Bananagrams, in my opinion, is an okay game at best. But the great thing with it is that it comes with over 100 lovely tiles. These were crying out to be used for something else!

I first thought about flipping them upside down and making a paved floor out of them (which I’ll probably do at some point). But then I had a better idea: why not make a whole kill team?

So after 5 minutes of rifling through the bag, I found the tiles I needed. I grabbed a sprue of 25mm bases and started to build.


I wanted to keep them simple-looking, so I cut up small lengths of sprue and glued them on as arms and legs, finishing off the basic look with a pair of eyes.


With a nod to Space Marines, I also gave each one a backpack and a different type of weapon, including bolt guns, claws, power swords, etc., and one with a nice big banner.

These minis took about 45 minutes each to make, which I think is quite good considering the amount of fiddliness when making the weapons. Now on to the painting.

I was in a quandary about what colour to paint them in. I knew I wanted the letter tiles to be in white or ivory, but the limbs I wasn’t quite sure. Should I paint them in ultramarine, blood red, or even yellow? In the end, I went for a compromise, painting the limbs in blue and leaving the tiles and hands in white.

I think this kill team could destroy anything that GW can offer! And the cool thing is you can have lots of fun rearranging the letters into other words as well!
