Yes, just like it says. In this case, my client did all of the converting involved here, I just did the painting. These are for the Blackwatch regiment in the forty-first milenium:

Full of win! I love it. What did that cost you?

As the owner of the models I can tell you that the unit was pricey to assemble. The models are a combination of Victoria Lamb's Highland Guard conversion kits, Secret Weapon pith helmet heads, and Cadian Shock Trooper/Cadian Command Squad torsos/weapons.

A rough estimate would put the unit in the $100 range but I also have enough bits left to make 5 additional troopers.

And I have to say Garden Ninja knocked another one out of the park. The models look phenomenal in person and his attention to detail along with his turn around time just cannot be beat.

Good stuff! love 'em!

These look amazing, great job, as always.

Excellent work. Now all you need is Sid James taking a walk on the verandah

love them. Awesomeness incarnate

I'd say kudos to the both of you!
Nice work, all around.

Those are absolutely great and I must admit to being just a tad jealous...just a tad.
Fantastic job man.

Excellent. Now you just need to paint blue stripes on their faces.

They look ready to defend Rorke's Drift! (Not the Black Watch I know but...)

"Don't shoot til you see the whites of their eyes!"

Excellent paint job - a full army will look immense!

I really hope that this means you are going to be painting some Tartan Vehicles!

Excellent Models, painted brilliantly.

Well, they go with a Praetorian force. Obviously, the Scotsmen here are veterans. I'm sure the rest of the regiment is Welsh.

Very nice.

I keep being tempted by the highland guard kits myself...

Go for it. They're great.

Someone out there wants me to make a 4th Guard army, I just know it.

That's the only explanation for models this awesome.

Lookin great!

Please please please ask for the person who commissioned this army to send a pic of the whole force together!

Can do! I'll get something up in the next day or so.

Of the units @ Rorke's Drift the largest contingent was indeed Welsh, B company, 2nd Battalion, 24th Foot: later the South Wales Borderers and now the Royal Regiment of Wales.
There were also blokes from the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Army Service Corps, Commissariat and Medical Corps.

The Black Watch is sadly no longer a regiment due to the last Gov's cost cutting, they now exist as 3rd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Minis look excellent. I've seen these 'legs' used in a couple of armies now and they always look very cool.

Always fun quoting yourself...

Anyway, here is a link to a picture of the fully painted 10 man squad (scroll all the way down).

Nice, good to see the heads put to good use, and love the models, I've always wanted to do some highlanders, was put off by having to do the Kilts but those Victoria Lamb ones you've got are spot on, consider the idea 'borrowed'

Hah! Absolutely brilliant! Never seen anything like that. Painjob is also good.

Love the figures and the paint job. Great job.

I this was heresy I would say +rep to both of you. But i cant.
I love dakka >

Likeing the guns

Yeah, nice work on those heads, by the way.
