Here’s a picture that shows how my Imperial Guard army has developed since I first started collecting in the 1990s. The figure to the left is a 24th Praetorian painted in the style I used for many years before I finally decided it was time to update the army’s appearance. The centre figure a repainted 24th Praetorian (you can see the full company above). Finally to the right there is a figure from the army I am working on now. This mimics the 24th Praetorians using a modern plastic Cadian with a resin head from Anvil Industries.
Recently I’ve also uploaded three videos about collecting Imperial Guard that cover basic Cadians and getting the most for your money from them, alternatives produced by Games Workshop and also using parts and figures from other sources. These are all linked on my blog here.
A few years ago there was a question on the Reaper FB page asking to see your earliest work next to your latest work.
I no longer have the first piece I painted but I did at the time have the 100th so I used that vs what may be well above 1100 figures later. Ironically a few weeks after I took this photo I repainted soth.
So I worked on this dude two days ago. Never posted the pic.
Really wanted to like the model but it has so much flash I must have bought the last use of an older mold. When I took it out of the bisterpack the R shoulder piece had a 1/4 tall blade on it that shouldnt be there.
Rereading the Wheel of Time.
Decided to throw some Trollocks at my Dragonlance players. to do that Ive picked up some figures that im going to mix n match pieces to make them even creepier. These are the first 2 finished.
Took a break from the army of Trollocks. Quick wyvern; Started it Thursday night and finished him late friday. May need to add a washer to the base to keep him from faling over if breathed on.
I decided that my Dark Angels army needs a revamp and tried out a new paint job on a previously unpainted squad of marines drawn from the starter sets of 5th and 6th edition (which shows how long it is since I’ve painted space marines).
I’m pretty happy with how these have turned out so I’m going to work on some more. Next up is an officer and a librarian.
From left to right here are a Dark Angels company and a librarian master from the 6th edition starter set.
I’m not as happy with these as for the squad above, especially the librarian but they’ll do and I have more I can have another go at. The figure on the right is an older limited edition company master made of metal from an army box set. This was already painted to my previous standard but I found I could easily upgrade and rebase it. Hopefully this will be true of many of the other already painted figures.
I’ve now done a second tactical squad. This time these are models I’d previously painted so I’ll start with a before photo (although I had already replaced the bases with 32mm ones) and covered them in sand.
After reworking the painting they now look like this:
I still need to pick a new banner for the squad.
Thanks. Now I’ve carried out my challenge and painted another 50 marines this weekend.
I also turned it into a video for YouTube:
