Rise of the Imperial Guard!

[TheGreatFireDrake]

Or should that be Astro Militarum?

Right let’s start with the newest editions to my force.

Scions

8419
8420
8421
8422
8423
8424
8418

There are another 5 on my desk ready to be finished, looking forward to seeing them done and next to their taurox .

[lobster-overlord]

As much as I've disliked these minis from the get-go, I really like what you did with them. The colors aren't garish, nor do they cause the figures to standout oddly. They look very militant without being over the top like some GW color schemes.

[Darren Richardson]

I like the muted colour scheme, they kinda remind me of one of the Royal Horse Regiments that troop around in london, regal yet in this case alos practicial....

I also look forward to the Taurox....

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

that paint scheme is much much better than the "official" one I think...

[TheGreatFireDrake]

Wow didn’t except the positive response, thanks guys. Im looking forward to the taurox too. its eyeing my up on my desk begging to be painted. Its a shame it will probably never see a battle field

[Blackcloud6]

Nice job!

[TheGreatFireDrake]

Heys chaps, second wave.
Next five scions,

8503
8504
8505

The finished squad, with some lovely plasma goodness. looking forward to using the order ‘directed firestorm sanctioned’, twin linked and a 4+ save should make them relatively suicide proof. Fingers crossed.

8507

Quick wip of the taurox, bit of an experiment if anything. I don’t know if i like it or not, i may continue doing stuff to it, but I’m fairly sure this will be a re-paint.

8508

Finally, a lovely wip of my commissar, who I’m talking my sweat time on.

8506

[TheGreatFireDrake]

At a pace that would make even the lowliest Adminastatum clark wince, i present more progress. In the name of the Imperium!
You may have seen a few partial pics, now it is time to unleash my platoon command chimera! Which kinda looks like a salamander. Don’t be fooled, its not... it kinda is.
8933
8934
8935
8936
8937
8938

One on the left is just basecoat shade, this will allow me to have a painted army reasonable fast. One on the right is a test for what they will eventually get fully painted (yeah that’s never happening).
8940

And finally a catachan. I would love a platoon of metal ones and here is a guy i knocked up for fun.
8939

[Darren Richardson]

great work so far, I think with weathering and battle damage that Taurox will look amazing...

The command tank looks great too....

Good work

[TheGreatFireDrake]

Thanks, Hey guys, quick tread head(ish) update. Not sure of two tanks count.
Anyway straight to the pics.

I know the gun barrels are not drilled out, i don’t have the right bit for my drill without it looking goofy.
Griffin, Wip.
