Group of Imperial Ocupation Forces Germanica, the Fulda Incident

[le Mediko]

highly interesting stuff! I especially like the camouflaged uniforms and the way you use to make your troopers realistic. The soviet looking Chimera is very interesting too.

[Ariobarzanes]

Thanks Le Mediko; im cutting mi fingers and some plasticard too in the shape of some Selenian classs autocannons; hope you like them.

Tonight wi will have an update featuring the ratlings and some explanation of cammo

until then.

[Ariobarzanes]

Pacta Sunt Servanda

First an intro to the cammos used in this project:



As we can see, line infantry wears a drab uniform, special forces (inquisitorial stromtroopers) wear amoeba patter cammo usin the basic colors and the adition of charadon granite "points" as well as grey "zones" the I.G. Stormtroopers wear flora pattern (dots of bubonic brown added) wich is an upgrade of amoeba

Second update: we have bases!!!
well yes, they had bases, but, they were not painted.



bases are painted with wargames foundry 3 tone system colour sand first; a devland mud wash is aplied (1:1 mix) after dry, a light drybrush wiht bleached bone is aplied; the rim of the bases uses graveyard earth (calthan brown base, two coats of graveyard earth) finally; using a glue gun we add the grass.

And now the Snipers:

Thanks to Hasslefree miniatures for providing the miniatures and the rifles.
as an update: Hasslefree miniatures has expanded its repertoire of poses for the snipers so, time given, the squad will change.

I tried to paint partizan cammo on them but, they are too far of my painting skill (gin, gin and not law practice is to be blamed for)











Untill then gentlemen.

Nice painting on the troopers and I really like the Chimera, particularly the front end - reminds me of a BTR-60.

[Ariobarzanes]

Gentlemen; Im getting married so, a 15 day Hiatus would be observed in this PLong untill then, remember to be brave in life and do what you love.

Ariobarzanes.

[PariahZero]

Love the snipers man!! They just look awesome! Might have to copy that idea

Edit: Congrats!!

[Colonel Stagler]

Ario, nice work mate. Your partizan looks good enough, I recognised it for what it was on your Alfa group. Your MTLB looks pretty ****in sweet as well, as do your casted torsos. Webbing and chestrigs are what IG need, not armour.
Keep up the good work mate.
Stag out.

[Ariobarzanes]

Greetings Gentlemen today we will have two (2) updates first of all:

It with my greatest joy that Maxmini are producing (or soon to sell) 28mm heroic torsos, behold:

http://www.maxmini.eu/forum/index.php?topic=406.0

Our second update is, that I built 2 chimeras while getting married!!! photos would be uploaded during the course of the day.

[Ariobarzanes]

As stated, and armour update: the MT-LB chimeras are almost done 3 in stock 2 more to be done C&C would be appreciated.







Next week heavy weapons and infantry (based and painted of course)

[sheep]

Chimeras look fantastic mate! As do all the recently painted minis.

I still really like your torso more then the one they are producing, but i can see how there might be an issue if they released it lol.

Cheers

[laudarkul]

Chimera's are perfect. You can add some radiostations/backpacks/fuel barrels on the side or some tracks for extra armour.

[Ariobarzanes]

Greetings gentlemen:

First of all; an apology my camera broke so pictures of progress will be delayed, second being married its time consuming so we will be posting in a weekly basis (saturdays)

Second, im glad to found this:

Untill then.

[Ariobarzanes]

They herald the will of our emperor, be by the essence of the sun, be it by the cleansing flame



Bitz Used:

Games Workshop Chimmera
Old Crow Models 25mm Crossfire turret
Old Crow Models Gun Barrels
Plumbing materials

Two chimeras were converted to hellhounds, in order to fullfill multiple roles flammer and melta canon turrets were made, also, frontal weapon mount was set to a generic shape in order to be meltas or flammers

more images

[Ariobarzanes]

We will post an update tonight, with further ideas about the hellhounds and a general state of the army

Thanks for waiting.

[Ariobarzanes]

Its being a long time since my last update; in the end I bought a camera ex profeso in order to continue.

I thank and aprreciate your patience.

My plan is this: 1.- Finish basing the infantry platoons, 2.- Finish the armoured units, 3.- Finish the foot company and then, we would be making this...

[sovietred]

Nice IFV Ariobarzanes. By my minor suggestion, why dont you fill the space between hull and back track? Just use water pusher or something else?

[Ariobarzanes]

Point taken Sovietred i will fetch something from the bitz box

BTW I send you a PM
