Garden Ninja Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've recently started some classic Preatorian guardsmen (for commission). So far, I've painted up a lieutenant and one Leman Russ: http://mediawonder.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Classic_Preatorian.jpg http://mediawonder.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Preatorian_Leman_Russ.jpg The idea for the tank color scheme is that it is in dress colors (like the guardsmen themselves) and then left in the field for a while (justifying the battle damage). I'm really thinking about how well these guys might go with either a Demon Hunter or Witch Hunter force. The bright color scheme that goes with Preatorians wouldn't be lost next to the strong colors of the inquisitorial forces. Anyway, I have some grey knights that I plan to start up soon. Commentary of all kinds is welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176312-leman-russ-and-preatorian-lieutenant/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If I'm correct this stuff doesn't belong here as it's not power armoured so expect a mod to lock this thread, however I like it, especially the Lieutenant. I just love the look of them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176312-leman-russ-and-preatorian-lieutenant/#findComment-2084044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramell Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 They look really good, but the Bolter and Chainsword is Power Armour only, no Imperial Guard allowed. Boot Camp is a great Imperial Guard forum.

Typical Cricket Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sad but true. Awesome models though! :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176312-leman-russ-and-preatorian-lieutenant/#findComment-2084055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden Ninja Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Drat, I thought that all models that I would put into an Inquisitorial force would be allowed. But you guys are saying it isn't the force, it is the minis themselves (ie. no inquisitorial troopers without power armor)?

Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 We do make some exceptions GN. We realize folks want to post their full =][= Armies but we do have some restrictions as posted in the Inquisition forum: What can I discuss?Discussion of any units in the Codex: Daemonhunters, Codex: Witchhunters and Codex: Xenoshunters (when released) are acceptable. Also allowed are discussions about allied Space Marines or inducted Imperial Guard. Note: if you can't take it in a valid Inquisitorial armylist, you can't discuss it here (so discussing a Basilisk for example, isn't allowed). Painting, converting and artwork: everything painting, converting or artwork-related about inducted Imperial Guard units is to be posted in the *Ordos Inquisition* section of the board, not in the PC&A. Otherwise we wind up with folks just posting massive IG armies and claiming "it's for my Inquisition army". It is something that doesn't really have a "happy medium" to it and we have to take it on a case by case basis. So for now this can stay (in the proper forum), however if it turns out that we don't see some SoB or GKs after a time you can expect the thread to be closed if it indeed turns out to be just IG.

Eddie Orlock Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The storm bolter on the 'Russ bothers me. Being centred on the hatch, when the hatch is opened, the crew can't operate it, when it's closed, the crew should be inside the tank. As it's modelled now, the only way to use it is to get out, close the hatch, and then pray nothing hits the daring crew man. In my opinion, either it should be moved in front of the hatch ring for pop-hatch operation, or, fitted with some kind of targeter and have the handles replaced with a servo unit for remote operation. I'm vexed when nice paint work gets squandered on sloppy modelling.

Actually it seems that the pintle mount is on the opposite side of the hatch from the camera, so from the given angle it looks like it is sitting right on top of the hatch.

Garden Ninja Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Actually, yes, the gun is mounted on the side of the hatch rather than the front.

Captain Mike Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well I'm glad B&C is making an exception, these models are too good to be hidden. Excellent work, very smooth. I usually don't like praetorian coloured tanks, but this one is nice. Quick, stick a GK next to it before Kurgan changes his mind :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176312-leman-russ-and-preatorian-lieutenant/#findComment-2085458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN: How sincere are you about putting these models inside an Inquisition army? Do you have any such army in the works? They're very nice, but if all you want to do is show off your IG models, the B&C is not the place for it. Time is running out for you to prove the suitability of this topic.
