-WIP- Imperial Guard Commissar Pt 2

Hello!
It's time to paint our commissar!


I first primed with an airbrush using the Vallejo Black Primer.

Then i coated the model with Lifecolor Panzer Gray and Vallejo Hull Red on the base.

After which i applied the base colors.
Since he is an officer i painted the sash with ultramarine blue and epaulettes with Vallejo Liquid Gold

.. and I washed the entire model with black oil paint thinned with (a lot of) white spirit

...Then i added a few details and i did all the highlights

On next post you wil see the finished commissar!

-WIP- Imperial Guard Commissar Pt 1

Hello everyone!
I'm still working on my Imperial guard, and since I'm not a very experienced player, I was advised to use a commissar in the infantry platoon.

I immediately set to work!

This is a very simple conversion, but once painted in my opinion is very nice along with the rest of the army.

I chose the torso of the Tank Commander.

I separated from the rest with a hacksaw and i sandpapered to make it fit with legs.

I used the metal head of PIG IRON PRODUCTION, which I think was perfect for this model.

The right arm was derived using the arm from heavy weapons sprue (mortar servant)
The left arm is that who originally carries the sergeant chainsword, and the bolt pistol is from space marines scouts sprue...

I pinned and glued all components.

Now it's green stuff time :D

I sculpted the shoulder pads like those of real military officers
I also sculpted the band like such as that used the officers when I was a conscript

(ps: I have been in the army in the true 157 ° Infantry Regiment in the far 2000! haha)

This is the result...

Now it's time for Pt 2... PAINTING!

-WIP- Leman Russ Punisher pt1

Hi all!


Everytime i speak about the Leman Russ Punisher, my friends tell me that's too expensive, that it has no AP, that is only BS 3 etc etc... BUT I LOVE HIM!

So i decided to make a conversion ahahah

I started by cutting the barrels from an assault cannon from Dreadnought plastic kit...

...then i used a land raider bit as enclosure

I filled all gaps with green stuff to make him more resilient, then i sealed with plasticard.

After the green stuff has dried, i drilled all barrels and i've added some details with a plasticard stick, i've sandpapered all imperfections and i added a periscope...

Heavy 20 GO GO GOOOO !!!!!

 ...Painting is already started :)

-WIP- Imperial Guard Kasrkin squad pt2 (Scheme Test)

Hi all!

I've tested my colour scheme on Kasrkin Sergeant, i know that usually we must use an old miniature to make tests but i felt confident on result ahahaha

At first i started with base colours...

I've airbrushed the whole model with  Lifecolor Panzer Grey (RAL 7021) and i've added some details with Mephiston Red, Nurgling Green and Boltgun Metal

Then i washed with blak oil paint...

After the oil paint has dried (it takes about 2 hours) i've added more details and highlights

  

Then i made the final highlights and i painted the powersword with airbrush... 

When i bought this miniature was in these condition

...And this is the result after plastic surgery ahaha

PS: The green slime on the base was made with Vallejo Still Water + Vallejo Transparent green

I'll post photos of the completed squad soon!

Thanks for reading!

-WIP- Imperial Guard Kasrkin squad pt1

Hi all!

Some days ago i bought an Imperial Guard Kasrkin squad that i want to use as veteran squad.

The first thing i've noticed when i opened the package, was the bad status of all minis.

So i thought that they would need a bath into paint remover.

After 24h into acetone (i use it to soften old paints and primer) and 24h into denatured alcohol, finally i was able to remove almost all paint with a toothbrush...

Then i've "decapitated" the poor sergeant with dremel...

...and i've replaced his head with the one from Pig Iron Production ( http://www.pig-iron-productions.com ) because all men in my regiment will wear a gas mask!!!

After giving to sergeant a new head, i've glued all men on their bases and i added some details with green stuff, plasticard and sand.

Now they're ready to be painted!

Thanks for reading!

-SHOWCASE- Leman Russ "Valentine" completed

Hi all!

Finally i've completed my first Leman Russ!

I've added some details and i've washed the whole model with light brown oil wash to simulate rust and erosion of rain contaminated with radiation.

I tried to recreate the effect of radiation on vehicles, using historical photos of vehicles used in contaminated areas...

That's the finished model, i hope you like it!

See you soon!!!

-WIP- Leman Russ Battle Tank

Hi all!
After painting the chimera, as an admirer of WWII tanks i felt a bit stupid to have never tried to paint an Imperial Guard tank...

Painting the chimera was a lot of fun, so i bought an old Leman Russ to make some further experiments on these beautiful models...

First i added some detail and i sandpapered the ruined parts.

The hull side was broken so i built a new tailgate with Plasticard and i've created the welds with the green stuff.

Then i primed and started to recreate the same color scheme of the chimera, adding some other details.
I washed the whole model with black oil paint and then i applied a color filter with a light brown oil

This is the result so far ...

And tonight ... TO WORK!

-SHOWCASE- Imperial Guard Chimera

Hi all!
A friend gave me an unpainted chimera from his collection so i decided to work on a model that i've never painted before... The imperial guard Chimera!
First of all i removed all lasguns from the hull because i hate them (ahaha) so i made a conversion with some plasticard.
Because it's meant to be used with Armoured Battlegroup from Imperial Armour Vol 1, i've removed multilaser from the turret and i've glued an autocannon.
The top hatch has been replaced with that of the space marines vehicles (it looks better for me)
I worked some days and this is the result!
Hope you like it!
See you soon!

-WIP- Iron Warriors Mechanical Chaos Spawns

Hi all!

I started to make some chaos spawns that will accompany my general and a friend of mine gave me a good idea: why not just use the Ork Killa Kans?

My face was:       O_o

So i bought the "orkish fateful box", and i started working.....

From 3 Killa Kans, i've to build 5 chaos spawns, so i had to mix a lot of bits together...

Unfortunately i had to revise my plans, because i believed that the spawns were mounted on a 60mm base, but instead i found that they using the 40mm!

These are the first results of my sleepless night...
Now i have to add the green stuff to make the model more "demoniac"...

TO WORK!!!!
