Painted:



Plus 4 Taurox proxies painted:



Decals will be added, once I have converted and painted nine Chimeras ...

This thread is incredible-Very inspiring I just got the Meng Toon Chuchill for my current project (a proxy guard force). Very nice kit, although I'm a bit worried about the paint flaking off the tracks (which are rubber). I probably should have left them un-primed and then drybrushed them with silver paint, but hopefully they'll be okay. Anyway-keep up the great work. Your squat sculpts are really cool (hopefully GW will see this thread and get inspired ).

@SpaceGoblin1980 - Yeah, the tracks are a bit of a problem. All I did was give then a grey dry-brush and I reckon that'll probably fall off as well.

I'm glad you are enjoying this thread .

It's been a while but I've started sculpting Junior Officers again. This is the first one and he's telling the troops behind him to "HOLD!" ...



The next one will be started tomorrow so there will be more to come .

Another junior officer, this tiime with a power hammer and a smile ...



The next one is partially finished and it may end up with a power axe... or a power hammer... I haven't decided yet .

Wicked looking pick-hammer

Cheers . I thought it would be a bit different to the usual hammers .

The next one will be a bit more mainstream.

Love the pick-hammer. Most characterful, and the poses on the Junior Officers are fab

Thanks for sharing

I'm always astonished at how well you do with the faces..

Another two great models!

Is that a powerhammer? Or are you just happy to see me?

Love the character in that face.

Purely awesome work overall. Superb sculpting. And those tiny old school Squats... I'm about to burst in tears of joy!

Thank you ... I am glad that people like them .

I have just finished the final Junior Officer (apart from the basing tab) :



Next up, will be a Standard Bearer .

A Standard Bearer, today :

The next batch of WIP troops :

Standard-bearer is awesome. So much detail in their faces. It's awesome.

Cheers .

I am trying to make these as characterful as possible, without going full-on 'Toon' with them. I want them to be fun and have a little bit of humor about them .

I've had some army time, this weekend so I prepped some troops... an officer and some Sgts:



Some support troopers:



and some progress on a few sculpts:

The Lasgunner and Heavy Flamer Trooper are now finished (apart from the basing tab):



I'll be directing my focus towards the two Medics now .

If you are interested in the Sgts and Officers, there's a Kickstarter going at the moment...

As usual, very good sculpts Inso.

Cheers,

CB

Thank you .

I've finished the pair of Medics now :

Medics are looking great, and your latest sculpts are looking fab all around

Thanks for sharing

Need to make another guy with his fist out so the Medic can be brofisting him, great sculpting as always.

Really enjoying seeing these sculpts, especially if they continue to being made available via Macrocosm. Have the Commissar painted and a Sergeant and now working on the rest of the command squad. So much fun to paint, thank you.

Thank you everyone . I appreciate it .

The bro-fist is a cool idea... it may happen ...

Me and Chris (at Macrocosm) have a great arrangement... I sculpt things, he sells them... so I hope this will continue for at least another 15 or so miniatures .

Once the two officers are finished, there are plans for a few more Comms troopers, a bunch of lasgunners and a separate autocannon for the heavy weapon trooper.

After that, there are five close combat troopers and an Engineseer planned... so lots to keep things interesting.

I plan to have 7 different lasgunners, 6 of them will get two additional heads... so all together, there should be 19 lasgunners. I think that will be plenty of variety for an army .

Loving the progress pics. I just chipped in for the full pledge on the current campaign, looks like you've already got enough new greens for another KS! Need to figure out my add-ons to build out full squads, but maybe I should hold off if there's more variety coming. These are going to drop right in to my ongoing RT Guard/Squat project.

I don't run any of the sales/Kickstarter stuff so I have no idea what will be in any kickstarters or when they will happen. I have a general idea because of what I send to Chris but on the whole, I get little surprises too .

It'll be quite a while before there are lots more lasgunners/comms... a good few months so if you feel the urge... don't let that stop you !

I look forward to seeing how you paint/convert them .

I'm keeping the machine rolling with an AutoCannon to go with the existing Heavy Weapon Trooper and a Grenadier:



I'm not sure what's next yet .

Autocannon is awesome and every army needs a few grenade throwers. Great stuff.

With the completion of this Lasgunner:



I can now send the latest batch off to Macrocosm Miniatures for casting :



Less than 15 sculpts/conversions to go now .

I feel like the variety of faces is particularly strong in this set, great work overall!

It's also cool to see painted casts of your sculpts start appearing in the wild (a thread or two here on Dakka, for instance)
