Thanks for sharing matey , its cool to see all those iG boys , They have a valhallan look to them , now i think about it , great work all round matey. The tanks and infantry loo great together.

Thanks Neil! It also works in games of 40K as the opponent only sees the tanks, or if they see one or two of the troops, they get a nice mobile 4+ cover save! Alas, my apartment has so little in the way of space for a table, but I could snap pics one day at the local game shop and use the scenery I helped with assembling to replace worn out card stock buildings with. The plastics glued to MDF board look quite nice. That would give a nice feel!

As for the Valhallan edge of the minis, that is in no small part thanks to Vik shipping me the heads he had no use for! (Russian style heads in a Victorian inspired army just would not sit well, Vik needs more tamo-chanters? and pith helms!) These pics also give the viewer a feel for how massive the metal beasts actually are, dwarfing the men as it were.

Looking pretty awesome Shas! With the advancing poses, and that awesome urban camo they look perfect choking on exhaust!

LOL! choke on exhaust or choke on bullets, their choice, and I showed which one they made. Also helps how they have masks and rebreathers.

i demand that you make a nice neutral photobox so that shots like that can be used with old pics of the wars and then cobbled together in one nice scene...gosh!!!

Well, the situation does not allow me to make such a thing at this time. But I know what you mean these guys deserve a nice bit of scenery to pose with!

the flamers look good with their new furcaps!! will you add a lens effect to the masks goggles?

@Vik: I added a drop of electric blue to the lenses, but can likely give a dash of white for that extra shiny effect.

Meanwhile, more uniform details! Collars and cuffs!

whoa.... that red totally took me unprepared...where did that come from...? is that a squad marking or are those greatclaoks just uniformed that way? i think i have to get used to that a bit... startled me a little^^

Hey shazza , the guys are looking good , nice work with the lenses.

I was inspired by your guys to make this , hope you don't mind.

exactly what i had in mind... now get that old style movie tarnish on the pic and you have nice moody styled pics of these fellas!!! cool work neil!

Sweet photo shop skills there Neil!

I have the konfederacy made up of several planets, each supplies what they can, and the makers for their helmets and armor make them in O.D Green rather than grey, the Spetznats get black armor with grey splinter patterns as that was a specific order. The coats and much of the uniforms are urban/Mountain/winter camo and the result is the mix you see. The Arkeletsyans make their own gear and hence the armor for them will be the dark Adeptus Battle Grey.And their coats will have the camo.

Completely get it. If you do some "fluff" for these guys, be sure to include that info becasue it's not likely that I'll be the only person to wonder that.

Looking great so far, and thanks for the followup.

I am trying to remember if that was including in my Khadrovian Konfederacy fluff in Daka-fiction section, may have sunk to a few pages .

Found it, page three of this thread, it also has many banter posts between Vik, myself and Shrike as well as some rip roaring action stories about some Khadrovian Characters!

yup... i think on one page there actually was a small bit of banter too....*hides with a hint of gilt in the shadows*

But at least i linked and bumped so he can find it

yup read it there too^^

I made sure to tie things in to fit! I can also likely make a Khadrovian fluff for the Warpath game if needs be! ^^

Warpath

??? have i missed something?

If folks want to change to another game system, I can adapt to it. I also have another game set from a college professor/gamer " Lazergrenadiers"

lazergrenadiers... sounds german to me... as i just researched.. dust tactics? aha...

He had images of his own marines and the 25mm and such troops with anime models and mixed robot torsos on WW-II tank chassis in place of turrets! But I think I would adjust the points costs down as his game a marine is 80 pts! but all manner of weapons were possible

Also, all those miniatures w/o a game set to work with? Gotta be ready for any and all eventualities!
