Sviar Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 In early 2009 I bought 5 Snappon Cadians, at the time I was quite fond of UM so I painted them Shadowgrey(blue-ish) with yellow shoulderguards. I called them Sviars, hence my B&C name. I even wrote a background story and descriptions on their hollidays and why they cellebrate them and on the three planets(yes I know... but at the time I had just broken up with my girlfriend and had way too much spare time back then ) I was going to start an IG army, but those Astartes came in the way, and I never really got back on track untill now. I created this to motivate myself into build and finish what I started many years ago. I am going to back it up with pictures but keep in mind that I'm not a great painter nor a fast one either.

Kierdale Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Good stuff! If you want to make the snap-fits a bit more original I recommend chopping off some of their heads and putting them back on looking to the sides a bit. It's a small change but it helps so much.

elmo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 looking forward to seeing what you do to them. Kierdale has experience with the snap together ones so he is a good font of knowledge Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269903-sviars-imperial-guards/#findComment-3288382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks for the tip. As soon as I'm finished with my LPC and Boot camp vows I'll try to see how I fare with these warriors.

Sviar Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 The guardsman was tired and exhausted. The faul stench who irritated his nose came from the dead men and women, who lie in the trench beside him. So tired, he closed his eys for a moment and woke up when they started another round of shelling. He looked around to see if the Commisar was near, he wasn't, upon that realization his heart slowed down and his eyes started to colse again. Suddely he felt a hand grabbing his arm, it was Maria. Don't worry she said I'm sure the reinforcements will arrive soon. @ Elmo 9141. The progress is comming along nicely two out of three LPC vow is almost finished, they just need some turf on the bases. I have now taken a break from the LPC to finish my Path to Redemption oath. So hopefully LPC will be finished on time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269903-sviars-imperial-guards/#findComment-3325309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviar Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 So I manage to get hold on some vintige Guard heads that GW don't make anymore My local dealer had them way back in the storage. I wanted to share this with you. Unfortunately the picture could be better, and some details don't show, but it is not that bad so enjoy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269903-sviars-imperial-guards/#findComment-3567361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Now that is vintage! My local gaming shop used to be a treasure trove of awesome old stuff but they redid everything a few years back and it was never the same again :( None of your image links above work any more, so you'll have to replace them with pictures of models using these heads now :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269903-sviars-imperial-guards/#findComment-3567758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
