Heavies

So being a cheap bastard I decided to try and make more than the standard 3 weapon teams that came with the battleforce box. My original plan was to mount the second crew member on their own bases which can then be placed on the larger base, but in the end I didn't like the final result. 

Anyway I did the heavies in two batches and then went attached the crew member to two of the teams after the second batch was done...

Batch 1. I decided not to attach the sandbag bits in the end. I think they detracted from the final result.

Batch 2 with crew added to the lascannons from batch 1. When i applied the final wash to the missile launcher at the back it went a really weird yellow colour. Pity.

Special Guard

Whats makes these guys so special? Why the weapons with which they are kitted out with thats what!!

More Guard

Getting into the swing of things with the imperial guard. Here are another batch of blokes with lasguns...

Take a Step to the Right...

Following on some good progress with the Iron Warriors it is obviously time to change direction and work on my Imperial Guard. Now I got a battleforce TWO crimbos ago and they have been languishing on my haul of shame since them. Also there is a new codex.

They were well and truly started, but unfortunately never finished. In fact they were the last things to be painted with my airbrush, but due to (I think) a leaky nozzle I got really frustrated with getting the batch this far. So a none working airbrush means that my Iron Warriors cannot progress and so my Guard get some attention.

This is the whole lot assembled ready for priming (along with a Leman Russ)

Everyone basecoated with my airbrush before it broke

An actual test mini that i finished

So all but one of these dudes were basecoated with an urban camo style colour: White and blue splodges with a grey background. Red guns. Oh and dodgy flesh. I hate painting skin tones. 

So here are the first batches of my trusty imperial guard...

Meet the family

The completion of the Terminator Lord meant that I think that I have now built out the core of my Iron Warrior collection. Not sure how many points in total but it should be enough to allow me to field a variety of armies...

Terminator Lord

Did some work on the arms of this Chaos Terminator Lord...

Obliterators

My obliterators have been built for a while, but here are some photos anyway...
