I have based my IG on ww2 british paras i have also used war games factory greatcoat troopers as DKK and i think they work well. i scrach built the barricades from plasiticard, I am new to 40k and this is my first attempt at painting 40k.

very nice! I have that commander!

Those are good figs.

Looking good maybe some closer pics !

thank you for your comments .
here is a closer look.

A scrach built gun platform

Love the army, looks great!

On another note, the terrain set up looks like the topside of the bunker fromth film Outpost, is that what you were going for or a happy coincidence?

All in all great work, keep it up.

I like the maroon helmets, they are fantastic! If you wanted to do some beret heads for your WW2 para theme, you can get them here, http://www.westwindproductions.co.uk/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=1092 I have a few and they work really well on guardsmen.

That heavy bolter geezer looks badass, is it a catachan model?

He is the Sargent Harker model, you are correct hes a catachan

yes good film outpost, and yes gunny harker is a jungle fighter and thank you for the link to spare heads will have a look at them , if anyone else has a link to other suppliers of spare heads with berrets then please let me know.
transport is based on the RAC with german patern cammo

You could always make your own push molds for the beret heads, that's what I do.

Nice looking army so far and always nice to see people making their own terrain. I like the camo scheme on your tank too.

You have done a brilliant job on the tank!

Keep it up!

nice job, i really like how you painted your helms red compared to the camo of the rest of the uniform, really simulates the whole special forces/ beret feel and i like it!

Really nice guard model mate! what do you use the Rhino as a Chimera?

I'm currently working on a IG force loosely based on WWII British paras (yours are nicer painted than mine) and I've been sticking lichen to the tops of some of their helmets to look like the camo that they sometimes used.

Just thought I'd share the idea.

yes i use the rhinno as a chimera.

Very nice! I love the Paratrooper paint scheme!
