Well I have finished up some more models. I completed another 20 Infantry, but you have seen what they look like painted. I submit to you now, some new material. First off are my Ratling Snipers. I painted them in green as it is the traditional color for Rifles. I was able to complete these thanks to an anonymous contributor.

Next we have an Astropath. I stuck with a very simple color palette. I wanted him to look more like a Monk than anything else. I like the way his hollow eye sockets turned out.

Here is one of my Platoon Commanders. The camera really adds a few pounds. He looks even fatter than he really is. Simple head swap got the job done.

Here is my other Platoon Commander. Commissars make great conversions for Praetorian Officers. I may make him my Company Commander when I find a replacement. I have used him as Al'Rahem before also. I like the way his carapace armor came out on top of the red tunic.

| Lieutenant Frederick Austin |
Here is a Gravis Pattern Heavy Bolter. At this time I have 5 complete to attach to Platoon Squads.

| Wait for it!!! |
Here is what 3 of them look like in a Heavy Weapons Squad

That is all for now. Next on my table is 10 more infantry, Master of Ordnance, and a couple of Commissars. I hope I have motivated you.
Really nice models, I think they look awesome! Some aren't a fan of dipping, or shading using varnish, but its hard to argue with the results your getting! You've obviously got your technique to a T, because these guys look great! I spend literally hours painting and I think what I get in the end looks ok, your able to churn out an Army which to me looks visually stunning in large numbers. Thanks for sharing, I'd love to see a large scale shot of just your finished infantry. Keep up the great work, I personally always enjoy seeing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the remarks. It is encouraging to hear that. Helps to keep me motivated. I am planning a group shot soon. Actually, the owner of FTW Games in Virginia may be taking some professional style photos and putting them on his blog (Spikey Bitz.) If that does happen I will be sure to link the photos here.
ReplyDeleteLooking very fine indeed!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the plucky looking Ratlings especially.
Oh and the Gatling Guns of course! ;)
Now that's a good haul. Those ratlings are great, really like the green uniforms idea. Makes me want to watch Sharps Rifles. :)
ReplyDeleteI just recently finished Sharpe's Rifles. It was playing in the background as I painted. It really helped me push through. Great series.
