captain sox Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hello brothers and sisters! Here is my official ETL III WIP thread. I'll update my progress here. I'm brand new to the Imperial Guard, so the timing of this event was perfect. I started with a small first vow, A 10 man infantry unit with Vox Caster, Power Weapon and Flamer for 75 Points. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo2_zps3874fdc3.jpg Primed: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo_zpsa54dad11.jpg I decided to go traditional with this squad and to the classic Tan/Green Scheme: This was a test model, which turned out OK. 9 to go! http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo3_zpsa43406dc.jpg My next vow may be a bit bigger: http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo22_zps119bbddc.jpg Stay tuned! Exciting times await! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Great start - test mini looks good. Come pay day I'm getting myself a Cadian defence force box; its an instant platoon! Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Agreed that's a very good start! I am eager to see more the finished squad will look great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 That cadian looks great especially the finish you got on the tan areas. I think ill have to start a cadian force after im done with my DKoK....the big boxed sets that GW have released are so tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thats a good looking mini,can't wait to see rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I did a second test model in a grey/green scheme and I really like it. I've decided to go with it instead of the traditional scheme. http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo1_zpsf7bd8263.jpg http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a496/Odogg242/photo23_zps05ed1dfc.jpg I heavily drybrush my models to give a weathered look. What do you all think? C+C welcome! Also most likely not going to do the eyes... they are pain and I just cant figure out how to do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Looks great, quite a unique scheme and it'll look grand with rank upon rank of Guardsmen painted in it :) The dry brushing looks good, what colours did you use? As for eyes you'd have to be pretty mad to paint them on Guardsmen. I paint the underside of tanks and that's my limit for "unnecessary work" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Colours: Dawnstone for the grey, Castellan Green for the green, Mourngfang brown. Washed all with Nulin, highlighted with Ulthuan Grey (cloth) and Straken Green (armour). Terminatus Stone on the brown parts and then Dawnstone on the black. Skin is Cadian flesh washed in Seraphim. Doing HQ models in a darker grey then a Grey/Grey/Green on the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Seems like a well thought out scheme. Washing and dry brushing is good for Guard armies (and your sanity) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 it looks good! familiar, yet original! absolutly love it! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Very good stuff. I really like the new scheme. His belt kit stands out to me too, that you've paid attention and done the 'soft' stuff brown but his canteen green. Good attention to detail. And the dry brushing looks great too!

march10k Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 As for eyes you'd have to be pretty mad to paint them on Guardsmen. I paint the underside of tanks and that's my limit for "unnecessary work" Who you calling crazy??? Sox, I love the color scheme! If I didn't already have nearly 250 metal cadians, I really do like the plastic ones better, I'm just too deep into the ones I already have!
