Closing the year 2023 with a bang

 Or actually multiple bangs as the last thing finished for this year is a lead belcher organ gun. With all sorts of things going on there has been not that much time available for hobby activities. Yet I´m happy to have painted at least something. This is one of those models that has sat for months unfinished on my painting station so getting it done was quite satisfying.

My leadbelcher model was missing it´s original wheel that I replaced with 

the ones you see here. And I had only four of the six crew models. 

That is not a problem as per army book the gun comes with three goblin strong crew.

The gun from behind. There´s a lot of details both on the carriage and the gun itself.

And the gun shield is very detailed too.

Another view from the side. Can´t remember where these replacement wheels came from.

Old School Rhino

 The original Imperial Guard army list published in WD109 back in january 1989 stated that "The Adeptus Mechanicus and Servitors accompanying an Imperial Guard force must be provided with sufficient vehicles to carry them". At the moment my IG army has two Adeptus Mechanicus and four servitors. I chose a rhino APC for their means of transport. It took me a while to get my hands on an original rhino and even longer to finish painting it. It sat in a locker for couple of years undercoated as I was gathering motivation/courage to finish it. My experience on painting vehicles is very limited. Anyway here it is now.

I general I´m pleased with how it turned out. Kept the paint scheme simple and in line with the rest of the army. 

2nd walking egg

 Rougly four years ago I posted an Imperial Guard sentinel I had finished painting. A couple of weeks back I managed to acquire a second walking war egg and quickly threw some paint on it. Two sentinels can be called a recon section, can´t they?

Very simple desert color scheme as with the rest of my Imperial Guard.

Desert yellow, black, leather brown and metal.
