Another ebay distraction turned up last weekend so Ive made a start on it. 

These are a dream to paint. Large areas which make it so quick to paint

Thanks guys

I hope to have it finished this weekend. I could easily see me getting an army of these. I think I'll order a box once Ive finished

 

my 10 Scions, 2 Leman Russ, 40 troops, command squad, 3 heavy weapons...... and thats what I can remember!!

Heres this weeks update

The bulgryn is about done.

I want to get more as Ive a great idea for one with a Nid shoulder pad on one arm and I have the perfect nid bit to use,

Heres a couple of others about finished. Scion number two and Sarge. Both need final highlights now..

Finally Im trying to mix up the squads so Im looking at experimenting with legs. This still needs smoothing but I think Ive got the proportions right.

I also won 30 guard on ebay this week so Ive been stripping them and fixing them (taking them apart!) 

One had lost the end of the las and it gave me an idea for a hard shell snub gun. What do you think?

  • 2 months later...

Found some time to paint over the christmas break. 

Im going to build a command squad made up of custom characters. Each one will have some mod or other

 

Heres where Ive got to

 

A couple of them have converted rifles that are switched to hard shells.

Mr Bolt Pistol with GS pouches

The commander has a modified powerfist and new head

Las sniper with modified legs

Flamer with flame mask (trying to use those sergeant heads) and modified flamer with its own fuel

Probably the least converted is the guy about to attach his bayonet.

Ive finished Bulgryn 1 and got another. 

I got this one from a bitz site and didnt buy the body so hes made up of sprue and putty under the armour! 

 

I love these so bought another box with my christmas money

Thanks Guys

I tend to do this where I dont get near them for a few weeks then it becomes all consuming and I paint at every opportunity.

Had a bit of a sort out of my home office as my guard needed a new place to live as they are growing so they now have a shelf above my UMs

Once the two sentinals, heavy weapons teams, two russ's get done I think they will need their own shelf!

 

Question is do I convert that bane blade back to green ;)

:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot:  [spam turned off]

 

All together, your guardsmen look totally badass. Even along with those under-steroids-and-canned-and-acid-spitting Marines !

 

The Baneblade is nice in blue, but I believe it deserves to be more connected with your Guard :yes:

Ive got some paint on the command squad this week.

Theres still a load of small highlights to do but Ive got the bulk done.

The bases and mr bayonets gun will be done shortly

While I was waiting for a wash to dry I thought Id add some diversity to the squad

Heres the new member of the team

 

Same height, wider armour

Apparently its all about the base so I got to work on this one tonight.

Just need to highlight and weather the boots into the base now

 

Ive also just won a load of unpainted Catachans on Ebay so expect more conversions, arm and head swaps

I always remember the old 'eavy Metal saying of "bases and faces". I know it's true because I have no talent with either two :laugh.: Base looks great on him, another excellent example of how less is more :smile.: Makes me want to finish my Bullgryn Squad, if only I had another so I could make them a squad for Assault on Lutum...

Thanks

Ive got a set of Bulgryn sprues on the way so Im going to make at least three more and might even try and sculpt some legs as I think there are enough bits to make more

They're great models, nice and different and surprisingly large. I'll definitely get some more when I've finished this box, just wish their rules were a bit better (or rather cheaper) but maybe next codex... Any other different units that might hit your painting table? Ratlings perhaps? They've a very different change, but small so quick to paint :P

He has an arm!

Ive tried a slightly different blending and shading technique on the arm so its slightly pinker than the face but its ok

He has a punisher tat to match the one on my Valkyrie but its hard to see on the photo.

Slab shield is under way so hopefully this will be done this week
