Imperial Guard Cadian Shock Troops Completed

Finally these guys are done.  Took too many parts to finish them.  Of course if I'm only painting for an hour or two it takes longer than it should.

Added number on shoulder.  Expect my first video tutorial in the next couple of weeks.


JJ painting,
Lane wanted the imperial skull with wings pearlized blue.  This is an example of above table top.


All skull with wings pearlized.

Shoulders numbered.

The basing material is sand from Arizona.  Surprisingly it changed colour when it was wet by Elmer's glue.  Which makes sense.  Wet earth = mud.

Pic of basing material drier about an hour later.

Critique away.

    Those turned out looking sharp! It's amazing how much difference adding some basing material will make on a model.

    Keep up the great work!

      Thanks. As you can see there were a lot of small rocks in the material. Had to use a fork to pull out the larger rocks.

    I like the different coloured base for the NCOs- may have to steal that idea :)

      Yeah, thought about that several times while painting them. Its actually an unintenional affect. Guess the sergeant was purchased from a store and was based different colour than rest of the squad.
