Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hi, you may or may not have seen some of my work before, in the inquisitorial imperial guard army or at ssminiatures.co.uk, but i am now taking on new commissions.

Here is the first:

its a 5 man I.G command squad built to the clients specifications. Arrived in the post today and has now got a coat of primer on them, not in the pics below tho.

the boot knife is cool....

Nice-looking. More!

- Blackbone

Love it. Keep up the good work.

Little Update on how things are coming along, all minis primed, base coloured and washed now time to tidy up and start highlighting.

Nice model & paint.

Knife on boots are cool.
Plasma guns seems so large. But its from command box right?
Seems it have lot to steal ideas!!

Great!, "your basecoat and wash" is my "look at my awesome paintjob i'm finished!"

Keep up the good work man

these are looking great! i love the colour scheme!

Thanks, heres another minor update, the cream/white of the uniforms is completed

Hey what colours did you use for the white uniforms looks great.

Dheneb stone, Devlan Mud wash, built back up with Dheneb stone and white, using about 5 mix layers in total. The photos have hidden the highlights a little.

Hope that helps.

Yet another mini update:

Very nearly finished:





Rough day









C&C welcome

You are great at painting skin! How do you do it? btw the squad is looking amazing. But my favourite is the plasma gunner. He looks sweet.

Thin paint, and washes, followed by more thin paint. I can post tutorial if you want.

Thanks, that would be great.

I will be posting a painting face tutorial up on SSminiatures.co.uk very soon.

But for now, Here are the pictures of the finished pieces, still awaiting client approval.

I love the chainsword guy. It's like he's shouting "You! you're next! Come and get some!!!"

It also says some thing like "I want you for the Imperial Guard!"

The black eye is unique and really stands out!

Thanks, i hadn't seem it done before, so though i would give it a go, the mini suits it i think.

Also thanks for the comments about the "chainsword guy". I wasn't sure if it would work, but the mini has come out quite nicely.

Yeh, the black eye is fantastic! I don't like the commander as much, for me he needs more colour that isn't white or red...doesn't quite sit right. But all to their own opinion

Very Nice!!

I undrestand what you mean about the Cap, but as a unit i feel the mini sits well.

Really nice work on the IG; I particularly like the plasma-gunner and the injured Guardsman (well-posed and painted!).

Thanks. The client has asked for some lighting on the plasma gunner, so i will post an updated pic asap.

I'm always impressed by your painting hits the spot. Good job!

Thanks everyone, I am pleased with the final display standard of this set, but most important, the client is very happywith them. When I get a chance, purhaps tomorrow, I will posta how to for this colour scheme, as the clients has asked for one so they can expand their army.
