Mounted in a Rhino this squad, along with the second tactical squad in their Razorback were used as my primary 'take and hold' force having the mobility to race ahead of the infiltrated scouts. With virtually all of the force either mechanised or infiltrators, the Sand Jackals gave me the ability to quickly grab table quarters and the numbers to hold onto them. Something a lot of my opponents were not prepared for.

I changed very little on the Devastators other than few pose changes and using some of the assault marine legs as they generally look fine just as they are. The only model that received any real treatment was the marine with the missile launcher. Although there is nothing wrong with the 'shooting' pose I liked the idea of a marine 'reloading' his weapon. With the help of the models that were running forward it gave the squad some movement, making them appear to be advancing on the enemy rather than their usual stationary pose.

To make the missile launcher I removed the attached right arm and shoulder pad, then carefully cleaned up the model and resculpted the launchers tube with a little green stuff. I then cut through the handle making a gap large enough to fit a closed fist through and repositioned the arms so that he appeared to be dropping a missile into the tube. The trigger grip was taken from a  plastic bolter and the power connection drilled out to add a little more realism to the detail where the power cable had been removed.

For the heavy bolters the barrels and muzzle vents were simply drilled out with a pin vice before painting.
