"The waiting is the worst part..."
"So the battle isn't so bad?"
"Oh, right. I forgot about the battle" *whimper*

Having done a thread featuring the Emperor's Children in all their elite fancy-boydom, it's high time I focused on my hordes of guardsmen. The steel legion has been finished for a while. This thread is dedicated to my minervans, Elysians, and "low-tech guard". If anyone's curious about my steel legion stuff, take a look at a few of Dave's batreps... they're the ones that eek out the 100-300 point victories and annoy the hell out of Dave :P

So, welcome to my IG catch-all thread!

First up:
"Old Rubber Sides", a green-stuff test of an Epic 40K Russ. The turret, las cannon, and dozer blade are metal, but the rest is... not.

He'll be a commissar or filler for a tank platoon.

I acquired some FW stormblades a little while ago. I really love these models. They're done in the scheme I'm using for skitaari and minervan AV's:

Basically, the scheme consists of a base of shadow gray, drybrushed with codex, followed by blotches of iyandon darkson with a green ochre drybrush. Then the whole thing is washed with badab black and given another drybrush of the grey and ochre.

Ughh... missed some spots with the wash, I see from my own pic. @#%@#!!

In the same scheme: Centimanders. Otterware tankettes with an IG autocannon suitably modified.

Command version: I used the same autocannon guy, but put a twin flared muzzle on the end to represent a flamer:

You should put a pin-up on Ol' Rubber Sides. A fat chick with mammoth love handles ought to work.

Love the Stormblades and the Centimanders. If I had painted my Steel Legion now, I would have gone for these colour tones as well.

Almost as perty as the Elysian storm troopers look when I find out whether their valks are optional or not *cough* *cough*

Nice. Are you using the Centimanders as Chimeras or as Salamanders?

The inclusion of Command variants with Heavy Flamers (as well as the 3+1 squad structure) suggests Salamanders, possibly with double duty as Centaurs for Kreig.

SG is right; they're salamander proxies.

They could probably work as sentinals too, if you were playing the right list. Very nic idea.
