A little more progress today with models 197, 198 and 199 for the year (unless I’ve miscounted which, let’s face it, is very possible).
Three assorted Imperial Guardsmen:
A sergeant/lieutenant for my command squad (with the yellow stripe helmets), a plasma gunner for the same and a trooper with a grenade launcher.
Astute observers will notice that I’ve used metals on the officer, in a departure from the rest of the soldiers in this force. I really wanted to replicate the Rogue Trader look, where command squads and officers have gold cuirasses, so I used a Lieutenant head on a spare sergeant body and painted him pretty.
Also, I think this might be the first time in over 25 years that I’ve bothered giving a power weapon a blue hue!
Three off the pile. Next is number 200! What will I paint? I haven’t decided yet, but it’ll be something neat before I launch into more guardsmen.
BATG Score: -10
