A commisar for my up coming guard/mech project.

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?)

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

Old Pics of my Valhallans

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

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.

You absolutely must show an unpainted photo or a work in progress pic or something. How did you do that? It looks like a lot of greenstuff work. Really, really nicely done.

ps awesome work so far
