Pablol - Imperial Guard - Month 4 - Rank & File

This month was a struggle. I had a flu and during that week I worked with too many units and tanks without any proper focus on my April goals. The rest of the month there were too many parties and busy weekends until I realized I was badly running out of time. The ambitiously started April turned into a damage control month and here's what I managed to finish:

A squad of five servitors. One of them, the only 2nd edition model is a substitute until I finish a third lasgun armed model. I think servo armed models were only available in Space Marine forces back in 2nd edition. The colour scheme didn't quite end up having the 2nd edition feel I was looking for, but they're ok. The jumpsuits could've been a brighter colour or I should've just properly committed and painted them red. Atleast I'm happy how the servitors weapons turned out. They give a bit more of a 2nd edition feel with the clunky lasgun muzzles.





Next up we have a heavy weapon mortar team thats still missing the other three models. I'm quite happy with the mortars as they're all milliput recasts. They lack a bit of detail compared to the original, but three metal mortars would've been past my budget. 




Last but not least we have two tank crew members. A converted Van Saar juve and an Other World Miniatures barbarian. I started working on the juve before OWAC, so he's got a 3rd edition auspex in his hand. The pilot helmet is from my favorite 40k models, the three third edition tank crew members. The techno viking got a spanner and bionic arm.




All three are unfinished units, so I won't add any points this month. I'm very happy with the tank  crew members and the cultist regiment is also slowly expanding. Hopefully the Tech Priest I'm working on will make the servitors look better with the rest of the army. Atleast he will be red.





Still no tanks! This was my last Rank & File month, so I've only got the wild card and leader month left.

Good luck for everyone!

Samuel’s Empire - Grand Army of Nuln - Rank & File II : Gunnery School Artillery (295 pts)

This month was a short one and as I had a week long business trip planned I needed to pick the lowest model count and get to work sharpish. So to that end, it weas time for the big guns!!!


For all the Gunnery School based models I wanted to add a spot colour. So based on the various different colours used by Nuln units in the literature I decided upon green. Pretty happy with how it turned out.












Von Glockenspink himself!

The wood is very well sculpted, but boy is it a pain in the ass to paint. 


Points so far:-


Rank & File I (Jan): 

 - 19 x Halberdiers : light armour, standard, musician = 189pts
