Fixing some Ultras
A while back I got these in a buy from ebay, and the Volkites had been attached in a wrong way. A few bits of plastic rod, and some spare hands later, and these are almost ready for painting. I do need to add some GS to the right wrists first though.

Start of something new!
After months of doing mainly Iron Warriors, I'm starting something a bit different. I'm finally restarting on my loyalist guard army that I began in 2009. There is however a twist, I'm planning on building a skew list that I can run for 40k and also for 30k using the militia list. Let's hope 3ed Heresy doesn't remove that option! The theme of both lists is horse heavy, about 60 for 40k and 90 for 30k. To make the points, I will also be using up lots of my really old guard models from my storage box in the garage. Here's the first WIP shots of some infantry. I'll be adding a couple more guard to replace one of the melta gunners so that the can be fielded as grenadiers in 30k, or Catachans in 40k. The models are Catachan legs combined with the upper parts of Empire Outriders. I have the latter left over after making rough riders. The melta guns look a bit shonky, but they are a digital kitbash of something I found online, and it was an easy conversion.

Iron Warriors Warp Talons
I've had these years, but finally got to slap some paint on them - same complaints as yesterday's chosen, too fiddly!

Iron Warrior Chosen
If there's something I like less than painting infantry, it's painting highly detailed infantry, and I've had weeks of it. Weeks because my free time is pretty limited at the moment, and I need lots done for an event in June. Of course this time of the year is quite busy on our small holding and the day job has been requesting extra hours too. Anyway, here are my chosen, a mix of GW bits and 3D printed parts. They aren't my best paint job, but they are done at least.
