these look awsum so far! What I love about the Guard is that I have no interest in the Auxilia minis whatsoever, but seeing a Guard army come together is always appealing, no matter the theme. Using names for your platoons is pretty cool as an idea too, instead of the 'red platoon. blue platoon etc.' from the 3rd ed codex. Makes sense they'd have their own names, thanks for the inspiration. Can't wait to see these boys painted. Keep up the good work, Commissar Olthannon!

Great idea for a kitbash, can't wait to see how they turn out

The feudal theme looks awesome. And that they of all regiments are airborne is quite an innovative idea.

Thanks Pyro! My old regiment was airborne, these lot are armoured cav!

Thanks Gobert much appreciated mate no brain power for painting but I can manage a bit of glueing!

Cheers mate! The painting will take a while yet, still a lot to build!

Cheers Paddy, glad you think so!


So little update on what I've been working on. A relic tank for the new Codex.

Rogal Dorns get a tank commander now and I needed to use up my Dracosan from the Auxilia box.

Originally I was going to turn it into a Malcador chassis variant but as they seem to be getting no love I decided on something a little more elaborate. So I've been busy mucking about amongst the bits to make this relic tank.



Mortis Malleus rolling on to glory. Still some gap filling to do but it's on its way.

Cheers all!

That is a very cool customization!

Those feudal guard are looking super cool. Great idea!

That tank is cool AF.
Excellent use of bits for the conversions.

That looks like it could belong to Trench Crusade! Looking awesome.

Great work on the Malleus, really fits the vibe well

Olthannon,

Keep at it with those Dragoons.

Nice converted tank.

Cheers,

CB

that looks amazing! I love the Feudal Guard theme to it. Again, like I said, all Guardsmen are cool in my book. Love the relic and the shield behind the turret. GREAT design and build. Keep it up, sarge!

Now these are propper kitbashes!

Thanks, I had the idea brewing for a while but was busy with other projects. Finally caved in

Cheers! I always try and keep my leftovers, there will always be a use for them eventually.

Thankee kindly Muette! I am sorely tempted by Trench Crusade, it looks awesome.

Been a bit quiet through February on the ol' Warhammer front, real life and baby and then we all had a cold and I was at an awards dinner where my team won.

Never uploaded the platoon command squad.



Lieutenant Heskgill commands Aquila platoon, wielding a relic hammer as their symbol of office. The handle contains the fibula of Saint Tarbinus - a well renowned pilgrim in the Bernician Sector who gave her life in defence of the planet Hexania VII during an Ork raid in M37.234.

The rest of the retinue contains vox-operator Charlton, Chirurgeon Jenkins, standard bearer Milburn and Cpl. Stephenson carries the ancient plasma gun Ustori to battle.

Cheers for now!

Loads of character in that command squad, I like it.

Very cool, loving how you're using the kits , looking forward seeing what you do next!
