A Friends Guard being updated, Old Pics & New

[MithrilForge]

just hosting some pics of a friends Guard army, he's redoing them with the new GW Bases and re painting the Fatigues in a Fenris Grey...trying for an urban theme. will note that he has used all scout heads on this unit...i didn't realise till i was taking the pics... and went huh...somethings different about em ...

here are the new Wip pics of his force, i will show some pics of how they used to look beforehand after these ones...

i think these 2 count as a hvy wpn team...

a Very angry Vox operator...

Generic dude(just showing how seamless the scout head looks)

cheers, Mithril

And here are the before colours of a squad thats up next...

*note that he sculpted on goggles...this was before Forgeworld did the guard rebreather heads with goggles.

sorry about the lighting on the last few, you get an idea of the old colours from the first pic.

will post more as he completes em!! C&C welcome.

cheers, Mithril

I like the camo scheme on the second squad, any idea of the colours/pattern used?

[Lord Marshal]

In about fourteen years of playing Imperial Guard I've never realised/seen how painting on gloves could make them look so much more tactic00l. 

 

Great job all around.

Chopped off lasgun looks like good counts as shotgun if you drill a few barrels... (/steals idea)

 

Those goggles are impressive!

 

Like the conversions subtle but effective! Need moar! (And better lighting ... :lol: )

I really like the camo on the second group!

[MithrilForge]

O.K.,for those that asked for the old camo colours, i asked my mate to take a trip back in time to when he did it and this from his vague recollection of it is the colour's used...

 

Base - Astronomicon Grey followed by the camo pattern of - Black, Eshin grey & white.

 

thanks for the comments guys, will post more next week

I like the splinter camouflage pattern. The solid blue uniform blouses and pants, however, look like Arbites uniforms (non-military police SWAT teams for those living in the Third Millennium).

it's kinda funny, we discussed this last night how people asked about the old scheme and how funny it is that he hates the old scheme cause he's looked at it for years   and he always wanted an urban/Arbite/judge dredd and appleseed (one of his favourite's) influenced force...

i guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder

More Arbites next week  

 

cheers, Mithril

[Brother Captain Ed]

Why didn't I think of sawing off lasguns to make a shotgun??

 

Brilliant. Consider it stolen. The 177th thanks you for your service!

[NatBrannigan]

That IS a good idea... they look really good as well.
