Love the scale of these guys. Always hated that IG were only slightly smaller than SM yet they are portrayed as 8 ft genetically engineered superhumans. You have incredible skill with green stuff....all around nice work!

Looking great here! Agreed with the others who said you should be getting more love for this, It's all really nice! The yellow in particular is nice, not too mustard like which you tend to see with fist armies, keep it up!

Ambitious project, but so far looking great.I love the models, and the tone of the yellow suits perfectly for these guys.
Keep it up.

Subscribed and in awe of this project! The true-scaling and paint-job just makes these guys look so much more impressive than the standard models. They really do look like the Emperor's finest! Well done!

Very impressive! I have to admit as I was reading the thread I worried when you said you were going for a muted paint scheme, but after seeing some of the pictures it looks phenominal. Didn't really like the purple plasma gun, but if you go blue as someone suggested I think it would make the model pop. These are the first true to scale models i've seen and its been very cool to watch as you built them up.
Do you have any pictures of your molding process? I'm probably out of my league by to try it, but would love to see the idea and process come to life.

Ya know I was totally over making a Fist army and now I'm going to go broke because of this. Great work by the way. Keep on keeping on.

I'm really liking the muted-yellow look. Very refreshing from all the bright Imperial Fist armies you see. I was also a fan of your Cube army.
However, I've gotta ask. Why are your dreads colored so funny? Are they recasts?

Awsome on so many levels- You truly capture the "bad @$$es" that they are suppose to be. Do you have any plans on making any true scale tanks for them? (just planting seeds  )

Those newer guys you built are looking great... big improvement and most of the awkwardness of the CH kit is gone, and the army is really starting to come together and look awesome!
After you're done with this you need to look at some imperial guard or mortals for these guys to ally with so they look that much more awesome in comparison.

Theyre from China, they cast them in a weird kind of resin i guess, it seems to cut and glue all the same. Automatically Appended Next Post: hey check it out i made this artwork with my girlfriend (she is a crt tv wizard)

These are amazing, you see so many truescale projects but none with painted minis in them, so credit to you sir for painting them all, keep up the good work.
I also love the colour scheme. nice to see a yellow army and you have pulled the yellow of really well, looking forward to seeing the rest of the force painted

Awesome models and paintjob.
Quite possibly the worst 'counts as' army ever created. Might actually become the new posterchild of 'counts as' abuse past some of the 'admech' armies that can be necrons, tyranids or daemons at any time.
This is probably why this project is not getting more love. Lot of people do not 'love' horribly confusing and unfair 'counts as' or proxies. Neat display models though.

@nkelsch
I think thats a bit rough, Ive made way more confusing proxies than this army. Have you seen my 'cubes of tzeentch' army?
this stuff is pretty tame, i think people just dont respond because I generally make my updates at what is very early in the morning for most dakka users so my updates arent noticed
