hey people,
after having tons of fun with my speed freaks it was time for a new 40k army.
and after being inspired by some (lots) of army movies ive decided on guard.
but any regular guard army wont do. just like me speed freaks its going to need to be my guard army.

that means lots of conversions, prefably every unit.
so first i set out to make a list to build up to, wich i have now.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/358646.page

being particually inspired by the tanks from full metal jacket, i decided to make
my leman russ just like it. here's what ive done so far.






next up is the hellhound wich i just need to finish painting (and a little greenstuff here and there)

Looks interesting. Vietnam themed you say? Consider me subscribed! :thumsbup:

hey people,
sorry for the long wait. been out for a while, you know things like school, work, unwanted financial setback and apperantly warhammer fantasy.
though now its time to go back to guard, yeah.


here's some of the stuff ive been working





been busy on the scrath build russ project, finished most of the turret (its big) and the rear hatch thingy.
ill pots those pics later tonight

Very Nice, that valk is spectacular.

Love the valk

That sound would be me hiding in the corner from the Valkyrie wings! Awesome work. I'm liking the M-60-esque Russ as well. Good luck with completing that.

Loving the GL's! Have to echo on the Valk! It looks amazing! I'm sure the pictures still aren't doing it any justice.

Awesome stuff, Nice paintjob on the valkyrie.

as promised, here are some more pics on wip russ.
came a long way if i say so myself, turrets almost done and russ just needds some work (especially the hull las c.)




next time more work on the valk will be done, and ill try to take some better pics. might have to do something with the lighting

Thats a very nice tank

I'm not usually into IG threads, but yours is particularly sweet. Great work on the Valk. Looking forward to the russ painted.

Hey, this is cool! Exceptionally well-painted Valkyrie. Keep at it dude.

Looks good, can't wait to see more!

hey guy's (and possible girls )
dont have a lot of time ight now cause of exam week so i havent done a lot lately.
i did however find the time to do this.



found this style of windows somewhere else and decided it would be awesome to do for my valk as well.
so i whiped out my (OLD) airbrush and got started. really love how it turned out, now back to studïng.

Love the Valk!

What materials are you using for casting? The resin color seems unusual though I suppose it can be any color.

Airbrush! Nice! Another chip in my wall of reluctance to buy a good compressor.

hey there people,

okay ive been away from guard for ages and as a result havent been able to pos anything. orks can be very distracting.
but now that thats behind me its time for guard again, yeah

ive had little progress with the russ so far, added some track guards.
and ive started on my commander, he's almost finished. ad a blat suculpn and painin t
plus, my vets need weapons and bases and what is cooler than shotguns so ive gone and made some.

here's the pics, enjoy

Glad to see that you are updating again.

Love the plastic work on the shotgun. The green stuff sculpting looks a bit rough though. I can't help but wonder how many of them you can crank out while keeping them consistent in appearance.

Maybe you should cast them?

awesome painting

Those windows are spectacular. That must have taken time. I can't imagine how painstaking it must have been to paint the eagle wings.

Wow great work all round, and that valkyrie it just amazing keep up the awesome work !

Looks great love the vendetta keep it up !

hey people,

been gone a long time, lots a stuff c ame up so i havent been hobbying a lot lately.
so ive continued on the russ a bit but so much to show the progress amd finally started finishing the hellhound.
also build and painted a base for the vendetta. really like how it came out, ill post pics of that later.

but what i came back here to show was a drawing i made. after seeing some new stormtrooper concepts from FW
i totally got stormtrooper fever and whent about to draw my own concept for a stormtrooper. i dont care if you dont like the drawing,
i love it and decided to make a sculpt of it. ill let you on the progress later but first the concept, still needs a backpack though.

also, i bought a chimera (the bandwagon, im on it)

hey people,
been out of it for a long time, school, work, broken camera, you know the drill. anyway ive slowly been tinkering away with my guard
bought a few chimera's (no guard player can go without), fixed the airbrush and started painting stuff. here's the progress so far:

also, started working on making meself a hydra. started with guns and im working my way from there

nice scratch building and freehand work there! good airbrushing skills as well, will be looking forward to seeing more work from you,
Subbed!

Excellent return broodjeork, fantastic weathering, airbrush and freehand work again!

Wow... I love that skull on the tank.... I wish I coudl do something like that.

Hey people,
been gone a long time but im finally updating again, took me over 6 months though. its not because i havent been busy with my guard that i havent been updating but
more so that i almost forgot this thread excisted, and i havent really been busy with my guard. until recently that is. See, there was this tournament in the netherlands(thats where i live) last weekend called battle of the clubs. and we go every year with our club so my guard had to be finished for the tournament. so i kicked my ass in gear and finished my guard.

well not really but i came close enough, here's some of the results

as for the tournament, my not so competitive guard list preformed rather well, given the competive nature of the tournament. i scored a 20-0, 12-8 and a 16-4 facing eldar, chaos marines and grey knight. in the second game all the opponent had left was one landraider with 2 marines capturing 1 of the 2 objectives and in the third game he only had a landraider preventing a wipeout. all in all pretty nice considering i was on the not so serious team of our club and not the "A-team".

the list was:

company command, 4X melta, powerfist, chimera

marbo

vets 3 melta, chimera
vets 3 flamer, demo's, chimera
platoon command 4 grenade launcher
3x squad las cannon
commisar power weapon
2x heavy squad auto cannon

hellhound
vendetta

leman russ battle tank
2x hydra
manticore

anyway, pics

Awesome work I really like your freehand work . Your conversion work is amazing keep up the great work !

wow. they look brilliant...

Loving the Valk. Your paint skill is amazing...

Subbed!
