The Last Chancers look gritty and beautiful!

They look very...... Realistic!

Just finished this, used same colours as the speeder:

Looks like someone needs photobucket pro lol

Here's some Ad Mech types:

Very nice

I love the sapper and the speeder. The poses have so much character to them and its looks so real. You do some sick work man, makes me wana try my hand and some heavier conversions.

Your painting is really good but your posing is genius. I'm inspired.

Very nice work man, especially on the uniforms.

If your ever looking for another one, might try http://a-tacs.com/]A-Tac though I have no idea how will it will transfer over to minis.

Keep it up man

Cheers guys, all comments much appreciated.
@ Sckitzo: Thanks for the link that actually looks quite doable, I've got a few Inq 28/Necromunda figures to do and was thinking of giving them all different camo trousers, to try out some other patterns.
So will have a go, funnily enough it looks a bit like one of the stages I went through with the MTP blokes




Thiis is another pattern I wanted to have a go at:
Although I'm not sure if I can make it work in 28mm.
Got this slowly ongoing test group of 1:35 scale blokes who will end up in a small diorama as a 1970's Rhodesian Light Infantry stick.
Just a shame the FN's look a little undersized

Excellent stuff, makes me feel sad that I didn't put more effort into my own IG's.

Your right, those FN's are a bit off, strange. I look forward if you do the A-Tacs another non gaming community I belong to showed me that stuff and I love the look, just not sure on if I love them enough for 60 USD per pair of pants...

this stuff is great... very inspiring. please don't stop with the awesome!

Wow these armys look awsome! man well done Loving the land speeder

I love the landspeeder, additionally, your guardsmen are extremely dynamic. Love it.

Just found pics of my old school Stormtroopers:





Some preachers:



Counts as Ratlings:



An objective marker:

Dude your mini's are lookin' sweet. loving them.

so much friking awsome stuff. srsly, stop being so awsome your making everyones IG look bad! Love it all the speeder is awesome, the sniper with respirator and catachan arms is one of my favs. Keep up this good work!

This stuff looks so good I'm gona need to redo some of my own IG, so I'm not so embarrassed by them.

I really like the speeder and I may need to steal the conversion idea...

Some of the stuff in the OP makes me think of Gaunt's Ghosts...Its a good look. Although watch out with some of your posing. Theres some with guns just stuck to hands that, in real life, just wouldn't be able to hold it...it ruins a really well painted model.

i like your preachers!

These are really well painted, I love your camo and weathering.

Bloke pointing pistol, magically holding lasgun in other hand without recourse to opposable thumb does spring to mind.
He's waiting for a grippy hand swap, ran out of bits.

Quite a few of the minis with lasguns in one hand are metal and came out of the blister that way; the one handed, butt on hip poses are FW bits.
I've copied the holding weapon by pistol grip pose on a couple of blokes with demo charges and a chap with a mine detector.
From personal experience I never had a problem holding a rifle by the grip one handed whilst carrying something in the other hand (firing and hitting something would have been a whole different story!)
If it's this guy in the middle, I totally agree with you:

great work. love the packs and your weathering, and poses for that matter.

Yeah, that was the guy I had in mind...

Couldn't help but chuckle at some of the derp faces in the first post.
Great job and all, just watch for silly facial expressions

Yup, those sculptors over at GW certainly like their South Park.
My favorite is this bloke with his Kirk Douglas like butt chin:

Very nice work here!

pssh you should know that the carying handle isn't' for actual use! or maybe that's just a stupid rule for the the us military... BTW is that guy on page one blowing a gum bubble? or am I just seeing Crap lol

A comment stated earlier that this was some of the best guard to surface in a long time. I agree and you sir are a painting genius.
