Just Say "Yes" to Combat Drugs

DIY combat drug injectors can be as complicated or as simple as possible.  Naturally, I made mine complicated.

During yesterday's snow, I finished the putty work on my 45 Clanrat/Wyches.  I am now working on the combat drug injectors, which will be strapped to their backs.  I made these combat drug injectors from the drum-barrels of Ork shootas, with a variety of bits attatched for variety.  Here is an example of one of the most basic of the builds:

I have drilled out the gun-barrels of each of these canisters, and have an 18 gauge plastic-wrapped wire to run from these canisters, to an injection site on each model's chest.  For some of these models, with an appropriate amount of space on their chests, I will add a "heart-plug" made from a modified Cadian gas mask mouthpiece.  For models with too much cloth-work on their chests to add such a bit, I plan on having the tubing simply disappear into one of the folds. 

At this point, I have finished converting all 45 canisters, and am now in the process of adding the appropriate "heart-plugs".  I will not have any modeling time this weekend, due to the Conflict GT I am headed to, so perhaps I can display more progress next week.  I still have to explain the "splinter pistol" conversions I am building, as well as the haywire grenades, base enhancements, and melee weapons for these 45 models.  I hope that this is the most time-consuming part of building this army, because I have tons of ideas that I want to get to work on for the rest of the units.  Wait till you see the agonizers these Wych squad leaders are going to be swinging...
