    Only in death does duty end: Tanith First and Only

    I have spent the last three years on this project, slowly working it in my free time while at the Academy. All infantry, All plastic GW cadian, Catachan, and a random assortment of bits. Now that I have a working, but poor, camera; I bring you Gaunt's Ghosts.

    The man himself: Gaunt (Lord Commissar)



    Mkvenner (Marbo)


    Bragg (Harker)


    I'll be updating fast and furiously as most of the army is already finished, just need to paint six more men and then dull coat everything. If I can find a better camera, I'll take better pics as these colors and drybrushing are kind of washed out. What do you guys think?

    Currently searching for a better camera, but until then...

    Mkoll (PL/Al'rahem)


    Ayatani Zweil (Priest)


    Zweil is the only metal model in the army, as I didn't feel like converting a model for him after making over 110 guardsmen...

    Looks like a well thought through project. Pictures dont do your model any sort of justice. Im having a hard time judging your builds.
    Do hope you can lay your hands on another camera.

    Looking forward to seeing the whole army.

    Got a new camera and with it comes decent pictures! The drybrushing is there, I assure you, the lighting in my barracks is terrible and my daylight bulb is at home. I'll probably be posting new pictures daily now. Let me know what you think, thanks.

    Looking good, but you need to work on the focus with the camera :P

    Usually as you take a shot a little rectangle appears on screen - that should be over the part you want to focus on. As it is, these last pictures are all focusing on the base which leaves the actual model fuzzy

    Looks good. The newer pics are definitely better to judge by. Any chance of getting pics of some of the earlier stuff with the new camera? Hark (though there are some of him just poorly focused), Mkvennner and Bragg for example. The conversion ideas look good though - Mkvenner holding the kife by the point is a nice touch.

    Pity about the earlier pics being blurry but from what I can see your conversions are coming along very nicely. I must say your bases are looking particularly good, the flat black of the guardsman needed something to add a bit of colour and depth and the bases really tie the models together.

    I don't know what point along in the ghosts history your army will be based on but you might want to add a few blue face tattoos.
