Imperial Guard, Storm Trooper Squad.
I in general am not able to paint, it wash the second attempt to paint model in life.
English language not native for me, therefore I am sorry if I incorrectly speak.

The coversions look good....very unique squad. Good paint work.

I like these a lot.
Fantastic painting and converting.
However, why are they wearing leg-warmers?

Really good work!

They aren't leg warmers. They're spats/gaiters.

They look nice and Prussian, well done.

I wanted to make difference of "Storm Trooper" from infantry bulk, to allocate them therefore I made by it an individual uniform adhering to the basic principles.
And the name "Grenadiers" suits them in this case more

To make them recognizable was my main objective.
Each race of Imperial Guard has the real prototype, Krieg-is Germans on the First World War, Pretoria - a colonial form of Englishmen and so further - all of us know about it.
Mordians IG - I consider that their image is taken from Prussia on French-Prussian war of 1870 and consequently I tried to make respective appearance.


The Mordiansky guard interests me, but it is not enough data on it, as there are not enough data on its uniform, on color of regiments. Therefore I decided not only to make to myself game army Mordiansky IG, but also to make color and Uniform tables and as to describe and make drawings of arms of guard, for example so




I will continue to work and do more different miniatures of IG including "forgotten" regiments


I badly speak on English, but I think that you understood the main sense of the text

Looking great keep up the good work. Kreig are more of French/German WW1 feel.

Nice conversion, these are by far the coolest looking mordians i've seen

Very cool. Excellent. Very unique. How did you make them?

They are fantastic! I like the puttees on the feet, and the lasgun covers.

I'm a little surprised by how 'steampunk' they are - they could almost be Vostroyan.

The painting is good too - it's as good as I can manage anyway, so I can't criticise! Good use of washes, but I don't think you need the blue wash on the chainsword. A black wash might have looked better.

I look forward to seeing the rest of the army. Are you using normal Mordian models for the normal troopers?

no, I didn't use ready models, I do all the army itself so it is more interesting and more original,I did them here is how these http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/445042.page

Very cool models! As stated, a little steam punk influence there - marvellous!

Anyone else see that laspistol and think "Who you callin scruffy lookin?" XD

Jokes aside, these are awesome!!!

Hope to see more

Great work. Very unique squad you've got.

It's been said, but great looking conversions with a nice nod to history. Great work.

Good stuff.

Awesome conversions and paintwork, though the guns/backpacks look a littl too monotone. I'd like to see some detailing/color variation on them...

Well done .

Are they wearing loose socks?

Amazing work!!

I have never seen mordian storm troopers.

keep up the good work

Great job, really like to see Stormtroopers that are not generic but have an army look.

The fact that you say your bad doesn't give you justice these are amazing

This is a nice update on the classic Mordian look, the conversion is seamless.

Damn fine. Can you put up some sort of conversion guide, this interests me greatly. Also, a small bit of criticism the guns do look a tiny bit long.

Awesome!

I want some. Although I thought the Mordians were USMC in their fancy uniforms.

Some and think, but I know many other people who perceive Mordian Guard as a prototype German for 1870. It is possible to find a lot of identical both in a uniform and details, and in symbolics.

Definitely Germany in the late nineteenth-century - mind you the famous Blue Dress uniform for the USMC came about around the same time ... it was the fashion then! So chic!

KrexPexFex - great job on this unit!

It is absolutely unimportant, for me the Mordiansky guard is Germany therefore I do all the army in this style similar to the German army. here for example veterans and sergeants in my Mordian IG army .

One of the few Mordian Guard Storm Troopers I've seen, and these have to be one of the best
