I kinda forgot about my rewilded gunplas. There’s loads more of them now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll make some time.

Backdrop is from the first Skies book. #jhbackdrops
A photo of some model robots heavily modified with rusty paint jobs and tufts of grass. The scene is dimly lit, their eyes are glowing green.

Thought of the day for #Guardvemer 12th:
“It may take time but the Guard will be ready eventually!”
I promised my 250th follower @laochdua.bsky.social to paint the mini he named Cpl James Santiago Benitez in Aug 2024. I didn’t expected it’d take over a year. But here we are.

“Send in the Marauders and give ‘em hell! NO, NOT MY POSITION YOU IMBECILE! I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!” Master Vox Operator Corporal James Santiago Benitez calling in air support during the battle of Lorech. Imperial Guard soldier with brown uniform, green armor, Lasgun and radio unit backpack set up in ruin scattered terrain in front of a sci-fi city backdrop by Jon Hodgson.

Inspired by @prideonparade.bsky.social for #prideonparade, I've gone DEEP into FULL GAY for these Dire Avengers. Not my favorite models, but fun to finish out once the idea hit!

Sunday #Guardvember post:

When the Outpost was attacked from all sides the crude soldiers of the mortar teams were needed to provide flexible heavy support. It’s a tough job.

Three imperial guard mortar teams in a fortified position. There’s a Sentinel (by popular demand) a heavy Bolter team, a Chimera and bunker walls in the background. Shot with a yellowish backdrop by Jon Hodgson. The soldiers are “Cadachans” kitbashed from Catachan snd Cadian bits.

You’re welcome!

The same Scout Sentinel in 6 different color settings (orange, dark blue, green, light blue, magenta and red) in front of a Jon Hodgson backdrop. I used no color filters but shot different pictures with a color changing LED Lamp next to the miniature.

Friday #Guardvember post:

When Sergeant Bremmer of the #4thMemnonRegiment and the rest of bravo squad fought stubbornly to defend the turbine hall against the Xenomorphs they didn’t check their rear enough.
Hopefully they will make it to the elevators.

A Squad of newer Cadian models led by a Sergeant with autogun is set up with industrial terrain and a blue light source. Behind them lurks an old green Tyranid Hive Tyrant. A fitting blueish Jon Hodgson backdrop was used.

Thought of the day for the 4th day of #Guardvember:
“Soldiers go where the fight is!”
Raised & trained in the jungles of the colony world Emperor's Hope, these snipers of the #4thMemnonRegiment fight in a very different jungle: the ruined “Golden Terra Mall” in urban Lorech.

Three old Catachan Sniper miniatures (standing, kneeling and lying down) in different brown-green-grey tones set up in debris scatter terrain in front of a Backdrop showing a derelict hallway. The light from the left side looks like there’s a fire burning.

On #Guardvember we highlight the unsung heroes of the Imperium:

“Oh holy Kantrael, help me with my aim. Make my shots take out my foe and bring me safely home!”

“It’s not unusual to get into a firefight with insurgents when on guard duty at one of the checkpoints around the quarantine zone of Lorech city. The armoured support here serves not only as a deterrent.” Three imperial guard soldiers behind a curved sandbag barricade aiming their Kantrael pattern Lasguns in different directions.
