The Catachan Jungle Fighters are perhaps the least imaginative fighting force within the GW range, based very much on Vietnam-era jungle troops. Think 'Rambo', or 'Apocalypse Now' or 'Platoon'. You get the idea.
That being said, they are a lot of fun to paint, and they tend to look quite good when they are assembled en masse. The palette mix of tanned flesh and combat fatigues helps to give an idea that they are fighting in hot and sweaty conditions on a Death World.
The one problem with these chaps - as with all Imperial Guard Astra Militarum - is that they are as cheap as chips, points-wise. Which is great news when it comes to building army lists, but not so great when it comes to looking at the list of things you need to paint. The combined points cost of the chaps above, for instance, is about 80pts.
