Infantry Squad 2 - Sgt Nicholas

The Infantry Squads of White Platoon all have Sergeants with Power Swords for scaring off Marines and Grenade Launchers for versatility. Squads 2 & 3 have Autocannons for some stand-off firepower and they'll often be combined as one squad.
The grenade launcher here is a metal Lasgun model with the Lasgun carved out and a plastic Grenade Launcher superglued in. Originally it had a metal Cawdor Grenade Launcher but that was the old Grenade Launcher design and it was much easier to update to match all the newer ones in the army. The Sergeant has a pistol swap and has a Power Sword replacing his carefully carved out hand and sword. He has a holster added so his squad number can be displayed on it.

The Autocannon team actually predates the existance of a Catachan Autocannon team. The gun and firer were orderd as parts from GW, back when you could do that, and the loader is a Lascannon loader with his ammo carved to look like it carries some shells instead. The Heavy Weapons team is magnetised as explained on the Heavy Weapons Teams post.
