Great work, the force looks pretty awesome (not to mention you started about when I did back with 3rd/4th in the early 00's...).

I really like the guy on the radio with the crimson beret and eyes on the sky, almost like a contemporary Combat Controller JTAC, that and the high visbility marker panels (like the contemporary ones we tied on our rigs in the desert)...

Looks sharp, and shows just how good a force looks when painted with some great basic methods. Very unified, they all appear to come from the same regiment, yet stand out from the run of the mill Cadians; your turret selection and extra greeblies (especially the baggage stapped wherever they could find a slot, with marker panels on top...) on the armor really made that clear. Of course, the high vis marker panels are obviously needed when you have a Vulture for support! Another awesome piece with enough reality for us in this millienia to relate to the far future.

Thanks!

A lot of the details are based off personal experience living out of armored vehicles for extended periods... they wind up looking like gypsy wagons after a while.

The company commander on the radio is a favorite of mine, if the mission commander is firing his weapon instead of working the net then he's screwed up big time.

I just need to get over the fact that almost none of my guardsmen are wearing the proper protective equipment (eye protection, helmets,gloves, SLEEVES) but in the future it's more important to look cool.

My only wish now is that I could find an opponent who had a fully painted army as well... rather than the typical bunch of grey, partially assembled models piled in a cardboard box

Don't forget the reflective belt with the eye-pro! Conversion idea for a later date...
