The very last of 2019

As I was unable to continue with my Imperial Guard due to running out of desert yellow spray this eldar proto-guardian gets to be the last miniature I complete this year. Returning to work after holidays tomorrow I seriously doubt being able to painting anything more before the year changes.

This chap got the same red, white and metal scheme as the few eldar I´ve painted before. He´s actually a standard bearer model and I even have the back mounted banner pole for him but decided not to use that yet.

 Shuriken catapult with chain blade. That must be one heavy gun to handle. Armor is mephisto red shaded with agrax and then washed with bloodletter. Highlights with go fasta red.

Some leathery pouches on the backside. The large knob for standard pole is quite visible.

Desert rats

Or ratlings to be precise. Big feet and big guns. Most of these chaps have been presented here before so now it´s just a group photo of the completed squad. These are very nice models with sharp details and good faces. Even a mediocre painter like mhyself can make them look pretty decent quite easily.

That all five of them. The last one to be completed is the kneeling one on the right.

Happy holidays to my readers! I might be that at current painting and blogging pace the next update is in 2020.

Get your men... er... squad into position sergeant!

So again a month since the previous posting. My rate of painting and blogging has been terribly slow as of lately. Let´s hope that the upcoming Christmas holiday will remedy that.

In any case here´s the Bravo company head commissar model I´ve been working on for some time now. It´s been close to ready for a while but due to post offive workers strike here in Finland some bitz I needed to complete it were stuck some post warehouse for four weeks.



As you can see it´s a bit of a kitbash of oldhammer and more modern parts. The commissar himself has been modified just a little to make it look like he has stopped his bike and is keeping it standing with his left foot. His right hand was bent a bit too.

I got the bike without fairings and gear shift lever. Those were replaced with modern plastics. I even added that single big headlight as someone in Facebook suggested. I´m pretty happy with how the bike look now.

"You heard the commissar! Move it lads!"

I´ll be building and painting another bike soon as that commissar need to be attached to an officer.

Missing a couple of parts but I think you get the idea.
