I HAVE FOUND A WAY OF MAKING LONGER COATS WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE SKIRTS OF DRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the hips need to be widened so they look more "maleish", I have found the answer, I will try moulding again soon!!! stay tuned

I hadn't seen these guys since you painted them up. The GS'd facemask turned out really nicely. I look forward to seeing what you do for longcoats, but frankly, I don't think these guys need them.

my 2 cents.

- Looks much better without the overcoat/skirt.
- I think the mask would look better in dark grey/black
- Pastel green (maybe it's just the photo), doesn't feel like a very martial color. Might want to think of another color the for chainsword and bolter housings

Thought about rebreather hose: Leave a little slack in the hose so that it looks like your guardsman can turn his head if necessary. I would definitely try using files & shaping tools to fix up the "skirts". Scarab gave me some files lately & its the biggest painting/modeling breakthrough that I've had since learning to drybrush five years ago.

And the conversion of the Guardsmen carrying the heavy weapon is cool too- what does the base look like?

The base is a custom made one consisting a standar fantasy calvary base with a standard 25mm round base cut in half glued on either side of the long base

BTW, a little tip on the Chimera, if you build another... You should put the lasguns in their firing ports before glueing the sides on, saves some time and effort.
I found this out getting halfway through my mechanized...

Anyway, the projects coming along great! keep it up, and more pics!

Fantastic work on the gas masks! They look really good. Although I'm not a fan of the longer coat you tried to make with GS. Something's off and it doesn't look right. Keep at it though. Those masks will give you a really unique looking army.

Hey guys, heres some more pics, not many but a few, and I also need help with a scheme, I have a couple of choices that I made on Dawn Of War, I like my current one, but it's a bit boring, need to "spice" it up a little bit, make unique schemes for commander units, and so I have posted some pics here, and here are some converted chimera turret to a heavy bolter, more of infantry soon!!!

Without a doubt.

Only because as much as you want your army to look realistic, it is a table top game we play, and bright colorful armies are much cooler to look at, and usually get higher painting scores than a brown/green blob, realistic look.

and I would do the gasmask a different color than the helmet/armour.

cool conversions as of yet. i definitely like the storm bolter refitted as a turret mounted heavy. but if you haven't given the autocannoneer a hand already, i think it'd be cool if he stays handless, or perhaps some makeshift hook or something. oooh, maybe a bandaged stump

very good guardsman, nice touch with the bolter, the paint jobs up to u, what do you want ur Guard regiment to come from, forgeworld, dessert, forest, hive, it goes on so paint ot what you want them to usually fight on, like my regiment comes from a dessert world in a sytem with a forge world so they are high tech dessert radiers with a camo of brown (rocks) and yellow(sand) and i have a story behind the regiment so yeah, it depends on what you like painting and what ur regiment comes from so yeah
