Speaking of Imperial Guard, I did a command squad late last year with a batch of converted miniatures.

It was not an easy task, as I was working with solid hunks of metal

Here is the first:

I always like my bases to tell a story!

Nice conversion and glorious painting, what more could one ask for?

More awesome minis. The thread says "Vostroyans" I want more!!!

**Overlord Thraka**

Magnificent!

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Glad you liked this first guy! Four more coming

**Valhallan42nd**

I love the illusion of the torso armor as lamellar.

**Demigod**

Dig those bases....very nice work.

If you make it to Adepticon, the Wappels have a very popular seminar in custom base making.

I'd highly recommend it.

Again, not that my base in any way compares to his skill, but it's something I made in that class after one session.

Topic name: Some fun converted Vostroyans xDD A bit of irony there, but yeah, why are your Firstborn yellow? xS Seems a bit strange, considering they're usually red and a black/brown, but still looking *amazing*, very well done! ;D

**Knightley**

Wow, very impressive conversion and painting, top notch!

**DarkTraveler777**

That base is absolutely stunning, which is not to say that the miniature isn't impressive, but the base itself really wowed me.

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Many thanks! Great job on that Warmachine base!!!!

I will post the next guy later tonight!

And he still has trouble receiving a signal when we're trying to watch the game. Maybe he should stand on the roof and strike a pose.

**Razak**

I love the conversions on the bases and on the radio packs. Maybe you should try converting a Ballisk into some type of command platform?
Awesome work!

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Here's another one!!

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

This guy was very fun to convert and paint!

Here is the mini before painting...

**odinsgrandson**

Oh, I love what you've done with these guys.

**Depraved**

Your painting style shows amazing style and grace. These are the most artistic Vostroyans I have ever seen.

**Hoyt**

Interesting paint scheme. Never thought Vostoyans could look so good in yellow.

**Darth Bob**

Those are some incredible paint jobs dude!

**suspiratus**

Love the base, excellent paint job mate.

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Many thanks for the kind words! These guys were definitely a challenge

The neat thing about the IG is that they are, for the most part, local militias. That provides the widest possible variety of design possibilities by far. At a certaon point, SM chapters can start to become confusing when you try to get inventive!

**killykavekommando**

Oh my god, yes! This is brilliantly painted.

**Dannyevilguy**

Amazing stuff. Makes me wish I had gotted into this hobby back when the guard had more variety.

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

It looks like more and more mini companies are taking up the slack.

Not only do you have Victoria doing various IG stuff, but Lead Adventure also has some very unique factions!

I am painting up a few of those right now...

Plus, Raging Heroes is starting their KS on June 4th! That will be amazing, and it's what I will be using for Adepticon next year.

Here is a very 'standard' standard bearer

I made the sculpey base as heavy as possible to make him less top heavy!

**radioaktivemann**

Awesome work!

**Inquisitor Wappellious**

Follow the leader

I still have some of the WIP shots on this guy... I will post those tomorrow
