Inso Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 The penultimate unit: Just the command squad and a few "characters" to go now :) . (EDIT - The guy, front left, now has the black parts of his ID disks painted ;) ).

Bonehead Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The quality never drops. Once again, amazing work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364408-a-small-astra-militarum-army/page/8/#findComment-6101140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started painting the command squad now :) . I've also sent off a pair of Astropaths, an adventurer and my little mourning diorama for casting so HOPEFULLY, I will have casts of those to paint up soon. Then I just have to decide on how the servitors will look, sculpt them, get them cast up and paint them to finish off the army. ... Then I need to build a display case for them (Hammerfall Bunkers will play a pivotal role in this).

Inso Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Here's the last of the standard troop units for the army; the command squad for the third platoon: ... and this is the view of the army box (everything is painted :) ): Now I just need the six miniatures to be created to complete the army... so I will be fettling until they are sorted :) .

Bonehead Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Bravo. By my count, that's 122 models you've made and painted yourself. Just in this collection! Amazing!

Inso Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Cheers @Bonehead... that's how it WAS going to stay (apart from the additional six I previously mentioned but... The army fettling has begun... ... currently, I am converting a pair of advisers (air-force and artillery) in order to replace the two that have been overly converted with patches and ranks on their sleeves (these ones): I have also decided to put together another platoon in order to use up some of the spare miniatures that I have accumulated. This platoon will be assembled like this: Command - Officer, Medic, Comms, Sgt and Heavy Flamer. Infantry Squad - Sgt, Comms, Flamer and 7x Lasgun. Infantry Squad - Sgt, Comms, Flamer and 7x Lasgun. Infantry Squad - Sgt, Comms, Flamer and 7x Lasgun. Heavy Weapons Squad - 3x Autocannon and 3x Lasgun. So far, I have selected the units and have put them into their own bags. Any conversion/painting work for this platoon will take second place to the existing army plans... and it won't form part of the army display that I'm planning to build (unless I change my mind). Lots to do :) .

Inso Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 I recently went to Salute 52, at the ExCel centre in London. I had a great time and have put a blog post together, to share my thoughts. Here's the post: https://insosworld.blogspot.com/2025/04/salute-52-plus-other-animals.html There is also a hint at what direction the Servitor sculpts might take... so it may be worth a look :) .

Inso Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I have got quite far with my servitor robot. The body just needs a few tiny details and then it'll be time to focus on the arms (normal, servo arm, plasma-cannon, heavy bolter and multi-melta): It's getting there, though... which is good since it's the 5th or 6th attempt at a design for the Servitor robot...

Inso Posted Monday at 07:21 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:21 PM @Token - I don't do sculpting videos but I could probably put together a guide with pictures/text if needed... I'll see what I can sort out. In the meantime, I decided to get the army out and see where we're at :) : Everything that I have, that is destined for the ORIGINAL army plan, is painted :) .

Bonehead Posted Monday at 07:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:35 PM The servitor's looking good already. But more than that, the whole massed collection is incredible!

The Pounder Posted Wednesday at 02:15 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:15 PM I absolutely adore the army shot! Painting is great and they look impressive as a whole force!

Inso Posted Friday at 09:39 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 09:39 AM Thanks :) . It's been a long project and I will be happy to see it finished. It's certainly one off my bucket list... "create a range of miniatures and build an army from them"... CHECK! I guess it is fitting that the last miniature I need to create, is being a pain in the butt :D ... what's worth having is worth working for, I guess...
