Punkfish's BA 5th Company

[Mega Nutz]

The scheme works well pal, certainly binds the old and new models together! Me likes!!!

[punkfish]

Thanks Pete, glad to hear that you like it.

Very impressive work on your BA army ! I especially like the honour guard and librarian.

Glad to see some elysians too !


Looking forward for more ... ELYSIANS !!

Oh have no fear, there will be more Elysians, I have a Veteran squad to post up, as well as a missile launcher squad and some las cutters/count as melta gunners.

I've got some surprises for the regimental advisors too, I'm itching to paint them first but I have to be strong!!!

[punkfish]

Apologies for the double post, but I've just remembered that I didn't post up any pictures of my Elysian infantry squad. In my army list, they currently fill the role of Veterans with the Demolitions proficiency.







I still need to finish the bases and add a highlight to their lasguns, but otherwise they're done.

Elysians are looking good. I like the dark tone you went for, special ops should wear such colours! They might be a little hard for the wallet (says the man with multiple pre heresy armies), but they look so good as a completed army.

Cheers!

Thanks DPA - coming from an excellent painter such as yourself, your praise means a great deal.

I've managed to finish my Pretorian platoon HQ along with their commissar, pics are below for your perusal. I'm halfway through writing some fluff for the force as a whole and will post that up when finished, for now though, the pics






C and C welcomed as always

Beautiful IG, but I sure do miss your blood angels :innocent whistle:

[punkfish]

Thanks buddy, don't worry, the BA's will be getting some love next month, I've got a mk3 Sternguard squad and Razorback to paint for the Bolter and Chainsword's annual painting challenge.

Very nice models punkfish.... the praetorians are really good looking!!! only drawback I personally find is that the color scheme blends too much with the base... my opinion of course! Your models are nicely painted!

Ah.... your marines instead are fabulous!!! I love the red not so bright you used on them and NMN is really cool!

[eltanko]

Loving the look of the praetorians, great work. A darker colour choice than usual for them, makes them look tough and gritty!!

@epsylon2004 - thanks for the kind words, I know what you mean about the bases, I had the same reservations too. I'm going to leave them as is for the present as I want to get the whole army ready for the table-top. I've had the Guard army on ice for at least 10 years so it'd be nice to just get the force onto the battlefield. I might add some extra touches to the bases in order to bring in a bit more colour though.

@eltanko - cheers buddy, I wasn't sure if the colour scheme would work initially, the original scheme was all black, much like the early 20th century constable but I decided that I needed to add red as a spot colour to integrate them with the Elysians.

Looking good ! Just as i though, after looking trough your thread im sure i was right. You paint better and alot faster the me.

Like those gritty elysians.

Thanks for the kind words SDKFZ, I don't think I paint that quickly although my painting output has increased significantly over the last few years.

Glad you like the paint schemes, now when's the Capitol Imperialis making an appearance?

Only 'cos' you know you'll get abuse if you don't!

How very rude

Although without you chivvying me along I doubt I'd have been as prolific a painter over the last few years. So take a bow Meganutz!!!

[Seville]

This is a great plog. I really like the commisar!

You're too kind...

On a serious note buddy that's some seriously nice looking work!!

[punkfish]

Thanks Seville and Meganutz, I shall try to keep the standards high for my next batch.

[SDKFZ]

I hope so, now that youve got me glancing over your shoulder
