i thank you already

Mostly from here. Painting will be done when my work stops being foolish :(

Astropath


CCS


Infantry


Russ

long live the truth-sayer Xaphan. The emperor is dead!

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

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!

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:

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

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

:'D rattling rough riders?

I love these threads, great for inspiration.

Here are mine:

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

This is NOT a photo of me, I took this at a recent tournament.

Nice shirt.
He also had a full army of Elysian models.

wow theirs a lot of cool models here
i'll post my guard when i have a new camera (old one fell off the stairs)

keep on waaagh!ing!

BrookM, that Elysian in the Valkyrie is amazing.

yeah it is ! good work!

Eh sure ill throw down the yarrick I painted up for a friend. Go vote on him if you can. Wanna see what people think.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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

http://www.timkline.net/wargames/stormguard.php

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)

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

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.

Group shot of my vostroyans



I have since repainted the tanks to be more vostroyan like

wow these are looking awesome!

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

Artillery battery

Love that turret. Also like the buggy (!) but can you do a wide angle shot so we can see how it goes together & a list of bits?

Is that a Hetzer in the middle?

@ George Spiggott - those heavy cannons look great! Very inspirational. Where are the chassis from?

Ignorant swine, I should slap thee!!

A Hetzer is rather small but has a similar profile. That particular vehicle in the picture is in fact a West German Bundeswehr Kanonenjagdpanzer which entered service in the late 1960s.

OHMYGOD that is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Here's my Chimera:

Firstly, beautiful models guys.

Secondly I said I would never play guard and damn you all for making me want to.

@The Lost Hobbit, excellent weathering.

Il bite . still very WIP

Show offs!... Although, they're very good pictures.

Not strictly IG, but he'll be used together with them. In laid-back games I may even use him as LRMBT or with the BoLS ruleset.

Knight Titan 40K scale:

That thing is awesome...

@Kasrkinlegion - Your chimeras look godlike. I especially like how you dealt with the problem of the original turret ring. Thanks for sharing

yeah that is some coool work keep it up!
anyone got some more pictures?

Can't compete with some of the awesome stuff here... but here are my Cadians...

Hey mate, I imagine your army looks fantastic on a battlefield. Superb level of painting for any army, it has shading and highlighting, so is as far as I am concerned 'above' gaming standard and would awe opponents with your consistant high standard.

Here is one of mine

Here are some of mine

sonofruss any way you can tone the blue down?

restarted my guard army (old scheme on last page), going for a winter campaign army this time

Man! Now I need to get painting! You guys have inspired me (especially you, Eldred!).

Miss Dee wrote:sonofruss any way you can tone the blue down?

Cloud crossed over when I took the pic will update and change them soon.

Man! The Imperial Guard are very tempting... They're so much easier to relate to than Space Marines:

Space Marine: "Thou hath shot my arm off. Now prepare to meet death..."

Imperial Guard: "My arm! Medic!..." tears flow freely as his muscles begin to spasm "... Don't want to d-die..." he collapses on the ground for the last time as his legs, and bladder, give way.

Listen to this! GW said at Games Day Chicago today (25th July 2009) that they WILL produce a full plastic Imperial Guard range (in time) INCLUDING different regiments. Well, I think I could hang on for a bit longer...

Lots of great stuff here. Makes me wish I was better at painting.

This conversion of Marbo is the only thing I've got photographed.


Photos taken by my good friend Magnus Kami.

And now for some pics of "real" IG models instead of small titans:

Converted chimera:




Marbo:


Harker:




Standard bearer:


a sarge:


techpriest:


And, last but not least, a converted hellhound:

My converted Female Commissar. The original model came with a power sword and laspistol. The bolt pistol is magnetized to accept a plasma pistol gun swap (unfortunately, the plasma pistol is unpainted)

Captain Hixon, 2nd Acheronian attache to ONI (Observational Naval Intelligence)

i love the female comisar ! good work

From my post in B and M blogs

Slann, your guard kick ass!

Mine aren't as good as Slann's, but I won a prize for best in show at the local tourney for them:

There is so much cool stuff in this thread...

Some of mine, not the best so please be gentle!:

Great minis so far! Here's a couple of my converted manticore and a random sergeant.
Sorry for the quality of the pics but I lost my digital camera cord so I have to make due with my phone

I'm still trying to decide how to paint the manticore, hence the lack of paint

Lol, taking pictures of your minis in the grass is pure win.

well my guard are not painted =[ ill post some pics when i get some done

I just finished the Chimera this morning.

I like that model, what is he? Did you scratch build the helmet on the ground or is it guard?

Napalm wrote:I like that model, what is he? Did you scratch build the helmet on the ground or is it guard?

Its the astropath model from the Regimental Advisors blister.(with a nice paintjob) And that looks like a spare helmet off the basic Guard infantry sprue thats on the ground.

NEEDS MORE CATACHAN!

seriously though, all these models been posted look great and are a great inspiration

some awesome stuff here guys! Really inspired to keep going with my guard. In the past three weeks I've built up quite a force myself. I think it's around 4k points starting from not having a single guard figure in my collection. I don't have pics of the entire army yet, but I will take some. Here are some pics of my last tank built, I'm just about finished the executioner myself, but here's the punisher:















The cammo netting is only on there for positioning, not the final use, I opted for not using it after all!

Question why do GW do female minis and make them look like tarts?

Because that's what male gamers are expected to buy?

Seriously, some great work in this thread!

@Cadian - Really nice work on the punisher... is the right HB sponson supposed to be upside down though?

Flinty wrote:@Cadian - Really nice work on the punisher... is the right HB sponson supposed to be upside down though?

o god thats funny
kinda a shout out to the box it came in right?

i was saving these for a p&m blog i was going to start but whats the harm in throwing them up here first. these are the first of the ones that have gs backpacks.

So how are the GS packs coming for those, oppenheimer?

well fox, i got my first squad all done and painted. i got the packs done on my pcs, and im working on painting them all up. on 100+ more gs backpacks to make. its actually a lot easier than i thought i would be.

I am interested to see if anyone has any Gue'vasa (Tau Imperial Guard) conversions they would like to show.

Cappy wrote:I am interested to see if anyone has any Gue'vasa (Tau Imperial Guard) conversions they would like to show.

I did a small number of infantry up as Guela'vesa ages ago, just after the current Cadian stuff came out. Nothing really came of it, although I also found that the Kasrkin rifles take pulse rifle muzzles rather nicely

Flinty those look insanse...

Flinty wrote:@Cadian - Really nice work on the punisher... is the right HB sponson supposed to be upside down though?

Heh, yeah good thing I didn't glue them in right? I noticed it after taking the pics, but didn't bother reshooting the pics... SOOOO thanks for pointing it out, good eye, but yep it's been fixed LOL

Hehehe... I was hoping that was the case... either that or it was a subtle TSOALR reference

That looks great Flinty I like the camo pattern.

This is a smoking thread! Well done!

Oppenheimer- I really dig those Cadians man, nice cammo pattern on that Sarge!

Flinty- How could you man?!? Nice work though, the tau armour actually looks good on them!

can you give me a list of paint i should use for men

Depends on what you want. warp. Go on over to GW for their standard (as pictured on boxes) paint lists.

Captain Jack, how did you make those wheeled vehicles they look awesome... like the Striker...

Here is a picture of my old paint scheme for my Cadians. It's based off of the US Army ACUs. I've isnced changed this to something similar to the new SF Camo.

Your master of the fleet has blown mine out of the water sanchez! I tried painting him like a Marine in Dress Blues and it didn't work as well as I thought.

Though, my guy has a neat-o beret.

cool!

here's a couple of my kasrkin storm troopers and their valkyrie transport. These are some of the first models i've painted since getting back into 40K after some years but there will be more to come. I hope you like them.

the valk is a bit to black for me but the storm-troopers are cool

so i posted my valk and storm troopers a while ago, here's some more stuff i've been working on...

cool commissar

Scrazza wrote:cool commissar

Thanks, yeah i like the way he turned out.

Here's a full shot of my Praetorian army a year or so ago. Since then I've added some stuff and shuffled it around, but the bulk is still the same.

Good god Polonius! My epeen feels so small now; thats an impressive army and even moreso because they're Praetorians.

This thread is going to be bookmarked for sure, IG ftw!

Here is the Necromunda 1st

You have awesome armies!

I have not photos of my entire army (10.000 points) but here are a pair of photos.
It's based in a german WW2 panzerdivision. For the infantry I use converted cadians, steel legion, mordian and valhallan.

Everybodys IG is amazin!! Keep up the good work!

Woah! Where did you get those mean looking shipping bins? I'd love to get my hands on some of em!

AT-43, i asked the company if they had extra and they did,(FFG) i also represent a FLGS though, so i had a bit of influence(also i was a rackham outrider/red dragon?)

Flinty wrote:CCS

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread at all from all these great IG models but where abouts can you get those metal heads from? The bodies look like Kasrkin troops?

I'm a bit of a noob at this as I've only recently got back into some 40k after about hmm 12 years The reason I ask is because they look a hell of a lot like the Marine from the original Doom PC Game which I am very much a fan of - I've painted up a normal Space Marine to look sort of like the Doom marine but its not quite the same...

Like the 'Russ' by the way

freeking awesome lord of corn!

Vectrex: those are Pig Iron heads. A couple of online dealers carry them in the USA, but they are made in the UK so it should be much easier for you to find one.

@Vectrex - They are Pig Iron Heavy Infantry heads from here. The bodies are just normal Cadian plastics. The rifles are also after-market from Hasslefree, another UK model company that does all sorts of weapon packs.

@Crablezworth - dear black baby jeebus! Awesome, sir, awesome!

Thanks guys I'll have to see about getting some although it will be hard justifying it to myself since I'd need some Karskin troops too and I've got so many models to paint already and each one takes me forever

@Scrazza - Your guard are the inverse of my guard. Ive got red armour and grey cloth ha ha

but unfortunatly i havent really got any decent pics as of yet (only just starting out) so mayb soon ill chuck something up here

Can someone here help me out? I can't paint human flesh worth a hoot. anyone have simple yet effective way of painting flesh?

I'm not a very good painter but i'm very proud of newly completed Tanith First and Only infantry detatchment
(and when i say completed i mean everything up until the basing, I haven't yet learned how to do that)















Lemme know what you think :]

this is still a WIP of one of my junior officers but i thought i should put something up here so that you can at least get an idea of my colour scheme that im working on.




still some work needs to be done and corrections to be made of course

lol someone at gw antwerp told me the same thinh jake bake a cake!

cool guardsmen barnum eagles and enkay and to you jake bake a cake : LOL

i invite you all on my wip topic for my own guard

31st Valonian Naval

autocannon conversion (all the autocannosn are like this but i haven't painted them yet )



I'm not a fantastic painter so i like to keep my guys simple but here are some of the naval infantry guys, with modified lasguns. I use lascarbines only because they "count as" shotguns and are easy to distinguish from the lasguns



and some guys with camo fatigues to break up the simple paint scheme. Also, none of the bases is done yet currently still 2 more squads and 5 chimerae on hold.

I tried to make the camouflage more natural looking by breaking up the paint scheme around folds and seams as it would in real life. This seemed to work surprisingly well and i'm quite pleased with the result

Love that autocannon Gryphonne.

also like that simple camo used on some of your troops. Might try and do something similar to tell apart vets from normal guardsmen...

me too i would love to see a groupshot of your army so far
gryphonne

Loved all the stuff but the rattling rough riders and voystrons were the best for me only because I've always loved voystrons and those rattling rough riders are awesome.

Very inspiring I will try to get my pics of my Catachans up soon army has a little bit more flavour now.

I like his SU-152................

Ok, well, really not up to the quality of most of you guys. However, here goes.



Since that picture, I have since added a manticore (nearly finished) and 2 chimeras. Plus 2 valkyries and a vulture still in bits from forgeworld (sale, woohoo!)



Probably my best looking character model to date.



The proud soldiers of the Mordian Iron Guard.

More pics arehere though

i only have this so far, ill put some more on when i finish off some other stuff

thats an awesome conversion, looks so much like an ak ha ha

does in count as a lasgun or sniper?

i love that stormtrooper and sly marbo

Its hard to stay with a color scheme , thinking of adding a bright red one next...
