Roman Watchtower and Imperial Gorks

I've finally finished my Roman Watchtower — well, apart from applying some matt varnish if it ever warms up.  It's made from  5mm foamboard, skewers, balsa, cocktail sticks and sewing pins, painted with a Wilko tester pot of emulsion ('Java Bean', dontcha know), drybrushed and varnished with Ronseal ('Medium Oak' this time).
Celts — I'm watching you

Here's my command squad for my Freebooter Orks, counting as Imperial Guard allies.  I've taken old GW lead models, added bionik bits from Kromlech, 'plasma' guns from some Necrons, a skorch from a Killer Kan, and painted in some banners from the very old Freebooterz book.

(The rest of the Killer Kans have had zzap guns mounted and will be ready to represent Sentinels as soon as I've finished their bases and banners.)
Renegade Oddboyz: Painboy (Veteran with Heavy Flamer), Grot (Master of Ordnance), Zodgrod the Runtherd (Commander with Power Weapon and Plasma Pistol), and three Mek/Painboyz (Veterans with Plasma Guns).

Here's a work-in progress of some of Zodgrod's super-runts (the reason he's a Freebooter — he got kicked out of his tribe for breeding unnaturally fighty gretchin and snotlings).  Firstly his big and angry ones:
IG Veterans with Autocannon and three flamers, nearly ready to babysit an objective.

 And secondly his small, sneaky sniper-y ones:
