WarriorFish Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Nooo! More Lego heresy! Are you going to lock the wheels so they don't accidentally move extra inches on the table top? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4319794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Actually... the little bricks are 'pretend Lego' Best Lock or something like that... so I am safe from further heresy :) I want to keep the wheels rotatable at the moment so they can be removed but I haven't thought about later... who knows? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4319923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Commander Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 These look excellent! You could model little chock blocks (perhaps store them in little in panniers on the side) to put behind the lego wheels to keep them from rolling.

Inso Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I'm unable to carry on with these transports until some parts arrive... so I've put some more information (as well as a scale pic) on my Blog: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/another-change-of-direction.html @Tallarn Commander - I like the idea with the chocks but in order to put them in the panier, I would need to cut a hole in the side, remove all of the interior bracing, build a stowage and then have a door that I could open and close. To do that on one vehicle would be a massive chore but to do it on all five would rip my hobby heart out so if I do put some chocks on it, they will be stowed externally .

Tallarn Commander Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah that would be too much work. Plus I think most opponents will be impressed by your rolling wheels.

Inso Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks to Ainsty Castings, I now have five shiny new turrets for the vehicles and have started to integrate them into the vehicles: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Vehicles/SquatWIP96_zpseiuei3rl.jpg There is more info on my blog: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/a-post-at-easter.html elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4347480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Part of this army is based on the Space Marine Codex (Exo Armour and Scouts)... so that will explain this odd turn of events...

Inso Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Next up is a standard bearer for the army command squad. He still needs a flag (and I may go back and add a bit of extra detail later) but he is basically finished: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP97_zpsu3ggfbug.jpg And I have been working on something else for a friend's project: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Commission%202/Com2SquatWIP2_zps6ao0ldhu.jpg I am working on a sniper for my army at the moment and a running body for my friend so hopefully, there should be more pix this weekend (the sniper at least) :) our_baz, Mithrilforge, WarriorFish and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4378166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 How do you get your green stuck so smooth and sculpted?? I'm lucky if mines not just a complete mess!

Icepick Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Your green stuff work is amazing. Although your models themselves don't appeal that much to me (i'm just not a squat fan) i do admire your skill in modelling! I'm looking forward to seeing those transports finished. Very curious about how they will turn out. Keep up your good work walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4380326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 The transports have slowed down for now... I seem to be in a sculpting frame of mind. I do have a very set idea or what they wll look like and now have all of the separate components that I need to finish them so they WILL be finished (it's just that I don't know when). In the meantime... here's the third finished member of the army command squad; a sniper: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP98_zps5gry4x1l.jpg Guilloom, walter h, NightHunters and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4381019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 And FINALLY (WHEW!) the army command squad is finished... first the Medic and Comms: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP99_zpsvnrwl4xf.jpg Followed by the full squad: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/SquatWIP100_zpsyagauynx.jpg I guess I should really start painting some now... but my sculpting mojo has kicked in again and I quite fancy finishing off my second Beastman Psyker now... our_baz, Kierdale, elmo and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/7/#findComment-4381894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I thought I'd write a tiny bit of fiction to go with my army. It just explains why certain aspects of the army are like they are... anyway... here it is: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/the-invasion-some-background-to-my.html It also gives a little bit of a precursor to what my veteran Tyranid hunters will look like :) .
