my Imperial Guard Hessian 45th

[lomaxxdurang]

So I took the orginal pictures under a light and it was just to much glare this was my first experience with daylight model pics.
My IG are loosely based around 4 themes Naval Troopers for a Battle fleet vessel, Battle Star Galactica, Monster Hunter International, and Kellys Heroes.
The uniforms are very BSG for the officer dress type uniforms the others are just urban.

Thoughts and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I like them overall, although the name 'Hessian' does rather make them sound like an army of sacks!

One thing I would say about the actual models is the bases; you need to give as much time and attention to modelling/painting those as you do any other part of the model. I'm as guilty of this as anyone at the moment, but leaving them bare, or with just a few scraps of wire or chopped up sprue as you have really detracts from an otherwise solid group of convertions (I especially like the Napolionic style guy with the Plasma gun! What model is that?) and a pretty reasonable paint job.

The bases are an issue I recently started manufacturing my own. The ones under Creed, and a few of the other pieces are what the majority of the army are going to be on a few may be separated on to bases with more rubble, or look like they are moving through sewers and things of that nature.
