Creating a post to track my project work for #theprimogenitor.
I came late to that project and compared to the pros who have been contributing I should probably back out but it calls to me so I go.
The first section is my sketches and story scraps to make a quilt of sorts. This first concept is for the guardsmen who “volunteer” for the first breach and expeditionary force. Once in secure a staging area for the second force. In this first concept for the breachers I wanted to show Contrast; For this concept I wanted them looking clean and healthy at least compared to the environment of grimdarkness around them on board. Rosy cheeked, fresh meat packed in classic fresh off the boat uniforms. Ripe with vitality, Altered before and after birth their shortened life spans are an unnecessary fear and worthy trade for the Strength and constitution they possess. The only traces on them From some previous post some oil and soot of the forges and shops they worked. They are too inexperienced to be as afraid as they should be.

the sketch sort of grew into a recruitment poster or advert and the challenge for me was evident. I have a fairly vivid and graphic style that’s not exactly grimdark.

Ok so here’s some pics of them in the custom necromunda board I’m making for them.

Update on the Goliath guard. Defining the shadows better. Still bashing the tenth man into a heavy flamer

Very envious of your artistic skills .

Great looking execution on the models as well.

Awesome idea. Those IG have been eating their spinach.

Nice work on those conversions, I wouldn't want to mes with them.

Those are some excellent muscle dudes.

GW could only hope any new Catachans they make are as cool as these. Well done!

Great concept and great execution! Thanks for sharing

Looks really good, will have to steal for my Penal Legion.

Can't help but think of DOOM here!
