Ah, RT days nostalgia! those old IG look good!

Hi Shas!

More imperial guard painted. These guys are assault troops. I chose lots of swords to give them that gothic look.



These three are (from the left) medic, artillery captain and another mercenary I never got round to painting.



Another medic, with arms from empire militia, and assault trooper, this time with guns from a forge world steel legion dude - they look right for RT.

They look great. I also like the facial expressions and poses of the three gentlemen on the left side of the top photo. They appear to be distracted from their pistol shooting by something coming at them from the direction of the viewer. I like to imagine that something funny is happening in front of them that they haven't quite figured out yet.

They do look a bit distracted from what they're shooting at.

This guy is never distracted from shooting, ever.

I went all out on his highlights. He has a base coat of the same blue-grey mix I've been using for the guardsmen. I wanted to tie him in, visually.

I love that old assassin. The blue-grey looks really nice, and very different from the standard black.

I think blue-grey is a more realistic camouflage colour than black. And more fun to paint!

Beautiful work on an icon of RT history. Love it.

Ah! The classic Assassin model. Outstanding work on it, Weety!

Thanks!

Today its the psykers turn.

Looks like an old gene stealer magus...

Sure does. But he is a psyker. If you can't afford a magus then he is a good sub.

Here he is ww.solegends.com/citcat94/cat1994121-02.htm

I have a damaged spare one... I reckon he has magus potential.

Great looking melon-head psyker, Weety. I think I might have that guy somewhere. Unpainted, of course.

Well I look forward to the inevitable day when you paint him then!

There's a new judge in town...

Love the Arbites, I wish GW would re-sculpt them at some point. Such amazing models especially for the time. He looks awesome, I love the badge with the blue glow almost.

He turned out great weets. His IS the law!

Love that Judge. Looks real mean!

Ahhh!!! I love the Arbites!!! I always wanted some of them, but didn't want to pay ebay prices.

I know valhalla! I cannot believe how much he is worth now. I wish I had bought more back when. I would like a whole squad. Warhammer seems to be approaching a tulip moment on feebay...

Thanks for stopping by all. I totally copied this paint scheme from judge dredd,

Good job on the paint scheme. Once again, you make an old mini come alive.

Lots of nice work, Weety. Liking the not-Dredd.

Loving all the new models Weety... You seem to have been on maximum painting overdrive... The command squad is particularly sweet, and the Arbites (I thought it was actually a JD mini at first - made me contemplate stripping and repainting my old perp minis - I got a few of these lying about - http://www.solegends.com/citjd/jd3perps3.jpg)

I love my repaints, think of it as a second chance to do a model justice.

I find fairy powerspray is the best for stripping. Monkeytroll recomended it and it smells of lemons unlike dettol, which to my mind smells like whiskey mixed with vinegar..

You've been on a roll recently weety, lots of lovely painted models, not had a chance to comment until now.

Oh on the fairy powerspray I was reading on another dakka post that they have changed the formula and the new one doesn't strip paint anymore. The picture on the bottle is slightly different.

Hmm. I'm still working with some I bought last year. I appreciate the info.

Damn you Proctor and Gamble!!

Great looking minis. I especially like the old school sentinels.

Very awesome stuff indeed.

D

Great work on the Arbite, Weety - I love the scheme.

Hi evildrcheese and azazelx.

Well I've been busy but I'm stalled on the assault squad due to needing two more torsos. I bought some but then noticed the seller was on holiday, so patience is needed.

Instead I turned to the sentinels. Here is progress so far on the first two:



In an effort to get two more sentinels on their feet, I've been experimenting with press molding. Here is a press mold of the foot.



Apart from needing more feet I'm short on assault cannons. I'll be using the one from the space crusade marines as its the same size once excess plastic is removed.

Also I need another pilot. I think I might have a tank commander somewhere who would fit.

Very nice egg walkers. Where are you getting incomplete models? That doesn't seem like something anyone would bother to sell.

Same place I buy everything - feebay.

all sorts of bits and parts are for sale on the internet. Incomplete just means cheaper.

Excellent stuff. I love these old school armies.
