The bases aren't done. Right now you can see the reddish gravel. That'll get covered with snow when my infantry are done. The silvery globs are there as a hight map for snow drifts. Huzzah for planning ahead.

Simple Minds' "Don't you Forget About Me" begins to play. As it fades out after a few moments, I resurrect this thread. It's been a while since I did much more than look at my IG, but I've been feeling inspired lately to put more work into them. In an effort to motivate myself more, I'm posting these pictures of what my infantry looks like now. That one guy in the bottom right is a demo charge guy. I'm working on finding more parts to make two more.  Kasrkin in the bg, and Bassie crews (one pair is done, the other two need to be painted):   Penal troops in the bg, and three squads in front. All three need to be painted, but one has been started.  Their PCS (needs a lot to be primed):  Other PCS (also needs to be primed):  A focus on the commissar who says "I got this!"  The other three regular squads (I need to sculpt the greatcoats, and assemble...) I didn't take a specific picture -- you know what sprues look like, and the other guys are already here. Vet squad (needs to be painted):  SWSs (varying degrees of wip) they can be reorganized to make another vet squad. Don't worry, Reds, the snipers are not going to be used as a SWS...    Yarrick! (needs a new paint job):  My CCS plasma squad of doom (need some primer):  So the plan is to crank-out five guys a week, and update this thread. At least until I'm doing the sculpting part. Then I update on how the sculpts look. My little game that I'm playing is that if this thread goes onto page two while I'm working, I lose. Here's to the glory of the Imperial Guard! |

i like the plasma gunner on the left, he looks like hes trying to make sure the thing doesnt blow up into his face....only into his hand, desintegrating it ;D
I am still a fan of the penal troops. They are going to look awesome when they are all done.

That plasma gunner is a conversion I found on this board. The middle one is from the HQ box, and the right one is a conversion I made. The left one looks light and is the most characterful one, the one I made is my favorite visually - it looks like it's worth the insane cost of a plasma gun in this codex. The pre-made one was, of course, the easiest to do - all I needed to do was to remove the silly shoulder pad sculpture...

Ummmm...is your one PCS throwing his lasgun at the enemy?

Wire stock carbines semi-carefully glued to the open hands of a vehicle officer run that risk. Being hit in the face with a lasgun is still S3 Ap-, so...
I might go back and swap those hands. It depends on how much they annoy me.

Do I spy with my little eye a lasgun chainsaw bayonet conversion in the last pic? Good job overall on the army. Not sure about some of those snipers arms though, It takes a strong man to hold a long gun at that angle for any amount time. Although I like the actual sniper.
yay 100 posts

Congrats on becoming a Lt.
Yes, there are lancers in my army. Of course the medic gets one, haha. The snipers are hanging down like that because they're heavy. The dudes are using one hand to shield their eyes, so the rifles are practically dragging on the ground. I'm going to have to fix the hands on them though. The grenade grips annoy me.

First thing I thought when I saw these was "Hey, they look just like you!". Go figure.  Lovely models of course, the converted shotgun and sniper rifles look swell. Good use of kit bashing to make unusual models too. =) |

Isnt Straken's right arm the bionic one? |

Post by ElegaicRequiem on Jul 16, 2009 17:10:48 GMT -5
Not my Straken.
Heh, page two. I lose already. Also, I'm not gonna be able to meet my quota this week, most likely. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks this week. Most of my modeling time will be spent dealing with that.
Anyway, I've made another awesome shottie, in my attempt to fight the system that says my shotgun is S3. I'll likely give it to Angels. Oh, well...
