And yet, I had a G-3 that was black,,,maybe G-1? it was a .308(7.62mm x 54)

completly black? hmmm my had a green handle and butstock and the barrel handprotecter thing in green, the weapon was about from the 1965...and i did service in 1995...very modern army that time...........not.
i now of an experimental weapon called G11 and then there was a brief time called G41...the current is G36 in all its variants...so i guess if there was a G1 i dont know of then that had to be more like WWII related...the names are like the M16 or M1 showing their age...did a quick search...
did you hold that one here?
i like the FN Fal quite a lot it packs a decent punch and makes very ugly holes^^...
shame with all Nato realted 7,52 amo guns/rigles is their amo capacity...20 round is not something that will make you last in the battlefield for more than 30 secs...the average lifeexpectancy acording to my sarge ...
Though I funnily enough haven't joined the army, my fave weapon (though probably not accurate) is either the SCAR-L trispear or the ACR. I'm a pretty good shot apparently- I went air rifling for the first time and outshot the instructor. I got a score of 24, out of a possible 30 in 5 shots.
My scores that day were 14, 16, 22, and 24.
anyway- nice paintjob! Any fluff yet?

Vik Ah the original G-1 was wood stocked.
I have seen the G-11 caseless ammo concept.
Not as familiar with the others, and the pic has failed Vik.
Sadly, I needed the money to fix my car so I could get to work and the rifle was sold back to the gun-store. :(
Shrike Nice shooting scores! I was official a sharpshooter, but I got cheated just shy of sniper school scores, and would have become a changed MOS if that had happened...LOL near sighted sniper, made up for with the scopes! I love sniping in Fallout:New Vegas though, and have achieved kill shots even as the rifle is bouncing around!
Fluff for the Murmanskyan Rifles is coming up soon!

i was a pretty decent shooter in my time too, once we had a bit of spare amo in at the shooting range and we made a little game, five fallover targets /human sized at about 100-200 i guess and i had in the end to battle my first lieutenant ...well i was way faster and i got better shots than him...me a sorry privat^^ being... so i was revarded a full mag of 20 bullets to shoot at my own will on the targets... mind you in the german army they are so uncle scrooge with amo that in a sudden defensive situation most soldiers would instantly fill out a form instead of lock and loading... so what i am saying is 20 bullets is like a big win in a lottery in this army...^^
LOL! and they would usually have us use the ammo with the approaching due date for them going "stale", so we got blow off plenty of rounds. I heard German Army soldiers firing their Uzi's, and it sounded like a fart-noise. But anyway, I got my records back, and discovered the M-16 I was qualified on was referred to as........Auto-rifle!

LOL! Had somebody do that with an M-16 at our American range. Ran out of bullets before he could hit anyone.
LOL! IG get plenty of fire control and discipline or they are shipped off to the penal legions.

And I wish they left the ability to make penal legions as a whole platoon, instead they now are a single squad choice. That means a weird "elite" army if all six troop slots were penal troops.

doubtful if that was in reality doable...so many cons in one army and only the occaisonal sarge and commissar to keep them in place...every officer knows that some dire accidents might happen in the field...and with too much cons around that would lead to such things for sure...
I was speaking of a platoon formation surrounded by more platoons, stormtroopers and commissars and tanks to help keep them focused.
The Khadrovian Iron Guard though have not really employed many convicted soldiers as they are rare, or found to be more useful digging in mines.

New Pics! some of these will be in my tank thread as well due to obvious reasons! I still have more gray stuff to do on their bases to even them out, and then I can do the urbanized look of sidewalk lines in them. Meantime, Enjoy!

Thanks guys. Sad story regarding the Great Coats, the original guys got ousted due to a backstabber going to their new majority owners in China and badmouthing them, now all those who were loyal followers of Wargames Factory are upset and unhappy. We all decided to spread an embargo/boycott unless they re-instate the original management especially the one guy whose dream it was to make the company in the first place. I am Glad I got the 100+ of the ones i did before all the poop hit the fan on that one!

Where did you find that super-heavy? I must have one!
One of the things is that the troopers have few pose options.
As for the Tank, I ordered it through Yesasia.com, but it can also be found at Hobbylinkjapan.com
It is the T-61A5 from Gunadam 0079: Gravity Front second of three episodes.

I'm financially incompetent. Instead of spending the money on the miniatures I really want, I instead nickel and dime myself to the point that I've spent more money then I intended.
In this case of money wasting I wanted some Imperial Guard Cadian Kasrki for a Radical Daemonhunters army. As you know these are very rare and very expensive, $41 + S&H for 10 miniatures is pretty steep. So its was by pure crappy coincidence that on Sat Jan 15, 2011 that I discovered the Wargames Factory Great Coats miniatures. These guys look awesome!
I did the usual search to find the best deal which was on eBay: $19.95 w/ cheap shipping (Buy It Now). Wow 18 minis for $20!! The seller had 6 boxes so I figured I put them on my list until I was sure.
2 days later on Monday Jan 17, 2011 I decided that I was going to buy 2 boxes so first thing in the morning I head over to eBay but to my dismay all 6 boxes had been sold!!!
WTF!!!
30 minutes later after scouring the internet I discover the story about the demise of the company.
well as your certainly not a teen anymore you might know this one here...:
about 3:30 i think...
classy as hell...
also it might actually be a dr. pepper, whos callen for moar^^

I have the Dust Tactics guys, and they only come 5 per squad, and the IG codex wants them as 10 for normal squads, but since Kasrkin/stormtroopers are as small as 5 man squads, they would fit the bill, especially with all that armor on them.
