Great job with the dark heresy stuff, RW! I haven't seen many people carve those cultists up in the way you have yet, and they've got so much potential... The reclaimed commissar and heavy stubber guy in particular are ace. Can't wait to see where you take em!
The watercolours are awesome, and it's really good to see some concept are - any chance you've been inspired by a particularly spiky group of rats? The hand holding the scope is a little strange, but I'm guessing that was a late addition. The colours are wonderful!

I dunno LDD, In the Horus Heresy novels I have read, they really don't go into a lot of detail as to how the Imperial Army looks, I remember them speaking of Las-lock rifles and shakos though. We need to unbrainwash ourselves from the Cadian Look, there are more Guard uniform styles than we can even imagine.

^THAT
I know what you mean, for one, I love the light drop-troop las varient, it looks so sleek and like a P-90
which i like way more than the a bit weird looking P-90... somehow the image of that gun was ruined by stargate... they overused that gun in that show...
The toploading P-90 makes mroe sense for drop troops though, The Famas, just looks too much like an SA-80...
Now as much as I love the beloved British SA-80, it just has too many problems lols... and you know me, I like things to make sense within the game... so P-90 it is
actually since the SA-80 is a shorter version of the L85... that one i like best of the british gun range (atm at least...) somehow they make the bullpop look just pop^^
i don´t really know a lot about these guns... so i just go for the rule of cool here...

Well anything that was the precursor to the SA-80 and later models, had the issue of jamming and barrel warpage. which is why the short barrel was brought into use... tbh, the now shorter barrel range is negligible compared to having to replace the barrel at half its supposed life usage...
that makes sense... tho i never heard of that error of a HK G3... same area back then and you could fire almost endlessly the way heavier amo out of these butugly gunsticks... it´s a puzzler why the L85 was so error friendly...
I never understood it either... might have been a manufacturing error, or possibly the stress testing wasn't as thorough as it should have been... who knows... at least its fixed now
the shortened barrel doesnt make it any less safe tbh... it just makes it easier for drop insertions... and tbh, I'd jump out of a plane knowing it wouldn't snag on my ruddy shoot lols
well american guns are the icon of warfare the last century... you can´t imagine how often i mimiced the sound of an M16 whe i played with paymobil as a kid^^
you know damn well who I mean... them germans who make ruddy big sniper guns... which kick like a mule and make you spend three hours searching for the damned cartridge...
lmao... when I think of guns in the last century I tend to think Bren, Browning, Lewis, Enfield, Webley.
I was brought up loving WW2 and everything British to do with it. My grandfather flew as part of the RAF coastal command, flying Wellington's and Mosquito's.
for me the Mozzie was one of the most iconic British craft to ever fly...
What is the function of the HUGE iron sights on that weapon?

muhahahahaha...cough... er... right ... and you are painting massmurdering monsters... ok... you probably will build up a defense as this is merely art... but a vegetarian that is eating fish...as its not landdwelling animal... is fishy too... if you catch my drift...
