WarriorFish Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Looks great! The detail is very well done, gives him plenty of character :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4106444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Cheers :) This was my first Beastman sculpt and I got quite a bit of feedback which ended up altering things for the better :) I reckon I'll need to convert a little squad of Squats before I move on to the second Beastman. I am hoping that I still remember how to convert Squats ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4106989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysW Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I love those Servitors, they're so much cooler than the GW ones! That's actually inspired me to start taking some myself, nice work, looking forward to seeing them in action sometime!

Inso Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm sorry but I am a hobbyist rather than a gamer so you won't see these in action... I just go through the motions of army collecting :) If you wish to make the walking servitors, the guide for 'Beetlebots' is here: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/Beetlebots/BotHowTo1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/Beetlebots/BotHowTo2.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/Beetlebots/BotHowTo3.jpg For the tracked ones... just build the torso and attach it to one of these: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/AFTERLIFE/Republic-Taurus-Gun-Tractors captain sox 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4110207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 You sculpt a mean beard, Inso.

Vel'Cona Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Have to agree, those beards are top notch. Though your sculpting work in general is excellent! I love the self-propelled heavy weapons.

Inso Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cheers :) The guns are from here: http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/AFTERLIFE/Republic But at the moment, they seem to be absent (possibly a re-stock?)

Inso Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 The guns are back in stock but with a slight adjustment to the rear (for better casting). And in other news... I've only gone and got myself a case of the badgers! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4127718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) In a further, some might say heretical move, I have decided to add a unit of wyrdvane psykers to my Squat army so what better way to do it than to recycle something from yesteryear? As a result, I had a sudden burst of inspiration and decided that Hrud would be cool additions to the army and I had something in mind so I went into my cupboard and pulled these out: [XENOS PURGED BY ORDER OF THE INQUISITION] My frog-people! Now I know that the general thoughts on Hrud are that they were place-holders for space-rats but the picture in the Rogue Trader rule book didn't show a face, just a cloaked figure with a rat's tail... so that is what I have made . I may add some pouches to them at some point but they are finished apart from that. I hope you like them (I hope a link is OK... it seems a bit of an odd post without something to look at: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP62_zpskhrslhz6.jpg ) Edited August 7, 2015 by Inso Xenos removed our_baz and CoffeeGrunt 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4139508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Man these are excellent, I'd love to see a group shot of your army so far, it's pretty massive by now I imagine! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/3/#findComment-4139571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Apart from a couple more beastmen Primaris Psykers, these are as alien as it gets (they are counts-as wyrdvanes though :) ) so hopefully, I can escape the wrath of the Inquisitors :o . I'll have Squats riding the badgers and the rest of the army will be Squats as well.
