They are the most accurately detailed minis I've yet seen, considering the scale. I can see me buying the rest of the set . . .

@ riverhawks32: thanks very much. Such nice minis were a pleasure to paint.

Been a Mojo free zone for quite a while, but managed to dig out the paints for first time this year to do a new tank commander and some 'counts as' veterans:

**Valkyria**

Insanely well done

**dsteingass**

Agreed! Who makes the Commando mini?

**Ash 1**

Tank Commander is a 1/48 scale 'Panzer Commander' by MIG productions. He's a bit lanky and tall, I cut him in half and sanded down the waist section prior to re-gluing and he's still a head taller than a standard IG. I just added a holstered pistol and the binos:

The veteran I found on eBay, I believe it's from the old Future Warriors range by Grenadier models. Added some pouches and backpacks:

Just finished off the last of my modular wall sections and took some pics with grunts;

The finished crew of my downed valk:

**Rogue Wolves**

I recon these guys would be fairly easy to do leg swap conversions on . . .

These are amazing ! What game system are you playing with these mini's ?

**Ash 1**

The modern British Infantry were picked up at the Salute exhibition a couple of years ago for the bargain price of £1 each. I just really liked the amount of detail on them, the pouches even have the ITW Nexus clips on them.

Size wise they could be used as IG:

**MattRendar**

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Ash 1**

Cheers.

Got these a few days ago from http://www.underfireminiatures.com/page5.htm Very nice detail, uniforms and webbing are spot on, only thing is they are 20mm!

These are the smallest little blokes I've tried to paint yet, not finished off the eyes yet (need smaller brush)

Rhodesian Light Infantry (stick 1)

Rhodesian Light Infantry (stick 2)

Rhodesian Light Infantry (stick 3)

Selous Scouts

Size comparison with IG grunt:

**Rewdan**

Ratlings stand ins? Hehe

**TheLionOfTheForest**

I was gonna say Halflings ? some other strain off the human dna branch living in a corner of the galaxy somewhere?

Def T2!

**spaceXjam**

this is without a doubt the best imperial guard models i have ever seen anywhere

**DemetriDominov**

Awesome Awesome stuff. Love the Skitarri.

**dsteingass**

Abhumans are now tolerated in the 6Ed rules! Completely legal.

And BTW..AWESOME WORK!

**Farseer Mael Dannan**

These are awesome!

**Commander Cain**

I would tell you how amazing they looked... if only I could see them! You should really get round to uploading your images to Dakka so we don't have to deal with photobucket and it's bandwidth limitations.

**Ash 1**

They'll reappear in a few days, always do, it's like magic . . .

**dsteingass**

It's $25 for the whole year...well worth it IMHO.

well maybie if you didnt update so much, it wouldnt be a problem

**Ash 1**

Not really infantry, but still IG . . . with guns

**Rogue Wolves**

Its looking really great! Now I must admit I did pick up the valejo paints you said you used, but how the heck do you do those awsome paint chips?? Its incredibley realistic and makes it look so cool!

**Ash 1**

Mate, its easy. Either paint the dark colour first and then edge it with the light. Or paint the lighter colour and fill in over the top with the dark.

**Lone Cat**

A good mix of new and old.
