Hey guys,
So I got inspired to finally get good shots of all of my Imperial Guard Infantry Squad, my Vets, and my Company Command Squad. It drives me crazy because I can still make out the original painted squads and the more recent ones I've done; though it is cool to see how I've progressed in my painting. Anyways, enjoy!

Company Command:


Vet Squad Green






Red Vet Squad






Infantry Squads (Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, White, and Purple)












And finally, their Commissars:


Enjoy guys, C&C is always appreciated!

great work the mini's have plenty of character,also the commisars rock.

How big is the rest of your army?

@Shingouki: Thanks man! I figure I've got a ton of dudes, they should have at least a little character.
@Ailaros: I'm sitting on over 4,000 points of Guard. I'd love to go back and redo a bunch of it, especially the tanks, as they're from my main learning period. That's not all my infantry, and I have a bunch of Vehicles and things that I can't get pictures of because they're sitting at my parent's place. I'll get some more pictures of the Platoon Commands and some miscellaneous firgures up here in a bit though!

Granesh

Very nice! love CCS alot too!

@Bigmek35: Thanks man! I'm really happy with the Company Command Squad, though I want to expand it all the way with an Astropath, Master of Ordnance, and some Bodyguards!

Some additional pictures!

Platoon Commands





My old Techpriest and Servitors...I really need to repaint the Techpriest....



And My Lord Commissar, probably one of my first attempts at NMM



Ah! Almost forgot! My Primaris Psyker



and my Psyker Battle Squad!



Alrighty, I think that's most of my Infantry! I'll do a tank picture series too at the end of April when the semester is over!
Enjoy guys!
Granesh

Loving the Commisars!

Superb painting!

@Jordankeeps: Thanks! I'm still really happy with the vibrant red on got on their coatlinings!
@Susiejo239: Thanks! I'm working on a 7th Infantry Squad right now, between SLW marines and other random projects, so I'll have pictures of them up in the next day or so!

Granesh

Excellently done! I love armies that while very recognizable, are super characterful

Kenshin620: Thanks! IG armies should have some character, even if most of the Guardsmen look exactly the same!

Final picture, I finished Red Squad yesterday!



And that's my infantry....phew. My army case has 3 Battlefoam trays and holds 150 models...almost all those slots are filled now...and I still have guys I want to do!
Enjoy guys!

I think the Vet squads are outstanding - each figure's face is quite a bit different from the others - seems to be done mostly with painting. Did you greenstuff the goggles?

@Kestral: I'm glad you like the vets, I wanted them to truly look different from the rest of the army and look like they'd been on the field for a long time! As for the Goggles, no, I didn't sculpt them. They're either off of the OOP metal Cadian Sentinel Pilot, the FW Hardened Veteran upgrades, or the metal Imperial Guard Heads bitz pack GW did a little bit ago.

I'm reworking my Ogryn right now, I should have a finished picture of one up later today!
Granesh

That is superb work. The weathering is spot on! Looking forward to the Ogryns!

Love the weathered look of the armour!

AWESOME they have ALOT of character. it seems like each one should have a name and a story lol. i really like the commissars excellent job!

I love the commissar with his powersword resting on his shoulder it's fantastic!

Very nice work indeed!

I like the colour scheme a lot, it is a very good contrast. I think the commissars look especially cool.

All of them are really cool, but the Commissars are just AWESOME! I love the one on the left, that pose is sweet.

Agreed, the Commissars are the best part. Say, have you considered using the Krieg list as an alternate for a game or two? Commissars wielding invisible powerfists in huge infantry blobs is pretty terrifying, especially with WS4.

@Flinty and 2PaintPots: Thanks! I've gotten a lot of compliments on the armour weathering!
@killrbkilled109, Neroku, wildboar, and Eternal Loser: Thanks! I added my first commissars about a year ago, and they do great in my games, though a fist on him would be really, really nice!
@Savnock: I've thought about it. TBH, my favorite FW list to run is Servants of Slaughter (Zerkers in a Guard army is wrong ), but I may have to try it out.

I've got these pictures up on my blog at SmellsLikeWargaming.blogspot.com, but I figured they'd get more views from you guys if I just put them up here!



Now this is probably the most extensive Greenstuff use I've done on a model, minus the four Tervigons. I'm really happy with him, though there's always room for improvement. My favorite aspect on him is the height. I really hate the feet on the WHFB Ogres, so I figured some better lower legs and feet were in order. Just to get an idea on his height...



Kinda makes you feel bad for any guardsmen he comes across. Kinda. Alrighty guys! I'm sure I'll get more work done on my next Ogryn, but I've got commissions coming in next week, as well as some school work, so I don't know when next will be! Regardless, keep an eye out for some new threads pertaining to Tau and Orks!
Granesh

Some really nice work! they look like the just stepped off the battlefield to pose.
gritty and real.

I really like the work you did. Obviously a good amount of time went into these and it paid off.
