silversurfer Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So, after my few space marines, here are some of my imperial guards minis (don't call them astra militarum, you don't really get well after some bullets in your forehead ...). It's based on a true french battle tank bataillon (501e RCC, one of the few foreign regiment which received the PUC). As you can see, they are heavily mechanised and for now are fighting in a desertic environment. I'm far from showing you everything (especially infantry) cause it's a pain to take photos of such amount of minis. I'm also under the process of repainting some Leman Russes and old cadian metal sentinels.

Thousand Eyes Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Now that is a lot of armour! I do love the weathering but I do think it needs some spot colors or something. I love the assassins though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306131-501st-cadian-battle-tank-bataillon/#findComment-4008220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Pretty stellar work, though it's all a bit monotone. Military utilitarianism or no, I think if you worked that design into more of the vehicles, it'd been a touch more eye catching. All the same, there's really no arguing with the quality of the painting here. Bravo.

Isiah Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wow amazing. And so much to like: tanks, grunts and the Inquisition. Lovely bashed about vehicles you have there. They look as though they've had a rough campaign. All great stuff.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Errmaahgerd! That's a great collection of IG mate, your painting is top notch, I can't say a bad word about them :tu: But :) if you back your camera away from the individual minis it will be able to focus better (the minis deserve it. ) BS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306131-501st-cadian-battle-tank-bataillon/#findComment-4012226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

silversurfer Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thank you all for the enthousiastic replies. You are right Brother Stobz, I need to improve my photo skills.

Firepower Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) So many meltas and plasma...you'r a bad person. A bad person whom is painting his army to a great standard, mind you. By the way, how are you painting the cloth? It's especially good.

Black_out Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Man, your weathering is outstanding, I adore the vehicles you've done. Especially the Valkyrie in your first post, it beautiful. I may be a bit biased as desert camo is some of my favorite.

Firepower Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The shiny emblem is oddly pristine, as is the right heavy bolter, but aside from that, solid as ever. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306131-501st-cadian-battle-tank-bataillon/#findComment-4211706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
