My most recent project (so recent it has not started till tomorrow morning), is going to be my Imper. I mean Astra Militarum regiment, the 24th South Praetorian Boarders.
The models of this army are primarily made up of 28mm Anglo Zulu war mini's I bought from warlords, combined with a few pieces from perry's collection.
The army is basically a homage of sorts to the 24th South Wales Borderers, formerly the 24th regiment of Foot (famous for the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift, among others)
Right now all I have for y'all is the art for Praetorian Guard, as well as some of the 24th SWB (taken from multiple sources, I did NOT do any of this art)

First Update! Sorry for the delay in any update. Its been a busy couple days. So what I've gotten done so far is based the entire army, and finished work on the pants, helmets, and faces of my guardsmen. Tomorrow I will be working on their boots and the details of their faces, And gonna try and get most of the White Webbing done, as well as ordering up a swap of guns for them so they look more "Bolt Action Lasgun"-y.
On that last note does anyone know of any manufacturers who make 28mm true sci fi arms that would look "right" with these guys? I know GW 28 on 28 true looks goofy...

promising so far.

Are you cool with this on this board or would you prefer this being in the blog section ?

If you want it moved hit the alert and we'll do it.

Well it is a painting and modeling project, so I figured it would go here... if you think otherwise, you may move it

Hi there, as i am sure you probably already know Victoria Miniatures are probably your best bet. Finding true 28mm is rather hard. That said there is no reason not to try them out and see what they look like.

Good luck with your project. I have yet to start my own Praetorians but I hope to watch your efforts with interest.

I declare a challenge...

GW weapons might fit the arms alright worth checking if their slightly big gravity variation maybe?

I have no plan to fly all the way to England at this juncture in time Llamahead. If your challenge was more of a "My army is cooler then your army, I gladly except. it will take me some time though to finish these lads...

Fair enough mate!
