So, I have a Blog going right now, called The Great Imperial Guard Project, where I am attempting to assemble and paint a 7k pt army of IG in around 6 weeks. It has been brought to my attention that, since I only post pictures of the finished models, it might be construed as a P&M gallery, rather than as a WIP blog. This brings up understandable criticism, because I am putting out more than a squad per day. Therefore, I am going to do a step-by-step WIP today of me Painting a 10 man squad of Kasrkin. The actual painting time, I believe, should come in around 3 hours. I will take a picture right before and after each step, and put on a time stamp, in order to prove that I can do this.
