I'm new IG player and currently I'm working on my main project, 4th Equilibrian Panzer Division.
They specialise in armored warfare and utilise lot of tanks and mechanised grenadiers with decent air support.
Regiment is based on planet Equilibrium, in Europa system.
Their main sign of recognition is their sign, a ghost in black/crimson field, unique helmet design and unique vehicle, a Panther tank, which completely replaced standart Leman Russ.
Panthers are made on Arc forge world, which is part of Europa system.
I normally work on my 4th Equilibrian, but i have an auxillary project for Killteam army, the Vakarian Rifles.
Sorry about photo quality. I did my best, but it's still a cell phone.
They are quite tattered and battered, because they are sole survivors of an xeno invasion to their holeworld, Vakaria.
I give each miniature special care, making them feel unique and converting them.
One mini takes about an hour of painting.
Meet them all!
Gath, the badass sergeant. Likes to smoke expensive cigars and chew thorough enemies with his chainsword.
Hates whining of other soldiers and laziness.
He never got a medal, so he made one for himself.
Stael, the patient hunter. Likes reading books and silence.
Hates pointless talking and disorder.
Lying in one position for a week, waiting for a good shot is not a problem for him.
Adrien, the ugly Vox operator. (Need to rework his eyes, at least)
Likes tinkering machines and drinking beer.
Hates reading operation manuals. He calls it "Manufacturer's opinion"
His drunk science is known even in other regiments. Once he tinkered his Vox to play some stupid melodies on all avalible Vox channels, completely jamming any communications. Luckily batteries ran out before any disaster happend.
More pictures soon!
I hope you don't regret clicking on this link.

Lathal, the undaunted. - Plasma guy
Webb, the mad pyromaniac. - Flamer guy DONE

Automatically Appended Next Post: "Not again" Blake with his Autocannon.
I'll make him an exoskeleton, similiar to those who engineers had in Borderlands 2.
This one.

Reworked: Gath - repainted his uniform, now better pattern.
Adrien - better eyes (Hardest part ever)
Stael - Kneeing insted of standing
New ones: Ira Graves, the silent death. Former spec-ops operative. Nobody can see him, or hear him, until he strikes. Then, he disappearrs again, like a ghost.
Webb, the mad pyromaniac. Obssesed with flames, heated for revenge, fiercely setting ablaze everything and everyone who stands in his way.
Hagen, the peaceful warrior. He's a favourite guy among others. He is a great storyteller, always calm, in a good mood and positive. His greatest ability is to motivate others and get them rid of fear and worries.
„Not again“ Blake, the heavy weapons guy. Blake volunteered to operate an Autocannon. He is also quite triggerhappy,, and sometimes burned through entire magazine in one, long burst. Others didn't like it, and called „Not again, Blake!“ everytime he started. He also laugh maniacaly when firing. His exoskeleton is Hayne's creation. It grant's him greater mobility and abillity to fire from the hip.

I give you, Lady Moon! Salvaged Chimera APC, battle taxi of out heroes.
Currently WIP. It might be complete next week.
Hello! I'm Skara, the rallye racer.
Sorry about photo quality, it's a stupid cell phone.
When I'll complete all tme models, I'll borrow my friend's camera and make all photos again, in 156464497x better quality.

Today's progress. The weathering. Tommorow, I'll finish it and visit my FLF (Friendly local forest) to grab some mud and make an imitation of dirty tracks and hull.
Dozer Blade
Front Armor
Silver Metallic paint to present a scratched camo. (Maybe I made it too much )
No, it actually looks pretty damn cool great job with the blade, looks like it survived a trip to hell and back!
Fantastic job making each guardsmen unique, I like Stael a lot!
"Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth! These are the truths of this world! Surrender to these truths, you pigs in human clothing!" - Satsuki Kiryuin, Kill la Kill
Thank you Lord, still, when i come back from school, I'll reduce the amount of silver, specially on flat surfaces.
Wait for the background I'll write soon. There will be explained why it looks like that.
Stael is the guy most customised. His long-las is made from standart lasgun, scope is made from sprue frame and his Shemag (which has been hell of a job) is an old bedsheet painted with watercolors and black ballpen. Rocks, plant and dirt are real, right from my FLF.

Cheap water-based paper glue + Agrax Earthshade + Flat Earth (Tamyia) + fine soil. (Avalible even in your FLF!)
If you gonna try it, use some cheap brush (Your lil' brother's is ideal ) because the brush isn't gonna survive it.

Lady Moon. The mighty Chimera APC!
Turret will be done tomorrow. Same as mud and colorless varnish. Then done, completely.

Hey!
After quite long time, I made some more stuff.
Take a look:
This would be Stormtrooper/Grenadier veteran.
I made Carapace armor from GS and so-called Heavy Lasgun (Lasgun+Flamer bit - I tried to make something like Hellgun)
Only thing missing is power-cable leading from Vox-box to lasgun. Soon, I'l buy some ACOGs and Red Dots from Anvil ind.
The head is Wehrmacht one, from Warmachine.
Grenadier from behind
This would be female guardsmen. Also grenadier veteran.
All I need is to find some useful female heads.
Best adepts so far are ones from WHFB Glade Guard, without helmet.
Reworked:
Gath - repainted his uniform, now better pattern.
Adrien - better eyes (Hardest part ever)
Stael - Kneeing insted of standing
New ones:
Ira Graves, the silent death.
Former spec-ops operative. Nobody can see him, or hear him, until he strikes. Then, he disappearrs again, like a ghost.
Webb, the mad pyromaniac.
Obssesed with flames, heated for revenge, fiercely setting ablaze everything and everyone who stands in his way.
Hagen, the peaceful warrior.

Just figured I'd chime in. Love the idea and the execution of said idea on the models. That said, I do have a few areas I'd offer some advice on. The panther counts as leman Russ would be the first one. I would say that it might be worthwhile to reduce the size of the main gun so it doesn't look so out of proportion with the turret. I'd also say increase the size of the turret with either stowage bins, schurzen, or additional size using plasticard. You could also lift the turret off the hull by building a few layers of card up around the turret area. Lastly, I'm assuming that the first banner is referencing the Sabaton song 'ghost division' if this is the case, I'd point out the lyric is compete rather than complete.
I'll be following this one!
Just my 2 cents

Yes, it is count-as. Dimensions are very simmiliar.
Model shown represents a Vanquisher variant, thats why it is so long. Battle cannon would be much shorter. (Look at FW's Vanquisher, it also have very long barrel.)
It is still WIP, and stowage, camo nets etc... are planned.
Turret is lifted 2-3mms over the hull. More is not possible due to bits which hold it in place.
And yes, you are right. I take some of inspiration from music. I liked it both as a army name and slogan. If I got an idea for something else, I would consider reworking.
The logo is a insignia of so callled "Ghost Army"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Army
Ah, many say it. For reworking Vanquisher's gun is too late. But for Heavy lasgun... I'll shorten it few mms, making it no longer than 30mm. (original lasgun is 25mm long)
I finally get a better camera (See the difference!) and made some pics of latest progress.
Here are my Veterans:
Yes, it's a female... Trooper Elowen. My first GS face sculpt ever. (Not bad, but not good either)
I made an order from Anvil, yesterday it arrived.
Here is Irven Wingthor, in his Panther Vanquisher!
And his tank, the "Wingthor's Hammer" has movable front lascannon! Arc is very simmiliar as in standart Russ
Decals are missing. I'm waiting until full sheet. Then I'll print it and use them. One empty decal sheet costs about 60CZK (approx 2 £)
Enjoy and stay tuned for more! Soon.

I've got an idea. I'll be building an Exterminator LR, and as you know, I use models of Panther tanks from Tamyia. To save money, I've got this idea. Making remote turret instead of classic turret. It's cheaper (600CZK for Panther, 1000CZK for Leman Russ kit. Also get a separate turret from bitz sites is quite hard...) and it will look cool and unique.
Planned but not shown:
Some kind of optics, ammo feed, antennas, wires, various bits like searchlight, handlers, hatches etc...
Here is a picture of planned apperance. It can be complete until next week. Depends on free time and my part-time job.
Neutran Panzergrenadiers, 
Ostrakan Skitarii Legions, 
Order of the Silver Hand

great job with the blade, looks like it survived a trip to hell and back!
