@Bubber - I really like those rough riders! fantastically dynamic.

**Judge Radd**

Wow, Bubber, that renegade guard sergeant looks like the sort of guy I wouldn't like to meet in a dark alley of a hive city!

**infilTRAITOR**

Bubber, I think I've seen your Russ on display at GW Pompey. Is that correct?? Anyway, I'm pleased to see another renegade guard player in my area!

Here's a few group shots of mine. Still redoing my whole army but this is what I have completed so far:

**Arctik_Firangi**

I only just posted these... but why not?

**infilTRAITOR**

Arctik, they're great! I love that you've given them webbing. I can't seem to like and guard without webbing or backpacks!

**LunaHound**

:'D rattling rough riders?

**T_55**

I love these threads, great for inspiration.

Here are mine:

**BrookM**

I've still got a long way to go before I can use my stuff in a store.

**Arctik_Firangi**

**Scrazza**

Awesome! Well, I loved them. Did you use pigments?

**Eldred Jonas**

My favourite trooper from my guard army.

Just finished a commission job and have to finish the last couple of Escher Gangers for my wife's necromunda gang and i'll be back on the IG scene and i can't bloody wait!

These are my favorite types of conversions; subtle posing that make models more dynamic or lifelike. Anyone can swap a weapon, but this guy's pose adds a tonne of personality to the whole model. Great job!

**BrookM**

Wow, I'm honoured that you peeps like such a simply posed model. I myself am a firm believer of adding small touches to models.

**Necros**

I have a bunch of pics on my site here...

I'm going to be taking new ones soon as I'll be updating the army to go with the new codex and adding a lot more over the next several months including 2 valkyries, 2 new units of vets, a 2nd baneblade and a leviathan

Yes - ground-up pastels mixed with water to apply then sealed with varnish. May have used Tamyia too.
Also did some wash techniques with oil paint & did some heat distortion on the exhaust but it's hard to see on photos.

A lot of the techniques came from the Forge Wolrd book. It is now my bible (sorry God)

**Flinty**

Finally had some time to work on my Vendetta (when I really should have been packing for a trip tomorrow). Not quite done yet, but I felt a need to share

**lalabox**

I also have a bunch of converted guardsmen, but i haven't taken any good pictures in a while. I should probably get round to that. Here is but a taste.

And because I love tanks so much.

**lvyoda**

Group shot of my vostroyans

I have since repainted the tanks to be more vostroyan like

**Scrazza**

wow these are looking awesome!

**unistoo**

Those of you who read my Ironclad P&M blog would have seen these before, but there's no harm in posting them again:
