you think? This will be a homage to my great grandfather. Its not designed to be a very effective army in battle but more of a showcase. I hope you like it.
