A foul emissary appears...

As a break from my Guard (pics coming soon) I've painted up a Plague Priest. This is an old model (kindly donated by a friend) which I'm pretty certain wasn't intended to be a Plague Priest, but I think works pretty well as a lvl1 scroll bearer.

I tried a few new things with this model, like painting his flesh to look very sickly, and painting his fur a more blondy brown. I think the first worked well, not sure about the second.

Back to the Guard production line I go!

Guard on Parade.

Thought it's about time I get some pics of my Imperial Guard up. These were the guys I first started painting when I got back into the hobby just over a year ago, and at the time it was the most advanced paint scheme I had ever painted. Which doesn't say much.

Going back to them though I'm pleased with how they look, although simple in scheme they still make an impressive display on the board though I say so myself, and the simpler nature of the scheme has allowed me to paint more of them quickly.

So without further ado, I present the men of the Asardis 61st Light Infantry!

These red beret lads are my Company Command Squad, accompanied by a bright blue wearing liaison from the Manchesini 148th Artillery.

 My purple beret platoon's Command Squad.

 A and B squads of purple platoon.

 Turquoise berets mark the light artillery squads.

Black berets for the Veteran Squad. Note the shotguns which are pretty terrible in 6th ed. Oh well, they still look cool :).

 Lord Commissar Jacomo Maecantus.

Supporting drop troops (Storm Troopers) from the Helvardus 15th Airborne.

More pics to come, and next time I'll throw in a little fluff too!
