Not finished off anything IG for a while, been having a bit of a 20mm sabbatical.
These blokes have been taunting me from the depth of my box of half done things . . .

Pig Iron bods, legs, arms; Anvil heads; IG helmets & CC weapons.




more to follow.

Those the new "near future" bodies?

I really love that modern realism to you Ig modelling and painst schemes. they are beautiful man!

Almost, they are the Kolony rebel squad leaders, torso body armour/molle kit and weapons look to be the same, so I'd guess they are totally compatible.

@ mayajid: Thanks a lot.

These are just about done with as well.

Early resolution for the New Year is to get my platoon of Chaos IG finished (only been four years so far).

These are the squads as they now stand:

I am staggered. Those are the likely the best Renegade / Chaos IG I've ever seen. Considering how many threads I follow / have seen of this type of force that's a significant statement. I've always been impressed w/ the work you do and the techniques you use, and this is one of the best yet. Or maybe I'm just a softie for Freedom Fighters standing against Imperial tyranny.

Really looking forward to seeing more of your Chaos IG when you have them to share.

Cheers matie, unless I come across a bargain lot on eBay I will probably just be doing the one platoon. I do have one of those FW evil Ogryn types and a few zombies (need more zombies) plus a few vehicles.

these latest IG look great, I think I'll have to get some pigiron bodies

Finally finished this off:



More pics in terrain thread

Your rust effects are consistently on par with or exceed the best I've ever seen, even in military diorama and model train displays. Always amazed w/ your work and always happy to see an update.

Where did you get the wire mesh you used to make the HESCO barriers?

@ Skalk Bloodaxe: Thanks very much, I've not done much with 40k of late as I've been somewhat sidetracked into 20mm & 28mm modern stuff (I've added a link in sig), but this thing needed finishing off.

@Nowlan: It's called Wireform, found it in a local Art shop.

Thats one nice blog you got there...

This chap received a new drill bit

That is just beautiful.

Great basing too!

Cheers mate, there are some more pics :

Yeah I found them already! It is mighty confusing you posting the same thing in different places!

Only two . . .

I've got one thread in the P&M blogs section, for any & all WIP projects, generally with a finished picture.
Then I have four threads in the showcase section for finished work. One for grunts, one for armour/vehicles, one for terrain pieces and a recent one for modern historical 20 & 28mm stuff. I suppose it could all have gone into one, but it would be impossible to find old stuff and trawling through would max out Photobucket account fairly quickly.

Great drill , did you find that in your BITS box...

I think it was a left over piece from a Ramshackle games mini.

These have been languishing half done in a box, awaiting some TLC:



And for some weird reason, even though I thought I'd talked myself out of it, I started to redo the uniforms on all my old metal IG . . .

In an effort to shake off the effects of waning IG mojo, I picked up a fairly forlorn looking Chimera from that well known auction site.



Not yet decided what to do with it, but was thinking about a knocked out terrain piece. Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated . . .


I have managed to re start my IG uniforms repaint by splitting them into smaller squad groups:



and the rest:

I like the terrain piece idea. A popped turret and the Chimera askew w/ the right side burrowed / buried into a muddy bank.

Noo not the IG armour repaint! I have done that twice now and it consumes weeks of my life!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with that beaten up chimera.

Awesome stuff I see, good work .

Wow, this stuff makes me feel quite inadequate. However, there is something I noticed:

Did you ever finish that crashed valkyrie?

Turn the old Chimera into a Hydra?

@ Commander Cain: Yes, the dreaded repaint, not too bad on the tank, the 80+ IG grunts in need of a new uniform, at the same time, may have been a step too far . . .
@ happygolucky: Thanks a lot.
@ JB: I do have a Hydra turret, on a terrain piece . . . I might have a look at that, thanks for the idea.
@ Smitty: I finished that some time ago, just had a rummage for the pics and they are in the Finished terrain thread (see sig). I might as well post them here as well:







Crew

Fugly tank has been put together. Thanks to Alex for the turret gun and mantlet.
