I'm planning on a Task Force 141 inspired Imperial Guard force;(please tell me what colors to use and how to paint them!!!!) and some advice on what other bits to use might be useful as well
also where can I get proper visored helmets?




I'm planning to use Max mini torsos




and the scout marine heads(with night vision and legs; I'm also going to experiment with a variety of different heads as well

and I'm going to experiment with two things; I'm going to first put the torsos on reverse to see If I can make the backpack part look like a chest rig as seen in the pic; I am also planning on making green stuff molle straps on the front of the vest as well(will this work?)

I might also experiment with the Favela task force 141 (need advice on painting jeans)


Thanks

The old metal Cadian Sentinel driver's head is a perfect match, but I have no idea where you'd get enough for a whole army. You can see one on the right here:



There's also on on the FW vets set:

Nice idea

If you're after random packs and pouches then I can recommend the Pig Iron set. They do some nice semi-hi-tech bits and pieces.

Colour wise I can see some graveyard earth and scorched brown in there. The green might need to be a mix between Catachan and camo green. Maybe some kommando Khaki or granite as well for the more muted grey/brown.

My client would like to make it clear to all employees of Games workshop ltd and affiliates that he is mearly making all interested parties aware of the existence of resin casting products and is not advocating the infringement of IP law.

This will look bad. You'll have backwards collars, abs on guys' lower backs, and it'll probably be leaning in a direction you don't want them to. Those torsos are cool, but don't turn them backwards. I like the ideas otherwise.

I believe this image is appropriate.

So how should I paint the desert fatigues in the desert loadout?
