Barret Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I built these guys like a decade ago, I think before the B+C include Guard? Anyways, I dug them out of storage the other day and thought I'd share some pictures. I may do some more work on them now? I've found a bunch of armour I never built for them back in the day, and I think they need some restructuring since they were built for a Codex that still included the concept of Infantry Platoons Everything that's painted: Red Platoon. Their Heavy Weapons Section has actually gone missing at some point. Must have stored them in a different box. Green Platoon's Command Section, with attached Commissar. And bagpipes standing in for a Vox. Green Platoon's Heavy Weapons Section Green Platoon, D Section The WIP of a bagpiper, showing the construction And an unpainted section, showing the way they were built. Took ages to build a section If I do continue on with them (I probably will let's not kid ourselves) I need to add some armour, and maybe some transports. Plus I gotta do some Highlanders. I just gotta. librisrouge, Etheneus, Vykes and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoridon Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 A nice approach :) That piper definitely needs completing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barret Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks! That piper is finished now (I think he's in either the Company Command Section or Red Platoon's Command Section), I just wanted to show off the in progress shot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Great stuff, the extras really go far all together. You definitely need to finish these and add some armour ;) Barret 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Your models are competently assembled and painted. I'm surprised to see bagpipes in a Canada-themed regiment, though. Is that really a thing with real-world Canadian military units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really a thing with real-world Canadian military units? Yup! It was more common in WWI, but there are a few "Highland" regiments here still. And pipe bands are common even in non-Highland and non-military organizations. Plus, I was inspired by stories of Canadian pipers in WWI playing during battle. Mostly, though, I love the pipes and wanted to include them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
