Gnovember 2020 - final tally

 With both Gnovember and my gnome models running out shortly it is time to look at what got done this time.

The last two troopers. One with a halberd and the other with a large hammer.

A small earth elemental. A freebie I received from Krakon Games. "Painted" with
Astrogranite technical and higlighted a bit. Some turf thrown on his shoulder to
make it look like he´s been raised from the very ground he stands on.

My painted gnomes so far. They can already be called a war band, can´t they.

Gnome Command

That was one fast delivery! I ordered a few gnomes from Krakon Games after painting a patch of five in the beginning of Gnovember. And here stand painted some of those new ones.

From left to right: Geomancer, standard bearer, champion and musician.
The champion is from Krakon Games Gnome set 3. 
But with that pose he looks like a leader of some kind to me.

Those faces are almost too small for my ageing eyes. Or maybe I´ll just
havo to give in and get those eye glasses...

Genestealer Patriarch

 It´s been a while since I posted anything GS related. My Cult army has been without a leader but just the other day I found time to finish this Bob Olley patriach. There are only two oldhammer patriarch models that I know of. This and the one that sits on a throne. The running one suits gaming purposes better in my opinion. And is less expensive. Check this posting for his Cult Coven.

Painted mostly with contrast. Some regular paints for metals and higlights.

With those long arms it´s pretty hard to get a really good picture of him.

Back shot showing the purple body under that black carapace. And his tail.

Stat line and special rules for gaming.

Now I need to get him a limousine. And a few more purestrains as there´s only one now.

Gnovember is here

 My input to Gnovember 2020are these five Creatures Underground Gnomes. I painted another bunch of these back in 2018 when I got these. You can see those here. Used the same color scheme to make them into a unit of ten.

I still like the half-pick armed ones in the middle and farthest right most. The sword wielding chap is not bad sculpt either.

I have an old citadel pre-slotta gnome jester lurking somewhere... Perhaps I´ll seek him out and turn him into a leader of some sort.

edit.

Felt like the little prospectors needed a place to rest for night:

Really can´t remember where that tent came from...

Support platoon Command section

 Here are the latest additions to my Rogue Trader era Imperial Guard force. A Command section to lead the support platoon that will eventually be made of one support squad, one tactical squad and this command section.


The whole section together. From left to right: medic with las gun, heavy weapon trooper with las cannon, standard bearer, captain, commissar, section sergeant (using a imperial army medic model as he has the right weapons), 2nd heavy weapon trooper and sactioned psyker with las gun.

Ridiculously big plasma pistol and a crude field cybernetics/bionics fix on the captains right arm.

Better look at the heavy weapon trooper and the psyker. Bravo company´s banner
just visible on the left side. Yellow is the B company identifier color. Blue means that
it belongs to the regiments 1st battallion and red is the regimental color for 114th Salihanian.

The medic and the other heavy weapon trooper.

Really enjoyed painting these two. A bit different from the common plastic troopers.
And in a good way.
