The Guard Dies But Does Not Surrender!

Hard man words, Sir, truly hard man words.

Old Guard, French Imperial Guard, Grognards. Double hard bastards.

Nice and quick to paint, thankfully. Only had them in the grey plastic for about five years as well.........still need to do the banners though

On to Middle and Young!

ACW - Confederate Skirmishers

For a break, heres some ACW skirmish units. As ever, Confederates are simplicity themselves to produce en masse, so painted these as a bit of a break.

These here below plus the ones I already had makes it 30 skirmishers now, so its possible to play some Rebels and Patriots or similar, I reckon. Not far off finishing my ACW altogether now as well! 

Orcs!

Had a LOTR twitch over the last few weeks, so dug out some old unpainted stuff I've had kicking around for years and set about it. Nothing too difficult, nor too taxing.

Think we'll probably use the Erehwon rules for these, if they ever see the table. Not that I don;t like the GW  system when playing it in the past, but those combat rules were something I never could really get on with as its basically "who can roll a 6?"

Painted some Wargs too but don't seem to have photographed them.......oh well, next time.

Be'lakor - Demon Prince

Be'lakor - bought god knows how many years ago. 15? More? I've no idea. Basically whenever the model got releassed, I bought it, then undercoated it and it sat there being unused ever since. Partly as I was undecided on whether to go for red skin or something else, as I was in my KHORNE ONLY phase at that time.

Whilst digging around as in a chaos mood to paint, thought "ah, this'll do" and a nice quick paint job which really came out well. One of those where the paint was loving it. Probably a 40 mins job from prime to complete.

Iron Warrior Terminators

More Iron Warriors, Terminators this time. Went for HH era ones and they look BADASS.

Whether they prove to be so on the tabletop........lets see.

Khorne Warlord

Obrist Weil, former Imperial general. Known as a masterful strategist and taking immense pride in his campaigns and their military execution. During the Great War Against Chaos, tasked with a large force during the march North, but fell to Khorne and turned on his allies during the Coachorses campaigns.  Was forced into a fighting retreat when the Chaotic forces were deleted and disappeared into the wastes.  

The reappearance of this man in the Far Northern Imperial borders is an ill omen.

My old Khorne general, from back in the days when my chaotic forces rampaged around the club (Clapham Wargamers) and Khorne was mighty pleased with our tally. Quick (20 mins) repaint after sporting his old paint job for many many years.

Cam out pretty damned tasty, although I don't have a chaos army any more. Couldn't let my boy go though.
