Thanks guys! I was thinking the tanks needed more gray so I have decided to throw dozer blades on all of them. An interesting discovery was made in the bits box. Apparently I have enough bits to make, almost, a whole Basilisk. I ordered the Chimera sides today.

nice discovery! i actually found a whole ork battle wagon in mine once.

So the Company Command Squad is all finished. The standard has slate weathering powder on it to simulate the burns on the flag. Its hard to tell with my sorry pics. One would think that after all the PM blogs I have done I would have figured out a better way to take pictures. Oh well. Also have the Basilisk put together. I am especially pleased on this since it was a bits construct. That muzzle looking thing on the barrel is the Hell Hammer cannon from the Baneblade kit. I think it looks pretty cool.

really like the arty, well done.

You decided to skip the mantlet cover when magnetizing your russ? I figured out a pretty simple way to magnetize it to all 3 of the gun mantlets. Just added a small magnet to the top of each barrel where the cover will sit, then glued a small peice of a couple of staples (2 of them still stuck together, cut into a small square section) to the underside of the arch of the cover.

Pic for reference (to show where the small magnets were placed):

As a former Bret player, I very much enjoyed seeing the Men-At-Arms turned around into Imperial Guard. And if you're going to have an army that uses its infantry as 'human bullets', what better fit than those guys yeah?

I never saw the White Dwarf in question that inspired you to create them, but I'll add a sub in the hopes of seeing them fully arrayed for battle some day

You can however see the pics still from the WD verison on the Blog of the guy who submitted them. Dave Taylor:

Nice man! New developments look good. I really like the dozer blades!

Sweet! Thanks for linking me to it, I shall go forth and peruse.

Wow, lots of responses.

@panda- Thanks, I'm really happy with it. I think the muzzle makes it look mean.

@Nowlan- yeah, you are way better using magnets than I. Be honest with you, I forgot to use the mantlet. I have these big, oversized magnets I got a couple years ago. I should get the smaller ones like you use. I'll give it a shot on the next Russ.

@xeno99- glad you like them. Definitely check out Dave Taylor's stuff. He has great conversions and painting. He did an Adeptus Custodes army that is really cool. If you google image search Genswick Rifles you can find examples of other people's workin them.

@swampyturtle- thanks for posting the link, I checked it out myself.

@eldartau- Thanks man. I figured there needed to be some more color on the tanks. Besides I think the dozer blades matches up with the look of the army.

Nice work! You've pulled off some great conversions with these guys. I like the bright blue banner, too; I imagine it really pops against the metal and earth tones of the uniforms. Can we see a shot of the army so far?

@AzraelHunt- Thank you sir. I will post an army shot as soon as I finish this batch of guys.

Ive started the Basilisk, which I am liking more and more. I may try to build another for 2 Basilisks and 2 Russ', instead of 1 and 3 respectively. The guys will be the Basilisk crew, 2 guys for the Lascannon teams, and a sniper. He will "count as" a Ratling. I really like the unit, but the models give me the creeps. Blah. That should round out everything. Next up will be a squad of melta-vets and Rough Riders.

You should do artillery guard with your rifle men here. That would be amazing.

Im really digging this build. I like how the helmets seem to always cover their faces. Very cool

awesome stuff, can't wait to see the snipers

I like the new stuff man! Tanks ahoy!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. Got a little Basilisk action for you. I have been experimenting with guitar cord for cable and used it on the gunner. The ultimate plan is to kit bash some Storm Troopers. So, pics.....

Managed to finally finish the 2 Lascannon teams, 1 to go.

very well done, you should do some dirt effect on the tires of your guard.

I agree with Panda man but those look really good!

Thanks guys. Hey eldertau, when are we gonna get some new pics of those Wolves?

Ok, got 3 of the kit bash Stormtroopers finished up. They are pretty simple, Cadians with a head swap, trimmed Vox casters, trimmed lasguns, and some guitar wire. Also the last Lascannon. Im going to leave them be for a while and complete another veteran squad. Cant have a Genswick army without more Genswick guys.

The scopes are a awesome touch to those weapons really selling the elite look. Well done

Thanks Panda. I am hoping these guys look elite and not just like jazzed up Cadians. I guess time and paint will tell.

So I decided Harkers squad and the grenade launchers just didnt do it for me so I rearmed the special weapon vets with plasma guns. Much better. Also, finally, finished the last Lascannon. I am pretty happy with this conversion, may use it for the rest of the teams. Also working on another vet squad, this time meltas.

Love the plasma, and the guard keep looking better and better.

Very original work! Everything looks stunning so far, keep it up!

Cain

@Panda- Thanks, man. By the way, I'm taking your advice and am going to put some mud on those lascannon tires.

@Cain- Thanks for the compliment sir, but original, I am afraid not. These are a blatant rip off of Dave Taylor's Genswick Rifles. I worked the arms differently, but the idea is still his.

So I have some progress, half of the next melta vet squad is finished. As are 3 stormtroopers. Those guys turned out pretty well, but my phone wont let me get closer pics. Really need to figure that out.

Ah yes, a classic conversion scheme. Always been my favourite one.

I like the work done here, I declare it good.

those stormies are epic!

@Da Kommizzar- well thanks for stopping by and I am glad you like them. IG in trenchcoats. What's not to love?

@panda- thanks man. I am getting them a Valkyrie an painting it in the green/black. Fluff wise they are supposed to be their own regiment so I guess it makes sense. I plan on a blue/Miordian baneblade.
