CoffeeGrunt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Really like the missile packs on the loaders, would love to play against this army some day. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4171091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Cheers :) The only way you'd play against them is if I sold them on though... I am not a gamer, just a hobbyist :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4171181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 One of the missile teams now has a full infantry squad to join... this being the first infantry squad of the second platoon: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP70_zpsuqkew7pj.jpg There is more information on my blog too: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/more-progress-and-machine-has-started.html WarriorFish, CoffeeGrunt, morroccomole and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4176704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Excellent GS work on these guys!

WarriorFish Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 With all that detail on the GS you can throw a few washes on and they'll look good ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4177264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've had a quantum shift in mindset where the choice of vehicle is concerned. My original plan was to have hover vehicles... but I have since had my head turned by some conversions of Rhinos that I have seen and the real-world AAV-7 (US Marine amphibious vehicle)... so I may end up following the amphibious vehicle route rather than the hovercraft route... Hmmmmm....

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Somehow I was completely unsurprised you'd be scratch-building the APC, too. Looking forward to seeing what wizardry you cojure with this one. Will it also feature a magnificent beard? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4189459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Maybe some beefy bull bars on the front can represent a beard? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4189856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just had a great time reading through this, those squats are awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the APC, does look a little like a speedboat at the moment though!

Inso Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 The APC won't need a beard... it will be full of them :D Looking like a speedboat is a good thing because this APC is fully amphibious (like the AAV-7). I wanted it to look like a boat because it operates on a swampy planet and needs to be able to swim, rather than just look like an APC. I think that I will put the APC on hold for a little while so that I can work on the command squad. When that is finished, I can start painting :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4190355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Another random change of direction... I went and bought a box of Skitarii and have been thinking about how I can turn them into veteran Tyranid hunters. I have got this far at present but I have a very long way to go :) : http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP82_zpsjjgryenw.jpg I have put a big lump of text on my blog to go with this so if you want to get a bit of background on this rather impromptu diversion, follow the link: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/a-momentous-week.html WarriorFish and Mithrilforge 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4200262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Perhaps use the dataslate and make a Gyrocopter/Stormtalon kitbash?

Inso Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 At the moment, I have no plans for fliers (even gyrocopters) but I will think about it once I have completed the core infantry :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/5/#findComment-4200906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
